    Medieval Spain villages was amazing

    · Medieval Villages of Catalonia

    Spain is very bike friendly and the bikes/ (and pedal assist e-bikes) were of great quality. The Hotels on this trip were very comfortable and provided nice breakfasts. The rides each day were moderate as described. On the first 3 days , you ride alongside beach views. After that, you do some countryside rides. On every ride and evening there were a bunch of outside cafes to choose from. It was an excellent mix of scenery. Thanks.

    (5/5) Kenneth Waldhauser 10 months ago

    Amazing cycling in Puglia

    · Cycling in the Heart of Puglia

    We enjoyed the six days of cycling through the heart of Puglia. The local cycling group took great care of us. Our e-bikes were perfect: comfortable and easily powerful enough for this trip. We had great weather which made our travel very enjoyable. Accommodation was excellent. Great rooms and breakfasts. The ability to stop along the many rural paths and explore other towns in route was great. The nav app was good for points of interest, restaurants and the route was definitely off the beaten path and safe. The additional organic wine tasting ( exceptional), tuk tuk tour in Ostuni and olive oil tasting were fun and informative. Only small drawbacks were the nav device with satellite lagged inside the high ways of the old cities. The device worked great on my phone so we used both. Sometimes we saw trash on the roadside of some of the trails but mostly we just soaked in the amazing harvest of the olives, the groves, stone walls and in areas the vast vineyards and amazing stone farm houses including Trulli. The Trulli homes were actually better outside of the tourist areas. The app info of the route, elevation gain/loss was really helpful as you knew what was coming ahead. We swam in both the Adriatic and Ionian seas. App showed us which beaches- helpful. Also fun meeting other cyclists at hotels along the way and getting great info on other cycling adventures. This was our first but won’t be our last! Also recommend renting a pannier each- helps for extra gear. Our bikes had suspension which was essential and worked great on our bikes. This route overall great towns, countryside and we thought six days was perfect length. Ending in Lecce was great and we added another day to rest and explore,

    Perfect Trip and Exactly what I was looking for!

    · Cycling in the Heart of Puglia

    This trip was perfect in so many ways. The logistics were amazing from the great hotels to the perfect mileage on the bike each day. I appreciated the level of support that was just enough and not too much given I wanted the time to myself without too much engagement with the company. The bike was wonderful and the routes were full of beauty and adventure. I also really loved the time of year at the end of the season when things were quiet..including the roads! The team at biketours.com made the planning easy and they listened to exactly what I wanted out of the trip...interesting hotels and experiences. I can't say enough positive things about the experience. I will definitely be back for another trip!

  • Portugal's Atlantic Coast
    (5/5) Clyde Rogers 9 months ago

    A really fun bike trip

    · Portugal's Atlantic Coast

    We decided to try this tour as a way to see the countryside of Portugal, and it was a great success. We did the self-guided tour, so could stop where and when we wanted, and could set our own pace. We saw so many beautiful places that we never would've seen if we'd rented a car and figured out our own route.

    The routes were well curated, avoiding busy roads and difficult trails for the most part, and fit our abilities well. I used a hybrid bike for the low gearing (some of the climbs were steep, and I used the bike's lowest gears), and my wife used an e-bike. The e-bike was geared well for the climbs, and although we were initially worried about running low on battery, she always finished the day with plenty of power to spare.

    Our first two riding days were in a moderate steady rain. We had decent rain gear and both bikes had fenders, so we stayed dry and warm enough. We did the hybrid trail the first day, but switched to the paved version on the second because of the rain making the trails too muddy. I'd recommend just doing the paved version on any day with much rain.

    We took this ride the beginning of November. The temperatures were pleasant, but the days were short. We stopped where we wanted, looked at lots of interesting scenery and views, and visited off-the-beaten-path locations, but generally arrived at our destination near sundown. We were happy we added a free day for sightseeing in Sintra, and in retrospect, probably should've done the same in Obidos.

    We had an excellent trip, highly recommended!

  • Bolzano – Verona – Venice
    (5/5) bridget Harron 9 months ago

    Self-guided Northern Italy

    · Bolzano – Verona – Venice

    Great ride, E Bikes, 3 adults in their 70's and 80's.
    We had a wonderful self-guided ride about 220 miles on mostly- paved wide bike paths using the GPS tracks which we had previously downloaded and riding on our Girolibero bikes (which were in perfect shape). The travel guide emailed to us by Bike Tours was excellent, giving cultural information as well as the daily mileage requirement and tips on how to shorten our day using the local trains which we never found to be desired or necessary. The guide also included all the necessary vouchers for our hotels, ferry ride and free ice cream as well as travel info on getting to Bolzano. The ride itself was spectacularly beautiful, especially starting near the Dolomites and following the River Adige with mountains on the other side all the way down to Lake Garda.
    There was a detour programmed into our GPS tracks and also a surprise one which was not. We navigated that short detour pretty well for not speaking Italian thanks to the very helpful/understandable signage. We had selected three star hotels which we might change to four star for our next ride. The first three days the hotels and the breakfasts were top notch but after that got progressively more like 2 star hotels ending in Venice/Mestre where we were escorted to a refurbished garage behind the main hotel, not what we had hoped for on our last and only night in Italy. In terms of the bike route itself we found the 4 hour ferry ride on Lake Garda unfortunate as there is a bike path around the lake which we would have preferred. The ferry ride was totally fogged in so we could not enjoy the beautiful sights and there was no food or drink available on board -a long 4 hours to think about a glass of wine. On the whole, we loved the trip and would do it again- the mountains, the exercise, the cuisine, the history, the people. Getting to Bolzano when our flights landed in Venice was our biggest problem - we had trouble trying to decipher the train system. But then the Bolzano funicula ride and the adventure on the ridge line overlooking the city and the Dolomites in the distance made up for getting bogged down catching trains. Looking forward to our next self-guided E-bike adventure.

    (5/5) Raystrach 8 months ago

    Superb Bike Touring

    · UNESCO Sites of Albania

    This bike tour was a great introduction to Albania and it highlighted the rugged beauty of the country and the warmth and friendliness of the people. The tour had a great balance of challenging terrain and beautiful rolling countryside. If you are not so keen on the challenge, e-bikes are available, so there is no excuse not to take this tour.

    Some people questioned why we would go to Albania, fearing we might not be safe, but that was never an issue during the entire tour. We never felt anything but warmth and hospitality from the locals who would often wave and offer support as they drove by in their cars. That was a first.

    We selected the guided tour(we normally go self guided) as it included all meals and we are glad we did. The food was great almost without exception and our guide Arjan ensured we got plenty of variety over the duration of the tour. He also managed the group brilliantly, allowing a little freedom in the individual pace of different sub groups, so that everyone could go at their own pace depending on how they felt on the day. We were lucky to have him.

    The quality of the accommodation was a little uneven, but that was to be expected when a tour like this takes you to all parts of the country, from major towns to relatively remote provincial areas. All accommodation providers were doing their very best to give us an authentic Albanian experience. We got a good sense of the real Albania.

    If you take the decision to take this tour, you will not regret it. It was up there with the best tours we ever done.

    Jan 3rd monument tour with Joe

    · Washington DC Monuments & Memorials Bike Tour

    My 7 yo twins, my 10 yo son, & myself went on a 10am bike tour 1/3/25. It was amazing & so fun! The best way to see all the monuments without walking so much. My kids loved it! Joe was so patient & kind with the kids (they were slow at times & some biking mishaps.) He answered all the questions & took pictures for us! We will definitely do this again when we are in town! TO was very accommodating giving us a tandem bike & bikes to fit my kids :) overall very awesome! Joe gave us a great lunch recommendation at Nando’s nearby too.

    A great way to explore Central Park

    · Highlights of Central Park New York Bike Tour

    Central Park is HUGE so exploring it on bike makes perfect sense. After grabbing our bikes, we made our way the two blocks to Central Park and began our cycle.

    Our tour guide, Dan, was amazing, and made the tour that much better. The group was made up of 1 Irish, 2 English, and 2 Dutch and Dan found a way to bring all his facts back to our countries of origin. For example, when he gave us some facts about 5th Avenue as a shopping destination, he compared it to Grafton Street in Dublin, Bond Street in London, and I can't remember for Holland but I thought he went above and beyond. Dan played music along the way (yes, he takes requests) and made the tour so much fun. Not only did we get to see all the cool parts of the park, Dan is a fountain of knowledge when it comes to New York and told lots of great stories along the way.

    I highly recommend this tour. My only advice - if you're doing it in March like I did, bring extra warm gloves!
