· Loch Lomond to Edinburgh: Lakes & Valleys of Scotland
The company was very accommodating! We attended the Scottish Wild Foods Festival before the start of our tour and this just made the trip! We were shuttled from our hotel to the start of the tour at the Hotel in Balloch on the bonnie banks of Loch Lomond and pretty much from there had the smoothest trip! We had rain, yes, but we had the appropriate gear and we were in Scotland!!! The route took us past all sorts of gems, castles, distilleries, standing stones, stone circles, historical sites, gravesites, and amazing eateries. The hotel choices were top-notch! We loved every hotel each was different, unique, and had character (but not too much character!). The drivers who transported our luggage were prompt, attentive, and helpful. We really could not have enjoyed ourselves more. We found all sorts of treasures to stop and admire along the way, botanical gardens, ruins, waterfalls, and ancient archeological sites. Wow! I have fallen in love with Scotland! The train back to Edinburg at the end was perfect the station was close to our final hotel and the driver was there to collect our bikes literally right as we pulled in. When we arrived in Edinburg, the hotel was so close to Waverly station, so easy!
The one suggestion I would make to make the trip a little more stress-free...Puncture-resistant tire liners and "slime tubes" just switch them out before you start off on your journey. We did have a couple of flats, but we had spares, a pump, and a puncture kit, however just started off in a nice dry and warm place by switching out the tubes and putting in some liners. That was really the only thing I wish I'd had. Note: I did bring my own saddle (Terry Butterfly Ti gel) and the bike shop switched that out for me as well as my own clipless pedals. I also had rain shoe covers (which many folx stopped me to ask where to buy them). I was comfortable, dry, and warm. Could not have been a better trip! Thanks so much!- Countries included in this tour?

★★★★★ Sharen & Keith from Vancouver, Canada 2 weeks agoThis was a great informational and enjoyable tour.
· Glasgow City & Clyde Bridges Bike Tour
Dillon was an exceptional tour guide! As there were just the 2 of us who are over 70 but quite fit, he set the pace to make it so enjoyable for us. We saw lots of green space along the river Clyde and many interesting sites. ( we went back to Riverside Museum the next day...very cool!)
He gave lots of information at various stops.... We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour & Dillon!

Super leuke fietstocht door Edinburgh. Onze begeleider Stuart gaf ons veel informatie over de stad. Wist tot 2x toe snel mijn lekke band te maken. Mooie ochtend met mooi weer. Echt een aanrader!! Bedankt Stuart voor de fijne ochtend! Groetjes die 2 uit Nederland ?

Fun bike tour - bespoke 2 hours
· Edinburgh to Shore of Leith Bike Tour
We all had a lot of fun touring Edinburgh with Ricky! We were a group of 6 and he was very good at keeping us all safe and a very knowledgeable tour guide. It was great to have a bespoke 2 hour tour - although we didn't make it to Leith there was plenty to see in the 2 hours. and the e-bikes were brilliant on those steep hills!

· 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.

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.
