Cycle To Loch Ness - Self Guided - Ness Islands: A Quiet Start Across the River Ness

1.Cycle To Loch Ness – Self Guided

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 119 reviews · 1 day (approx.) · from $76Our pick

Self-guided bike ride from Inverness to Loch Ness via Ness Islands and the Caledonian Canal, with bike hire, helmet, and maps.

“We really enjoyed being able to cycle to Loch Ness! We got to see a lot of the countryside on the way. Just be prepared. It’s a lot of uphill on the way there. We rode into Dohrn and sat at the beach. There’s an adorable little coffee trailer across the street. I would highly recommend riding bikes. You can take your time and see more of the area. Make sure you use your map as we got turned around a bit on the way back.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 42 reviews · 40 minutes to 1 hour (approx.) · from $11

Follow Harry Potter links across Edinburgh on a VoiceMap self-guided audio walk with offline access and lifetime replay for 11.99.

“We did everything we were supposed to do, but only 1 of the guides purchased actually downloaded, we waited over 3 hours in hopes that the other would download with no luck so we had to share. While walking around it was very finicky with the location, and wouldn’t allow you to play any audio unless you were right on the spot. Overall, the technical issues far outweighed the actual content of the tour and I’d never purchase another audio tour through this company.”

“This tour should definitely be updated as there are lots of construction sites through out the walk. Furthermore, some of the walk will guide you though not so nice parts of the city that seem unnecessary. The starting point is hard to see through construction and I wish we would get more background knowledge of the sites we pass.”
