    Cycling Holidays in Scotland

    Years of knowledge and research means we’ve found the quietest roads and most comfortable, cycle-friendly hospitality; the hallmarks of Wilderness Scotland bike tours. Choose from a range of point to point guided road cycling holidays like the Coast to Coast, Outer Hebrides and North Coast 500. Our on-the-road approach to cycle tours balances great guiding and insights, alongside super snacks and the freedom to explore at your own pace.

    What Makes Our Bike Tours Special

    Wilderness Scotland cycling holidays are a rich way to explore the country’s scenery, landscape, culture, and history.

    The majority of our bike tours are point-to-point, meaning that you can challenge yourself with getting from A to B by pedalling each mile as part of a friendly group.

    We’ll Sweat the Details

    All our trips are led by a qualified and experienced guide but you also receive detailed route notes for each day’s ride. You can choose to cycle Scotland with your guide or simply follow the route notes, meeting up with the group at designated stops along the way.

    Throughout the day, our support vehicle will always be close to hand to provide drinks, snacks and a friendly ride should you need it. It also transfers your luggage between hotels, gearing you up for a lightweight and carefree ride.

    One of the most rewarding aspects of our cycling holidays is the places we choose for dinner each night. We package everything so you don’t need to worry about the details, except, of course, what you order from the menu. We’ve selected independent hotels and fantastic eateries, so you’ll be well-fuelled for the next day in the bike saddle.

    Trip Planning and Customer Support

    We deliver expertly crafted cycling trips in the most beautiful regions of Scotland. Handling far more than just the logistics, we organise your cycling adventure in its entirety, so you don’t need to worry about a thing. Joined by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic cycling guide, enjoy the freedom of exploring on two wheels without worrying about directions, meals, snack stops, mechanicals or accommodation.

    Our expert teams know our historic and diverse landscapes better than anyone, so we deliver an incredible range of world-class cycling trips to suit every ability. If you’re looking for a little extra boost, you can hire an e-bike for any of our road-cycling holidays or choose a dedicated e-bike itinerary. Crafted by our expert team of trip designers, our cycling trips are built on a foundation of deep personal experience and enhanced and delivered by our passionate guides. Whether you’re a first-time visitor to our heathery hills or a returning traveller, we would be delighted to welcome you to Scotland and into the saddle.

    Bring Your Own Bike

    You are also more than welcome to bring your own bike. If you’re bringing your E-bike along for the trip, please ensure it has a removable battery. Due to limitations around charging, E-bikes with non-removable batteries cannot be accommodated.

    If you choose to do so, please ensure it’s in excellent working condition and has been recently serviced – either by you or by a reputable bike shop.

    In addition, please bring the following:

    • Multi-tool, including a chain tool
    • Mini pump and/or CO2 canisters
    • Two spare tubes and a puncture repair kit

    Because we will need to load your bike onto one of our trailers, please ensure that:

    • Your rear wheel is clear of any obstructions; including lights, mudguard or panniers
    • Your tyres are no wider than 45mm

    Due to the nature of our trips, we are unfortunately unable to carry bike boxes or bags with us, so please make prior arrangements if necessary.

    If you have any questions at all, don’t hesitate to get in touch. Our friendly and knowledgeable sales team are always delighted to answer any queries you may have.

    Every client receives a feedback survey when they return from their guided, self guided or tailor made holiday with us. Once completed the review is published on our website just as soon as our database updates. The little touches and details are important to us and where issues are raised we make positive changes to our trips to improve your experience.

    That’s why we read each of our client’s reviews and although we don’t respond to all of them, if it’s glowing feedback then we get the satisfaction of helping to make your holidays truly memorable.
