    Italy countryside ride

    · Cycling in the Heart of Puglia

    Really enjoyed the rides through olive orchards and the hotel hosts were spectacular....shout out to Stephano in Putignano! The add-ons were wonderful ..wine tasting, olive oil tasting, Ostuni little car tour; very informed and enthusiastic. presenters. Please consider having all bikes include fenders as weather is unpredictable and many of the roads are sandy.

    Alex is an amazing guide

    · Road Bike Tour from Dubrovnik to Herzegovina & Back

    The day-long ride from Dubrovnik to Bosnia (and back) with Bike Tours was a ride we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives. The scenery was spectacular, the route was interesting with a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment.
    Lunch was wonderful at Zavala - we were welcomed like old friends!
    The day was memorable as the seasonal Bura wind made things cooler than normal. Everything was expertly and professionally managed by our guide, Alex. He was personable, knowledgeable and conscientious. He took great care of our safety, and made sure that we really enjoyed our day. He gave us thoughtful options for the route - and he even quickly and efficiently changed a tire puncture near the end of the ride! In addition to guiding our journey, Alex provided us with interesting information, good stories, and shared unique, firsthand knowledge of the culture. He even took a moment to pick some carob beans and introduced us to a new snack food!

    Bucket list experience!

    The staff and crew were top notch and our guides were superb. The bikes were comfortable and we were well-prepared each day for our semi self-guided rides. The guides were always available along the route to help with directions or point out must-see sites. What a great way to see the Netherlands in an intimate way. We experienced the beauty of Holland in a way that could not happen in a car. I will be back to the Netherlands and I will also use boat/bike format for other tour destinations in the future.

    Guide and crew aboard the Merlin was fantastic. They were courteous, knowledgeable, hard working and accommodating. Weather not the best but it didn't dampen spirits! Really enjoyed the unique experience of a boat/ bike trip to see Germany. Would definitely consider doing it again !

    Historical-Adevnture- Amazing guides

    · Danube River and Black Sea

    This bike tour was a history lesson on wheels. We started by visiting the WW1 Museum for an amazing experience. Deyan, the owner of the tour company and our guide and daily history lesson instructor was outstanding! His knowledge and enthusiasm of the local history came shining through in his daily lessons. The ride takes you past a large variety of terrain from rolling fields of corn, sunflower and wheat to large orchards of apricots, cherries and peaches. The riding surface included asphalt, dirt and gravel roads. At one point we cycled on an ancient Roman road along the Danube River. We experienced amazing views while riding along the coast off the Black Sea. We had two spur of the moment stops to visit with some locals making traditional Bulgarian Lutenitsa. The locals were eager to share the tradition of making this delicious Bulgarian treat.
    Romania and Bulgaria are two countries that are climbing in tourism. Plan your visit before they become new tourists hot spots. You won’t regret it.
    As always bike tours are a great way to experience local culture and make new friends at a relaxed pace.
    PS- Deyan is an awesome photographer.

    · San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour

    If you’re visiting San Francisco, do not miss this! Golden Gate Park is so much bigger and more varied than I expected — from lush gardens to wild bison, it’s a feast for the senses. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had plenty of photo stops. This was the highlight of my trip!

  • (5/5) Sarah S. 1 week ago

    Very Enjoyable Golden Gate Park ride!

    · San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour

    This tour was awesome! Riding through Golden Gate Park felt like cruising through different worlds — from peaceful pagodas to herds of bison (yes, real ones!). The e-bike made it easy to cover so much ground, and the windmill stop was totally Instagram-worthy. 10/10 would ride again!

    · San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour

    As someone who loves learning while traveling, this tour checked all the boxes. Cycling between the California Academy of Sciences and the Conservatory of Flowers gave me a fresh appreciation for how diverse Golden Gate Park really is. The guide’s stories about San Francisco’s history and the quirky spirit of Hippie Hill made the park come alive in ways I’d never imagined.

  • (4/5) Joan B 1 week ago

    Great fun through an iconic American park.

    · San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour

    Our family absolutely loved this Golden Gate Park bike tour! The kids were thrilled to see the bison up close, and we all enjoyed wandering through the Japanese Tea Garden — it felt like stepping into another world. The pace was easy, the guide was patient, and it was the perfect mix of nature, history, and fun for all ages.

    stunning...but get an e-bike unless you are in great shape.

    · · National Parks of Dalmatia by Bike/E-bike and Boat

    Cool towns, friendly people, food is more on seafood side other ships can have more variety apparently. I've done this route - or variations of it - a few times. Highly recommend this e-bike tour to see the "game of thrones" part of Europe. Definitely go for a swim in the Adriatic.

    German Influences in a Very Different Culture

    · Alsace Wine Country

    This was our tenth European bike tour. We have pedaled many of the countries around Germany, but never in France. Beginning in Strasbourg, the rich history and architecture of the region take their grasp. The first two days were flat and easy, enjoying the quiet between cornfields and canals. The quaint villages along the way are filled with stone and timbered houses, cobblestone streets and ponds with serene swans. Some of the hill country through the grape/wine road presented challenges, but nothing that could not be accomplished. We enjoyed the German influence on the local cuisine, along with the famous wines of the Alsace.

    The bike company was great! Excellent notice on all necessary details of where bikes would be, how to operate bikes and how to contact bike company in the event of an emergency.
    Which we did need for my husband. They were great and took very good care of him!
    Routes were good, not all on bike trails, but on roads with traffic, gravel and some spots poor maintenance.
    Hotels and food were good!.
    WC were hard to find and were far and few between.

    Wonderful biking trip

    · UNESCO Sites of Albania

    Amazing way to explore Albania. We were self-guided, but the guides were helpful in ensuring communicating with us to ensure that our luggage was being transported. Hotels ranged greatly in quality, some were great, all were adequate. Location of hotels was great as well. Bikes were great quality and had no issues (one flat tire). Biking was on roads, some were quite busy. Would have been nice to have more off road biking, but I'm not sure that Albania has those facilities. First bike tour for all of us, and I would definitely do more.
