Tour of the Borders

This trip features some of the best small hotels and food along the route we travel, all hand-picked by us. Accommodation is in a choice of double or twin rooms with ensuite facilities.

Single rooms

There is no supplement charged to solo travellers, however, you will be required to share a room with another person of the same sex. If you request a double room for single occupancy, a supplement of £445 is charged.

Due to the nature of the accommodations we use, single supplements are limited and are allocated on a first come first served basis.

This is an ‘All Inclusive’ trip. Breakfast will be provided each day at your accommodation and lunch will be either a picnic along the route or at a local cafe. Drinks and snacks are provided throughout the day as you require. Evening meals are also included throughout, included dinners are two courses as standard. Special dietary requirements are of course catered for.

On this trip, we generally eat dinner as a group however if you would like to make alternative arrangements you are free to do so. Your guides will have an evening off during this trip where they do not eat with the group. They will recommend options for dinner that evening and will help you make any necessary reservations.

Blue Graded 4-6

Blue graded trips are suitable for people with a good level of bike fitness, who regularly enjoy cycling and may have joined a multi-day cycle holiday before.

Distances each day will be between 35 – 45 miles, cycling at around 12/13mph. Each day will be rolling and hilly terrain and there will be notable climbs most days. Some of these will be more testing and some riders may opt to push or ride in the support vehicle. Some climbs are also followed by exciting descents. We will be in the saddle for 5 – 7 hours each day plus the odd longer day. There is also time each day for breaks and lunches, plus some visits to sites of interest.

Your Guide will meet you at Edinburgh Park Railway Station at 11.00am on Day 1 of your trip.

You will be returned to Edinburgh Park Railway Station at 1:00pm on the final day of your trip.
