We booked this tour yesterday evening because our 7 year old wanted more than anything yo do a bike tour in Edinburgh. This seemed like a reputable and responsible operator and we received an immediate online order confirmation and an email that assured us “When you have booked and paid please consider your tour confirmed unless you hear otherwise.”
Well it turns out that’s not the case. We built our day around this and showed up 20 minutes before the tour. We waited and waited and waited. 10 minutes before we tried to call the operator. No one answered. We called over and over again and no one answered. We emailed and then finally we got an answer 15 minutes after the scheduled start time with a completely inadequate: “ Sorry our online system messed up. We’re happy to give you a refund.”
Now I’m left with a kid in tears and a wasted morning on our short trip to Edinburgh. Could be more disappointed in this operator.

Our tour guide David was an absolute pleasure. He explained everything that we would experience and it was accurate and informative. The beginning had a bit of a hill climb but very manageable even for relatively healthy people who bike seldomly. We saw beautiful scenery of both landscape and historic significance. The winding streets, parks, and seaside paths were amazing. David made the ride even better with his conversation and thoughtful breaks.

Awesome tour of Edinburgh. You will cover a lot of ground. Our tour guide was very patient with us even though we were a bit behind hime for a good amount of the trip. Most of the ride is on trails, some on the city streets, but felt safe. It’s a super beautiful ride, but believe them when they say you should be moderately fit at least. Company has a lot of bikes to choose from so there’s something for everyone.

Finn was outstanding. He communicated the route, turns, hills, traffic and historical factoids. I enjoyed his discussions about Scotland’s history, politics and climate.
A keeper. A true ombudsman for Scotland.

We took the family friendly tour, which was excellent for our 8 and 11 year old. Did lots of biking on a variety of paths. Our guide, Finn, was excellent, friendly, and knowledgeable. We saw many new parts of Edinburgh and Leith learned a ton about this beautiful city.

The bikes were great, the leader was excellent. I would have liked to have seen our route on a map and a few more opportunities to take photos. Otherwise a really great way to spend a morning and to see more of Edinburgh . Thanks.

We had a fabulous time on our cycling tour of Edinburgh. Our guide Sam was wonderful - he took us around really amazing places and shared his deep knowledge of Edinburgh's past. We cycled through tunnels, climbed up hills and along the shore with some really breathtaking views. The tour made our trip to Edinburgh a very memorable one.

Kathy was super easy to work with when we were booking and set us up a perfect tour for our ability and desires. Donald was our guide. He planned a beautiful route through the countryside. We got to see new little lambs in the fields plus great scenery. In the end we got a good workout and a proper scottish adventure.. thanks Donald and Kathy for an experience we won't forget.

This was a great way to experience Edinburgh. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history, and shared it in a meaningful way. A good understanding of basic rules of the road is helpful, as a small portion of the trip is on roads.

Hello, it is a 5 hour tour - good for regular cyclists. It is taken at a gentle place.
There are a couple of hills, short but steep.

Hi! We 4 arrive Edinburgh Airport 8 am from the US August 22 Wednesday. If we find our way to you for a guided tour or self-tour that morning could we stash our bags at your shop? We can’t get into our rental til 11:30 on Rose near Princess and thought it best to do something active so we can stay awake all day and got on Edinburgh time. Thanks, Mona, Beth, Sara and Dara

Hi we are a family of four and would like to know what attractions we will see and how many miles for the full day tour? We are very fit and in shape! How much does it cost and how do I book reservations for next July 2016? Do we get dropped off where you are located? What clothes are good in the summer to wear while riding? Thank you.

Hello and thanks for your questions. We have descriptions of our bike tours on our web site - there you can see the distances, sights, and points of interest and also on FAQ you can see what we recommend you wear. We have group departures daily of three different tours (from GBP 30 per person to GBP 45 per person) - or if you prefer then we can tailor make a tour to exactly suit your requirements (similar prices, depending on length). Scotland can be warm or cool in summer so it is best to keep an eye on the weather forecast and dress appropriately (cycle shorts, t-shirt, cycle gloves, rain coat are usually best) - we always run our tours regardless of the weather. Please email us at Edinburgh Bike Tours for further details.
Many thanks.
