  • Amsterdam to Bruges on Magnifique II
    (5/5) Wendy 2 months ago

    Bike and Barge Adventure

    · · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique II (and reverse)

    A wonderful week of fresh air, exercise, amazing food, beautiful scenery, and great people.
    We cycled through small towns, across farmland, and into large cities. The scenery was spectacular. Having to stop to wait for 100 cows to move from one field to another was a quirky countryside highlight. Traveling down 31 metres by elevator, then cycling through a 521 metre long tunnel under the River Scheldt, and returning to surface level on escalators was a large city highlight.
    All of the crew were dedicated, cheerful, and knowledgeable. One of our guides was from Belgium (Jordy) and other from the Netherlands (Hetty) and the friendly banter between them was fun. Hetty shared stories relating to many sights and Jordy bought us local treats to taste.
    The host (Vio) and hostess (Sophie) were always ready to help out and were incredibly kind. The chef (Steven) prepared amazing meals and there was always delicious food available. No losing weight, despite the physical activity. When we returned to the barge or watched it sail by as we rode, the crew smiled and waved at us, making us feel like family.
    I would highly recommend this trip.

    We thoroughly enjoyed our trip from Bruges to Amsterdam aboard the Magnifque IV. The crew was amazing and very responsive and charming. The routes took us through incredible scenery and the tidbits shared by the guides kept us engaged. There wasn't a bad thing about the trip and we can't stop talking about it to our friends. We are looking at which trip to take next. Thank you for a wonderful experience and travel adventure.

    Such a great trip!

    · Medieval Villages of Catalonia

    We were hesitant to take a non-guided tour at first, but it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The roots were interesting and the directions were great, and we got to take all of the roots on our own time and our own schedule. The hotels were wonderful, and the routes through the different seaside towns and medieval villages were fantastic! Daniel was communicative, responsive, and really helpful. Could not have been a happier with our trip!

    A perfect way to experience this quieter part of Ireland. The scenery was beautiful and the Irish people are so kind and welcoming. We didn't realize Ireland had such beautiful beaches! Inishbofin was the highlight of our trip. We were very happy with our lodging. A nice mix of B&B's and small hotels. Biking is a wonderful way to see the country.

  • Würzburg to Donauwörth
    (3/5) Jen D 2 months ago

    Beautiful Scenery

    · Romantic Road from Würzburg to Donauwörth

    We found the first half of this tour fabulous. Wurzburg was a highlight, especially since we were there during wine festival - it was very lively. For the first 3 days we enjoyed riding through lots of little towns and took our time enjoying coffee/lunch stops. It was interesting to see the scenery change during the second half (more rural farms). We found, however, that there were fewer little towns to stop in or explore. This made stopping for coffee/lunch challenging or impossible. Luggage transfer was totally reliable. Hotels were a bit of a mix. GHotel in Wurzburg was nice, but basically a big box hotel by a busy road. Hotel Gerberhaus in Rothenburg was quirky - the room was small and hot, the shower didn't work well. Hotel Sinas Brettl in Nordlingen was quite disappointing - they seemed to be building the hotel as they ran it. We arrived early afternoon and there was no one present except a construction worker. We killed time at a coffee shop and came back. The same construction worker called the hotel owner who explained where our key was. We stepped over cords etc. to get to our room which was set up for just 1 person. It was loud. Hotel Zu den Drei Kronen in Donauworth was fine, not special. Our room had 2 twin beds - looked like a university dorm room. It was also set up for just 1 person. Staff quickly addressed that. I will also note that we were worried about the weather for a few days, so rushed more than usual. We wondered what we would have done had we been caught in a lightening storm with no towns nearby. Overall we enjoyed our trip, but the hotels need more attention and some of the routes should consider stops for lunch/rests. Bikes were excellent.

    · · Bruges – Amsterdam by Bike and Boat

    This trip was so fun! Meeting new people, being active during the day, and eating three meals together was like being in an adult summer camp. The staff was incredibly responsive to our needs - from the guide, to the captain and crew, and chef on board. The meals were incredible - and some of the best food I have ever had. It was a great way to be introduced to biking - amazing!

    From The Mountains To The Sea

    · Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula

    From start to finish the trip was tremendously engaging. We covered beautiful and varied landscape. Time in the mountains and time on the water, could not have been much nicer. The high mountains were a ncie cool temperature and the sea was comfortably warm. All the biking was pleasant and manageable. It was a great family trip for the 4 of us. And, it was something that we hadn't done in a number of years. We are quite grateful that everything was so well organized. Support all along the way could not have been better. Highly highly recommend the trip.

    The REAL Greece Experience

    This was one of the most (if not THE most) enjoyable tour we have done in Europe with Biketours.com
    The itinerary was excellent - each day was quite different. Some of the little portside villages we called into were exquisite as were the local people & food we enjoyed along the way. The bikes were superb as was the navigation system which never let us down. The briefing we received at Sparta (Fotus) & support along the way was first class. All in all a brilliant ride where we really soaked up the glorious sights, sounds & smells of the beautiful Pelopenese.

    · Cycling the West Balkan Triangle

    The chosen route was well designed, and both the guide and the support driver did a great job leading the group, clearly explaining the route in advance every day and prioritizing the group’s safety and comfort. The route's duration and difficulty level are suitable for well-trained road cyclists, though there is always the option to ride with an e-bike.
    The organization should pay closer attention to the standard of the hotels. While some exceeded expectations in terms of accommodations and service—such as Hotel Perla—others should be removed from the hotel offering, such as Hotel Marija 2.

    Our guides were attentive, instructive, fun and so loaded with historical facts! Oriana led at the front and Roberto (Mr Bean) kept us safe and entertained. We loved the narrow streets and energy of the city. We have brought visitors to this group several times and it’s always a highlight. Even if you need to take it slow, it’s ok, you’ll be taken care of and have a great time. I bring a water and a snack but they do make a stop at a beautiful lookout that has vendors for water and lemonade (think TART). Don’t be afraid! E-bikes are a blast!

    The biketour along the Portugal's Atlantic Coast was one of our best bike tours, of many. We experienced a wonderful nature, with steep cliffs, long sand beaches, green landscape, and with numerous villages in between, both idyllic and historic. Before start, the guide gave us a thorough introduction of what to see and expect. Under way, we had very good help of tour maps and trip plan in mobile apps. Alternative routes were helpful, for adapting our energy for elevation and road surface. We found the hotels to be both inviting and comfortable. Bikes were new and very good.

    Great

    · · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)

    Enjoyed the trip. We enjoyed the scenery. We enjoyed the barge. The floors of the barge are stunning. All the personnel were wonderful and I appreciated there pitch-in attitude. My only suggestion in regarding the biking, is that because E bikes now allow folks who are not bikers on these trips, that the groups always be divided into two. That first day when we had such a large group going through busy Ghent was uncomfortable. Those at the front asked to wait at corners, waited over 15 minutes isolated and it was not clear if we were going to have the Support to find the boat. I suggest also a discussion about not letting big gaps form within the same group, so those being supportive at the corners are not waiting. ( I’m not suggesting that they ride right behind someone, just not perhaps multiple hundred yard gaps. Really loved the tour.
