WHAT GUESTS HAVE SAID ABOUT US
FAQs for our
bike tour
Here, we’ve compiled a list of answers to some of the most common questions our visitors ask. If you can’t find the answer you’re looking for, please don’t hesitate to contact us for assistance.
-
What age do I have to be to come on this tour?
You must be a minimum of 14 years old to ride an electric bike in this country and therefore 14 is the minimum age you can be to come on this tour.
-
Can I cancel my booking and get a refund?
Yes, so long as you cancel up until a week in advance you will receive a full refund. If you cancel between a week and 48 hours before the tour is due to start you will receive a 50% refund. No refund will be granted for cancellations within 48 hours of the booked tour. (Execeptions may be considered in extreme circumstances).
-
Can we still use the bikes in poor weather?
For the most part yes. The bikes can be used in light to moderate rain conditions. However, unfortunately the bikes are not suitable to use in heavy rain and/or very windy conditions. We will do our best to get out on the bikes at every opportunity. In the event of very poor weather conditions, we will conduct the tour by bus and follow the same itinerary.
-
Is there a lot of traffic where we will be cycling?
Birsay (the tour location) is certainly one of the quieter areas on the Orkney mainland. Although this is in the middle of a farming community, traffic is much quieter here than elsewhere, but you must show consideration with regards to passing traffic on single lane roads as it may require coming to a stop on the bike to allow them to pass. There is no need to worry about this though as tour guide Daniel will make this all clear in the briefing and instruct when the group must stop for the traffic.
