Exploring the wilderness by bike.
· Scottish Highlands Edinburgh Bike Tour
A well organised day of exploring the natural beauty and serenity of loch Katrine and Trossachs National park trail. Plenty of photo stops. Our guide was well prepared and extremely obliging. Take a rain jacket and be ready to experience four seasons in one day. The scenery is spectacular and the sound of little streams and cascading water nourishes your soul.

Awesome Day Cycling in the Highlands
· Scottish Highlands Edinburgh Bike Tour
My husband and I have been on many cycling tours. We absolutely loved cycling in the Highlands. Ricky was a knowledgeable, flexible and warm guide. He did a great job showing us some stunning scenery and adapted the tour to our skill level. The riding was almost completely off-road and was exceptionally beautiful. We just about had the trails to ourselves and had a wonderful day. I really can’t recommend this trip enough. It was our favorite activity in Edinburgh.
