About this tour
This call is a short planning session for anyone about to walk in the Pentland Hills for the first time. Lorna goes through a map with you, matching a route to your fitness and available time. She points out which paths give the best views without requiring a full day on the hills.
The call is short and focused, starting with a few questions about what you want from the walk before going through the map together. Lorna answers what comes up and sends the chosen route afterwards as a simple summary.
It suits anyone new to the Pentlands who wants a realistic route rather than guesswork. It also works well for visitors with limited time who still want a proper walk.

How reviews work
Only travellers who booked and paid through Locals Guide and whose tour took place can leave a review, within 60 days of the tour. Every review is marked "Verified booking". We check reviews before they appear and publish positive and negative ones alike; we remove only reviews that break our rules (insults, personal data, unrelated content). Guides cannot pay for, edit or hide reviews, and ratings are the plain average of all published reviews.
