A great way to start exploring Europe by bike!
Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers
This trip was great! The route we followed was very doable for everyone in the group, with mostly paved trails and followed well-posted rivers. Our hotels were each unique, charming and comfortable. Every city we stayed in had things so see on a short walk and all the meals were great! Our guides were knowledgeable, kind, and great company. Every day felt unique and the group got closer with every ride and shared dinner together. This trip was definitely a great memory that I will cherish for years to come.

Wonderful trip!
Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring
Catalonia was fabulous! We were met by Daniel to review routes and safety tips before heading out on our 8 day biking tour. Daniel was very helpful and even pointed out on the GPS restaurants, coffee spots and picture spots. Hotels were wonderful and very accommodating. The bike routes were beautiful from agriculture to medieval villages to the Mediterranean Sea. We had a wonderful time and will definitely do a bike tour again

Innsbruck to Lake Garda
Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps
Beautiful is the only way to describe scenery. Only thing difficult about this trip were the directions! Had problems almost every day getting out of cities. Particularly difficult in Merano. Circled city in dangerous conditions trying to get to trail.

Vienna bike day tour
Classic Vienna Bike Tour
The tour covered many great sites in Vienna. The bikes were good. It was easy to get to the shop where the tour started. Unfortunately, the tour guide spoke so softly that I couldn’t hear a word she said unless I was standing right next to her. I have no idea if what she said was useful. If she is going to speak that softly, the tour needs a mic and headset system.

Eastern Europe 2025
Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
All in all an excellent trip. The bike tour team in Europe and the U. S. were very helpful and friendly. The navigation app on the whole was helpful, but at times didn’t work. The hotels varied from excellent to good. The directions to the Barokk Hotel (Gyor) were confusing. The bikes were excellent. We had no issues.

Superb cycling through the beautiful Tyrolean mountains and valleys of Austria and northern Italy
Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps
Two days up (Austria) and four days down apart from the uphill bits (Italy) with the Reschen Pass in between - pretty much sums up the highly scenic cycling tour from Innsbruck to Lake Garda.
The supplied navigation app downloaded onto your mobile phone works very well - and although the largely paved route is generally very well marked - knowing exactly where you are at all times is both comforting and essential. But your mobile phone battery needs to be in a good state - and it's highly recommended to carry a back-up battery pack.
Overall, the hotels are good (3* & 4*) as are the breakfasts, with the best (Mirage at Lago del Garda) saved for last! But the navigation app does not lead you to your hotel. Upon reaching the day's destination (usually the town or village centre) it's necessary to do a bit of research (eg Google maps) to learn where you need to be that night. Which can be anything from a couple of hundred metres to several kilometres away. Also, deviating off the route (planned or otherwise!) can be a challenge, particularly in the larger villages or towns. This applies in particular to Rovereto as the cycle route skirts the town, but detouring to the historic centre is neither obvious nor easy.
The baggage shuttle service works well, and only once did I reach my destination first - but only had to wait ~20 minutes.
The supplied e-bike ran well and has an excellent battery capacity. The (non-derailleur) gear change system took a bit of getting used to as you need to stop pedalling when changing up or down. Not at all intuitive when used to a derailleur! But an e-bike is not essential for this tour - especially if opting for the shuttle from Landeck to Nauders.
Overall, an excellent and well planned self-guided tour: highly recommended!- What was the date of your tour?

Wonderful way to experience Italy
Venice to Mantova by Bike and Boat (and reverse)
This was our second boat and bike trip with bike tours.com and we loved them both. I enjoyed the smaller group on the Ave Maria, and the crew was fabulous. The best way to experience a new country is on a bike traveling through the countryside. And biketours.com makes everything easy.

Wonderful scenery.
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
A wonderful way to see the Atlantic Coast. I found it to br much harder than expected because of the many hills, some of which were very steep. I requested an e-bike at the end of the first day and it was organised and delivered to Obidos the next morning. This made all the difference to my enjoyment of the tour. I was very impressed with the bikes, tour information, and staff. Overall it was a wonderful experience.

Very fun way to experience a deeper part of Spain
Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway
We are two women and we chose this self-guided tour on e-bikes as it was in the location that worked for our traveling schedules and we liked that it would take us from the mountains to the sea. E-bikes for us were the way to go as it gave it ease when we wanted it and challenge if we wished to work a little harder. Almost all the biking is through scenic areas with low to no traffic (along the greenways) and from higher elevations with beautiful green forests and valleys, to the lower lands with olives, truffles and oranges. We really enjoyed the variety of scenery even within a single ride, and loved stopping along the way in villages or at little restaurants to sit and enjoy. All the accommodations were better than expected so we were pleasantly surprised by this along with delicious buffet breakfasts at every location. The only part of the trip that was less enjoyable was getting into Canet you have to ride through some pretty industrial parts (though on a well marked bike path) but on the main road which was different; and again riding through the streets (again an incredible network of bike paths!) in Valencia. In Rubielos de Mora the hotel was especially awesome and they had an excellent Spa that we took full advantage of (for an extra fee). Albarracin is an amazing old city that we also thoroughly enjoyed. The local company was excellent as well with logistics and routes. All in all it was a super fun adventure and I can highly recommend it!
TIPS:
Download the Ride with GPS App and learn how to use it before your trip so you can receive and use the gpx files that give you the routes. Make sure to download the routes each day for OFFLINE use.
Bring biking gloves
Once you have the routes is super easy to find your way.
They give you a paneer and a bike kit but only one bike was fitted with the phone holder ~ maybe request one for each bike so you all have access to the route and easy access to a camera. We took a lot of photos but it was hard to access the second camera as the paneers have no outside pocket.
We needed a lot of sunscreen and layered clothing.
In Canet call ahead of time and ask for a room with a sea view.
If you are sensitive to traffic noise ~ in Valencia ask for a room high up and away from the main street or better yet maybe they can book you an accommodation in the Old City: Same for Teruel. The other towns are small and quieter.
You are responsible for your bikes during the trip so make sure they are always in a safe location.Take your time and enjoy!

Perfect in every way
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
Everything about this trip was 100%. The rides were spectacular. Our guides and all the staff on the boat were really great. The ship was so comfortable. Chrisya made sure everything and everyone’s needs were met. And my fellow passengers were all lovely people. 13 people and 7 different nationalities made it really fun and interesting.

Good way to experience Germany and Denmark. Bike was a bit funky. Route was fabulous. With a Garmin, navigating was easy. Without would have been difficult.

Fun mix of bike & boat
Denmark and Sweden by Sail and Bike
This was our third biketours trip and it was a great one. The scenery wasn't as awe inspiring as the Dolomites trip, and the historical sights weren't as strong as the Catalonia trip, but it was a pleasant trip in two great countries.
The rides weren't difficult, the boat was fun, the food was great.

Great trip
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique II (and reverse)
Great way to see Belgium and The Netherlands! Such beautiful scenery along the bike routes. Riding was mainly on a path. Tour guides were wonderful ensuring everyone’s safety and giving us history of the area along the route.

My first time in Italy
Dolomites to Venice Along the Old Dolomites Railway Track
We had a wonderful days in Italy biking from Toblach to Mestre. The bikes was very fine and the hotels too. When we had a rainy days and came very wet to our hotels there where lack of places where we could dry our things. All the hotels where very good with nice staff, good rooms and bed and breakfast and save place for our bikes. Everything from Bike tours was 100 % and we will definitely find another trip with them. Thank you.

Beauty on the Bicycle
UNESCO Sites of Albania
From start to finish, our guides Tani and Tani made it a memorable worry free vacation! We tried so many ethnic foods and the 3 meals were substantial and delicious each day. The e-biking was breathtaking with beauty and maybe some cows, donkeys or sheep around a corner.
Riding through the countryside was like stepping back in time with children saying hello from their front yards and the farmers working in their fields.
The UNESCO sites were interesting and informational.
Each turn was a new view with valleys, mountains and beautiful blue water. The routes were safe with our guides letting us know when traffic would be busier on roads. I was happy to have an e-bike with the elevation and knowing I could make this trip as easy or hard as I wanted.
Lodging was very nice with one of my favorite days was staying at a farm in the countryside. If you are thinking about this trip, book it.
The journey through Albania is the reward!- What was the date of your tour?

Great experience
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
They say cycling is the ideal pace of travel, fast enough that the scene is always changing but slow enough that you can take much of it in. While the App is at time challenging to give accurate information when you need it on the whole it was a huge plus over using paper maps and probably better than Google Maps.
The accommodation was of mixed standards, some of it in less ideal locations and/or looking tired on the outside but internally the rooms were all clean, comfortable and with excellent showers.
We were lucky with the weather but if you got a good soaking every day you may struggle to dry kit, but the bag moving service worked impeccably, sometimes the bags were even waiting in our rooms rather than the lobby.
The question is would we do it again and would we use bike tours and the answer to both is yes. The support was very good and the experience was memorable, hugely enjoyable and a little bit of an adventure.- What was the date of your tour?

Hotels exceeded expectations…except 1 palace.
Pedalo app was excellent….a few small errors.
Unable to get a proper fitting helmet. One size does not fit all. Ended up buying a large helmet.
