    We didn't want our trip to end...

    Fabulous way to experience the Alsace region! Vineyards, forest cycle paths, and charming villages.

    Tour de Storks

    Bicycling this area was a fantastic experience. I’ve biked many areas of Europe and I can say that the bike friendliness of Alsace is top notch. The villages were marvelous and the wine was the best. We love the dry Rieslings.
    Everything was smooth sailing, from the bicycles to the detailed GPX files. All the hotels were great and the variety was way cool.
    I told my son, who lives in Switzerland that this route is a must do for him and my grandson.
    We shared this experience with another couple (close friends) with the anticipation that we will do this trip again with them.
    We saw 7 or 8 Stork nests on Church steeples, town wall towers, and other high places all with chicks. It was charming.
    My hat is off to bike tours for a seamless experience.
    BTW, the one rain we had was 20 minutes which we spent under an awning so no worries. Weather kharma!
    My advice……book this one.

    Wonderful Tour to Little-Known Area

    This is a wonderfully varied tour to an area that most Americans don't visit. The first two days are flat, along shaded canals and country roads. The next two days are hillier, through vineyards and historic towns. The final day has one last beautiful view over the Rhine River valley before descending to another flat day of riding along shady canals. The accommodations are wonderful and mostly in the center of town. The luggage service was reliable each day. The breakfasts were always well stocked. The bikes were well suited to the terrain with plenty of gears and strong tires.

    German Influences in a Very Different Culture

    This was our tenth European bike tour. We have pedaled many of the countries around Germany, but never in France. Beginning in Strasbourg, the rich history and architecture of the region take their grasp. The first two days were flat and easy, enjoying the quiet between cornfields and canals. The quaint villages along the way are filled with stone and timbered houses, cobblestone streets and ponds with serene swans. Some of the hill country through the grape/wine road presented challenges, but nothing that could not be accomplished. We enjoyed the German influence on the local cuisine, along with the famous wines of the Alsace.
