“Excellent tour of Edinburgh by a knowledgeable, experienced, friendly tour guide. Saw a lot of the city and some neighborhoods we wouldn't otherwise have known to go to, which was nice. Bikes were easy to ride. Most of tour was on paths/roads with no cars or minimal traffic. It was really nice to be picked up by the van (plus the option to finish the tour) at the hotel. Before signing up, we thought maybe 5 hours might be too much, but the time flew by, plus we got a good work-out! The kids (12 and 14yo) really enjoyed themselves, as well.”
