Cycling Tour Questionnaire

Thank you for your interest in booking one of our cycling tours in the beautiful Cotswolds!

We are delighted to have you join us and are committed to making sure you have the best possible experience. To help us tailor the tour to your needs and ensure it’s the perfect fit for you, we’d like to ask a few questions about your cycling experience, fitness level, and preferences. Our goal is to provide you with an enjoyable and memorable cycling adventure, whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or new to bike tours.

The Cotswolds offers picturesque scenery, quiet country roads, and rolling hills, which can make for a truly unique experience. However, it’s important to know that the region is hilly, and the routes will involve cycling on roads with traffic, so it's essential that we match your fitness level and bike type to the tour requirements. If you're renting a hybrid or electric bike, we want to make sure you’re familiar with your chosen bike type and are comfortable with the terrain.

Please take your time to answer the questions below. Your responses will help us ensure the tour is both enjoyable and safe for you!
