This is what makes our bike tours in Edinburgh so popular

In a small group, you will see all the beauty the Scottish capital has to offer on the Edinburgh bike tour. Many of the buildings have been there for many centuries. You will therefore learn a lot about the city’s rich history. Fans of movies like Braveheart will already know some parts of its history. On the Baja Bikes tour, you’ll really get familiar with the whole story. The infrastructure invites you to bike, it’s great relaxing on the two-wheeler.

Our guides are real insiders who can give you the best tips. This way you get the most out of your city trip! If you have questions you can also ask the guide. They are happy to give you information that you can use after the tour.

During the bike ride there will be plenty of time to take pictures and we will stop at the oldest pub in Scotland for a drink. Note: There are some elevation changes on the route from 5 to 9% incline. For people with lesser fitness it is therefore recommended to choose the e-bikes.

De gids Peter was een man met kennis van de omgeving. Hij heeft ons meegenomen in een rondje om Edinburgh met genodigde verhalen en info over Edinburgh. Lunch op de golfclub en later troffen wij hem nog in een bar die ons had aanbevolen. Een gezellige trip! Een e-bike is aan te raden! Bedankt Peter Namens pa met 3 zoons

Nice tour, not only the city but also the surroundings like a little beaytiful Village and a little bit of the mountains. Take a ebike! Not many places in the city like other tours in Europe what we did in the past.

We had a wonderful tour in Edinburgh with a fantastic guide! Enjoyed it very much 👌

Review Person

De reisleidster was erg enthousiast en vertelde erg leuk ! Compliment !! Het was wel een heel grote groep. 16 pers. waardoor je niet alle info mee kreeg. De prijs 60 euro ( incl ebike) is erg hoog.

Review Person

Warm welcome. Excellent e-bikes. Very well guided tour. Interesting stops.

Review Person

Leuke tour. Goede fietsen. Een elektrische fiets is wel een goed idee. De gids vertelde leuk en wist veel over de stad. Leuk om juist wat minder voor de hand liggende plekken te bezoeken. Goed georganiseerd met de gids voorop en een extra begeleider achterop. Aanrader !
