Exactly what I was looking for in a biking tour
Berlin – Copenhagen
The equipment worked well, the route was well planned, and the accommodations were good. The in-country partner was excellent and very helpful.

A fabulous way to experience South Africa
South African Safari & Bike Adventure: Kruger, Blyde River, and More
The trip exceeded our expectations.
Lizelle and Wendel went out of their way to share some of their favourite parts of South Africa. We cycled by giraffes and zebras on a private game reserve, through avocado and orange orchards and through the spectacular Blyde Canyon. We also loved the non-cycling side trips. A perfect holiday.- What was the date of your tour?

Darcy,
Thank you for sharing! It sounds like an amazing trip, and we’re so glad it exceeded your expectations. Lizelle and Wendel clearly made it extra special. And those photos! They make us want to head to South Africa right now!

Great trip
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
Overall it was a great trip. We had standard bikes and never had a problem with them. Our bags arrived with no problems.
It was lovely riding along the Danube and seeing different small towns in Austria. It was very hot when we were there with a head wind so some hard days but doable. - ★★★★★ Emma
Great trip
Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps
Very well organised. Lovely hotels. Superb helpline which we ended up using daily as one of our group was ill and couldn’t cycle most days. The help included the bike being transported on the days it couldn’t be cycled and when that couldn’t happen a new bike got delivered instead. Amazing.

Prima volta in bici
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
Volevo fare una vacanza all'aria aperta e con un pò di movimento. Il mio desiderio è stato esaudito. Mi è piaciuto molto il fatto di pedalare tutto il giorno e poi potermi fare una doccia e riposare in hotel belli con tutti i confort. Mi aspettavo dei paesaggi migliori durante le pedalate invece ho visto piste ciclabili eterne in mezzo a chilometri di campi. Ma come prima esperienza la valuto assolutamente positiva.

Could be better
Berlin – Copenhagen
Overall this was an amazing trip. However, there were some frustrating aspects as follows:
1. Route instructions were terrible. I stopped getting lost once I downloaded and used the GPS routes
2. I missed many sites of interest as the layout of the guidebook was pretty awful as well. For example, descriptions of sites of interest were several pages before or after the maps of specific towns. The company would benefit from starting over with their guidebooks and find a user experience expert to change layout.
3. Most lodging ranged from good to very good. However, several were either too far from town to find a decent place to eat, or more importantly very noisy making a restful night next to impossible. This factor of itself was enough to consider whether I would recommend this trip.
4. The last day was not an unpleasant way to end the trip given I had the choice of over 100 km or ride next to a busy highway for most of the day. The end point could be better through through. - ★★★★★ Lorena Rapoport
scenic route!
Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz
Our bike trip along the Mosel River was fantastic! The route was incredibly scenic, easy to follow using the map, and a wonderful way to stay active while exploring Germany’s beautiful wine country. I highly recommend this experience!

Great excursion
Camino de Santiago: From Leon to Santiago (Premium)
I had a btr time than I expected. My group got along great. The guides were wonderful and I am a first time e-bike mountain biker and that was quite an adventure. I had a lot of fun as feel accomplished too! As in I’m glad I finished the Camino and have a certificate to prove it.

Great way to see a whole different part of France
Atlantic Coast of France
Fascinating and beautiful area of France. I had already done a Bike and Barge trip in France and a hiking trip, all in the more central areas of the country. And been to Paris. But this trip, along the Atlantic coast, was stupendous. The bike paths were well marked and you are either biking along the coast or through vineyards. We upgraded the accommodations and all hotels were fabulous. My only thought is that this might have been better as a guided trip rather than self guided. We kept feeling like there was so much we were cycling through that would have been better with a guide. Finally - local tour company provided great bikes and their direction system (RoadBook) worked great.

Fabulous Way To Experience Provence!
Cycling Paradise of Provence - to and from Avignon
We had a wonderful 6 day self-guided cycle through Provence - the Biketours organisation was outstanding as were the e-bikes we hired. Our bags were collected on time every time and delivered to our next hotel with no issues. We downloaded our GPS files onto Komoot - the app worked brilliantly and the maps were detailed and accurate- 2 of our party downloaded the maps which ensured we stayed on the right path! We particularly enjoyed spending 2 nights in each town as it meant we didn't have to repack our bags every day. Most of the routes took us along lovely and well maintained cycle paths so we did not have to navigate too much through busy towns or big roads with lots of traffic. The ride was moderate as described - not too easy nor too difficult which left us feeling we had done enough exercise for the day without being exhausted. We took the standard package for the first and last hotels but upgraded the middle hotel (to Hotel Henri) which was well worth the extra spend as it was outstanding. The other 2 hotels, Hotel Central (Avignon) and Hotel L'Amandiere (St Remy) were decent - the rooms clean and spacious, however the staff were unfriendly. Hotel Central is well positioned allowing easy access to the old town. Hotel L'Amandiere is a 10min walk from town but has a very nice swimming pool - a great feature given the 40deg temps we were riding in! Just beware, if you arrive earlier than the 3pm check in, and you would like to use the pool, they are going to charge you an early check-in fee of around EUR25/room. All in all, a fantastic experience and one I would highly recommend. We thoroughly enjoyed being in the beautiful countryside and cycling up to the medieval villages without having to fight the traffic or the crowds.

Superb cycling experience from Porto to Obidos
Portugal's Coastal Splendor from Porto to Lisbon
Looked after very well from start to finish by Alberto and Ivo from Top Bike Tours Portugal, Helen and I enjoyed a superb 6 day cycling experience from Porto to Obidos in early May. Starting with a comprehensive briefing and supported by an (essential) guided departure out of Porto towards the coastal path, the overall experience was excellent. The supplied e-bikes were perfect for the route and had plenty of battery capacity. This included a 90km day when we chose to detour off the designated route to visit the gorgeous town of Aveiro (the 'Venice' of Portugal). The navigation app worked perfectly, which included being directed to our hotel at the end of each day's cycling. And we successfully followed up many of the recommended restaurants supplied in the information pack. Cycling down the Atlantic coast in early May was near perfect timing: not too hot and very little rain. Highly recommended!

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!!

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?
