About
Spend the day away from the bustling streets of Scotland's capital city, Edinburgh. We provide bicycles, helmets and transport into the heart of the Trossachs National Park just a short 1.5 hour drive from the city centre.
We will spend our day cycling in the magnificent landscape at the gateway to the Highlands of Scotland. Passing by shimmering lochs, spectacular waterfalls, lush native forests and gazing upon the steep slopes of the towering mountains. We may be lucky enough to spot wild deer, eagles, highland cows and all the other wildlife that call this impressive park home.
There will also be a great lunch stop with a stunning view. (Lunch not included in price)

We booked a private bike tour of Edinburgh city with Ricky's, and it was a fantastic tour. Ricardo was an exceptional guide and told us many stories and historical tidbits about the city and the things we were seeing. We got to go from the city center out to the beach and back again, seeing a lot of the city layout and different neighborhoods. I felt like we really got a feel for the city and its sights in a few hours. Ricardo was extremely personable and funny, and my family really enjoyed the whole tour, to include stopping for crepes and other snacks down at the beach! We also really appreciated having the option between regular bike and e-bike, which was good for our group where some of us did regular bikes and some did e-bikes. Awesome tour, would highly recommend!

Excellent tour. Gorgeous scenery. Stuart was our guide and he was wonderful. He has a genuine love for cycling and sharing Scottish history. We feel quite lucky to have had such a fabulous tour with him. We highly recommend.

My husband and I have done many bike tours in many locations. We absolutely loved the Scottish Highland tour. Ricky was very flexible, knowledgeable, and created a wonderful tour. The ride was almost all on off road trails, that were doable for most cyclists. The scenery was stunning and Ricky was very adaptable with the agenda. All the equipment was in good working order and Ricky even provided gloves and rain coats (for the mist at the start of the ride). I really can’t recommend this ride enough. It has been our favorite part of Edinburgh! Thanks for a stunning day, riding the Highlands

A fantastic ride with Stuart. My wife and I had a private tour of the Trossochs around Loch Katrin. The trail was paved and it was an easy ride, especially with the electric assist. The bikes were in great shape and Stuart was extremely considerate, checking up on my wife and I.
You really can’t pick a better trip than this.

Wonderful day with Ricky in the highlands in Loch Katrine’s area. Magnificent scenery! Nice bike tour with lovely places for nice breaks. All very well organized. Just take a day outside Edinburgh to get a flavor of Scotland!
