# 'A Wee Pedal's' Award-Winning Circular Cycle Tour of Edinburgh!

**Guidekin's take:** Circle Edinburgh on a mostly off-road cycling route that starts directly on a cycle path. A manual bike, helmet and guide are included, with gloves in winter; confident cycling and moderate fitness are required, and an e-bike costs extra if arranged ahead. 5 from 92 reviews at €105 per person for 4h 30m.

## Overview

Why book with A wee pedal? We are 2026 Visit Scotland's award winning 'Best outdoor experience' praised for high quality guest experience whilst supporting the local community. This cycle tour is unique; a 20 mile carefully planned route, mostly off road, seeing the Edinburgh most visitors miss. We have no need to use vehicles as we start right on the cycle path and are proudly named a zero-carbon company. Groups are kept small for high guest experience and safety and you'll learn about this ancient city whilst having a lot of fun with our qualified and experienced guides. You will start right in the heart of Craigmillar Castle grounds, close to the city centre and easily accessed by foot, bus, taxi or car (there is free on-site parking) E-bikes can be hired at an additional cost of £25pp cash on the day. Please let me know if you would like this option. (If you think you would prefer a shorter tour, please check out our 'family-friendly cycle tour to the coast' 12 miles, 3 hours)
