Unique Italy

· Piedmont Region: The Italian Garden of Eden

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.

Bodensee Views & Sights

· Lake Constance Bicycle Path

We had a bit of a slow start with the bicycle company & the bicycles. They were not as prepared as the former bike tour/company we biked with the week before.
The majority of the trails were great! Some gravel, but not bad.
The tour itself was fantastic! The cities and things and places we saw were amazing! The hotels and breakfasts were top notch!!
Convenience of WC was great!
Would highly recommend this bike tour!

A joyous ride

· Gaudi’s Barcelona E-Bike Tour

We took this tour with our two kids (ages 4 and 6). The younger one rode in a bike seat, while the older enjoyed the ride on a trailer with his dad. The stops along the way were a perfect chance for them to unwind, especially the one at Barceloneta. We even stopped at the Sagrada Família, where they spent 20 minutes enjoying the playground in front.

Our guide, a young and proud Catalan, gave us a wonderful introduction to Catalan history and traditions. The city itself is perfect for biking: it’s flat, spacious, and easy to navigate. As a family, this tour gave us a great overall impression of Barcelona. Outside of the tour, we had been focusing mostly on kid-friendly sights, so it was amazing to also discover some really cool neighborhoods we would have otherwise missed.

Truly a gem and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

Beautiful bike trip!

· Medieval Villages of Catalonia

This is my second European bike trip with bike tours and it was even better than the first. Daniel from Creative Catalonia really went above and beyond. He met us at our hotel with the bikes, a reusable bag, water bottles, a map and a GPS. He made sure the bikes fit us and that we knew where to start. He was a very thoughtful communicator. The bike rides are low mileage but it is hilly, with gorgeous views. The rides are mostly on bike trails with about 30% being packed dirt/gravel. The gps was awesome and Daniel included places of where to stop to see interesting sites, recommendations for lunches or dinners, etc. His recommendations were great and very appreciated. The hotels that we stayed in were lovely and we really enjoyed them.
My only tip to bikers would be to bring your own helmet. I used the one provided which was sufficient but it didn’t have mips technology which is really standard for helmets in the US and would be the safest.
And for bike tours & Daniel — I’d suggest figuring out an alternative for the ride from Monells to Girona if you’re concerned about the safety of the bikers. I would have loved another day of biking and near the sea.
This was a great tour, lovely hotels, nice e-bikes, fabulous recommendations, easy to use GPS, I would highly recommend this tour. We went in mid September and the weather was hot and beautiful.

The Essential Bike Tour of Historic Stirling & Beyond

★★★★★ (5/5) John L. 1 week ago

Stuart is a pro

· Best of Stirling E-Bike Tour

Stuart was punctual & very informative. His communication skills are top notch. I'm older & had not been on a bike in "several" years. He was patient, helpful & personable. He made me feel like I was in good hands. This young man will go places.
He is proud of his country & it shows. We visited all of the things I wanted to see, & more. I definitely recommend booking his services.

Worth the return to complete additional Dolomites adventures

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

It's often said that one cannot return and expect the same or better results. On our second self-guided tour, we accomplished at least three new activities we didn't have time for last year. We took the Toblach/Dobbiaco public bus to Lago de Braies and hiked around the lake (about 2 hours); we rode our bikes from Bruneck/Brunico to Sand in Taufers; and we parked our bikes near the Sol Paradiso Hotel in San Candido and hiked to the Jora Refugio for a delightful lunch and killer views. The Hotel Laurin (again our second stay) was just as lovely, the weather was cooperative (only one rainy day), but the schedule we received had incorrect dates and confusion resulted. In Lienz, we were waiting at the designated place with two other German couples, but no shuttle. After 20 minutes of waiting, one of the Germans called the office and was told the shuttle was on its way. We waited . . . no shuttle. He called again, and we were told we were in the wrong place (all six of us, really)?? We pedaled back to the taxi stand at the Lienz Train statin, where a private taxi with a bike trailer was waiting. The driver didn't even know where we were going (fortunately we were all going back to Toblach). Not sure what happened, but the transfers were either non existent, late or we were told to take the train back (we did this from Bruneck). Not a good look. Made some suggestions for future self-guided tours with transfers with the TO's office.

Between Frankfurt and Bamberg on the Main River

Long awaited bike trip

· · Between Frankfurt and Bamberg on the Main River

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 !

Croatian Vineyards and Villages of Undiscovered Istria

Everything we hoped for and more!

· Croatian Vineyards and Villages of Undiscovered Istria

The self-guided bike tour (Undiscovered vineyards and villages of Istria) was amazing. Our tour guide was excellent; he provided all the necessary information before we started and ensured the bikes were set up properly. The touring bikes we had were great, the maps were accurate and the accommodation excellent. Everything went according to plan and would definitely recommend this tour.

How to make pilgrimage easier?

· Camino de Santiago: From Porto to Santiago de Compostela

I made with my son the self-guided tour from Porto to Santiago de Compostela in mid-September. We expected hot days, but we often needed to wear jackets due to ocean breeze. In comparison to Insbruck-Salzburg tour we found this one more difficult, especially in parts with crowds of pilgrims on narrow and richly rooted forest paths or cobble stone streets. In these circumstances taking distance of 60 km could be challenging. Generally, we are happy from our choice. Views on ocean with rocky coast was wonderful, and collecting stamps in Camino passports joined us spiritually with pilgrims, although riding e-bikes we could be treated as cheaters. We express also gratitude to Daniel who greeted us in Porto and explained everything in all details.

Sea, Sand, (and Hills) of Crete!

· Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

We did the slow ride through Crete with an off day at the beach after every day of cycling. Beautiful scenery, and a decent enough amount of cycling each day to feel that we earned our dinners! Very well run and organized, with no issues with hotels or luggage transfers.

This trip was a pilgrimage for me and it exceeded any expectation beyond!

· Loch Lomond to Edinburgh: Lakes & Valleys of Scotland

This trip was a pilgrimage for me and it exceeded any expectation beyond! Our tour operator Nick Green was great! He rode to our lunch spot in Drymen just to check on us as we rode hybrid bikes (not e-bikes). The routes were extremely challenging but so worth the effort as the landscapes we covered on our self guided tour was spectacular!! The rides were multi-terrain so the bikes were great for the variety of terrains we covered. Our accommodations were wonderful and the people we meet in Scotland were warm, friendly & helpful. I am so glad we upgraded to king size bed rooms as after a challenging day of riding it was so nice to stretch-out and sleep! I would definably confirm check in times at each hotel as they vary. It truly was a trip of a lifetime!!

Take us back

· UNESCO Sites of Albania

Felt like we were able to see many different parts of the country and you can’t beat traveling by bike. The tour companies were great to work with as we had some travel challenges to work around. Inland the roads were scenic and quiet for riding, while the coast was stunning.
