What are guided bike tours?

Guided bike tours are organised outings where the group follows a set route with a guide.

The guide keeps you on track, fills in the local detail and lends a hand along the way.

These trips put cycling and seeing the local sights together.

They suit people who would rather not have to plan the route themselves.
