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.

Itinerary

  • Arthur's Seat

    Explore the 650 acres of green space we call Holyrood Park, located in the centre of Edinburgh. The highest peak in Holyrood Park is Arthur's Seat and we climb to the top of Edinburgh's most impressive hill on this tour. Please feel free to use the toilets in the Holyrood Palace Cafe before this tour starts, as there are not toilets on Arthur's Seat. On this tour you'll see the best views in Edinburgh, many types of wildlife, flora & fauna and a few medieval ruins might be in sight too!

David was a great guide, I'm not at my fittest but he was patient and helpful without holding the rest of the group up, and really interesting information. Lovely atmosphere with our group, great to make it to the very top and enjoy the views ☺️

Well worth doing

Published on Jan, 2025

I was a bit worried about whether I could do it as I'm not the fittest person, but it was fine. The only challenge was that it was a bit icy. But the view at the top was stunning. So glad we did it. Our guide was wonderful, ensuring that the pace worked for everyone.
