We have fun, work hard and aim high - to be the best we can be.

As a local, independent 5 star family business we've been giving history a ‘damn good telling’ since 1985.  The unique personality of our team shines through all we do, guaranteeing a warm welcome and memorable experience for our visitors every time. 

Our multiple awards and reputation recognise our desire to give the best quality experience – for our visitors, our team and local community.

Excited to join us but not sure you tick every box? 

Don't worry. We don't do boxes!

We always want to hear from people who care about visitors first and last, are passionate about our beautiful city, relish a challenge and will thrive working with our great team. 

Pop us an email join@mercattours.com and we'll take it from there or, if you prefer a chat, call 0131 225 5445 and ask for a member of our Leadership Team.

Our promise to be an inclusive employer runs deep. This is clear through our public commitment to the Ban the Box, Race at Work Charter and Opening Doors campaigns. We're working to partner with 'Only a Pavement Away', 'Who Cares? Scotland', the Refugee Employment Network and Euan's Guide to offer job opportunities to all - no boxes to tick.

A Warm Welcome for Everyone

Mercat Tours promises to provide valued Living Wage jobs and make diversity, equity, and inclusion part of everything we do - from the team we nurture, the visitors we welcome and the history we share.

We are continually growing to fulfil our ‘why’ – to make meaningful connections that benefit everyone in an inclusive way for all.

In the last few years, we’ve doubled our team to 50 people. In the past we have been bigger and have learnt that operating at this smaller scale means we look after our team, visitors and community far better. 

We’re responsible for all the choices we make - how we run our business, spend our money and mindful that our team is representative of our visitors.  We want to create a sense of belonging for everyone at Mercat and will keep working hard to review and achieve this. Thank you for being a part of our community.
