With transport from Edinburgh, flexible timing, and route adjustments based on your group’s preferences, this is a relaxed and rewarding way to experience the Highlands by bike. Key Details Duration: 7 to 7.5 hours (allow 8 to 8.5 hours including pick-up/drop-off) Distance: 25 miles (40 km) Difficulty: Moderate Group size: Private groups only (1–20 people) Meeting point: Outside The Caledonian Hotel, 11 Rutland St, EH1 2AB What to Expect This private full-day tour begins with morning pickup from Edinburgh, followed by a scenic two-hour drive to the village of Aberfoyle in the Trossachs National Park. After a short refreshment break en route, the bikes are unloaded and the ride begins. You’ll cycle a carefully planned 25-mile route past Highland lochs and forested trails, stopping for views of Loch Ard and Loch Chon before reaching the quieter western shores of Loch Katrine. The ride is flexible—your guide will adjust pace, rest points and route to match your group’s needs. Around halfway, you’ll pause at Stronachlachar Pier for an optional brunch at the lochside café. After the break, the tour continues around Loch Katrine toward Trossachs Pier, passing wooded banks and open water with a mix of wildlife and local landmarks, including Walter Scott’s historic steamboat. The ride ends at Trossachs Pier, where there’s time to relax while your guide retrieves the van for the return journey to Edinburgh. Hybrid or e-bike hire is available, and helmets are always included. Location The entire ride takes place within the beautiful Trossachs National Park—a region often known as the “Gateway to the Highlands.” With quiet, rolling roads and uninterrupted views across lochs and wooded hills, the area offers the perfect setting for a full-day group ride. The tour starts in Aberfoyle and ends at Trossachs Pier, following a route that avoids main roads and showcases the best of the park’s natural beauty. Expect a mix of lochside paths, scenic climbs and forest sections, all far removed from city traffic. The start and finish points are linked by van transport, allowing for a continuous route rather than a loop. With private guiding, your group can take more or fewer breaks, choose to linger at key viewpoints, or move at a steadier pace if needed.
