Highly Recommend to Every Cyclist!
Loire a Velo: Orleans to the Atlantic
Great Overall Biking Trip. The scenery was splendid and loved cycling up to chateaus. As an intermediate cyclist it was a relatively easy trip. The bikes and navigation signs/written information was the best we've had (and this was our 6th trip.)

Accomodations, mapping, everthing was well done.
Berlin – Copenhagen
This was the best way to the country side, small towns, sea shores, and larger cities of Germany and Denmark. Rooms were lovely, clean and inviting.

Greece was surprising!
Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
The landscape was amazing, from the Fraser Fir trees to the beaches our ride was wonderful. The GPS needs updating as many of the roads are small.

Tour of a lifetime!
Medieval Villages of Catalonia
We came from Canada and were utterly enchanted by the beauty and wonder we found on our 7-day Medieval Villages Tour hosted by Daniel at Creative Catalonia. This tour exceeded our very high expectations.
We loved the ease of connections between the outstanding hotels - each one packed with views, comfort, luxury and amazing breakfasts. The digital maps and tracking were brilliant support, and Daniel helped us immediately if we had any issues. We did have a flat tire, but we had all we needed to fix it and get back on the road quickly. And Daniel replaced our inner tube that day. We could focus entirely on the adventures offered every day of the tour.
And the adventures! From discovering the great food and beauty of the Costa Brava, to the history, charm and calm of the villages we cycled through, we felt fully immersed in each experience. We stopped often and took in many sights and opportunities - the Dali Castle, the beaches, and the village of Pals were highlights, but every day the cycling and the sights were fabulous.
We opted for electric bikes, and in our 60’s that was a wonderful choice. We also opted for the 7th day mountain climb - and we are so glad we did, we will never forget the views, and the bragging rights will last a life time. The electric bikes made all the difference, we wouldn’t have been able to make the trek without them. And the 12 km mountain decent was worth every penny - what a payoff, absolutely the most fun I’ve ever had on a bike!

First bike trip and it was wonderful
Florence to Rome
We took this tour about 6 years ago and it was wonderful then. Can't say anything bad about the trip. We went in May and there was a heat wave, it reached 37C the day we arrived in Perugia.

Amazing trip through Tuscany
Tuscany Getaway: 4 Nights in Siena, Montalcino & Pienza
What a great trip we had! Biking through Tuscany was truly the experience of a lifetime. Although the weather wasn’t great, the accommodations that were provided, along with the bikes and equipment were 5-stars.

great trip
Camino de Santiago: From Porto to Santiago de Compostela
The local Portugal tour company was excellent. The tour guide, Daniel, was wonderful. Our rented bikes, Ebike and mountain, were good and appropriate for the varied surfaces on the trip. Restaurant choices, meals and hotels were very good. It was a great trip.

Very enjoyable island loop
Majorca: A Loop Tour of the Beautiful Balearic Island
We hadn't been to Majorca before. This was a great way to explore it. The maps were excellent and the bikes were good quality city / touring bikes. The Euro-bike stickers on street signage are really helpful.

Best Possible organization!
Split to Dubrovnik: The Islands and Coastline of Croatia
Aside from the beautiful scenery of Croatia, Tomislav and the folks at Meridien Ten travel provided really outstanding material for our self-guided tours. The route sheets were easy to follow and much clearer than I have seen on other tours, and all the arrangements were faultless. Also, our group had some complications during the first day, and Tomislav went out of his way to help us out. This involved some extra driving on his part and when I attempted to at least pay for the gasoline, and he refused. Really fabulous folks - I definitely recommend traveling with them in Croatia. The only thing I would change was the selection of the hotel Lacroma in Dubrovnik - for me this hotel was too large and crowded. The front desk was overwhelmed with tour groups and could not keep things straight.

2019 Mosel Bike Path After Action Report
Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz
The best way to explore the beautiful Mosel River Valley from Trier to Koblenz, and then the Rhine from Koblenz to St. Goar. The bikes were in excellent shape and the in-country issue and briefing was perfect. The hotels were very good. For our late April early May trip the weather cooperated perfectly. The morning temperatures were cool but by mid-day we could enjoy lunch at a sidewalk at one of the many scenic small towns along the route. We booked 2 extra days in Trier with the tour company to allow us to explore the city before departure. We were very happy with the hotel they chose and the competitive price we paid for the extra nights.

Perfect Danube Bike Tour
Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
Very enjoyable tour of a lifetime without crowds, with beautiful scenery, and with great lodging. My wife, whose last biking adventures were in her middle and high school days, proved a super biker, enjoying the exercise, scenery and challenge of biking the scenic Danube bike path. The bikes, delivered at our start hotel along with the tour package, were in excellent condition and functioned perfectly. A knowledgeable in-country guide met us at the start hotel to explain the tour information, the route instructions, bikes and equipment. The provided materials allowed us to effortlessly self navigate. After hours each day on the bike the upscale lodging met or exceeded our expectations and was greatly enjoyed. The weather mostly cooperated, spring beauty abounded, and the temperatures were perfect. We are planning our next biking adventure on the Mosel and Rhine and plan to again use BikeTours.com.

First trip to Portugal, won’t be the last!
Gravel Biking from Alentejo to the Algarve
The local tour company was amazing! Checked in with us every day since we self guided. Bikes were great as were the hotels. We would highly recommend this tour for mountain bikers who who want less challenge or road bikers who want more.

Amazing Trip!
Best of Slovenia: Highlights Across the Country From Bled to Piran
We just returned from this adventure (September 5-16, 2026) and can’t speak highly enough of the people and sights of Slovenia we experienced! We did the self-guided version of the trip and here are our thoughts and recommendations:
CONS - The only slightly negative comment we have is that the hybrid Trek bikes we selected were too heavy and not geared well for some of the hills we encountered. We are experienced cyclists from Colorado and used to steep terrain but not on bikes with kick stands and fenders! We would recommend either e-bikes or requesting upgrades to true road/bikes to more thoroughly enjoy this beautiful country.
PROS:
The local bike tour operator did and outstanding job with all aspects of our trip. The GUIBO app that they use was excellent with only a couple of instances where the audio direction didn’t match the mapped route on the screen. Lots of route info including sights as well as elevation profiles.The hotels were consistently great and varied from a small family run hotel with 5 rooms to a large chain hotel (M Hotel in Ljubljana). The breakfasts all had many options including some vegan choices for my partner. As mentioned in other reviews, the M Hotel is a mile or so from the historic city center but is a nice walk in good weather and an easy bus ride in rainy weather like we had that day.
The food was outstanding and we never lacked for local cuisine favorites including pastas, pizzas and wine!
The route that TO selected highlighted amazing sights of Slovenia including Lakes Bled and Bohinj, Pradjema castle, Postojna and Skojanska caves and the beautiful city of Piran on the coast.
The best part of our trip were the generous, warm people of Slovenia. In every town or city, we encountered people who offered a genuine, welcoming spirit and an obvious love for their country. We will definitely return to this wonderful country!

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.

Provence self-guided
Provence’s History, Landscapes, and Luberon National Park
Excellent tour through spectacular scenery & history. Good hybrid bikes & hotels. Only complaint is self-guided directions are a little sketchy. GPS routing definitely a big help, but had a couple glitches too (e.g. bridge out on one back-road trail!). Highly recommend this tour, would be perfect if GPS routing was spot on.
