Great trip, having ebikes made it work, the numerous climb segments would have been challenging for most of us.

We would do it again.

Beautiful scenery
This tour was very challenging for me, and I took some time off of the bike. Hattie and Mick were excellent guides and provided me with recommendations on the most difficult portions of the route so I could ride in the support van on the steepest longest grades. The Lake District rides were very beautiful. All the hotels were good.

Beautiful Trip in a Great Area!
This was a great trip! Loved riding on the small country roads without much traffic. My first time to ride an ebike really helped with my enjoyment of the trip. I wasn't tired at the end of the day. I wasn't able to train enough before the trip so the ebike made the trip fun! Guides Tony and Mick were knowledgeable and helpful. Loved finding out about the history of the area.

Cream Tea, Charming Gardens, Lovely Walks
My husband and I did this self-guided tour in early September and absolutely loved it. Country Walkers did an impeccable job taking care of every detail--booking hotels, moving our suitcases between hotels, and, best of all, the "route notes" book was so detailed and had everything we needed from step-by-step directions and restaurant suggestions to history and ideas for things to do. It felt like a wonderful adventure following the famous paths through sheep pastures and little forest thickets, past gardens and ancient churches, and climbing over or around all the different gates. It was often overcast and misty in the mornings, but the mid-day sun burned it all away. Our highlights are choosing to stop for an hour to check out the Hailes Abbey Museum and rubbing elbows with some locals at the only pub in a tiny village. So many great memories! We liked the intimate experience of doing a self-guided trip and the independence (without the planning!) that it provided. We spent some extra days in London at the end of our trip...that was just icing on the cake.

A Fantastic Trip
What a fantastic trip this was. This was my 6th time going to England, but my first for the Cotswold region and what an extraordinary time it was. The food was fantastic, everywhere you looked the views were spectacular. It was fantastic trip which I would do again in a heart beat.
