“This was our 5th bike trip and by all measures, the best. Denmark and Sweden are beautiful this time of year with everything blooming. We can’t say enough about the boat’s crew and our guides. The food was a 5 star experience at every meal! Biking was a dream as well, with perfectly paved bike paths well away from car traffic. While there was some elevation change, our e-bikes made for easy and enjoyable rides. During the week we made numerous stops at palaces, forts and several beautiful cathedrals. One of the week’s highlights was a day of sailing on our 3 masted ship. When all 14 sails were up it was so much fun. We recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great adventure.” Less

“The Ride with GPS instructions were excellent and so well done. Some roads are close together and bike paths with are right next to roads. All was clear where we had to go. Paolo was terrific to work with, initially when he delivered the bikes, assisting with the routes, etc. He had to follow up as my wife's bike had shifting problems. This was dealt with immediately the next morning (she could still continue the first day, she was concerned that it might damage the bike).
It would have been good to have greater detail of what to expect on the routes we selected. For example, we took the ride only loop on day 5, rather than to Perugia. It was a hot day and the route did NOT go through towns with water available. (fountains particularly to cool off). We had enough drinking water with us, but no extra to pour over ourselves. Also, this route has a lot of loose gravel, even a long, scary, treacherous, winding descent on gravel. I was fine as I'm an experienced mountain biker, but my wife was quite upset with this. People should know ahead of time that you need much greater cycling skills than casual riders on simple bike paths.
I would also HIGHLY recommend that you take the eBikes. I am a strong road rider, but there were many steeper climbs that I expected, not to mention going up those narrow lanes in the hilltop towns. I sure was grateful for this extra power assist, esp. as I carried both panniers (and Paola gave us two extra huge heavy chain locks!!!) If you had your own light (empty) road bike, then you would be okay, but not in such heat. I really didn't want to take an eBike, but I admit it was an excellent decision (pushed by my wife, so that I wouldn't be cooked at the end of each day, even though the distances were quite short). I then had plenty of energy to enjoy the evenings after dinner.” Less

“This was my first time taking a bike trip and it was magical! I would recommend this to everyone! We started our 7 day self guided bike tour in Germany (Passau) and ended in Austria (Vienna) but I can’t wait to do this trip in other countries! The self guided tour was easy to use, had great recommendations, and the hotels were amazing! What an adventure we had! As someone who doesn’t really cycle, I was worried I couldn’t do it, but since I got the hybrid bike it wasn’t too hard at all (I know that’s cheating but it was worth it), my husband got a regular bike and that worked great too! One of our cyclists on our trip needed a bike repair and it was resolved right away. Communication was great, received quick responses, friendly service and everyone was super helpful. What I loved is that we go at our own pace, got to enjoy some areas longer than others and didn’t feel rushed at all. I also loved that I didn’t need to lug my suitcase around and that it was always waiting for me at the hotel upon arrival. I was very impressed with this trip and am already planning my next one. I can’t recommend this bike tour enough seriously! Book today!” Less
