Beautiful Swedish Coastline
Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
We just returned from this trip and felt like it was a nice way to end the summer. We booked it last minute and arrived on August 29th and finished on September 5th, so we were still booked for the more expensive summer season even though only one day was spent in that time. It was still a great trip though and the weather was still fairly warm and we had most of the trails and beaches to ourselves. Many of the restaurants and venues mentioned in the program were closed because the peak season was over, so I would recommend bringing some additional food options if you ride this after September 1st. The hotels all had great breakfasts and were in good locations.
There was a very loud music concert a block or so away on our first night in Helsingborg and it kept us awake until 1:00 am (and we had to have the windows open because that is the only way to cool the room). We found out that it is a yearly event held that last weekend of August so if you enjoy a good rock concert maybe this is a time you will want to be there. Other than that we were very pleased with our rooms and the service. One challenge we had in multiple hotels was getting our bikes into the storage rooms which were hard to access. They were secure though.
The Kattegattleden trail is very well maintained and the scenery is gorgeous. A few of the days were very long and we didn't have time to stop and see everything but generally it was a comfortable place. It was fairly nice weather but we had rain at some time every day. Definitely bring good rain gear and layers of warm clothing with the changing weather.
We had good service with the bike shop and were pleased with our gear and everything worked great.- What was the date of your tour?

An Amazing Adventure.
Coastal Normandy and WWII History
We had a wonderful time touring the sights of the 1944 D-Day landing beaches. There were at least 2 museums in each of the main towns dedicated to the D-Day invasion. We rode in sunshine, rain, and wind but overall the weather was not bad. The hotels were all excellent and the luggage transfer was seamless. The only downside was we had to closely budget our time in the museums to complete the ride. There is so much to see this trip could easily be an extra day with shorter daily rides to take it all in. We were happy to have E-bikes which gave us more energy to tour the sights. The stop at the American Cemetery in Normandy was a moving experience. We would highly recommend this trip for anyone, but do your homework and have an understanding of the events and places you will see. The special part of this ride is that you not only visit Utah and Omaha beaches but also Gold, Juno, and Sword which gives you a good perspective of the magnitude of this operation. Food was not always readily available in Normandy as most restaurants were closed from 1-2 which was not ideal for us.

Delightful trip
Loire Valley Châteaux & Gardens Tour
My husband and I were looking forward to doing this trip for several years and this was the year we finally were able to do it. It was worth the wait! Sam was the leader/guide of our small group. There were just six of us which made for a delightful experience. Sam was very knowledgeable and fun to ride with. Not only did we see all of the sites listed on our itinerary, but we were also able to do a couple spur of the moment side trips. The chateaux were amazing, our fellow riders delightful to get to know, and the weather was spectacular. Gourmet meals, and beautiful and relaxing accommodations were also a part of this experience.
I can highly recommend this trip and this company, it was terrific.- What was the date of your tour?

Beautiful scenery
Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails
Great way to see beautiful Austrian scenery and small villages as well. Weather was great and our local contact, Helmut was fantastic. I messed up on the deadline to pick up our bikes and he coordinated with the bike shop to adapt to my mistake and meet us after hours! Much appreciated! Also, my wife had some back problems and he coordinated transfer for her on 2 days and a train related short cut for the biking on another day so she could take part as she improved. He was immediately accessible, kind, and sooo helpful.Also the employee at crazy bikes who stayed after hours to get us our bikes in Innsbruck. Thanks for all the extra effort! The hotels were all very nice with great breakfasts and staff. We did not do the extra stay day in Zell am See but would recommend it. Biking days were well balanced with some shorter and a couple longer days. One of the best tours of the many I have done with bike tours!

Loved it!
Venice to Trieste and Istria
Incredible trip, it was well organized and a smooth experience. The destinations were perfect, with a beach almost every day to relax after cycling. The flexibility of the trains and boats to cut down kms as desired was excellent to ensure each day was enjoyable. Note that the route map brings you from city to city and then with your own GPS to get to the exact hotel, this can add up to 10 extra km in addition. Go for the adventure, cycling and the wonderful food along the way, each day was a lovely surprise!

Marvelous adventure
Amsterdam to Bruges: Cycling through South Holland and Zeeland
This was our first time doing a point-to-point biking adventure, and it was everything we hoped it would be. The equipment was top notch and the accommodations charming. The convenience of having our luggage transported was so great. All we had to do was provide the pedal power!

Nice One Hotel Bike Tours

The hotel was great especially the creative and changing dinners, hotel staff is super friendly and very helpful, great for one hotel bikers, the selected tours are very nice, some of the gravel roads are challenging and should be mentioned in the booklets

Great trip!!
Provence’s History, Landscapes, and Luberon National Park
We are having a fantastic time on our bike trip. There are seven of us ( all over 60) some regular bikes but mostly e bikes, and this trip is checking all of our boxes. Beautiful scenery, charming hotels, a knowledgeable and helpful guide (Adam)
and wonderful food. Highly recommended whether you want to be challenged on a bike or like the option of electric assist. Even the extreme heat has not gotten in the way.- Countries included in this tour?

Excellent trip bathed in beautiful nature in all directions
Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps
What a perfect way to travel through the beautiful countryside of Italy, Austria and Slovenia's followed with the alps on the side.
Every part of the journey was without any troubles at all. The navigation app was flawless and very easy to use.
We are very satisfied with BikeTours and Fun active Tours, simply because everything was after the plan.

Really beautiful scenery and a great bike to take me down the paths
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
I really enjoyed the trip. The scenery was gorgeous. The navigation app worked well, and pointed out the details we needed to cross the road when needed, and circle around to cross bridges. Our luggage transfers were seamless. I was happy with my pedal assist ebike, which worked without a hitch and made the riding just the right level of athletic challenge (but not too much). We got a great overview of the ride from Vienna to Budapest from a meeting with the tour operator, so we knew what to expect, and weren't confused on our rail and boat transfers towards the end.
I liked staying in the smaller towns, where I could see how people live, and experience local hospitality.

Life-time experience!
Prague to Vienna via Cesky Krumlov
We had a wonderful experience on this tour and thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it. Our guide, Milan, and our driver, Henry, were exceptionally helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the journey. Milan enriched the experience by providing extensive historical context and fascinating insights about the places we visited, which made the tour even more memorable.
The cycling route was excellent and very scenic. Some sections, particularly the hilly terrain, were quite challenging, but the rest of the route was manageable and enjoyable. The effort was definitely worth it, given the beautiful landscapes and rewarding experience.
Overall, this was an outstanding tour, and I would definitely do it again. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
