Usually these tours are booked by single private groups but if more than two groups choose to book the same date, there may be up to total 5 persons on this tour.
This tour is delivered only by myself, Alasdair de Voil, the business owner of Visit Oxford Tours. However, for insurance purposes, these tours are actually booked to be conducted privately via myself as a self employed sole trader offering you a personal service. They are not delivered as a product delivered by Visit Oxford Tours Ltd. This legal distinction will be reconfirmed in writing whenever any booking is received.
Default itinerary is 10am to 5pm.
The Cotswolds is a scenic part of England located only 20 minutes by train from Oxford or only 70 minutes from London. It's my pleasure to share these sights & heritage with you on an active cycling tour.
Participants must be fit and aged 14+ as the Cotswolds roads are lots of up and down cycling but the scenery plus the villages here are beautiful.
