This 4 hour 45 minute tour covers 16 miles (25 km) between the highest and lowest points in Edinburgh accessible by tarmac. The tour begins with a transfer from the city centre on a custom bike bus operated by TBC to the starting location. Participants choose either a manual bike or a pedal assist e-bike, which provides extra help on uphill sections. The ride starts by visiting Arthur's Seat, an extinct volcano offering panoramic views over Edinburgh's skyline and sky. The route continues to Portobello Beach, where cyclists can see the Victorian promenade and sandy shore beside the sea. Next, the tour passes the Port of Leith, a historic maritime area with over 600 years of history. Riders then travel through Edinburgh's Georgian New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its grand townhouses and private parks. Additional stops include Holyrood Park, home to Holyrood Palace and the Scottish Parliament buildings; the Innocent Railway Tunnel, one of Scotland's oldest railway tunnels; and Edinburgh University with the nearby Old Royal Infirmary Hospital. The tour concludes near Waverley Station in central Edinburgh. Included are bottled water, helmets, gloves, rain jackets, a guide, and hotel pickup. Food, drinks, and gratuities are not included. The route involves two short to medium uphill climbs that can be walked if necessary. The tour suits leisure cyclists with moderate fitness. Children must be accompanied by an adult over 18. Minimum age is 12 for manual bikes and 16 for e-bikes. All cyclists' heights must be provided at booking. Participants must be comfortable riding a bicycle. The tour is subject to weather conditions; if canceled due to weather, an alternative date or refund will be offered.
