Beautiful & Historically Rich
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
Our self guided cycle trip from Vienna to Budapest was extraordinary. The navigation guide worked really well for the daily cycles and the pacing of our days was great, other than we would have opted to stay in some of the cities like Gyor and Budapest for an extra day to do some history tours. Great hotels, planning and support otherwise.

Fabulous way to see and experience Eastern Crete
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
Our group of 6 friends enjoyed the challenge of cycling Eastern Crete.
Electric bikes helped us climb the rugged mountains where the scenery was breathtaking.
The tour took us to busy towns and quiet villages; Past turquoise waters and hills covered in spring flowers or olive trees.
We saw sheep and goats. Smelt the wild herbs growing on the side of the road.
We ate slow cooked lamb and a variety of fish. Creamy yoghurt and local honey. Wild greens, fresh salads Cretan pies and gyros.
The freshly squeezed orange juice is a must.
The Cretan hospitality is amazing - including dessert and Raki!
Everything went as planned. The app was accurate. Luggage transfers were on time.
This is a great way to see the real Crete.
But beware. Crete is hilly.- What was the date of your tour?

Exceeded my expectations!
Split to Dalmatian Islands
This was my husband and my first bike ‘tour’ and it was more than I imagined it could be! We were given a brief Croatian history lesson, a thorough briefing of our tour and the bikes before we got started. The routes were well marked on the App provided. It was a fantastic way to get into the nookes and crannies of the Dalmatian islands. As this was a self guided trip we were able to go at our own pace. We stopped often to take pictures or to simple enjoy the picturesque views!! This was our first but definitely not our last bike tour!!

Interesting and fun bike ride!
Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy
The trip was well organized. Great communication with Bike Tours during the planning, and the local bike company was exceptional. We used e-bikes, which made the trip very enjoyable.
There was some road traffic getting in/out of cities, but within a mile we were on country roads or trails. The bikes were great, with plenty of range to use additional assist for the long uphills. The variety of lodgings was interesting (old and modern), and the GPS for the self-guided tour worked perfectly. Highly recommend!- What was the date of your tour?

Spring in Spain is breathtaking. Filled with wildflowers and glowing green.
Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway
Starting with the ancient beauty of Albarracin, through the pine forests, red rock cliffs, orchards, and rolling hills, the scenery was often spectacular. And at each latitude a different array of wildflowers. There was some construction on the trail that created a challenge but seems that is part of biking. The issues we encountered on the route could have been better addressed with clear communication. We spent an extra day in both Valencia and Alberracin. I would suggest a day break halfway through the trip also. Segorbe would be a good choice. A little R&R after the 40 mile day. Breakfasts and hotels were great. The bikes, we had ebikes, were a little beat up. Had some trouble with the chain slipping on one bike, the battery didn't last the full 40 miles on the other and the pedals were locking up on the last day. A chain cleaning cloth and some lubricant would be helpful in the tool bag. All in all an adventure with far more moments of awe than hassle.

Amazing way to see Crete
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
Overall this is an amazing way to see an amazing island. The hotels were all nice with good breakfasts, and all of the planning and logistics went quite smoothly. The tour company was quite responsive and helpful when issues arose. Definitely get an E-bike though, there are tons of hills on Crete! The days were all quite manageable with an E-bike. The route went through a nice mix of villages, countryside and along the Ocean. The route is entirely on roads (no bike paths), some of which were a bit busy at times. There are a few touristy things to see along the way each day as well which was nice.

Easy and scenic
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
gREAT trip, excellent accommodation but to improve accommodation we would recommend having tea/coffee making facilities in every room and preferably a small fridge that guests can keep cool drinks in. Especially important at end of a day if guests arrive hot, tired or thirsty

Beautiful scenery, well-supported trip
Portugal's Coastal Splendor from Porto to Lisbon
Our local agency provided the best customer service I’ve had in three European bike trips. They gave great sightseeing and restaurant recommendations, communicated daily and solved problems quickly. We were self-guided, but they rode with us out of town in our first day, to make sure we got on the right route. The hotels were terrific, route was beautiful,
the Portuguese people were charming and welcoming.- What was the date of your tour?

One of our best tours ever!
Biking Through the Heel of Italy from Puglia to Salento
We have taken 11 bike tours over the years and we believe that this may have been the best so far.
The bikes were great, the navigation was spot on, the support was excellent, and the trip was well thought out.All of the inns and hotels were clean and perfectly located, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. They all had easily accessible places to store and charge the e-bikes. The breakfasts were well stocked and enjoyable. One inn had dinner included and it was top notch.
The rides were all very well planned out and took us through olive groves, vineyards, farms, and some of the most beautiful coastal views we have ever seen. Routes were mostly on very quiet roads or bike paths. Getting in and out of some of the bigger towns required riding on city streets but that was expected and did not last long.
The trip included a few excursions that were also very enjoyable. Wine tasting, olive oil tasting, city tour, and even a boat cruise.
Every night we ate at one of the suggested restaurants, and they were all wonderful--away from the crowded touristy spots, but still nearby.
We arrived for Day One of our tour on a Sunday, so it worked out that we passed through some of the smaller towns on the weekend when everything was open even in pre-season (our trip was in April).
We also made some extra stops and detours along the way to enjoy more sites and scenery. Be sure to read the points of interest in the materials provided, take it slow, and enjoy the journey.

Loire a Velo: Orleans to the Atlantic
The trip was memorable!!! The 4-star hotels were well-located and offered excellent service. The distances covered were appropriate, leaving plenty of free time to enjoy the destination upon arrival. The electric bikes worked perfectly. Kate's attention and advice before and during the trip, as well as that of the local provider, were invaluable. We will definitely book with Biketours again.

Incredible Experience, highly recommend!
Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway
Wonderful experience. Very peaceful ride with very few other cyclists or walkers on the route (April). The support from Sandi and his team was really good, with updates every day that included restaurant recommendations, very helpful. Accommodations and breakfasts were top notch.
The bikes were heavy, about 30 pounds, with larger tyres and lots of gears: both the tyres and gears were much needed at times: a long steady climb on day one and lots of gravel on other days.The tour ended with two nights in Valencia staying in a busier area: perfect for those looking to explore the city but for those who like the countryside they may wish to tweak the itinerary. We loved all the beautiful scenery, riding through the tunnels, and staying in beautiful and tidy towns. The value for the price was very high, and we are definitely recommending it to friends.

Beautiful Beaches and Mountains
Sardinia: A Mine of Memories
The tour was just the right length each day, the terrain was moderately difficult to difficult (I switched from manual bike to e bike after the first day), the GPS guide was easy to follow, and the views were stunning. The food was excellent (especially at the agrotourism farms). The accommodations were very good and all the staff were helpful.

A great trip.
Along the Rhône River from Geneva to Lyon
The scenery was fantastic. The route was a good balance of relaxing and challenging. The bike was a good quality bike and well maintained. I’m glad we opted for e-bikes. We had no seasoned cyclists in our group, but we coped with hills and terrain quite effectively thanks to the e-bikes.
