    Amazing Adventure

    · Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps

    This trip was amazing. Hotels were great and breakfast very satisfying. Austria is beautiful, clean and the people friendly. We didn't want it to end.

  • Bike Paths of the Dolomites
    (4/5) Richard Bushnell 2 months ago

    Good ride second time around.

    · Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)

    Redid this ride as we wanted to include a few places we missed the first time. Our day hiking around Lago de Braies was not a stage, but worth the extra day. Also rode all the way out to Santa Magdalena. A very beautiful ride. Bikes were top line. Only difficulties were with transfer days due to mis-information & drivers who were not aware of meeting points. In all some great rides.

    A Wonderful Self Guided Bike Trip

    · Cycling Spain's Ebro River

    This trip was excellent in few respects.
    The organization, communication with the company and follow up by Inshaaf during the few weeks leading to the trip were efficient and timely.
    The routes were spectacular and both the written guides provided to us by IberoCycle and the RideWithGPS courses made the navigation easy and the stops easy to find.
    The inns were not luxurious but were nice, clean and functional. Breakfasts and dinners were great.
    This trip exceeded our expectations.
    We were wowed by the views of the countryside and beauty of many of the villages we cycled through.

  • Loire a Velo
    (4/5) Andres Volosin 2 months ago

    Great location, not the best hotel choises

    · Loire a Velo: Orleans to the Atlantic

    You should do better in some locations with the hotels. The last 4 day, not much to see. Is just pedaling to get to the next town. Dont do the 14 day unless you just like to pedal. Better rent a car in Nantes and continue that way to Le Croisic.

    (5/5) Steve H 2 months ago

    Krimml to Salzburg in 3 days

    · Tauern Bike Path (Krimml-Passau)

    This was our 2nd time to ride the Tauern Bike Path. This time, however, we shortened it to 3 days - Krimml to Salzburg, spent a few days in Salzburg and then to Prague by train. All 3 riding days were superb in displaying God's magnificence. Day 2, Zell am See to Lofer, was definitely the best of the 3 days. Hotels were superb in every way, even accommodating our request for gluten free and lactose free options for my wife at breakfast. Gasthof Hochmoos in Lofer is my all time favorite hotel in Europe, from accommodations to scenery and location. An easy downhill ride, but e-bikes make the trip more leisurely for any level of biker. There are a few short climbs but nothing too demanding. Happy to serve as a guide for anyone needing a helping hand!!!!

    (5/5) Tim H 2 months ago

    One of the best!

    · Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)

    This was our 10th bike trip with Biketours and our group of 6 had a wonderful time. Basing in a single hotel was unique and worked well with no packing/unpacking. The routes and the app from Fun Active, the local provider were great. Scenery was spectacular. Would highly recommend Hotel Lauris with its included excellent spa (great after a day of biking) and their included nightly 7 course dinners (maybe too much food??). Taylor, from Bike Tours, was very responsive and helpful, as usual.

  • The ultimate bike tour of unforgettable Versailles
    (5/5) Donna-Lee Langton 2 months ago

    Thoroughly enjoyable day.

    · Palace of Versailles Paris Full Day Bike Tour with Picnic

    I have nothing but positive things to say about our bike tour and the guided tour of Versailles. Great guide and really nice group of people. Riding through the palace grounds and the town was the perfect way to cover a lot of space without exhausting ourselves. Visiting the market and buying all of the items for a picnic was really fun. Having a picnic on the grounds of Versailles Palace, at the end of the Grand Canal with the palace in the background, was almost surreal.

    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.

  • Rhine Bike Path
    (5/5) Stuart Burns 3 months ago

    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.

    Really amazing trip, as the paths in the Netherlands and Belgium are first-rate and a biker's haven. Pieter from our tour company was awesome. First-rate bikes and the GPS on this trip were flawless, which is the first time after completing six tours that I could say that. Additionally, we appreciated the selection of hotels on this tour. Definitely looking forward to another bike trip in Holland.

    Romantic Danube

    · Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)

    This was our fourth time riding this trip. One can never tire riding this beautiful cycle path, the beautiful countryside, small town’s and villages, farms, orchards, city centers and buildings that are hundreds of years old, castles, etc. We prefer to go with the “Upscale Version “, perhaps a reflection of our age. The hotels and locations were excellent.
    We select the upgraded bikes and they were in perfect condition. We combined the “Tauren Krimml to Passau “ cycle route on this trip and enjoyed the ride immensely.
    I have worked with “Bike Tours.com” for many years now and really appreciate the excellent customer service and support!
