Two hours in the company of Graham as he led a group of us on a bike tour of the town was well worth it.
Graham was very informative and took us to corners of the town we would never have visited.
Highly recommend this tour.

Brilliant experience on two wheels around Berwick.
I hadn’t read the information properly, so my wife and I turned up bikeless, as you are expected to use your own bike; however we were able to hire bikes at a very reasonable cost for the tour.
Our guide Graham who was full of local knowledge that he imparted in a very informative and interesting way and took us to places that you would not normally see in Berwick Upon Tweed and accompanied by the history of the places we visited.
I would thoroughly recommend this tour as its a brilliant way of seeing such a very historical and important town.
Well done Graham - great tour 5 stars.
