David was exceptional. He was informative, considerate, helpful on the hike and very interesting with great stories. His passion for the area was evident!! When the hike got a bit steep or rocky, he prepared us and showed us the way. Great hike!

Marcus was a great guide. We walked on a path away from the main traffic which was nice and relaxing. We were a group of 5 which is just the right size for such a hike. Marcus told us about the city and the surrounding area and knew a lot about plants. We had several stops to take pictures. A nice and easy walk that most people can take part in. Thanks for a good day Marcus and fellow hikers.

Marcus took us up a side path away from all the traffic on the main part of the hike. It was a cozy group of five total on the tour. We stopped several times along the way for a break and to take in some sights and a little history, Marcus was very knowledgeable about everything including the plants and flowers that I like to photo wherever we go. I would absolutely recommend this tour to people. I would say this hike was easy to moderate in terms of difficulty.

It is a beautiful place but it was a harder climb than i had expected, so it felt good to get to the top. I was very grateful to David for his moral and physical support.

David was an excellent guide. Even though I have lived many years in Edinburgh, I learned a lot. I found some parts of the climb quite difficult, mainly due to scree on steep paths, so was very grateful for his patience and support to steady me. He was also very good company. Thank you. 12/10 from me.

Arthur's Seat is something I always heard you MUST do when you're in Edinburgh, so I was delighted to find a tour for it. The views are stunning, the stories keep you entertained all the way up, and the guide was incredibly friendly! I highly recommend to all the adventurers who want to learn about the history of the city as they climb to the tallest point of it.

Visiting from America, and really couldn't reccomend this tour more. Really informative, and the view from Arthur's seat was almost as good as the view of the tour guide. An enjoyable pint (or two) was had after.
