Great tour of Edinburgh - Stuart was an excellent guide and historian. Covered a lot of distance, we had an e-bike and that helped a lot towards the end of the route. No better way to spend 3 hours!

Great bike tour of Edinburgh! - This was an excellent e-bike tour around Edinburgh. The ride from Dean Village, down the Water of Leith, and around Leith (with a pub stop) was especially enjoyable. Ricardo was a great guide who provided interesting commentary along the ride. I highly recommend this tour.

Don't hesitate to take this tour--it's great! - A very fun bike ride! I felt very safe riding through Edinburgh--the tour kept us in very low traffic conditions. It was mostly on bike baths with beautiful scenery. The tour guides were so helpful and took pictures for us that were sent to us after the ride. A mostly flat and easy ride. I highly recommend this bike tour!

Would do it again - We saw areas we would not have seen if we were just walking around. Great to be down by the waterfront. Our leader took good care of our group.
Thanks

Excellent way to see the city! - What a great experience this was! Excellent way to see so many parts of Edinburgh. Tour guide was knowledgeable, funny, and kept the group safe. I was worried the biking would be difficult, but the electric bikes made it so easy. I highly recommend taking this bike tour! Best thing we’ve done so far. Thank you!

Great way to see hidden Edinburgh - Ricky’s tour was definitely a highlight of our visit to Edinburgh. Weather being perfect helped 🤭. It was highly informative and easy riding taking in parts of Edinburgh you would normally not see as a tourist. Ricky’s entertaining and educational tour delivery was great. Loved it and would highly recommend it.

An amazing experience - My friend and I were a bit nervous as we are casual bike riders and had never ridden an electric bike before. Surprisingly, it was quite simple and, quite honestly, we wouldn’t have been able to keep up riding a manual bike.
The tour was one of the best activities we did on this vacation. Ricky was an excellent guide and he provided information about the locations we visited. The info was quite interesting and we learned much about the history of Edinburgh.
I would highly suggest this tour. Lots of fun, info and exercise.
