England

England & Scotland, what a treat!

What a charmy tour! Incredible landscapes (the Lake District was a great surprise to me), full of peaceful roads (often very few cars, but lots of sheep) and interesting contrast (a perfect mixture of countryside and tiny towns, open wide terrain and mountain hills, nature and culture, England and Scotland). Very grateful for the sunny weather (I am not anymore sure that it's true that in UK it rains a lot) and our fearless leaders Jago and Carolina, which went above and beyond. And to end up in splendid Edinburgh was the final touch. Well done!

We would do it again.

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

Cotswolds

Our guides, Jeremy and Lucy, went above and beyond to make our trip fun and pleasurable even on the rainy days. Accommodations were excellent. Food was great, bicycle equipment was like new. A very memorable trip of cycling the Cotswolds.

A great ride through beautiful country.

It was a beautiful trip, well paced with excellent guides. We were lucky with the weather so our photos are great. The Cotswolds did not disappoint with their charm; Oxford and Bath were educations in history.

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.

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.
