Mercat Tours International are a local, independent family business built on the values of respect and inclusion, of all.

After careful consideration we have decided to step away from Twitter/X. The platform no longer aligns with who we are. Effective immediately, both Mercat Tours and Mercat Tours International profiles have been removed from Twitter/X.

We will continue to monitor all social platforms to ensure they reflect our values and promise to our team, community and visitors.

After launching in January this year, we are delighted to be able to announce our first ever MTI Pals Donations.

🤝
£1400 to Talbot House - Every man's club – Archie Forrest’s Memorial Chair

'Why Archie? He too was one of the Pals. Talbot House was his refuge and escape. Following his tragic death just days before the Passchendaele campaign, his pals were inspired by Archie’s love for Talbot House and had this chair made.'

Your MTI Pals donation will now ensure the chair is restored and Archie's memory preserved.

🤝
£150 to Poppyscotland

'The support and generosity from Mercat Tours International is very much appreciated by all at Poppyscotland. It will pay for veterans to attend job interviews, travel to work and help those facing homelessness.'

Your MTI Pals donation will have a positive impact on veterans and their families.

' In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.'

'In Flanders Fields', written by John McCrae (1872 - 1918) on May 3rd 1915

Bringing 20th Century History to Life

We were established by a historian and teacher but you can forget about the classroom.

Our tours will transport you on a life-changing journey that reveals the incredible stories of the First and Second World Wars. Through engaging techniques of presentation, drama, media and ceremony, we recreate the past in a unique experience.

Join us on a journey across both France and Belgium; travel through the trenches, take part in moving ceremonies and listen to fascinating stories of those who lived and fought in WWI and WWII.
