Bucket List Trip
Dolomites to Venice Along the Old Dolomites Railway Track
At 72, this was likely my most memorable vacation and I am looking to find another before I get too old to continue these. The trip description was very accurate and we stuck to the plan. Although “self-guided” it would be impossible without the guidance app provided. It is essential to take a phone holder for the bike to be able to follow the app. Best to put phone in airplane mode as suggested. There were around 8 other participants on same tour package. We communicated and kept track of each other and understand that my wife and I were the only participants that biked the entire 200 mile route without taking the train. The rout avoids major highways and provides bike trails and low use roads when possible. All accommodations were really nice and accommodating for e bikes. This is not “just a rail trail” but the e bike provided was sufficient and handled each day well. First class equipment and support. It was unseasonably hot, even at high elevations. Great trip!!

Generally very good
Salzburg to Vienna, Lakes Option
Staff and the route were just excellent. The hotels were great. I would have a suggestion for a local company, but it does not detract from the experience.

Beautiful part of Ireland
Connemara Lazy Days Cycling
The Connemara region is truly beautiful and worth visiting. Our family enjoyed exploring the scenery and castles on the way. I wish the accommodations had been more consistent (similar from one another) and that we had been communicated that hotels/hostels would be located far from services such as restaurants, given that we had 2 children with us. We also biked mostly on a road shared with cars, which was stressful when managing kids. Overall, we enjoyed our trip but would not recommend for kids under the age of 12.

Very nice trip with surprising variety
Best of Eastern Zealand
Pro: Everything went well. Local staff was very accommodating and pleasant. Bikes worked fine and were appropriate models for the trip. We liked staying at the hotels for two nights; less packing and unpacking. The countryside is beautiful. People along the way were SO helpful when we needed assistance. The trains were frequent and easy to use for returns trips (one way biking).
Cons: Lack of communication for initial meet to get bikes. Occasional, spurious verbal commands from the navigation that conflicted with the route/map. Some surprising single track on sometimes loose gravel that IMO was close to mountain biking.- What was the date of your tour?

Fantastic Family Holiday
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
What a wonderful way to experience Germany as a family of 6 with young adult 'children'. Some days of cycling were shorter than expected, allowing more time to ride the cable cars and experience the vineyards or charming villages. The interactive maps were a great help and the short descriptions provided more than enough information for us.

Beautiful countryside
Tauern Bike Path (Krimml-Passau)
Our fifth time riding this gorgeous bike tour. One can never tire of the beautiful mountains, waterfall, small farms, villages, orchards, etc. The hotels were all high quality and located on or near the bike path. The bikes were in excellent condition. The coordination between Bike Tours. Com and the local tour company was superb.

Amazing Trip
Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
The perfect way to experience this beautiful region of France! My uncle and I had an incredible time from start to finish. While we're not avid cyclists, we're both very active, and the route struck the perfect balance between enjoyable riding and a bit of a challenge. There were also customization options for anyone looking to make the ride more demanding.
The entire process with BikeTours was smooth, quick, and responsive, making planning effortless. The local organization on the ground, was equally outstanding, communicative, helpful, and supportive throughout the trip.
I would highly recommend this tour!

E-Biking Makes It Easy to Experience the Beauty of the Dolomites
Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)
E-Biking is the perfect way to experience the Dolomites and another option to just hiking in the area. Hiking and biking are both popular so recommend the shoulder seasons of June and September. The Hotel Laurin's had a fabulous 6 course dinner every night, so don't expect to lose weight on this trip. The bikes were top notch and very easy to pedal even without e-assist. Great value and would highly recommend this trip.

Beautiful Coastline
Venice to Trieste and Istria
Let's start with what was great about this trip. The actual destinations (Jesolo, Puertograro, Piran etc) were very nice and picturesque. The hotels were great especially as this price point. My favorite cycle bits were actually the final two days - the elevated cycling track from Trieste into Slovenia and the mountains from Piran to Porec.
The reason i don't give this a 5* is simply because the actual rides for all the inbetween other cities were kind of boring in my opinion and no shade anywhere. After a while, seeing more vineyards isn't entirely appealing to me and quite a few Gravel paths as well which meant you couldn't quickly get past them.
The locla tour operator were great and very responsive on Whastapp. Biketours were also very helpful via email ahead of the bookings.
Still worth doing it once, but for me personally I will choose a national park destination next time or something with trees around.

Perfect trip with teens!
Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers
This was our 3rd trip through BikeTours, and our first trip with our teens. It was a lovely way to intro the boys to bike touring. The route primarily follows the river taking you between farm land, forests, small towns and castle ruins. We booked an extra day in Hrensko and hiked the area, making a long meandering way to see the rock arch. We always try to anchor our bike trips with city visits - this tour was perfect for starting with 3 days in Prague and then ending with a short train ride to Berlin and 3 days of extra exploration.

Wow!! Spectacular Coastal Cycling in Southern Sardinia
Sardinia: A Mine of Memories
Southern Sardinia exceeded our expectations, offering an unforgettable combination of spectacular coastal scenery, crystal-clear beaches, charming seaside towns, and fantastic food. Every day brought something different, from dramatic cliffs and hidden coves to peaceful salt marshes and scenic coastal roads. The Cube e-bikes were comfortable and reliable, making the longer climbs and occasional headwinds far more enjoyable, while the Ride with GPS navigation made the route easy to follow with the flexibility to explore a few extra hidden gems along the way.
This tour is ideal for cyclists who are comfortable riding on roads with traffic, as there are very few dedicated bike paths. In return, you're rewarded with breathtaking scenery, authentic Sardinian hospitality, and plenty of opportunities to swim, relax, and enjoy the local cuisine. The local tour operator also provided excellent support throughout the trip, making the entire experience smooth and worry-free. We'd highly recommend travelling in May or late September/October when temperatures are cooler and the island is less crowded. It was a memorable cycling holiday that we would happily recommend to anyone looking to experience the beauty of southern Sardinia.

Great trip.
Baltic Capitals: Historic Cities of Vilnius, Riga and Tallinn
What a great way to see this part of the world. The cycling is easy, no huge hills to get in the way. Our guide, Ramos, had his finger on the pulse the full trip, it was so well organised. He is very knowledgeable with the countries now and the amazing history. All the accommodation was top class.

Nice Scenery and Trails but Terrible Bikes
Berlin – Copenhagen
I have mixed feelings about this ride. I was very psyched about the ride route but in retrospect, I think the ride is much more suited to recreational riders, than experienced ones.
The scenery and trails were very nice. When my derailleur hanger broke off, the company was responsive and I got a new one within a couple of hours. People on the road and at hotels were very friendly and helpful. And if you like pastry, you’ll be in heaven!
If you’re an experienced rider, you aren’t likely to be happy with the bikes. They’re very heavy and clumsy. Also, only some men’s bikes had a water bottle cage. The company provided a front bike bag which a water bottle fit into, but cages are the international standard. Most people I know travel with 2 water bottles, so the bike bag was only a partial solution. I wanted to avoid this by bringing my own bike but the company was very difficult to deal with on this issue and by the time they agreed to transport our bike boxes, it was too late.
At the ride start every room received a big packet containing paper guides and maps which I thought were a waste of paper. Everyone in my group of about 15 used Ride With GPS (RWGPS) files exclusively. But some riders may want paper guides so they should just be available on request. Further, the written directions were confusing as they combined different lodging towns so not all info was relevant to all riders. Finally, the RWGPS files routed us to the town, not actual lodging. I didn’t care for having to pull up lodging directions when we arrived in a town.

Nice route, good bikes, great hotels, flakey FunActive app
Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps
Very nice route. The instructions at times were too terse so that we did not know that we had a private ride at one point and thought it to be public transport. The exit from Bled went very smoothly but again we did not know quite what was planned beforehand. Initial pickup of the bikes and documents also was not clear and we had to go to the FunActive office to arrange that.
The final leg to Trieste could be improved, we took both the recommended and our improved route so know this to be so (I can supply the GPX if wanted).
The FunActive App is comprehensive but often stops functioning and uses a lot of battery. It would be better if it had less functionality but always worked.
Bikes were great. The front-box supplied did not fit the guidebook supplied!
Hotels and their meals were all great. - ★★★★★ Nancy
Pedal, Explore, Eat, Repeat
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
Riding bicycles through the countryside, towns and cities of four countries allowed us to experience and explore at our own pace and pleasure. The route was well-planned with a navigation app allowing us to avoid most of the major roads and traffic while traveling through villages, farm fields and along the Danube. Our luggage arrived at each hotel as planned; the hotels were really nice and had great breakfasts; and our lodging was always located close to scenic areas (like the Danube) or city sites. The bicycles we rented from biketours.com were in excellent condition allowing us a trouble-free ride, and came with a panniers for things we needed to keep with us. Biketours uses local partners to implement rides and we did have one blip in the itinerary where we were supposed to take a boat on the Danube from Szentendre to Budapest and the boat service had been suspended. The local operator was responsive and apologetic and helped us formulate an alternative plan. I would use biketours.com again. I would add that there are sections where you ride in city traffic or on minor roads with no bike lane. I didn't enjoy that, but it was unavoidable to get to our hotels which were located to provide us with easier access to the sites.
