“Favourite Edinburgh Experience”

It’s hard to capture how magnificent the views are throughout the entire trek, but they are.
Marcus genuinely has a passion for the outdoors and sharing with guests; we are grateful.
Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of being lead by Marcus who has much experience hiking around Scotland. We stopped along the way to take amazing pictures and had great conversation. I highly recommend doing this hiking tour. I felt safe and Marcus offered much insight into the history of the city

“The best way to climb up the hill!”
★ ★ ★ ★ ★
We had a fantastic time with Marcus hiking up the hill to Arthur’s Seat. Guiding us through the less crowded paths and through the best picture spots but still focusing on safety resulted in a fantastic experience that we couldn’t have achieved on our own. It was also so informative that an extra couple of tourists joined the party half way through

Watch the sun disappear below the horizon as you hike to the summit of Arthur’s Seat, accompanied by an experienced Mountain Leader.
After meeting your guide at the end of the Royal Mile an hour before sunset, enjoy a scenic route through Holyrood Park, immersing yourselves in nature as you ascend the hill.
Marvel at the constantly changing sky, with its colors becoming more dramatic as you walk up the hill. Arthur’s Seat is right in the middle of the city, so when you reach the top, you are rewarded with stunning views of Edinburgh.
On a clear day you can see far in all directions, with some of Scotland’s high mountains visible on the horizon. At the summit, enjoy the panoramic views and take memorable photos before heading back down.
