Overview

On this tour up to Arthur's Seat, your friendly, knowledgeable and professional guide will lead you through Holyrood Park and talk you through the very distinctive natural, historical and geological sites you encounter on the way up. Holyrood Park is home to an extinct volcano, medieval religious sites, 3 lochs (“lakes”) and a former hill fort. Following your climb up (and many photographs at the top) you'll be guided back down to Edinnburgh, finishing where the tour started.

Get a bird’s eye view of Edinburgh (and Scotland) and experience Edinburgh like a local. Arthur's Seat is the city's No. 1 attraction on Tripadvisor.

To hike Arthur’s Seat does take some physical exertion and those who join us should be confident in their fitness. This tour is great for those who love a good hike but want to learn more about Edinburgh and hear some interesting stories along the way. This tour is only suitable for individuals who can hike for 2 hours up steep hills.
