“Lauren was an amazing tour guide really informative and funny, she said at the start of the tour there would be no gimics or people jumping out which was a big relief as it allowed the tour to feel completely truthful and spooky. I didnt see any ghosts but did feel things while down in the vaults. I would ahve liked the time in the vaults to be a bit longer as it was teh best part but every location we went to was very interesting and I think the information and tour seemed very well planned and humorous while scary at points. I would completely recommend this tour as…”

Hike Arthur’s Seat with Mountain Marcus for sunset views, local stories, a Scottish snack, and a safer descent by head torch.
“Marcus is a phenomenal guide, helping navigate the best routes and the terrain. He brought walking poles and flashlights (which were very helpful for the way down, especially if it rains as it did on our tour). It’s hard to capture how magnificent the views are throughout the entire trek, but they are. He genuinely has a passion for the outdoors and sharing with guests; we are grateful. Highly recommend!”
