Don't be intimidated....enjoyed by someone closer to 70 than 60! - I was a little concerned about ebiking in a country where the cars drive on the opposite side of the road, but this trip is all on paths and trails with no autos around. The guide/owner was fantastic with just the right amount of history at each stopping point. Highlight of the trip!

Take in the Sights on a Slow Ride! - We did this as a couple who were joined by another couple and their daughter. Although we traveled far, it was not intended as a workout. Our guide was fantastic and made sure we stopped at plenty of historical and tourist sights. It was a unique trip and a special way to see many parts of the city. Absolutely recommend this especially for the occasional bike rider!

Fun Family Outing! - Our family had a great time with the wee pedal team! They were knowledgeable, fun and helpful.
As far as the path, you get a terrific view of Edinburgh and beyond near Arthur's Seat, a sneak peak outside Holyrood castle and a ride by of the Parliament building. The history we learned was different from much of what we'd heard on other tours and a chance encounter with a Newfoundland pup was a ton of fun.
My only recommendation is that you consider padded bike shorts since the e-Bikes used have narrow seats. That said, we highly recommend this team and this tour for an afternoon of fun and outstanding city views.

A must do when in Edinburgh! - This was our favourite tour while visiting Edinburgh. Leanne was a fantastic guide and the ebikes were so much fun! It was a great way to see Arthur's seat and some of the beautiful countryside of the city. It's also great to know that by booking this we're supporting the local community. Would definitely recommend and do it again!

See more on a bike! - This bike tour was everything and more. Gil and Mike were great in making us feel comfortable in adjusting to the e-bikes and were very knowledgeable and interesting. The tour route was a lovely way to see parts of Edinburgh you might have missed just walking. The bikes were easy to use and quite helpful through hilly terrain. I highly recommend this tour!
