Half Day Tour- Standard bike
FROM THE CITY TO THE SHORE OF LEITH
Duration: 2.5/3 hours
It’s a tour from Edinburgh city centre to the sea, between attractions, breathtaking views, nature and fun.
Our bicycle guided city tour starts through the city centre, pedaling from Harrison Park to Leith, through the city and its superb network of bike paths, following the course of the city’s Union Canal, experiencing the typical Scottish rural landscape.
The experience also includes a quick stop in a nice and warm cafe in Leith or Portobello, depending on which way we choose to reach the seaside. From there, it’s time to head back to town and complete our loop.
They are willing to bet you will find many stunning secret spots you’ve never heard of! Their mission is to inspire people to explore Scotland, ride and discover its beautiful nature by bike.
