Nothing was too much trouble for John Upton, our leader on this heritage railway cycling weekend. From organising accommodation to taking us out for meals, and of course navigating us on the bike ride... See more

A wonderful experience
A wonderful experience. Greg and Chris were excellent guides, and the trip was perfectly designed in every detail. Breathtaking scenery, a cohesive group, excellent choice of accommodations and meals. Interesting guided visits added variety to the journey. An unforgettable experience.
Orkney tour
My third Martin [Jamieson] + Diane Bikexplore tour in as many years. Excellent as ever; everything organised (including most of the weather), but with a "light touch" when appropriate.
We’ve just returned from another…
We’ve just returned from another Bikexplore trip (our second this year). Under the impeccable organisation of Martin Jamieson we have been to Orkney. Excellent communication about the holiday, comprehensive and accurate gpx routes provided, well thought out routes to see the major sites, but with shorter days included for a rest if that was needed. Can’t praise them highly enough
Albania & Outer Hebrides
I have now done 2 tours with this company, one in the Outer Hebrides 2 years ago and, more recently, a tour of Southern Albania. Both tours were very well organised and would appeal to both keen cyclists and the fit leisure cyclist. There were lots of like-minded travellers on both tours and the organisation of the trip and the leaders were excellent. The tours offered great value for money and included accommodation, luggage transfers (but not offered for all tours listed with Bikexplore), most meals & gpx files of the route. I took my own bike to Scotland but hired an e-bike in Albania. I really enjoyed both trips and will definitely book with this company again.
Isle of Man
We arrived in Douglas by train then ferry and checked into our hotel which went smoothly. Isle of Man has lots to offer and it was a well organised tour by our tour leader, John. Our group consisted of cyclists using road, MTB, Gravel and electric bikes.
Isle of Man Tour
Well organised and suitable for a range of cyclists. John, our leader, had researched all of the routes thoroughly and was able to make sure we were all looked after. As I was the slowest rider he made sure that I had lots of support. It was a great trip and we all thoroughly enjoyed it.
Lanzarote
Great to meet and cycle with like-minded people on rides which were challenging but not overly.
Rented carbon road bikes were excellent quality and it was a treat to be able to cycle without panniers. Accommodation was very comfortable and well equipped in a perfect central and mid-height location on the island, which ideally suited a cycling holiday.
Lanzarote is a lovely island with plenty to see. It's got a temperate climate and decent roads and a week is the perfect length of time to explore. Highly recommend.
