5.00Great way to see the outskirts of Edinburgh. Ricardo was very accommodating and informative. We loved his dog Lucy! Glad we had e-bikes, it made it much easier on the hills.
A Great Way to See Many Sites!

5.00Ricky's tour takes you to all the places you didn't know you wanted to see. It's a well-paced ride on excellent e-bikes - there were frequent stops during which he explained places of historical and architectural significance. The route is mostly on dedicated bike paths or in dedicated bike lanes, so even if Edinburgh seems to have busy traffic, this route is safe and accessible for both experienced and novice e-bike riders. We have taken e-bike tours in many cities and believe they are one of the best ways to learn about a new place. Ricky also shared insider tips for places to visit and eat - take the tour early in your trip and have fun!
Definitely recommend!

5.00This bicycle ride/tour took us to places around Edinburgh we wouldn’t have found on our own. We rode through city streets and lush green paths. Ricky is a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. We were in good hands riding through Edinburgh with Ricky as our guide.
Give it a go.

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed this bike ride and would definitely recommend it to others. We got to see a lot more than we would have seen walking. It was the perfect amount of time for the distance travelled. The tour guide was very informative with a great sense of humour. He was considerate of all.
Wonderful time

5.00The bikes are great, 3 hours goes by very quickly. Don’t worry about being incredibly fit. The e bike takes care of the incline. Ricardo was a wonderful guide.

5.00Ricardo is a professional experience rider. Very aware of the various levels of riders on the tour. Great combination of local sites and off the beaten track trails. Highly recommend him and Lucy!
Best views of the city are from a bike

5.00Terrific bike around town and outskirts. The ebike makes it pretty effortless. Ricky is charming and his dog Lucy is a hit with all throughout. You will see things you are not likely to find on your own or on a walking tour. So glad I went.
Great leader!
