“Castle after Castle. Wine, Wine, Everywhere Wine!!! Velociped App was sensational guiding us on the route, getting us to our specific hotel, sites to see along the way. A few bike issues on the front end but Velociped finally took care of it. BikeTours followed up to make sure all was well. Hotels were 4 and 5 star (by European standards) with the exception of Hotel Sum Adler in Bad Godesberg. Good hotel, clean, good breakfast, but our room was the size of a phone booth! We actually had a bit of a chuckle about it. We were blessed with perfect weather for the entire ride. Rheinfels Schloss Hotel is a must!!!!!” Less
