What a trip!
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
We had a wonderful time cycling from Passau to Vienna. Our Biketours consultant, Mariam, helped us prepare for the trip, and everything went smoothly, from the hotel check-ins to navigating the route with the Pedalò app. We loved the scenery, the route was easy to navigate using the Pedalò app, and we loved seeing Austria from our bicycles.

Enjoying the Towns of Provence
Cycling Paradise of Provence - to and from Avignon
We truly enjoyed our trip, particularly visiting the historical towns where we stayed. Sites were interesting and scenery was beautiful. Food was excellent wherever we ate.
The GPS route was easy to follow. It was mostly back roads and bike paths, but also included expressways, gravel or dirt paths, as well as asphalt roads in major disrepair which were all problematic. We had a flat tire which I changed myself with call support from the local operator, Walk Inn. They also personally provided good upfront information and support.
The hotels were fine and well located, and the towns were friendy and welcoming, except Arles which was a major disappointment. Arles was run down and shabby, and the hotel room was incredibly small and unfit for 2 people. We were quite happy with our stays in Avignon, L'Isle sur la Sorgue and St Remy, which were beautiful towns with good accommodations.
We are looking forward to our next bike trip with Biketours.com- What was the date of your tour?

A fantastic and beautiful ride
Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
We were extremely happy with our ride experience. The bikes and difficulty rating s (easy) were perfect for our level of riding and we were well cared for for the entire ride. Our ONLY complaint was with poor quality of one of the hotels we stayed in (Schlogen). Everything else was magical.

Buck-list Trip
Camino de Santiago: From Porto to Santiago de Compostela
Our guide was fantastic dedicating himself to a memorable experience. He was knowledgeable on a wide variety of topics, recommended varied authentic dining experiences, and went out of his way to ensure a successful trip for everyone. Had I known that some for the "hills" exceeded a 12% grade, I would have prepared differently. The overall trip was ell worth the effort.

Great biking tour in the cute town of Utrecht
Utrecht City Bike Tour
We had a great experience with our guide Rafael. Even with some of our group being not so experienced with biking, the tour was doable and we were mainly on quiet streets. It was an excellent way to see places further than where we had energy to walk. And a bonus, we tried one of the worlds best ice cream! I would highly recommend this tour, you get insights into the city history and you experience the present way of life of the cycling town. Even on a hot day thistour was enjoyable.

Safe, well-marked trails, interesting stopover points, great accommodation and breakfasts, friendly culture
Bolzano – Verona – Venice
This was our fourth bike trip and second in Italy. Once again, it was rewarding. This ride began in Bolzano in a northeast region feeling more like Austria than Italy. With an extra day added at the beginning the Hotel Regina provided us with a gondola and train ride up to the mountain plateau to highland communities bordering the city. The nature and view there were worth the time. Back down in the orderly urban centre, we visited a museum devoted to Otiz, the 5000 year old iceman mummy discovered in the Alps several years ago. The exhibit accompanying this added significantly to our understanding of life in the region in former times and its development since. This all provided a wonderful start to the journey to follow we share with you.
The self guided bike tour itself was reasonable for the most part. We felt it was more aptly described as moderate for those choosing regular bikes, as we did. That being said, the equipment supplied was very good but only a single side pack limited carry along extras. One of the few drawbacks found was some of the legs of the journey were too long. Another irritant was the late checkin and early checkout times of hotels stayed in - still a carry over from the effects of covid. Really, the industry worldwide should revert back to former times in order to return some the value lost to consumers then.
One of the eight days was lost due to extreme rain and wind. Rather than brave hostile conditions, we decided to hop on a train and enjoyed a day touring Verona, a fascinating historical centre. Unfortunately, our suitcases were late in arriving so our time there was marked by having to walk about while still clad in our sports attire. Fortunately, this option was available to us on the day prior to a wildcat day long train strike - one of three such days occurring during the three plus weeks spent in Italy this May. The trains are really a great service but having a plan B in mind is a worthwhile travel strategy.
This bike trip had many unique features. A ferry ride on Lake Garda was one and took place on another day of (at time) heavy showers. The effect of this was the views could not be fully appreciated, but we dried off in a warm cabin after the four hour slog to the dock was completed. On board, the boat ride gave us more insight as to the lifestyle enjoyed and appeal of lakeside living on this massive body of water. Many stops were made on the lake to pick up and drop off passengers at communities on both sides of the lake and there was time for a few card games All in all, the added variety of the four plus hour long trip added to the overall experience.
Bike riding in May means being well prepared for all kinds of weather, from cool, rainy days to serious heat. As said, two days were affected by the former. However, the heat dome that followed began the day our trip ended and took temperatures into the 30s. Prepare well for the possibilities. Good rain gear is highly recommended and this includes waterproof jackets, shoe covers and shoes. All in all, there was enough just space in our bike bag to carry the basic equipment needed.

Two other mentions would be to ensure navigation devices are capable of maintaining power for up to eight hours. Also, having a device carrier for phones on the handle bars is recommended. Although routes were well marked, having a single page backup map for each day stored in a waterproofed folder ensures no time is wasted staying on course.
The food was another reward. Continental breakfasts were rated good to excellent. A daily dose of Italian gelato found most everywhere added another highlight to each day. Every stopover point was well served with good restaurants and we supplemented meals with trips to supermarkets to add extras, such as fruit, nuts and other snacks. One advantage we found was being from northern lands we were used to eating earlier and restaurants were generally empty until after 7 pm.Italy has so much history and discoveries were made in all stopover points experienced. Venice was spectacular and worthy of the extra day spent there. We were able to take the tram directly from Mestre to Venice for a couple of dollars. The station was right around the corner from the hotel. Honestly, it is really hard to believe the city, with all its massive stone structures, was built on wooden pilings. Overall Italy, we found crowds were smaller in the mornings until around noon. Italians and other locals were generally found to come out en mass in the evenings. Tourist attractions and services can feel crowded then.
Italy is a favorite destination. All along the way, we found Italian people especially helpful and friendly, despite all the tourists. This was also a ‘major' highlight of the journey and experience. We highly recommend this tour to those valuing a warm culture in lands steeped with layers of history still so meaningful to the world at large. A memorable adventure.

Excellent, well-organized trip. Beautiful scenery and nice routes. Fjords Cycling is a quality organization. I defiantly would recommend this trip. We had e-bikes and they were also very good. Defiantly pack for wet cool weather. The itinerary left us time to do some nice hikes as well, so pack your hiking shoes and enjoy the views.

Lovely trip
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
This was a lovely way to see various small cities along the beautiful scenery of the Danube River. The hotels were all so unique and had such character of their own. The e-bikes were perfect.

First experience riding bikes in Europe was really cool!
Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)
We rode without a guide aided by Google maps. The map files you provided didn't work for me! Google maps did an adequate job and I always felt comfortable relying on it! We truly enjoyed the ride, the hotel stays, and the map book was a great reference to have available!
