Mike Cooper's Bio

​

I was born in the 'City of Dreaming Spires', aka Oxford, but have lived in the Cotswolds all my life. I have travelled extensively, including cycling in over 20 countries but always returning to my spiritual home the Cotswold, the largest Natural Landscape in the UK.

​

This deep connection to the landscape gives me a unique perspective that I love sharing with others. The rolling hills, honey-stone villages, and ancient trails are more than just scenery; they’re part of my story, and I take pride in showing them to visitors in a way that feels personal, not commercial.

​

I have been guiding visitors from all around the world in the North Cotswolds for 15 years, taking them in some cases to 'little gems in the area where the touring buses do not venture. I will introduce you to the area, a little bit of history, its people and its charmand all from your superbly engineered E-Bike. It will be a leisurely ride at your pace with frequent stops for 'chats' and photo's and invariably a lunch stop at an award winning public house or Inn.

​

Over the years, I’ve welcomed guests from every corner of the globe, each one discovering something special and unexpected on their journey. Whether it's a hidden hamlet with centuries-old cottages or a tucked-away trail that opens up to sweeping views, the aim is always the same, to offer a truly memorable experience that goes beyond the ordinary.

​

It will be your tour not mine, I live here. I want you to feel like a local, even if only for a few hours, and leave with stories you’ll tell for years to come.

​

All tours are private, customised, and personalised. We recommend the best routes to cover and places to visit but overall it is your choice where you would like to see. Tours are approximately 6 hours long (from 10am to 4pm) but can be longer or shorter.
