★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 427 reviews · 4 hours 45 minutes (approx.) · from $103Our pick

Review of Edinburgh’s Sky to Sea bike tour, with e-bike option, hotel pickup, Arthur’s Seat, Portobello, Leith, and practical tips.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 241 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $87

Ride beyond Edinburgh’s center by e-bike or bicycle, from Union Canal and Arthur’s Seat to Portobello Beach and Leith.

“This tour is an excellent way to see Edinburgh and Leith. Even with an e-bike, it’s a strenuous ride. You must be able to navigate traffic and hills. Ricky, our guide, was very focused on keeping us safe and informed. He truly established our trust! And his co-captain, Lucy, is a precious puppy! We loved this tour and recommend it for adventure seeking travelers! - Jessica and Tad”
