The complete circular cycle tour of Edinburgh

The complete circular cycle tour of Edinburgh

This is a cycle tour you won't find anywhere else. I shall take you where other tourists will not know about. There are other cycle tours in Edinburgh, but as this is a private tour, you will be able to go at your own pace, ask as many questions as you like and take numerous photos without pressure of being rushed. You will only be with your guide and your personal group. This tour requires you to be able to cycle for a maximum distance of 20 miles with regular stops and at a slow -steady pace. This tour is not suitable for under 12 years.
