★★★★★ Robin Jones 1 month agoBrutal weather but a great ride nonetheless
· Berlin – Copenhagen
This was the trip I had wanted to go on since the first time I came across Bike Tours. The trip was filled with wonderful trails and scenery and although the length was quite long it was very doable, sans the weather! It happened that during our ride (7 of the 9 days) there were extremely high winds and rain several of the days. The wind made it so difficult to ride as most days had sustained winds between 20-30 mph (ALL DAY LONG). Thank the Lord for e-bikes. I never could have done this ride without one. That being said, it was still enjoyable. It was very easy to connect with the ferry to cross from Germany to Denmark and the small bike ferry we took to Bogo was smooth as well. On a couple of days we made our own route on google maps and ride with gps to shorten the days a bit. I would definitely recommend the trip and we all know we just deal with the weather given us. I was incredibly impressed with how well the trails are marked and maintained. We met some really nice travelers along the way and although we do self guided rides we seem to see the same people at the hotels at night. The young man who met us at our beginning hotel did the most thorough hand over of bikes than any other company we have worked with. The bike was a perfect fit and I was very happy with the local tour operator.

★★★★★ Bill H. 1 month agoPositive Experience, with a bit of extra effort
· Best of Holland North: Dutch Villages, Landscapes & the Keukenhof
The e-bikes provided were top of the line, with the appropriate accessories of bags and locks. (We were glad we booked e-bikes because, while the landscape is flat, we needed the power to overcome the sustained winds in the North.) Orientation was clear and friendly, with a great local person. All of our bags transferred seamlessly throughout the trip. Three of the four boutique hotels booked for us were well-styled - but those three did not have elevators.
The tour route provided via Ride with GPS was fine but without customization or annotation to reflect the interests we had expressed. A separate and limited list of potential sites along the way was provided, but none of them were identified on RwGPS, so we relied primarily on our own research to enrich the route with stops and side visits that added value.
Perhaps the biggest issue was that we had a tough time trying to meet the 3pm bike return on the last day - and were ultimately a little late and under pressure. We typically needed until 6pm each day to enjoy the sites along the way and would recommend that the last day be scheduled as a full day before bike returns.

★★★★★ Richard Welsh 1 month agoUnfortunately, we had to cancel the tour

★★★★★ Steve Lilley 1 month agoChallenge completed!
· Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
As a couple we enjoyed completing the challenge in extremely hot conditions.
We were disappointed in not sighting or swimming in the Danube more often: it’s a mighty impressive river!
Riding enabled greater appreciation of the country and people than by car: crops and farming in particular.
The final ferry ride for over an hour was a great finale! -
★★★★★ K Harris 1 month agoGreat ride around Wellington and we learned a lot
· Wellington City E-Bike Tour
Everything about this ride was amazing. Bikes were well maintained and worked great. Jack was very nice and knowledgeable about the town. The bike paths were in great order and we felt safe and comfortable the whole time.

★★★★★ Greg M 1 month agoFantastic 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!- Countries included in this tour?

Spectacular bike trip. Well thought out itinerary. Excellent breakfasts which were included. Hotels were good although some didn't have ac as they were literally 100s of years old

★★★★★ Parminder and Jonneke 1 month ago⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A fantastic, insightful bike tour through The Hague
· Highlights of The Hague Bike Tour
We had an amazing bike tour in The Hague last week. The entire experience was well thought out, with a perfect balance of cycling, sightseeing, and historical context. Our guide, Teun, was outstanding – incredibly knowledgeable about the city’s history, landmarks, and hidden stories that we would never have discovered on our own. He shared everything with such enthusiasm and clarity that it made each stop truly come alive. We learned so much while enjoying a comfortable and relaxed ride through beautiful streets and parks. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to see The Hague from a local perspective and understand its rich past in a fun, engaging way. Thank you, Teun, for making our day so memorable!

★★★★★ Albuquerque, M 1 month agoA wonderful and nice surprise!
· Burgundy Wine Trails: Beaune to Macon on the “Voie Verte”
Honestly... as we arrived in Beaune, after five days in the intense Paris, we got depressed and were about to give up on the tour. It was Sunday and almost everything was closed and there was almost nobody in the streets. As we went for a walk around this curious and medieval city, it started to look interesting. We decided to, at least, try the bike ride scheduled for the next day. And so it all began. The track, the field covered with vineyards, wheat, hay and sunflower, the small villages, the cozy pre-summer weather, enchanted us. Some winery were opened, so we could do some tasting and buy some peculiar wines, which gave additional brightness to the trip. Locals were very kind. The physical exercise itself... it all changed our minds completely. So, as to enjoy even more, we opted for electric bikes. Each day was a 5 to 6 hour ride full of discoveries and stop-overs, different kinds of tracks, many new old villages and delightful sceneries, sprinkled by wonderful chardonnay and pinot noir. Charming places to picnic, many photos, lots of tastes and smells. Resting in comfortable beds and dinning the Bourgogne gastronomy. It was not the trip of our dreams. It was a dream itself!

★★★★★ Laura S. 1 month agoBike, Barge, Fine Dining!
· · Amsterdam to Cologne along the IJssel and Rhine
What a super trip! The Merlin is a beautiful barge and the crew exceptionally welcoming. Meals were gourmet, the scenery beautiful, and the cycling was so perfect. Ilsa was a terrific guide - the picture of patience, a font of knowledge, and an expert cyclist. The small group size meant we were able to become acquainted with each other very quickly, which was fun. The staterooms were so comfortable and inviting. Superb service. This trip certainly exceeded my expectations.

★★★★★ Tami 1 month agoInteresting tour of the city. Guide was very knowledgable
· Back to Socialism Bike Tour Zagreb
It was a great ride around town with interesting commentary. We've been on tons of bike tours in many countries. This one had fewer stops, and longer talking at the stops. Guide was able to answer any and all questions, and we learned a lot about the city and country.

★★★★★ Pat 1 month agoBeautiful scenery
· Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps
Whoever plotted this route did a wonderful job--and had legs of steel. We rode on superbly maintained bike paths and little-traveled farm roads through alpine meadows, lush forests and charming towns. But there were also some of the longest, steepest hills I have ever ridden. Think ebike in first gear and Turbo mode for 10 minutes straight. The navigation app was pretty good but bring an extra battery pack! It eats a lot of juice.
The hotels were a mix of the sublime and the Motel 6 variety but all were acceptable.- What was the date of your tour?

Great place for a bike ride along a river and through wine country. Visiting towns along the way a nice bonus. Not much of altitude gain was also a plus.

★★★★★ Christian 1 month agoGreat Guide But Needs Bikes for Smaller Riders
· Dublin City E-Bike Tour
Unfortunately, my wife and I were not able to complete the full tour because they didn't have a bike to fit her stature (5' tall). Our tour guide ended up taking us on a walking tour to the first couple of stops then was able to get us transferred to a hop on hop off bus tour. This was great customer service, but unfortunately we couldn't use the hop on hop off bus due to our time constraints, not at the fault of the company.

★★★★★ Lorne F - toronto, CDN 1 month agoGreat beautiful route
· Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
Great way to see the French country side (9/-0) Riding was not difficult. E-bikes were good. My battery did not hold a charge for the entire day (7-8 hours of riding ). Would have been nice to have an extra battery. The staff did not fit my wife’ for her bike properly at the outset (the seat could not be lowered). The GPS guidance was confusing at times - they need to have a better app. Hotels were 7/10 (pleasant but not great - although they were A+ - Annecy was nice) I would recommend staying an extra day in Annecy at the end (beautiful town). I give the trip overall an 8/10.

★★★★★ Gareth Jones 1 month agoGreat, fun, educational 3 hour bike tour
· Best of Brussels Bike Tour
Our guide Ahmed really did make the whole experience great. So knowledgeable, fun and took us to some lovely neighbourhoods we would never have seen or been to. Great value. Lovely stop for frites or a beer/glass of wine. Highly recommend. Would do the same tour when back. Electric bikes did help on a couple of hills but weren't really needed. Thumbs up.
