    Lochs Bens and Glens We had a great time doing the “Over The Hill” e-bike tour with Fiona and Lance. We are keen if limited bike riders and due to my wife’s increasing mobility issues we know the time may have come to swap to the assistance provided by e-bikes. With this in mind this tour offered us the chance to give this type of bike a thorough test while enjoying the incredible scenery this part of the Cowal peninsula has to offer. The route takes in the Holy Lock, Glen Masson, Benmore, Coylet and Loch Eck, Glen Finnart Mountain Pass then back along Loch Long through Ardentinny, Blairmore and Kilmun. In total it was a 27 mile ride which we could never have done on our normal bikes. Fiona’s local knowledge added greatly to the day and having Lance keep a careful watch on the road, traffic and bikes made us feel extra safe. It was a great experience and I strongly recommend taking part in any of the tours that this couple offer, you won’t regret it.

    The Lochs, Bens, and Glens Tour was one of our Scottish Holiday highlights!! as avid bikers, we wondered what it would be like to ride an E bike, something neither of us had ever done. But it was very quick to adjust to, and it would definitely level the playing field and allow anyone to ride a bike so that no one in your group would be left behind. We felt safe on the main roads and on the “off” roads. Fiona and Lance are knowledgeable and fun to spend time with. We did the add on hike overlooking Loch Eck, and it was stunningly beautiful! A+++++ activity for your trip to Dunoon, Scotland!!

    My wife and I did a little over 2 hour tour with a stop at a local cafe bringing it closer to 3 hours. As a long time bike rider, I was skeptical about riding an e-bike. This was my first time and it was much more fun than I expected it to be. Anyone who's ridden a bike before will quickly adjust. The e-bike really levels things out so that people of different fitness levels can all ride together. Which is something my wife and I would struggle with on regular bikes. The bike has 4 different settings to adjust the assist level. I kept it on the lowest level until we hit a big climb. Something that would be really challenging on a regular bike became laughably easy and turned it into a really fun experience when you upped the assist level. We toured up the East side of Lock Eck over the mountain pass towards Ardentinny and back down the West side of Holy Loch. Stopping along the way at various points of interest so that Fiona could share her wealth of knowledge of the area. Fiona and Lance do an excellent job of getting you comfortable on the bike before you set off but also keeping you feeling safe when you're out on the tour. Their fun, outgoing personalities make the whole experience really enjoyable. We will be back!

    Fantastic e-bike tour through Dunoon, Scotland. The couple that operates this startup are the perfect hosts. They know the ins and outs of the area, best views, and you are confident in their knowledge of biking safety. The e-bike was so easy to use with just a few minutes orientation. You can adjust the power of the bike as needed. You feel you are in very competent hands, and can just enjoy the ride! I highly recommend the two hour tour, which is what I took. Unforgettable! ❤️
