Fun Edinburgh Bike Ride

4.00Fun experience cycling through Edinburgh. Very nice guide and his assistance. I rented an e-bike but I would have done fine with a regular bike. Mostly a flat route.

5.00Ricky does an amazing job of keeping everyone safe during the tour all the while providing in-depth historical and current information about Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. We enjoyed meeting his dog Lucy. She loved to run behind Ricky's bike. The best part was taking a short break on Portobello Beach. The tour included several stops in Edinburgh as well as three stops outside the city.
The best bike tour in Scotland

5.00My wife and I had a great time - neither of us had spent much time on E-bikes - but our guide Ricky was very helpful in getting us all adjusted and comfortable prior to heading out. I would definitely recommend using the ebike - as there are sections going uphill where this comes in handy. Ricky was highly engaging and entertaining (with his little dog Lucy in tow) - and made for a great guide. Not easy I’m sure leading a dozen people of various skill levels through the streets of Edinburgh and then into more remote areas - but he manages to do it well and was a walking (or riding I suppose) encyclopedia of local knowledge and history. So many sights and places we would have never discovered or even known about had we not done this tour. And all were well worth the time and memorable After our 4 day stay in Edinburgh was complete - we agreed the bike tour was one of the best decisions we made to explore the area. Highly recommended
Super fun!

5.00What a fun ride this was! Our tour guide, Ricky, was both patient and informative, and showed us many parts of the city that you might miss if you’re on one of those big buses. The e-bikes are very easy to handle, even if you’ve never ridden one before. If you’re especially lucky, Ricky’s adorable puppy, Lucy, will be along for the ride — what a treat that was for us!
