2.Arthur’s Seat Sunset Hike with Mountain Guide

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 27 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $61Top rated

Meet Marcus or Sarah at the King’s Gallery for a two-hour sunset climb through Holyrood Park. Expect a moderate uphill walk, local stories, wildlife, photo stops, a head torch for the descent, and a Scottish snack at Arthur’s Seat summit.

“Whilst it was grey and didn't see much views, it was so worth it, and not Marcus' fault about the weather! I struggle with anxiety but, Marcus was approachable, as well as knowledgeable which put me at ease. It was a lovely walk, and beautiful Heather scenery (even if not the views!). Would definitely suggest some level of fitness to do this walk, and check the weather forecast before booking, however, if you are okay with this, I would highly recommend. There is also just some peace of mind with doing Arthur's Seat at sunset/in the dark, when with a guide.”
