5.00This was a once in a lifetime kind of hike with Rishi! He was the most kind, patient, thoughtful and intelligent hiker. He led u, motivated us, educated us and brought us to one of the most beautiful sites ever. My 8 yr old an I didn’t think we could hike to the top of the mountain and back, but we did and Rishi made sure of it! He carried snacks & water and kept going on our pace. We will be back & can’t recommend a hike with Rishi enough! Thank you from Rhyal & Shagun!
Great hike with a new BFF

5.00Simply phenomenal. Rishi made us feel like old friends who he was sharing a favorite local activity with. Easy going and very informative. Rishi made sure everyone was engaged and also comfortable with the pace. He brought water and snacks to share in case anyone wasn't fully prepared. Rishi sent a very thoughtful text the day before outlining weather report and clarifying meeting location.

5.00Very enjoyable hike with Rishi, a passionate hiker and knowledgeable guide! I left the Pentland Hills hike with a smile on my face. The 6 mile hike provided an excellent amount of physical exercise. Seeing various plants such as spruce and nettle and learning about their medicinal benefits was appreciated. Relaxing together with some snacks while enjoying the sights and sounds of the nature around us added to the experience. Being able to see the Highland cows and sheep up close in their natural habitat was an unexpected treat. Whoever is searching for a great hiking experience should definitely sign up for this one. Thanks Rishi!
AMAZING! It was great...

5.00AMAZING! It was great having a small group & explore areas that I would not normally do so by myself. Rishi was very knowledgeable & answered all my questions & showed me what I had wanted to see. Nice seeing areas that are more of what Scotland is.
