Great bike ride through Paris!
Paris Highlights Bike Tour
We loved our cycle through Paris. Rode by many of the iconic sites, easy to cycle on the bike paths with our knowledgable guide! She was great! Had such knowledge of the history !
She was also very helpful in finding the official Olympics store for me. Thank you!- What was the date of your tour?

The absolute best thing we did in Paris!
Private Paris Bike Tour
HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Christian was a fantastic tour guide-- kind, knowledgeable, fun, gracious, adventurous and so delightful. We were a bit skeptical about how much our 4 boys (ages 9, 13, 15 and 17) would like yet another Paris tour (after a bus tour, boat tour and exploring on foot for hours), but our 4-hour bike tour was an absolute blast. We got to see all of the major historical sights and tourist attractions-- except Christian gave us much more context and fun information. He also took us to some beautiful hidden spots that really captured the essence of Parisian life for locals and some beauty we'd have never found ourselves with a big group. Wish we'd had another day to do a tour to Versailles with biketours.com and Christian.

Land of Castles and Wine
Metz and Cochem Premier Version
We went on the bike-boat tour in mid-October towards the end of the boat's sailing season. The weather had been rainy the week before, but the towns and castles on the route were captivating when the sky cleared up. The bike paths in Germany and Luxembourg were wide and easy to navigate with the help of our guides. We enjoyed learning of the interesting history of castles and the Roman introduction of wine growing in the Moselle region. Some of the towns had more tourists than I expected for the time of the year, but the number of tourists subsided in the evenings.
We had a good number of café stops on the bike for rest breaks and rehydration. The delicious meals on board were artfully and expertly prepared by the resident chef and served by a friendly and helpful crew.
Our room was small with 2 single beds on opposite sides of the room and had a small attached bathroom with a shower. We didn't mind the small size much since much of the day was spent on the bike. The beds were comfortable, and the room was made every day by the crew.
We visited many castles, as there seems to be at least 1 for each city we visited. One excursion that we paid extra for was a Wine Experience tour in Bernkastel-Kues, Germany. The tour described the different wines in the Moselle region and provided tasting samples of varieties. The tour included fun novelties such as the mirror room and the social media ready Wine Queen prop.
We enjoyed meeting and riding with the 28 other guests on the boat. Many were experienced bike tourists, and all had a good time sharing their experiences.- What was the date of your tour?

An easy and beautiful bike and barge tour
Metz and Cochem Classic Version
The barge was extremely comfortable and the staff were wonderful. The cycling was quite easy (longest day was 44km) and our guides were professional and very helpful. Food was delicious and there was plenty of it, including to prepare take away lunches. Scenery was spectacular, cycle paths were clear and uncrowded, and villages and towns we stopped at were interesting.

Very fun, beautiful and worth the time and money
Loire Valley & Chambord E-Bike Tour with Food Tasting
It was a fantastic way to look at the area . We are a very active couple on honeymoon and this tour was perfect for us . The booking process was not easy as it is the shoulder of the season and it ended up being much more expensive than what they said in the beginning but it was beautiful and much longer than we originally thought

Trip of my dreams!
Wine, Dine and Electric Bike in Burgundy
The perfect way to France! Our guide was great - a very knowledgeable local and wine. He loves his hometown (Burgundy) so much. We enjoyed our journey safely with him. The hotels were very charming and comfortable. The meals were perfect.

Amazing bike trip down the Loire
Custom and Private Bike Tours in France
We loved our custom bike trip we did with friends in the Loire River valley in France! Most of trip was on dedicated bike trails and one-lane roads shared with the occasional car. The 4 star hotels exceeded our expectations. The route was well organized and we found we could easily stay on the selected paths. Overall, it was a great experience and we want to do something like it again!

Foi o ponto alto da viagem! O passeio foi lindíssimo e nos surpreendeu pela beleza e pelo conteúdo sobre Paul Cézanne. O guia Vincent é muito gentil e atencioso e as bicicletas eram muito boas e estavam em ótimas condições.
Valeu muito a pena!!!À bientôt Vincent.

Awesome introduction to France
Grand Châteaux & Gardens of the Loire Valley
I have done many cycling tours over the years, many with BikeTours.com. We have never used Chain Gang Cycling as a tour operator before and I know our group, which is an older group and not all the strongest riders, is probably more "needy" than the typical Chain Gang tour but they did a fantastic job of providing for all our needs. Our guides were excellent, we never got anyone lost.
BikeTours.com set up an excellent tour through a very beautiful and picturesque part of France. The average daily mileages were good for our group and the sights we saw along the way were amazing. Beautiful small country towns, rolling hills of farmland and forests, and incredible chateaus with magnificent gardens, lots of photo opportunities. We set up a few lovely picnic lunches on several of the ride days with the wonderful French baguettes and ham and cheese.
Our intrepid group of 16 riders managed the routes with a few hills with no real issues besides a couple of falls and a few bumps and bruises. Just part of cycling. We had lovely weather with the exception of one day where we got some rain. Lots of nice memories and new friends were made on this trip and we're already eagerly looking forward to our next BikeTours.com cycling trip in Poland in 2026!

Alsace region June 26
Freiburg and the Alsatian Wine Road
We loved this trip, despite temperatures of 38 degrees rather than the 28 degrees which would have been the norm. It was well organised, our bags were always ready and waiting for us and everyone was very helpful. Two of us had removable batteries on our E-bikes and had no trouble in recharging; the other two were not able to remove theirs and found it a bit tricky in a couple of our hotels. However, it was easily sorted. Accommodation was all good, just a couple of nights out of seven that did not have air conditioning, but generally excellent. One even had a (very welcome) pool!
