This guided cycling tour offers an unforgettable way to experience the incredible contrasts and charm of Edinburgh. Over the course of a relaxed few hours, you’ll explore the city’s diverse landscapes — from bustling historic streets to peaceful green parks and scenic coastlines — all from the comfort of your bike. The adventure begins from our office, heading west along a designated cycle path that soon opens into the elegant New Town, part of Edinburgh’s UNESCO World Heritage Site. After a gentle but steady climb through picturesque residential streets, you’ll reach the city centre near Princes Street, where stunning views of Edinburgh Castle and Princes Street Gardens await. From there, the route takes you down the lower stretch of the Royal Mile, passing by Holyrood Palace and the striking Scottish Parliament building, while immersing you in the city’s deep history and cultural legacy.
The journey continues as the urban energy gives way to the natural beauty of Holyrood Park, with its sweeping views and the iconic Arthur’s Seat rising above the landscape. You’ll then follow a tranquil cycle path built along a disused railway line, leading down toward the coast. The final stretch of the ride takes you along the breezy Portobello Promenade, offering a taste of Edinburgh’s seaside charm, before returning to Leith. This tour perfectly combines the city’s architectural splendor, historical landmarks, and natural beauty — the ultimate way to see Scotland’s capital from a truly unique perspective.
