    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!

    I had the pleasure of being lead by Marcus who has much experience hiking around Scotland. (His IG is Mountain.Marcus) It was only me on the sunset tour and we made great time. We stopped along the way to take amazing pictures and had great conversation. On the way down, he offered me one of his hiking poles since my it does get slippery. I highly recommend doing this hiking tour. I felt safe and Marcus offered much insight into the history of the city

    Marcus was a fantastic guide and ensured we had the best experience! As a solo traveller I wanted to make sure I was safe and able to take the best route up to the summit . There was only myself and one other person booked on but Marcus still went ahead with the hike to accommodate us. Very knowledgeable about the wider area too. The views at sunset were incredible . 100% recommend!
