England

Self-Guided tour with my friend, it was amazing, Ride-with-GPS was perfect, did not get lost anywhere. Ride Inn to Inn, picturesque villages, stone houses, just like Downtown Abbey. Felt very safe every day, Pubs and food were delicious. We had no problem with our bikes, it was a perfect trip! Note there was no leaders on this Self-Guided tour but the VBT local host that set up our bikes and make sure our luggage was delivered at every Inn was great, very helpful and friendly.

We have been on many VBT group tours. We chose this May 2022 independent tour because of concerns for Covid exposure. We wore masks in crowds, are in non crowded restaurants, did take away for lunches and did not get Covid As for the tour VBT tour guide was awesome getting us off in Oxford. They also met us our first night on the tour and got us off for day 2. The ride was bucolic with many rolling and not so rolling hills. The suggested sites to see were perfect. The roads are VERY narrow with two way light traffic. Watch those curves as there will be oncoming traffic. We got 2 flats. Be sure to ask for 2 co2 carriages The hand air pump takes FOREVER. Book the Roman bath tour and Pump Room high tea in advance. We left Tetsbury at 8 am and we’re able to make a 12:30 time to see the Roman baths. Our only complaint was difficulty replacing the inner tubes and retrieving our bike pedals at the end of the tour. We got 3/4 pedals with one needing to be mailed to us.

Perfect weather, unbelievable routes, and top of the line guides. Couldn’t recommend enough.

Beautiful scenery, charming villages, local lodging, hilly rural roads, quintessential Cotswold .
