★★★★★ Garikoitz 2 days agoKey and very interesting information about Rotterdam

★★★★★ Bill C 2 days agoWonderful tour along the Danube!
· Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
It was a really great trip. We (two couples) did a self-guided trip. The welcome/bike set-up meeting was very helpful and on time. The e-bike rentals were great. And the routing and App provided were terrific. Less wonderful: we did have trouble reaching the local vendor for a bike repair issue - surprisingly the person with the "WhatsApp" number had taken off with that phone that day. Caused a lot of confusion. Also, one of our hotels (Linz) provided awful service in terms of non-functioning Air Conditioning in both rooms. For hours they told us that this was as cool as the rooms get (approx 27 degrees Celcius). Finally, the manager agreed to let us try rooms on a lower floor, which were a very comfortable 21 degrees.
Overall, we'd recommend the trip highly. -
★★★★★ BH 3 days agoHalf and Half
· Freiburg and the Alsatian Wine Road
Maybe it was the extreme heat but we found the first 3 days to be less than exciting. We were just thankful we didn’t have a strong head wind as we rode along the very exposed Rhine River embankment. Strasbourg was gorgeous but it was 98 at 4 pm. The ride west out of Strasbourg was beautiful, shady as it followed an old canal. Alsace was fantastic even though a few hills were probably at least 12%. Most surfaces were very nice. Obernai and Colmar were highlights. We rode our own touring bikes.

★★★★★ David 3 days agoGreat fun, sport and culture. All in one.
· Classic Vienna Bike Tour
First time cycling in Vienna with my son. It was a very good moment. We really appreciated the organisation of the event, our guide Florian, was great. He explaining very well and took the time to exchange with us. It was the first time cycling in Vienna and this was not a problem at all with traffic. As a casual cyclist I had no problem cycling for these 3 hours. I highly recommend this tour and we will book again next time we will be in Vienna.

★★★★★ Nancy 3 days agoBest way to learn and explore!
· Berlin – Copenhagen
Traveling by e-bike through Germany and Denmark was the best way for us to travel. We are in our 70's and seldom cycle at home but having dedicated cycle paths and quiet roads with very understanding drivers makes this type of travel perfect. The huge expanses of agricultural fields, forests and waterways made cycling relaxing and a joy to see. The majority of accommodations were steeped in history and nearby historic sites.

★★★★★ Adam P. 3 days agoA Beautiful 5-Day Ride from Prague to Dresden
· Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers
This was our 7th cycle trip with Biketours and one of the most scenic, especially considering the ease of the terrain. We traveled with our 2 daughters, ages 12 and 8, who did well on this route, which is mostly on dedicated and paved cycle ways. I would recommend this trip for anyone looking for routes that are suitable for families with children or for folks who simply want to avoid biking on motorways. The lodging was good to excellent by European standards (even for 4 people), and the boarding (breakfasts) were consistently excellent. The local tour company is one of the best I have seen in terms of their speed of communication and proficiency with technology, as they responded in moments via mobile apps when we had questions and provided detailed GPS navigation instructions. The bikes and gear were all in good condition with no mechanical issues. Bottom line, I would strongly recommend this tour, especially for families.

This was an outstanding bike trip to Croatia and its coastal islands. It was well-organized from the beginning to the end, and communication was friendly and thorough. The locations were as beautiful as the photos, and the GPS app was super helpful.

★★★★★ Jae-Jae S. 4 days agoExcellent family trip!
· Greenways of Girona Family Tour 5 Nights
This was a perfect trip for our family--2 adults and a 10 year old. Distances and terrain was manageable, lots to see and do, and very nice accommodations (especially the ones with pools as it was very hot!). We especially loved the beach day in St. Feliu.
Two suggestions: One of the hotels did not start breakfast until 9am (Can de Garay). With the temperatures near 40C that day, we really would have liked to start earlier that day to ride more when it was less hot. Perhaps another hotel would be better in summer. Also, some additional details of how to get from the train station in Girona to the hotel in Olot would have been helpful.

★★★★★ Robin Jones 4 days ago
Brutal weather but a great ride nonetheless
· Berlin – Copenhagen
This was the trip I had wanted to go on since the first time I came across Bike Tours. The trip was filled with wonderful trails and scenery and although the length was quite long it was very doable, sans the weather! It happened that during our ride (7 of the 9 days) there were extremely high winds and rain several of the days. The wind made it so difficult to ride as most days had sustained winds between 20-30 mph (ALL DAY LONG). Thank the Lord for e-bikes. I never could have done this ride without one. That being said, it was still enjoyable. It was very easy to connect with the ferry to cross from Germany to Denmark and the small bike ferry we took to Bogo was smooth as well. On a couple of days we made our own route on google maps and ride with gps to shorten the days a bit. I would definitely recommend the trip and we all know we just deal with the weather given us. I was incredibly impressed with how well the trails are marked and maintained. We met some really nice travelers along the way and although we do self guided rides we seem to see the same people at the hotels at night. The young man who met us at our beginning hotel did the most thorough hand over of bikes than any other company we have worked with. The bike was a perfect fit and I was very happy with the local tour operator.

★★★★★ Bill H. 4 days agoPositive Experience, with a bit of extra effort
· Best of Holland North: Dutch Villages, Landscapes & the Keukenhof
The e-bikes provided were top of the line, with the appropriate accessories of bags and locks. (We were glad we booked e-bikes because, while the landscape is flat, we needed the power to overcome the sustained winds in the North.) Orientation was clear and friendly, with a great local person. All of our bags transferred seamlessly throughout the trip. Three of the four boutique hotels booked for us were well-styled - but those three did not have elevators.
The tour route provided via Ride with GPS was fine but without customization or annotation to reflect the interests we had expressed. A separate and limited list of potential sites along the way was provided, but none of them were identified on RwGPS, so we relied primarily on our own research to enrich the route with stops and side visits that added value.
Perhaps the biggest issue was that we had a tough time trying to meet the 3pm bike return on the last day - and were ultimately a little late and under pressure. We typically needed until 6pm each day to enjoy the sites along the way and would recommend that the last day be scheduled as a full day before bike returns.

★★★★★ Richard Welsh 6 days agoUnfortunately, we had to cancel the tour

We cancelled the tour 48 hours prior to the start time and got a full refund.

★★★★★ Steve Lilley 6 days agoChallenge completed!
· Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
As a couple we enjoyed completing the challenge in extremely hot conditions.
We were disappointed in not sighting or swimming in the Danube more often: it’s a mighty impressive river!
Riding enabled greater appreciation of the country and people than by car: crops and farming in particular.
The final ferry ride for over an hour was a great finale! -
★★★★★ K Harris 6 days agoGreat ride around Wellington and we learned a lot
· Wellington City E-Bike Tour
Everything about this ride was amazing. Bikes were well maintained and worked great. Jack was very nice and knowledgeable about the town. The bike paths were in great order and we felt safe and comfortable the whole time.

★★★★★ Greg M 6 days agoFantastic Bike Routes
· Bolzano to Verona: Orchards, Mountains & Timeless Culture
Each day of the ride was beautiful. The guidance app worked great most of the time (more on that later). When I lost my saddlebag along with the charger I called the support company, and a new charger was waiting for me at the hotel!
Two things bothered me: On the first ride from Bolzano you stay in the town of Ora. The people at the hotel there were wonderful and had a beautiful breakfast array the next morning. But there is really nothing to see in that town. If you go another 5 km or so you end up in the town of Tramin where the wine variety Gewurztraminer was developed, with wine tastings interesting restaurants etc.
The other bothersome thing was the app was not updated for new construction. And I am not talking about very recent construction. On the ride from Lake Garda to Verona a bridge was closed down and it had been closed for weeks. That was a major problem as there was no other bridge to cross the Mincio river and I ended up back in Peschiera del Garda. Now I'm lost and google maps does a poor job of directing a bike route to Verona. Luckily I had the Cyclers app which gave me an excellent bike route along gravel paths and bike lanes to Verona.
That aside it's a fabulous way to bike the countryside from Alto Adige to Verona! And the ferry from north to south Lake Garda is long but wonderful!- Countries included in this tour?

★★★★★ Parminder and Jonneke 1 week ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fantastic, insightful bike tour through The Hague
· Highlights of The Hague Bike Tour
We had an amazing bike tour in The Hague last week. The entire experience was well thought out, with a perfect balance of cycling, sightseeing, and historical context. Our guide, Teun, was outstanding – incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden stories that we would never have discovered on our own. He shared everything with such enthusiasm and clarity that it made each stop truly come alive. We learned so much while enjoying a comfortable and relaxed ride through beautiful streets and parks. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see The Hague from a local perspective and understand its rich past in a fun, engaging way. Thank you, Teun, for making our day so memorable!

★★★★★ Albuquerque, M 1 week agoA wonderful and nice surprise!
· Burgundy Wine Trails: Beaune to Macon on the “Voie Verte”
Honestly... as we arrived in Beaune, after five days in the intense Paris, we got depressed and were about to give up on the tour. It was Sunday and almost everything was closed and there was almost nobody in the streets. As we went for a walk around this curious and medieval city, it started to look interesting. We decided to, at least, try the bike ride scheduled for the next day. And so it all began. The track, the field covered with vineyards, wheat, hay and sunflower, the small villages, the cozy pre-summer weather, enchanted us. Some winery were opened, so we could do some tasting and buy some peculiar wines, which gave additional brightness to the trip. Locals were very kind. The physical exercise itself... it all changed our minds completely. So, as to enjoy even more, we opted for electric bikes. Each day was a 5 to 6 hour ride full of discoveries and stop-overs, different kinds of tracks, many new old villages and delightful sceneries, sprinkled by wonderful chardonnay and pinot noir. Charming places to picnic, many photos, lots of tastes and smells. Resting in comfortable beds and dinning the Bourgogne gastronomy. It was not the trip of our dreams. It was a dream itself!

★★★★★ Laura S. 1 week agoBike, Barge, Fine Dining!
· · Amsterdam to Cologne along the IJssel and Rhine
What a super trip! The Merlin is a beautiful barge and the crew exceptionally welcoming. Meals were gourmet, the scenery beautiful, and the cycling was so perfect. Ilsa was a terrific guide - the picture of patience, a font of knowledge, and an expert cyclist. The small group size meant we were able to become acquainted with each other very quickly, which was fun. The staterooms were so comfortable and inviting. Superb service. This trip certainly exceeded my expectations.

★★★★★ Tami 1 week agoInteresting tour of the city. Guide was very knowledgable
· Back to Socialism Bike Tour Zagreb
It was a great ride around town with interesting commentary. We've been on tons of bike tours in many countries. This one had fewer stops, and longer talking at the stops. Guide was able to answer any and all questions, and we learned a lot about the city and country.
