An excellent day spent exploring such a beautiful area! Alasdair was such a kind & humorous person & felt like a friend by the end. The tour started around 10:00am and ended around 5:45pm so it was a full day of e-bike riding and totally worth it! I loved the stops at the 700 year old pub and the lunch spot. I am so glad we booked this e-bike tour and I highly recommend it!

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Hi Erika, Thanks for leaving such a great recommendation. Sincerely, Alasdair

Beautiful country ride

steven_r, Jun 2024

I would suggest a few things. The roads are a bit rough so wear bike pants if you have them. You should be a decent rider for this tour. While Mike was all about safety, this is not for somebody who is not confident on a bike . Overall enjoyable. The bikes were great and the electric assist was needed for some of the hills . Not easy to get to Hans borough by train so give yourself time .

Hi Steve, Thanks for the recommendation review and the feedback to share with other prospective future clients. Sincerely, Alasdair

Best tour of the Cotswolds!!

jennifersaylin, Oct 2023

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.

Hi Jennifer, Thanks for the recommendation!

Best way to see Cotswolds

john_c, May 2023

Had a blast. 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!

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi John, Thanks for recommending your Cotswolds bike tour experience with me, despite the 4 seasons in a day British weather! Best regards. Alasdair

A fabulous cycle tour

A_S, Apr 2023

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.

Response from Host, May 2023

Hi Annie. Thanks for recommending your Cotswolds electric bike tour with us here led by Laura. Sincerely, Alasdair Cotswolds Bike Tours

Great day bike riding in The Cotswolds

tanyambarber, Aug 2022

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. Tanya and Emma (Sydney, Australia)

Response from Host, May 2024

Hi. Note sure how I missed seeing your review earlier but thanks for choosing the tour. Sincerely/, Alasdair

Electric bikes are a fun way to see the pretty villages and countryside in the Cotswolds.

Claudia_C, Apr 2022

We had a great time on the Cotswolds Electric Bike Tour. Alasdair went out of his way to make sure he had the right size bike for me (I’m 5 ‘ 1”) and had everything smoothly planned. He was a great tour guide and the electric bikes made it super easy and fun. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys seeing the sites and getting some exercise.
