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!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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?

Classic River bike ride
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
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.

Amazing Trip
Amsterdam to Bruges: Cycling through South Holland and Zeeland
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!- What was the date of your tour?

Fantasic experince!!!
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
We enjoyed our trip from Passau to Austria. The local tour operator, Pedalo, did a great job interfacing with the hotels, moving our luggage and taking care of any issues with our bikes. Gave us everything we needed to succeed!
A few notes:
a) Be aware that the first two days are among the longer legs of the trip, so be prepared to leave early those days
b) The route goes on both sides of the Danube pretty much continuously, with a few diversions onto local roads from separated bike paths. You do not have to follow the recommended route if you want to check out something on the other side or save a few Euros from the bike ferries, but the planned route is a good one to follow. If you just follow the R1 / Danauweg signs toward the right towns you will be fine.
c) The hotels vary widely in quality and level of staffing. Check them out yourself during the booking process.We used regular bikes - if you choose e-bikes be sure you understand the range capabilities and where you can charge your bikes in the middle of the day if needed.

Stunningly Beautiful
Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)
This was my third trip with Bike Tours and it did not disappoint! The setting at Hotel Laurin in Toblach, Italy was stunningly beautiful! Every ride surrounded you with mountain views. Most of the paths were paved and well marked. There were only a few moments of confusion regarding the path to take. Hotel Laurin was very accommodating and served excellent gourmet meals every night and a hearty breakfast in the morning. At the hotel, there were several saunas and a steam room as well as an outdoor pool that awaited you at the end of your ride. The only concern I had was the initial confusion around the maps and rides that were self-guided as well as how these particular e-bikes operated (the e-bikes were great once you figured out the mechanics of them). An orientation by the rental bike company, Fun Active Tours, that provided the maps and bikes, would have been most helpful; and, I was not the only guest who thought an orientation would be helpful. I also had a problem with my attempt to rent a helmet from Fun Active Tours that responded in a less than accommodating way. However, Bike Tours considered my situation and responded most helpfully. In all, it was a fabulous trip which I would highly recommend! Elaine Kubicki

bike tour expands your reach
Welcome to Tallinn Bike Tour
Nice tour, distance was okay with frequent stops. Advantage with the bike tour: you see some sights, which you wouldn't do if you are on foot. Pleasantly surprised by some nice cycle paths in the harbour area. The route avoids busy road traffic.

Unforgettable experience
Ionian Islands Multi-sport Family Cruise
Me, my husband and 2 daughters ages 10 and 6 enjoyed this experience! The tour guides Katerina and Isabelle were wonderful and so was the crew. The meals on board were also good. This tour is geared toward children, which is great as the bike rides are appropriately challenging for them. One thing that could have made our experience better is better sleep. Going to bed early is challenging in this environment because the rooms on the boat are right next to living quarters, yet sleep is essential especially for young kids. This could have been accomplished by adjusting the schedule to start the engine at 8 instead of 7 and possibly cruising more in the late evening instead of the first 3 hours of the day.
Overall we had a memorable experience and loved the bike rides, unique experience of sleeping on a boat, getting to know other families, and of course the swim stops for paddle boarding, snorkeling and kayaking.- What was the date of your tour?

Our fourth time riding this route over the years. Everything was great! Bike Tours.com did an amazing job organizing and handling our requests.
The bikes, hotels, GPS routing, etc were all great.
