Just great. Really enjoyed this cycle tour. We saw places we would have missed on our visit to Edinburgh. Turlough was an entertaining and informative guide. The instructions were clear and given in a friendly way, He is a natural story teller , and we learned a great deal along the way. This was a fun tour and I would highly recommend this cycle tour.

Turlough was an excellent guide and lots of fun. Great stories were told, some were true! The weather cooperated and the rain was falling mostly straight down during the first part of the tour followed by sunshine. A great way to see part of Edinburgh not on most tours.

I'd recommend everyone goin to Edinburgh to take this tour.. You can cycle to beautiful places, get to know some stories about the city, and there's time to take a lot of pictures, specially at the Holyrood Park.. and the best thing is that you can go to more places and faster than a walling tour. Oh, and I did it without the Electric bike, and I thing it is not so heavy the cycle on the mountain... But if you're not used to cycle, maybe you should upgrade to the eletric bike just in case.
