Cecil was amazing! - Having read and heard so many fabulous reports of York Cycle Tours, we finally managed to book a tour to celebrate a family gathering in York. It was stunning! Cecil was a most generous, informed and witty guide. The tour was also incredibly well planned, taking us on safe cycle paths to some of the most scenic and historic parts of this beautiful city. We learned so much and, thanks to our brilliant guide, we laughed lots too. I would highly recommend York Cycle Tours for any moderately able- bodied visitor (we ranged in age from mid 70s to mid 20s!). It was so much more fun than sitting in a tour bus. Thank you Cecil for an amazing day out!

Highly recommend!! - Biking an absolutely perfect way to see very bike-friendly York, which is not too big. Our guide Cecil could not have been more pleasant or full of stories to tell about this chocolate capital. Was a gorgeous day, to boot! The ride lasted a little over 2 and 1/2 hours. So fun!

Excellent morning. - As a family of 6 we booked our tour the day before. It was really easy to book and to find and Cecil was waiting for us. He fitted our bikes and offered helmets and off we went. We spent an amazing few hours meandering around York with Cecil guiding us and answering our questions: we’ve been to York before but we got to see areas that were off the beaten track. You don’t need to be a serious cyclist as such, this tour is suitable for anyone who can cycle. We had a brilliant morning: highly recommended as a way to see a different side to this amazing city. Cheers Cecil. The Americans and the Brits.
