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

    So much fun!

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

    This trip had it all - new friends, good food, interesting and beautiful cities, history and bicycling. However the bicycling was quite easy. I wish the route maps were updated so that we could have added more miles and ridden on our own especially when the groups were quite large.

    Outstanding Bike Path & Landscape

    · Lake Constance Bicycle Path

    In most location there were separate bike paths and no possible danger from automobiles. Only challenge were the directions. Just not clear for a first timer on this trip. Scenery was magnificent: bucolic countryside dotted with charming old villages. Hotels varied. Delivery of forwarded luggage excellent and timely. Most hotel breakfasts were fresh and first class.

    An Amazing Adventure

    · UNESCO Sites of Albania

    All I can say is WOW!
    But actually I will say a bit more.

    The scenery, the food, the people, the guides and of course the climbs- all made for an amazing 8 day journey in Albania.
    Our guide Arjan was simply the best! He quickly got to know all 19 riders and made sure that we were comfortable with our bikes, rooms, etc His encouragement kept me going on those long and arduous climbs. Our driver and bike mechanic was a whizz on the road and with bike tools.
    I loved the variety of places in which we stayed- from farmstays to luxury seaside hotels.
    And the food- this is one of the only bike tours I have been on where every meal was provided. And it wasn't just peanut butter sandwiches. We were treated to a wide array of Albanian dishes - including lots of veggies, cheeses and freshly caught fish.
    I am 70 and chose a road bike. While it was incredibly difficult at times, I am glad I stuck with my own pedal power. However, e-bikes are a fantastic option and unless you are a proficient climber, I would highly recommend an e-bike.
    We had an incredible group of riders from around the world- from Australia to the US with numerous European countries in between.
    The value of this tour was amazing. I give the tour company a lot of credit for providing a fantastic tour at a reasonable price.
    The only recommendation I would have is to either limit the group to a smaller number or add an additional guide or helper.
    Thanks for am amazing adventure!

    (5/5) Stanley Holman June 9, 2023

    Excellent tour.

    · Medieval Villages of Catalonia

    This self-guided tour was easily managed. The cycling was moderate, and most of the route was on either dedicated bike routes or calm roads. A reasonably accomplished cyclist would not need to dis-mount for the occasional steep or rough section (always short.) There was plenty of time to move from hotel to hotel and there were only 3 days when a move was required. There were numerous opportunities for refreshments along the way. AND the scenery was grand! Such a lovely way to see the countryside - riding through farmed fields, villages and towns. Able to smell the air and the scents of the flowers, hear the birds and feel the sun and the breeze. It was a great experience. And the hotels were excellent with delicious breakfasts.

    An Ideal Vacation

    · · Mosel & Saar by Bike & Boat

    Riding the Mosel River in Germany is to experience seven days of sheer beauty of countless vineyards planted in a wild geometry on the steep valleys along the river. The villages with the profusion of flowers bursting from every window make you feel you have stepped into a story book. I've done this trip twice. Once with a regular bike and once with an Ebike. The Ebike is easier, of course, but the regular bike was very doable for an 84 year old who is just a weekend rider.

    E bike ride

    · Granada, White Villages and Costa del Sol

    Great way to see Spain off the beaten track. New e bikes from Bicicletas La Estacion in Granada, we had an issue with brakes on one of the bikes and GPS running out of battery on our way to Loja, Antonio picked up, fixed and returned bike same night and brought back up battery for the GPS. We really recommend renting the GPS as map books are difficult to follow. Ground handler, Jorge, was awesome, he was in contact with us daily and responded immediately to any issues we had. Caminito del Rey is unbelievably beautiful, but don’t go with high expectations of Hotel La Gargantua as it is comfortable, but it is nothing like the other hotels and Paradors which exceeded expectations. We stayed two nights in Antequera and Ronda which we recommend. If you are on an ebike, conserve your battery as much as you can from Caminito to Ronda as it is a good climb. Lastly, dealing with Penelope from Bike tours.com made the planning of the trip effortless.

    Amazing Trip

    · Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest

    My wife and I had an amazing adventure down the Danube. Accommodations were lovely, charming, distinct, beautiful. Hosts were gracious and hospitable. We purchased the half board, and the meals were generous, delicious, and varied. The European colleagues were available for assistance, and were helpful. The bike path from Passau to Vienna was extremely well maintained, and in most places very clearly marked. The path from Vienna to Budapest included several river crossings (some by boat), and while the path seemed less clearly marked and in some stretches was less well developed (gravel & field paths), the GPX files provided by the team in Vienna provided exact navigation. The US colleagues were wonderful to work with in arranging the trip details.
