Took the “Magnificent Cotswolds” cycling day trip, 18-mile “leisurely” ride (less hills) and was not disappointed. Great way to see some lovely villages and countryside and get a good workout! Good communication with the company prior to the ride. Meeting point is Moreton-in-Marsh train station so it’s easy to do by bus, train, or car–as a day trip from other UK cities or other Cotswolds locations. Bikes and equipment were new and well-maintained. Our guide Mike provided good info about the locations we visited. Would recommend if you have a reasonable level of fitness and want to see some less-visited Cotswolds sites.
One of my favorite days of a 10 day long European vacation! A super easy train trip from Paddington Station and met at the Moreton-in-Marsh train station by Mike. There we had a very thorough description of our itinerary and safety instructions. The bikes looked brand new and were very comfy! Mike was very friendly and informative of local points of interest. I would recommend this trip to anyone. We did the “flat” ride which would be no problem for anyone regardless of their fitness level! Do yourself a favor and include this on your next visit to London! Such beautiful countryside! Thanks Jamie and Mike!
A very easy train ride from Paddington. Mike was our bike tour guide and he was wonderful. My girlfriend and I were so impressed with the tour, guide, bikes and their hospitality! I would love to go back one day and I would definitely look to Cotswolds Adventures to be part of it!
We had a fantastic bike ride with Cotswolds Adventures. Mike was an amazing tour guide, super friendly, very open to letting us stop and take photos, and respectful of letting us have our own time (as we were just two on the tour!). Highly recommend!
Our wonderful guide, Mike, took us on a bicycle tour of multiple Cotswolds villages. The ride was approximately 20 miles. We stopped at a lovely pub for lunch (amazing food and drinks). The weather was perfect and Mike (a local) was a great guide. This tour was one of favorite days during our 7 week visit to London (possibly even topping our visit to Highclere Castle). We rode past a manor home and church where Jane Austen had stayed and worshipped and also visited a 12th (or maybe 11th) century church and graveyard tucked inside the woods. I recommend this tour to everyone interested in an alternate way to tour and learn about the beautiful Cotswolds region. We met Mike at the Moreton-in-Marsh train station to begin and end our Journey. Thank you Mike and Cotswolds Aventures!
