★★★★★ Amy M August 8, 2018Unbelievably Amazing
· Cycling Spain’s Land of the Conquistadors
My husband and I took this self-guided tour in mid-June. It was the fourth trip booked through biketours. Despite hot weather (above 90 degrees farenheit every day) and elevation profiles that were definitely a bit more than anticipated, we loved this tour. The route was interesting, with lots to see. The Paradors were some of the nicest, most comfortable hotels I have stayed in as part of a cycling tour. The bikes were in good working order, and we didn't need assistance. The only thing to keep in mind is that Extremadura shuts down on Sundays, and services, especially groceries, are hard to come by. With the help of biketours and the local company, we booked a second night in the Monfrague National Park, which provided a much-needed day off the saddle, and the opportunity to take a bird watching tour with Monfrague Vivo. The trip was definitely an experience we won't soon forget!

Amazing Cycling Experience
· Cycling Spain’s Land of the Conquistadors
What a great trip! Just imagine staying in old castles as lodging and cycling from one castle to another going past ancient rivers and seeing condors fly right above you. That’s what you have in this trip. The cycling was challenging enough to keep myself engaged as an avid cyclist. The best part if this trip was going thru small towns and cycling in a part of Spain that isn’t talked about enough. Extremadura is an amazing place to visit!!!

★★★★★ Roz April 10, 2023London's best landmarks
· Love London Bike Tour
I was only in London for a day but I felt like I got a really good impression of the city from taking this tour. It was an amazing way to explore a large city from ground level – we covered far more of the city than I could have walked in a day and took in a lot of London’s most famous landmarks.
We were given the option of a men’s or ladies’ bike and were guided by Birgit, who kept us all safe and together despite us being quite a large group. Birgit was incredibly knowledgeable with lots of facts and interesting history that brought the landmarks to life.
We covered a lot of ground and really got to know the areas we explored. We saw the icons of London, like Buckingham Palace, Big Ben and Lambeth Bridge, cycled through several parks including Hyde Park, and were given the chance on Carnaby Street to lock up our bikes and go for a 30 min solo walk or visit a café. My favorite part was the Banksy Tunnel – as we biked through we could watch graffiti artists designing on the walls, and the ceiling was amazing! Overall, this was a great way to see the main icons of London in just a few hours.

★★★★★ Darren G. 1 month agothis is not Kansas anymore!
· Santa Monica & Venice Beach Bike Tour
This is a bicycle tour perfect for families, friends or solo travelers. The coast is stunning. The ride is pretty flat so unless you want to splurge don't get an ebike.

★★★★★ Ian Wilkes 9 months agoLovely cycle ride around Ljubljana
· Ljubljana Highlights Bike Tour
We had a day to see Ljubljana before heading off to Lake Bohinj, so a guided cycle ride around the town was the perfect way to see all the best parts of Ljubljana. The equipment was good. Safety was good, and the guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Our trip was on a Thursday morning and traffic was fine. Most of the route was on pedestrian areas., and predominantly flat so it wasn't very strenuous. We even had a stop at a restaurant for a drink. The group size was 6 people. We learnt a lot and thoroughly enjoyed it. Matius was the perfect guide. Would highly recommend.

★★★★★ Mike Specht 9 months agoEducational, relaxed and great afternoon
Classic Munster Bike Tour
Great experience. Rüdiger was our guide, and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, taking us on the town bicycle loop, to the nearby Aasee, Seitenflügel Palace, in-town churches, a local restaurant (while it rained) and other attractions. Overall, the City of Münster is wonderful and very biker friendly town. We are planning a return visit.
We didn't realize you needed to bring your own bikes (not clear in the description), but Rüdiger and our two other companions were very flexible in getting us to the main train station to rents bikes (only 9 Euros per bike for the day).
Also not to miss is the Saturday (or Wednesday) Wochenmarkt, which is set up amd available in the main square before the tour (only goes until 2p) .. great food and market items in a vibrant setting.
