Perfect way to see and learn about Inverness! - Can’t say enough good things about the tour. I loved that we were on trails most of the time. It was perfect way to get to see and learn about the city with just the right amount of hop-offs.

Lovely bike tour - A lovely bike ride around the rivers and canals of Inverness! Tour guide Allison was very knowledgeable and we had a great time. Pretty easy to cycle, very flat. Short stop at the botanical gardens.

Beautiful, scenic bike ride with an extremely knowledgeable guide. - Allison was so knowledgeable about the area. It was so enjoyable having a born Invernessian be our tour guide. The pace was just right and Allison was considerate of every level of bike rider. The areas you bike through are pretty level so it was an easy 2 hours of cycling. I would highly recommend this tour to all.

Horrible experience. Never again. - This was a very terrible experience for me. I can't understand why a tour guide would carry on describing beautiful scenery when an elderly woman was being dragged about next to us, by the hair and he was banging her head off the concrete slab. This was a terrible experience, and one I'll never forget.
