 Chris 'The Magician' Melling Member 1443, 978 posts SQ 270, BP 180, DL 320770.0 kgs @ 135kgs UnEq | Looking to take the kids up for halloween and wondering if any sugdenites have been on the tours and what they think of them? Been looking at Mercat tours so far out of Blair st and the website at least looks the business just hoping to get a bit of feedback before I book  | ||

 I thought Joplin choked on a sandwich? Member 616, 8404 posts SQ 180, BP 130, DL 220530.0 kgs @ 78.8kgs UnEq | I've lived here for 7 years and I've never actually been on a ghost tour Mary King's close was very disappointing, not a tour but similar. There is the dungeons too which is a chain I think. Same as York dungeons the camera obscurer is on the royal mile, open till late, and awesome. Really enjoyed it where are you staying? I can't recommend ghost tours but can suggest other trips/places to eat etc | ||

But I wouldnt be taking kids there its pretty dear I'd go with the kitchin over martin wisharts, much the same in that it's nae cheap but you get what you pay for. As far as ghost tours, I went on one last time we were down, can't remember which company it was but it was a decent enough way to spend an evening, down in the closes and such. I would also recommend the museum if you like that sort of thing. | ||

It's simply just better, knocking on the door of a second star, the kitchen isn't | ||

It's simply just better, knocking on the door of a second star, the kitchen isn't Agree to disagree I guess, I've been to both and preferred kitchin, suppose it comes down to personal preference to some extent. Don't get me wrong both are excellent though. | ||
