Memorable Experience - My wife and I have done a number of these tours in recent years and this one was hands down the best. Superb tour guide and memorable experience. We loved it, and you will too.

The best tour we did! - Truly the best thing we did while in Edinburgh! We loved riding through the city center, all the way out to the seaside, and back. The seaside was my personal favorite. Seeing the city center is always great, but it was lovely to get out to the quieter places. The bikes were in great condition! We had manual bikes and found that the route was very easy to manage. There were a few inclines but nothing that a gear shift couldn’t fix. Overall, a top shelf experience that everyone should do in Edinburgh!

Fun sightseeing and a great experience! - We loved our tour and it was a great way to see Edinburgh highlights and the sea shore. The tour guides were fantastic, very informative and we felt safe riding through the city and country alike. The biking was pretty easy but we went through some busy intersections - we were glad we got the E-Bike because of the steep hills on the way back. Thank you for a wonderful day!

cool way to see the city - Electric bike was a nice touch. Great tour of the city to parts you won't see by foot. Be aware if you have younger children that there is navigation out of and back into the city with multiple street crossings. Completed safely with ease by all adults on the trip, even those with less skill level.

Good trip. Lots of... - Good trip. Lots of knowledge about Edinburgh shared. Unfortunately weather wasn't 100% but group didn't let this deter them!! We enjoyed a hot coffee indoors part way round to warm up before completing our ride.

FALSE ADVERTISING OF E-BIKES - The reason I am giving a 1 star review is because they did not have e-bikes as advertised and refused to give a refund for 2 of the 4 people scheduled to ride. The reason they gave for no refund was that there was not 24 hours notice for the cancellation. Which is an absolutely ridiculous response, because how could we know they didn’t have e-bikes 24 hours in advance? I understand the tour guide wants to make as much money for each tour, but this is false advertising.
