The 7 Best Bike Tours in Edinburgh

7 tours  ·  from $53

The Old Town is cobbles and gradients; the good riding is the canal, the Innocent Railway and the coast at Portobello. These 7 compare the routes, the hills and whether an e-bike is included, which on this terrain is the question that matters.

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 38 reviews · 2 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $52Best value

Ride an electric bike through Edinburgh with a group of no more than 10. Guides such as Alex, Mike, Jack, and Pascual lead you from Leith to Arthur’s Seat, the Old Town, New Town, Dean Village, and the Water of Leith, with enough help for the city’s hills.

“As a Scot who knows Edinburgh well, I took my partner from New Zealand on this tour to show her the best parts of Edinburgh and it did not disappoint. Great tour guide who knows Edinburgh very well and fantastic bikes that make cycling all over the city much easier. Lots of time to stop and take photos while asking all the questions about this magnificent city!”
