OVERVIEW
Discover Edinburgh like never before with this exciting e-bike tour, a perfect way to discover the historic capital of Scotland. A city notorious for its volcanic peaks and glacial valleys, our E-Bike Tour is the ideal way to effortlessly explore this city built on hills.
Our tour is delivered by experienced local guides who will show you some of the most iconic spots of the city, and take you off the beaten path- to explore the most picturesque corners and engage with the local culture and history. We will also cycle through the amazing green spaces Edinburgh has to offer to locals and visitors alike.
ITINERARY
We begin in the historical port district of Leith, cycling gently up Leith Walk, one of the longest streets in the city. Next we pass the green park London Road Gardens leading to our first stop at the regal Holyrood Palace and the striking architecture of the Scottish Parliament.
From here, the e-bikes make light work of the incline up to Arthur’s Seat. There’s plenty of time to take in the panoramic views before a peaceful descent. We then will cross Waverly Bridge which connects the Old and New Towns, spanning over Waverly Station and offers a stunning view of the Old Town. From here gently cycling through the original Neo-classical and Georgian architecture of the New Town, a UNESCO hertage site since 1995.
Next, we will drift down to one of the most beautiful hidden gems of the city, Dean Village before cycling down The tranquil Water of Leith. Our cycle will end in the picturesque old harbour of Leith, The Shore before we finally drift back to our starting point. Along the way, enjoy the ease and comfort of your e-bike as you immerse yourself in Edinburgh’s rich history, vibrant culture, and breathtaking scenery.
