Maybe our 6th trip with biketours…
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
…and it continued to exceed expectations: attentive trip planning with Mariam Thrazashvili - something like 37 e-mails to pick best week for weather in Crete, nail down extra days, detour to Matala, etc. That’s a lot for a 25 euro booking fee! Local outfitter ARCAS had excellent support, well-chosen hotels (best: Pepi Boutique Hotel in Rethymno, and the one in Toufoulofari). Had a couple flat tires on the e-bikes (take note: some tough climbs; we’re casual bikers, e-bikes change your whole attitude about hills - but the subsequent downhills are glorious!) and the gears were a bit wonky but I managed. The GPS turn-by-turn routing was idiot proof - there was one stretch where the route was misregistered so it was 20-30 meters away from true position, but I gave ARCAS feedback and they have corrected it. (Could not print out the 36 pages of trip notes - and neither could the local rep of ARCAS - broke his printer - file size too big.). The views are spectacular! Highly recommend!

Biking the Danube: just the right amount of challenge.
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
The self-guided bike tour prepared by BikeTours.com was the perfect amount of challenge and adventure. We got to see and experience nature, history and the local culture of Austria.
Each night we laid our weary heads down in comfortable and unique accommodations. The hearty breakfasts provided each morning helped to keep us going.
This was just the right amount of challenge for our average level of fitness. The e-bikes, app and maps and luggage transfer certainly made the whole experience easier.
We are already dreaming about our next bike tour.

Everything I expected and more
Best of Slovenia: Highlights Across the Country From Bled to Piran
Everyday was something new to see
Loved all the farmland, meadows
Seeing less people in these areas
Couldn’t believe how green it was
Loved the small village accommodation
Especially in Kodreti
People were kind and gracious
We could not get over how good the food was in smaller towns- Countries included in this tour?

Beautiful views and wonderful hospitality.
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
We enjoyed this trip immensely. The views are fabulous and the food is delicious. The people of Crete are very friendly and accomodating. The trip is not overly challenging but an ebike is a worthy investment. Ride with GPS works well but don't follow it blindly. If it is taking you somewhere that you aren't happy about, don't hesitate to zooout and look for an alternative route. Highly recommended tour.

One of our favorite vacations
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique I (and reverse)
We had an absolutely awesome time. Accommodations, equipment, and staff were all great. We also had perfect weather and a wonderful group of co-travelers. Would do a vacation like this again in a heart beat.
Only thing that would make it even better, would be to have a masseuse on board!

Spring in Umbria and Tuscany
Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy
The bike route was great, small country roads through towns and villages. We met friendly people at every stop we made. Drivers were courteous to cyclists.

Perfectly curated
UNESCO Sites of Albania
We were self guided and had changed the itinerary by adding a few rest days along the way. As we were not part of a group we were initially worried that me might get forgotten (and bags not forwarded etc) but every detail was taken care of and the support was completely reliable and comprehensive. This allowed us to just enjoy the trip. Albania was an absolute delight in every way; scenery, people, culture and the route was perfectly curated to show the best of all of this.

Adventure Around the Lake
Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)
A perfect way to spend 10 or so days biking. There is so much to see on this mostly bike trail ride. If you are looking for a relaxing trip with things to see each day, this is the one. A little research on each of the towns you stay will reward you with some fun things to see. Most of all, plenty of Benches to stop and take in the sites around you.

Bike ride celebration… great decision
Half Day Napa Valley E-Bike Tour
Our guide, Santino, was so knowledgeable about, Napa, its history and the vineyards. I booked the ride as a part of our weekend celebration of my son’s graduation from Berkeley… it was a spectacular journey, beauty of the grape vines and serenity of the wineries were unmatched. This is a must! We will be back. I highly recommend this activity but make sure to request Santino… he took the ride to another level!!!

Wonderful trip. Great sampling of Albanian mountains, farms and coast.
UNESCO Sites of Albania
Wonderful to start in Tirana, then see the rural part of Albania and finish on the coast. I enjoyed the stays at the organic farm and the guest house especially.
The local historical tours done at some of our stays were good for hitting the highlights of their significance. They were neither too long or too short.
The guides were fantastic. They did a nice job of allowing everyone to go at a pace that was comfortable for them. They were very patient about answering questions about Albania's history, current challenges and daily life.
The accommodations were always clean and comfortable. Some were very nice, others more humble but were always clean and functional.
The food was plentiful! They really focused on trying to serve traditional Albanian dishes particular to that region. Two nights we were free to eat at local restaurants so those who wanted to get a pizza or non-Albanian food could do so then.
I feel the level of difficulty was accurately described. Unless you are an experienced cyclist you would not want to do this without an e-bike. There were several people who did not ride much and did just fine on e-bikes. For those on regular bikes (non e-bikes) it was a manageable ride. There was always a break in the morning for coffee, then again for lunch and then finishing the ride. This really helped make the rides manageable.
I consider myself a moderate rider typically doing 50 miles per week with about 3000-4000 elevation gain total. So this tour was a moderate challenge but very doable.
My wife and I had previously done only DIY trips and this was our first supported, guided experience. It was nice to not worry about navigation, where to stay or where to eat. All in all, it was a wonderful trip that I would recommend highly.- What was the date of your tour?

Fun ride in Prague
Panoramic Prague Bike Tour
Our guide Michael was great. He's an ex pat American and speaks the same kind of English we do. The ride is easy and leans towards biking through parks that are on the perimeter of the old and new towns so you get a good scenic overview. Good way to get into the Castle while still having the means for a quick getaway from the crowds. Oh, and the ride back down the hill is great!. Michael is very knowlegeable about the area and its history and is more that happy to engage all the questions we had. If you get there a little early for the morning ride, there are plenty of places to choose from for a breakfast nearby before the ride.

Excellent bike tour through Germany and Austria
Danube Bike Path 5-nights (Active)
The Danube Cycle Path is an excellent biking tour. We felt like we really got to see the countries we were biking through. We biked in early May and the weather was perfect, not too warm but sunny with blue skies. I would highly recommend this trip. You do need to be fit enough to bike 50 miles a day. I used an e-bike and it was great. Such a beautiful trip! Can’t wait to do another one.

Full of highlights!
National Parks, Lakes & Canyons of Montenegro
We thoroughly enjoyed an 8 day self guided tour in May 2025. The route took us through stunning sights just as the title suggests. We had the upgraded accommodation and were delighted each night. The train trip from Podgorica to Mojkovac was in itself a highlight travelling through incredible country. Very basic arrangements for carrying our bikes though with no assistance to lift or lower the bikes on and off the train nor special areas for storing them. Our bikes actaully blocked a toilet for the 2 hour journey.
