Had a great tour with Johann, we got lucky with the weather being mostly calm and sunny-ish. The route was great and not too demanding when using E-bikes (a few hills that could've been a bit challenging on a regular hybrid bike). Everything went smooth from pick up to drop off and we really enjoyed hearing about the places during the tour but also hearing about places we passed while driving to and from the starting point. If you're someone who likes to cycle and see new places while enjoying nature we'd highly recommend this tour and as a matter of fact any tour with Johann. Having a professional guide who is also a wonderful human makes the tour even better.

Best tour. Very enjoyable day out. Johann did great safety briefing and explained how to use our E-bikes. Great to see the countryside. Would definitely recommend.

I arranged a trip to Edinburgh for my husband as a birthday gift and I booked this tour as the main event on his birthday and it was awesome Definitely a 5/5. The views were amazing and you get to see the wonders of Scotlands nature. The cycling made it so much more fun than just going to the suburbs by car, we got the e bikes and even though I was out of shape I didn't get tierd and Johan was so friendly with alot of fun facts for the tour.I would definitely recommend the tour and would book again with Johan if I come back.Btw ask Johan all about the pubs and restaurants he knows hidden gems.

Johan was extremely patient with my family members medical issue that caused 2 members to excuse themselves from our tour after it started. The rest of the party was extremely happy seeing some beautiful parts of Edinburgh's suburban areas and coastal region. Cannot say enough good things about the day. We had a wonderful time despite some early adversity.

This was such a great experience in Edinburgh. We had a group ranging from ages 14 - 63. Johan made it very enjoyable for us. We were first picked up in the van. Some of us had to take a taxi due to our group being so large. In total, our bike ride was 21 miles. If you are not an experienced bike rider or do not exercise regularly, I would highly recommend renting the e-bikes. Most of us were beginner/intermediate, and having the e-bikes made the trip mildly challenging while also allowing us to enjoy all of the stops we made along the route. We had three more athletic people in our group use the manual bikes. They said it was enjoyable, but difficult. Picture a good workout :) I really enjoyed it and would recommend it for all levels of bike riders.

Our tour was outstanding, we did the bridges tour. Johann was an excellent guide, the bikes were top notch, and the scenery and commentary were brilliant. Highly recommended!!!!

This was our second tour with Johann and his Tartan Bicycle Company With the tour starting from the beautiful setting of Silverknowes beach, cycling alongside the Firth of Forth coast, before heading through the pretty village of Cramond, then on through the stunning landscape of the Dalmeny Estate, home to Dalmeny House and Barnbougle Castle. With just a short ride through Queensferry you are now in touching distance of the Firth of Forth Bridges and the sight is well worth the effort, although to be fair not much effort is required on the E-Bikes we used. Johann is very informative guide and with us being frequent visitors to Edinburgh I’m sure we’ll be checking out his tours in the future. Thanks Johann, Best Wishes Damian & Julienne

Johan made this experience absolutely easy, charmingly breathtaking. It was easy in that he conveniently picked us up at our hotel, he had all the equipment we needed for an easy and fun ride. The tour that was routed was an easy and relaxing ride through some interesting stops and beautiful countryside. This tour is a must for anyone who wants to really see and experience all that is great about Scotland.

I took my parents on The Bridges bike tour this July in Edinburgh. The ride was fantastic! Johann did a great job touring us along the waterfront and up to the bridges at the Firth of Forth. Stopped for a delicious sandwich and some coffee to fuel our return trip home. Scotland has lots of rolling hills and Johann takes plenty of breaks, but if you’re questioning your abilities opt for the E-Bike!

Brilliant tour whether a local or a tourist! Returning to hometown with family, Johann guided our family including a 12 and 15 year old. Great bikes. Excellent bridge tour relaxed and informative Johann was a perfect guide. Will return for a future tour! Highly recommended.
