Lovely ride packed with many great sites. Leanne provided us with interesting historical and local information along the way as well. Highly recommend!

There are many "small" hills on this ride so I recommend upgrading to an e-bike if you don't want to exert yourself so much. The group is small and at some point ride on the road but otherwise there are dedicated bike paths. This route does NOT take you to the city centre if that's what you were looking for but rather to the coast at Portobello where you return via the same route. I would have enjoyed a new route back to see new things but alas, it was out and back the same way.

This tour was nice and easy with a number of great views. Our guide, Carmen, was wonderful! She was extremely helpful to riders who didn’t have much experience, adjusted her speed to include everyone, and shared some fun facts about the route and places to see. Plus she was just a super sweet human anyone would be happy to meet! The only downside to the tour: the meeting point is a bit outside of the city center but easy to get to by foot (about an hour) or by bus (£2, ca 20 minutes). Would recommend!

Jenn was a phenomenal guide who made sure everyone felt comfortable with the pace of the group. She provided fun facts but also gave everyone an opportunity to chime in with guesses! We probably wouldn't of seen the beach without this tour! Definitely recommend for anyone.

Excellent guides and well maintained bikes! It was a nice way to see the neighborhoods and Portobello Beach. We rode to the beach and enjoyed a nice long lunch. Enjoyed meeting and chatting the other travelers. The rose back seemed super quick!

Had an amazing time biking and chatting with Jen and the other members of the tour. I was worried it would be awkward to do alone or maybe too intense of a bike, but it was just perfect! Very much enjoyed the brief stop we took at the water. I don't think I would have seen this whole side of Edinburgh if I hadn't done the tour and I'm so glad I did! It's a beautiful city and I had a lovely time. Thank you so much!

The Wee Pedal Team was tremendous. They were very attentive and thorough while getting us outfitted with bikes and helmets; they shared interesting information while on the tour; and the were kind and thoughtful throughout. This was particularly so when one member of our group had some challenges riding. One member of the staff stayed with him at all times to make sure he was ok and to help him feel more comfortable riding. We really enjoyed getting to see Portobello beach.

We cycled on cycle paths through a tunnel to the foot of Arthur’s Seat and then onto the coast for coffee and cake. This was part of Edinburgh that we wouldn’t have seen otherwise and was stunning . Leanne and Richard were lovely they took lots of photos which they shared and really looked after us. We cycled at a comfortable pace with lots of stops so this tour would be suitable for all abilities and ages . Would highly recommend this tour.

My 12 &15 yo and I did this ride. We were in our own small group. Our guide Richard was wonderful and shared really fun history and tailored it to my 12 yo. The ride was a nice pace and the weather perfect. I’d do this again in a heartbeat.

We had a wonderful bike tour of Edinburgh with our guide, Jen. She was very knowledgeable and so much fun! We stopped for coffee and a snack at the beach on the North Sea, rode by Arthur's Seat and through a super cool tunnel. This was a great activity on our vacation, definitely a refreshing break from the normal tourist fare!
