Award-winning circular cycle tour of Edinburgh!
This is a cycle tour you won't find anywhere else. I shall take you where other tourists will not know about and have no need to use vehicles as we start right on the cycle path making us a low impact business. There are other cycle tours in Edinburgh, but as I take small groups, ask as many questions as you like and take numerous photos without pressure of being rushed. This tour requires you to be able to cycle for a maximum distance of 20 miles with regular stops and at a steady pace. This tour is not suitable for under 12 years. From Craigmillar Caste, to the stunning Dean Village, Leith and Portobello, you will be cycling through all the 'must-see' parts of Edinburgh that are off the tourist trail. E-bikes can be hired at an additional cost of £15pp cash on the day. Please let me know if you would like this option. (If you think you would prefer a shorter tour, please check out our 'cycle tour to the coast' which is 12 miles, 3 hours)
