    Great trip

    I enjoyed the trip overall! Every day had beautiful scenery except for the last day. It was kind of boring. Some booked hotels did not have AC.

    I paid for a mountain bike, but the bike I received is a regular bike.
    Furthermore, the bike saddle provided must be designed for men

    Exploring Milan’s Best by Bike – A Must-Do Tour

    · Highlights of Milan Bike Tour

    The Highlights of Milan Bike Tour is the perfect way to see the city’s top sights in just a few hours. Our friendly guide shared fascinating history while leading us through charming streets, vibrant piazzas, and past iconic landmarks like the Duomo. The small group size made the ride relaxed and enjoyable, with plenty of photo stops. Highly recommended for anyone wanting an active, fun, and insightful introduction to Milan.

    Bicycle paths of the Dolomites

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

    This was a great trip for our family of four to explore a beautiful area. The hotel was very comfortable and the included food was excellent. The local tour company was very helpful, although it was a little confusing to follow their paperwork so make sure to meet with them directly before you starts to confirm routes and days for transfers. It would also be helpful to check with the bike company to see if there are any route closures or events that may interfere with your trip. We had a large bike race which closed one of our trails one day which we didn’t know about and had to ride on the road and another day had a partial path closure of unknown reason. This could hav easily been avoided if the bike company had shared this information. The bikes were great but you may have to be proactive/assertive to determine details of route changes. All in all we really enjoyed our trip.

    Beautiful scenery with challenging, yet manageable routes through amazing scenery. We cycled with our two teenage daughters (14, 16) who loved every minute of it. Being based in one hotel was very nice, and each day proved to be an entirely different experience. We were grateful to have this beautiful opportunity

    A perfect way to be introduced to the Dolomites!

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

    The five day tour provided an excellent introduction to the spectacular scenery and splendour of the South Tyrol area. Staying at one hotel (The Hotel Germanic - excellent service all around), allowed us to focus on each day’s itinerary and not on packing up and moving on. The views biking out of Dobbiaco from all directions were breathtaking taking. We will be back!

    Perfect 7 Days Easy Alpine Cycling

    · Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps

    A fantastic way to ride through the Austrian and Italian Alps without the hill climbs. Perfect length of 7 nights, awesome accommodation in beautiful villages and larger cities, nestled right in amongst the activities of the town centres.
    Two brothers in retirement rode normal touring bicycles without any training and covered the tracks with relative ease.
    The scenery along the route was breathtaking.
    The food delicious and easy to search out local cuisine as accommodation was right in amongst it all.
    Accomodation was first class (twin share), with large rooms, breakfasts were full buffet and catered for everyone’s tastes.
    The touring bikes were in the excellent condition, comfortable seats, pannier and handle bar removable basket.
    Routes were 99% cycle only roads fully sealed with a few hundred meters of gravel.
    Eurobike staff were also excellent and assisted us as first priority after an incident.
    Thank you we would not hesitate to this TO again.
    Thank you

    (4/5) Greg M 2 months ago

    Fantastic Bike Routes

    · Bolzano to Verona: Orchards, Mountains & Timeless Culture

    Each day of the ride was beautiful. The guidance app worked great most of the time (more on that later). When I lost my saddlebag along with the charger I called the support company, and a new charger was waiting for me at the hotel!
    Two things bothered me: On the first ride from Bolzano you stay in the town of Ora. The people at the hotel there were wonderful and had a beautiful breakfast array the next morning. But there is really nothing to see in that town. If you go another 5 km or so you end up in the town of Tramin where the wine variety Gewurztraminer was developed, with wine tastings interesting restaurants etc.
    The other bothersome thing was the app was not updated for new construction. And I am not talking about very recent construction. On the ride from Lake Garda to Verona a bridge was closed down and it had been closed for weeks. That was a major problem as there was no other bridge to cross the Mincio river and I ended up back in Peschiera del Garda. Now I'm lost and google maps does a poor job of directing a bike route to Verona. Luckily I had the Cyclers app which gave me an excellent bike route along gravel paths and bike lanes to Verona.
    That aside it's a fabulous way to bike the countryside from Alto Adige to Verona! And the ferry from north to south Lake Garda is long but wonderful!

    Beautiful Scenery, 249 Miles Total

    · Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps

    Cividale del Friiuli, Bled, Udine, Trieste, beautiful cities. Special moments, the manager at the Aguntum Museum (near Lienz) gave an unforgettable welcome to our soggy group (it poured buckets the first day out) and Hannes Grimmer Holzdesign (near Reisach) - amazing wood carvings. Nice hotels overall. Only issues were an A/C outage at the Bled hotel, and "the outbuilding" at the Cividale del Friuli hotel - tiny rooms that were nicely appointed but it was a walk from the main hotel that posed a challenge for older bikers in our group with walking issues. Tour operator customer service was excellent - second tour with them, would definitely use them again. Ebikes were new with strong motors and the techs on site took care of changing the displays to English/miles for us. Recommend completing this tour by mid-June due to summer temps in Italy.

    Absolutely perfect, could ride at your own pace all day, stopping where ever you needed. Scenery spectacular and it was also lovely cycling around the farms as well listening to the cow bells and birds. Bikes were fabulous, practically new and surprisingly comfortable! Hotel was fabulous and amazing food every day. Highly recommend.

    Amazing trip

    · Dolomites to Venice Along the Old Dolomites Railway Track

    We had such a great time cycling from the Dolomites to Treviso. The scenery was great and the towns so cute! Directions were good though the fun approve app was very glitchy. Had to reload it several times. Luggage was always delivered to the next hotel. E bikes were amazing and made a 50 mile day easy. The only complaint is with a few of the hotels which could have been nicer or located more centrally especially in Belluno.

    Memorable bike tour

    · Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps

    Just wrapped up a memorable bike tour from the Dolomites to Trieste — and wanted to share a few highlights and lessons learned.

    First, a big shoutout to Taylor at BikeTours.com, who was a fantastic Tour Advisor. When our bikes didn’t show up at the first hotel as expected, we gave her a call — and she jumped in right away. Thanks to her help, the bikes arrived in time for us to start riding the next morning without delay.

    What I learned:
    • Expect the unexpected. Our first day brought heavy rain — and we got soaked. If you’re doing a similar trip, pack good rain gear!
    • Bring biking tools. While the bikes were in excellent shape, having a small tool kit (for tightening loose seats or making minor adjustments) came in handy.
    • Stay connected. I recommend buying an eSIM for mobile data before the trip. Just don’t forget to turn on data roaming!
    • Be prepared for little expenses. Public WCs often cost 1€, so keep some coins handy. And at hotels, you’ll need to pay a local tax (around 3€) — some places only accept cash for that.
    • Illness can happen. I haven’t been sick in years, but picked up a cough midway through the trip. I ended up skipping the last day of riding — and that meant a taxi ride to the next hotel, which cost about $100 USD.
    • Extra hotel nights aren’t cheap. If you decide to extend your stay somewhere, budget about $200 USD per night, especially if you want breakfast included.

    The ride itself:

    The scenery was absolutely beautiful (except for the rainy day), and the routes between hotels didn’t have too many steep climbs. That said, for me, it was still a challenging ride — definitely pushed my limits, but in a good way.

    All in all, a wonderful trip with a few good reminders: plan ahead, be flexible, and enjoy the ride

    Great trip. Enjoyed every minute

    · Venice to Trieste and Istria

    We travelled - just my husband and myself. The app gave great directions for us to follow. The routes were lovely- very little time on busy roads. The hotels were great. Clean and friendly. Our favourite stop was Piran in Slovenia. We got to know the others on the same trip as us. It was great to share experiences at the end of the day. Only thing I would change for me is I would not go for an ebike next time. Found it very heavy and not suited to some of the terrain.
