Poole e-bike tour to Old Harry Rocks and Corfe Castle, with off-road riding, a included picnic or pub lunch, and easy guided navigation.

“Peter was an incredible guide and he and Michelle were so kind and treated my wife and I like family. We spent 2 weeks in Europe and this was the best tour we did, by far. The scenery on the bikes, particularly on the Cliffs overlooking the sea was amazing. I took so many pictures. I didn't realize the beauty of the UK coast lines. This tour and this couple are doing exactly what they should be. If you want a perfect tour, this is it. A true lifetime highlight.”
