We wanted to see more than the tourist spots in Edinburgh. This was a wonderful trip, just want we wanted. Rishi was very helpful and answered all our questions. He had water and snacks for us and an all day bus ticket, that came in handy. We used it again! Riski was thoughtful and waited for those who had to go slower. Be sure to bring the appropriate clothing and shoes.Punia62

Wanted to see the Pentlands and nature during the autumn season as colours are beautiful this time. I knew I would love it again to hike with Rishi, but the experience we got all is indescribable. The weather was chilly, but clear, the colour of the leaves were so diverse and that I have never seen before. And Rishi's enthusiasm, knowledge and passion just made our family hike wonderful and unforgettable. If you are in Edinburgh, don't miss this experience with Rishi. Thank you Rishi again and again!Réka G

One was made poster on our wall :) My 5 year old daughter asks me every day when we go back to Scotland, well. She is also addicted to the videos (especially sheepies :) I think I fell in love with this piece of countryside and the kind of one-to-one guinding which I never experienced before but this was such a peaceful and interesting day... Thank you! Hope we can come back next september! Namaste!
