Very fun! The tour guide was pretty knowledgeable about the history we saw, took many pics and then airdropped them to us at the end, and the bikes were easy to use. The only part you even really needed an ebike for was going up to Arthur's seat. Got some good exercise and the place was easy to find (right next to a bus stop!). Would do again
Loved this tour!

We did the e-bike tour around Arthur’s Seat with Richard and it was amazing. He clearly explained directions (our first time on electric bikes) and signaled to us when to slow dawn and stop. Richard was a fountain of knowledge and he told us so much about history and Scotland . His delivery and approach was clear and organized. We stopped at many places along the way for information and pictures. What a memorable tour it was!
Fun Tour!

Great ride around the area of the palace of Holyroodhouse and Arthur's Seat with beautiful views of the area. E-bikes made for an easy ride. We had a bit of wet weather but came prepared and did not dampen our spirits. Coffee spot at the end was good chance to dry out and have a chat.
Favorite way to see Edinburgh

Our ride was pleasant and could easily be done by an e-bike beginner. This was a great tour. Our guide was patient and informative. The route itself was beautiful, seeing a wee bit of Edinburgh and exploring Arthur’s Seat. I would definitely recommend.

What a fantastic way to spend an evening on a 2 1/2 hour E-bike history tour. It was a 10-mile tour around Craigmillar Castle & Arthur's Seat (although it didn’t feel like it) in the company of Gill who was kind, good humoured and very knowledgeable. The route was perfectly planned, with incredible views and the bikes were smooth, comfortable, well maintained and easy to cycle even for those of us without too much experience. The group felt small and intimate so it gave us a chance to get to know one another. We saw some wildlife en route which felt like we’d won Brucie Bonus Points. I can highly recommend A Wee Pedal for a unique and enjoyable experience.

This tour was so much fun! What a great way to see Edinburgh with the E bike. You are able to cover a lot of area. Our guide Gill was superb! She took us to so many places. And these were places that you might not otherwise see on a trip to Edinburgh. Places like Arthur’s seat, which is so beautiful and going by the Royals Palace and other really neat sites. Another really fun and appreciated feature was that Gill took pictures of us along the way with all the sites in the background and then we got an email with the photos. This was a great way to take pictures of the two of us and we didn’t have to stop to get out our cameras. We highly recommend this trip as a fun way to explore the beautiful city of Edinburgh.
Beautiful bike ride your

The historical bike tour around Edinburgh was by far the best thing we did on our whole trip to Scotland. Our guide, Richard, gave our group a personalized experience full of interesting facts about the history and culture of Scotland balanced with FUN! I went with my 65 year old in laws and they had no problem physically managing the trip. I can’t recommend A Wee Pedal enough!
