We really enjoyed this cycle tour. Our guide Laura was very kind and looked after us very well. The e-bikes were good quality and well maintained and were very welcome on the hilly roads of the Cotswolds! We’d definitely recommend this tour to others.

My husband and I have travelled the world and this was definitely one of the top most wonderful experiences we have had! The tour guide was fantastic. The electric bikes worked great and were the best way to see the Cotswolds hands down. It was just our group of two couples and our guide. He was so knowledgeable and really let us take our time in the places we wanted to spend time. The pub we ate at for lunch was so delicious and in the most picturesque place. The whole 8 hours we couldn’t believe how beautiful it was!! Definitely take this tour! We will never forget it.My daughter (21) and I (50) loved our day riding with Alasdair in The Cotswolds.

My daughter (21) and I (50) loved our day riding with Alasdair in The Cotswolds. Alasdair was a great tour host sharing his vast knowledge of local history whilst making the day lots of fun. The six hours riding electric bikes meant we were able to cover ground and see many sites. The country side was breathtaking. Really enjoyed our cafe lunch and short stop at an old pub on the way home. Highly recommended for those that like bike riding and love a day in the country.

The bikes are in great shape and make it easy, the best way to see the Cotswolds as you see so much more than a car. Plus the ability to stop and check out a pub or village church made it fantastic. Great information and fun time! A must do!
