Cycling adventures in the Highlands

Join us at Highland Bike Tours...

What our guests say

We had a great time on a private tour. The bikes were excellent and Terry was able to customize the tour to what we wanted. Highly recommend booking this tour.

Morgan Elk

Had a great tour around Perth. Great cycling and learned a lot about the landscape (and also whiskies). Of course, it is also an added bonus that you can do this tour in Dutch. Terry speaks perfect Dutch as a Scot and can also tell a nice story. Recommended!

Pim Bleeker

Loved our day with Highland Bike Tours! Equipment was in great shape (helmets, vests, and bikes). I learned and saw things I would not have been able to see by car or if I had biked on my own.

Amelia

Fantastic tour!
Bikes were in very good condition, adjusted for us individually. Tour tailored to us and our capabilities as over 60 now! Terry has fantastic local knowledge of hard to find views and points of local interest.
Thoroughly recommend to all.

Steve Harmer

My wife, my daughter who is 11 and I went on the tour and all enjoyed it. We travelled around 20 miles around some beautiful countryside, the e-bikes were very good and great when going uphill. Would recommend for anyone to give a go. Good fun!

Jim Simpson

Highland Bike Tours was a highlight of our trip! Terry was great. Really appreciate all the communication before our travels and even though it was rainy, we all had a great time and we learned a lot about the area.. Would recommend this adventure to anyone who wants a unique, fun way to experience Scotland.

Kyra Lindsay

Made a very nice bike ride (65 kilometers) from Perth. Beautiful vistas and landscapes during the entire tour. Excellent e-bikes with panniers. Even the rain ponchos were provided.

Mirjam Hansen

Erg leuke fietstour met veel kilometers waardoor je heel veel mooie natuur ziet. Zowel een sportief als educatief uitje. Ik kan nu zeggen dat ik Pitlochry en de omgeving echt heb ervaren.

Julia Herni (NL)

What a great time! Terry took us through the most beautiful areas of the Highlands and was great fun to talk to. If we had more time, we would have done the all day tour. Don’t miss this ride!

Cindy Gigliotti

The Highland Bike Tour around Perthshire was excellent.. The e-bikes are top-notch, very comfortable with plenty of battery left at the end of the full day tour! We felt very safe throughout the tour and enjoyed the forest scenery.

Jan Mei Soon

My family (parents and two 15 year old kids) toured with Terry in early July 2024 through the countryside around Perth to Dunkeld. We are from Australia so the landscape was novel and breathtaking to us. We covered around 80 km over the whole day with ease.. Communication with Highland Bike Tours prior to the day trip was excellent.. One of our highlights while in Scotland.

Stuart McDougall

I had the pleasure of joining a e-bike tour in Perth and I must say it was an absolute delight from start to finish.. The route itself was simply breath taking, taking us through a varied landscape of parks, towns, villages, mountains and rivers. It is a must-do activity for anyone visiting Perth, as it provides a fantastic way to explore the region's natural beauty and rich history while in the company of a truly wonderful guide.
