    Very interesting bike tour and a good and funny guide!

    · Highlights of Bucharest Bike Tour

    However it was very warm that afternoon we could manage the bike tour with our guide. We were with 4 and one extra person in our group. Good bikes and a good and funny guide. We enjoyed the tour taking 2,5 hours more or less. It was a good start of our city trip. The pace was good en the guide could tell us interesting stories. This bike tour is highly recommended.

  • Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
    (5/5) Richard S. 1 month ago

    From The Mountains To The Sea

    · Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula

    From start to finish the trip was tremendously engaging. We covered beautiful and varied landscape. Time in the mountains and time on the water, could not have been much nicer. The high mountains were a ncie cool temperature and the sea was comfortably warm. All the biking was pleasant and manageable. It was a great family trip for the 4 of us. And, it was something that we hadn't done in a number of years. We are quite grateful that everything was so well organized. Support all along the way could not have been better. Highly highly recommend the trip.

    The REAL Greece Experience

    · Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast

    This was one of the most (if not THE most) enjoyable tour we have done in Europe with Biketours.com
    The itinerary was excellent - each day was quite different. Some of the little portside villages we called into were exquisite as were the local people & food we enjoyed along the way. The bikes were superb as was the navigation system which never let us down. The briefing we received at Sparta (Fotus) & support along the way was first class. All in all a brilliant ride where we really soaked up the glorious sights, sounds & smells of the beautiful Pelopenese.

  • Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
    (5/5) Giuseppe B. 1 month ago

    It met my expectations.

    · Cycling the West Balkan Triangle

    The chosen route was well designed, and both the guide and the support driver did a great job leading the group, clearly explaining the route in advance every day and prioritizing the group’s safety and comfort. The route's duration and difficulty level are suitable for well-trained road cyclists, though there is always the option to ride with an e-bike.
    The organization should pay closer attention to the standard of the hotels. While some exceeded expectations in terms of accommodations and service—such as Hotel Perla—others should be removed from the hotel offering, such as Hotel Marija 2.

    (5/5) Kelli P 1 month ago

    Wonderful way to see Lisbon and get a feel for its history!

    · Hills of Lisbon E-Bike Tour

    Our guides were attentive, instructive, fun and so loaded with historical facts! Oriana led at the front and Roberto (Mr Bean) kept us safe and entertained. We loved the narrow streets and energy of the city. We have brought visitors to this group several times and it’s always a highlight. Even if you need to take it slow, it’s ok, you’ll be taken care of and have a great time. I bring a water and a snack but they do make a stop at a beautiful lookout that has vendors for water and lemonade (think TART). Don’t be afraid! E-bikes are a blast!

It helped that our group was cohesive and respectful of each other…and punctual! The food was excellent and our bow berth beyond expectations.

    (5/5) Nils M. 1 month ago

    Experiences along the Atlantic coast of Portugal

    · Portugal's Atlantic Coast

    The biketour along the Portugal's Atlantic Coast was one of our best bike tours, of many. We experienced a wonderful nature, with steep cliffs, long sand beaches, green landscape, and with numerous villages in between, both idyllic and historic. Before start, the guide gave us a thorough introduction of what to see and expect. Under way, we had very good help of tour maps and trip plan in mobile apps. Alternative routes were helpful, for adapting our energy for elevation and road surface. We found the hotels to be both inviting and comfortable. Bikes were new and very good. Generally, the tour was very good planned and organised.

  • Amsterdam to Bruges on Magnifique IV
    (5/5) Nancy 1 month ago

    Great

    · · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)

    Enjoyed the trip. We enjoyed the scenery. We enjoyed the barge. The floors of the barge are stunning. All the personnel were wonderful and I appreciated there pitch-in attitude. My only suggestion in regarding the biking, is that because E bikes now allow folks who are not bikers on these trips, that the groups always be divided into two. That first day when we had such a large group going through busy Ghent was uncomfortable. Those at the front asked to wait at corners, waited over 15 minutes isolated and it was not clear if we were going to have the Support to find the boat. I suggest also a discussion about not letting big gaps form within the same group, so those being supportive at the corners are not waiting. ( I’m not suggesting that they ride right behind someone, just not perhaps multiple hundred yard gaps. Really loved the tour.

    Unique experience to discover Siem Reap!

    · Siem Reap Countryside Bike Tour with Lunch

    Sing was an excellent guide, we visited a local market, rice fields, wate reservoir lake and more. It was a very beautiful bike tour, I can recommend! Keep in mind that it's very hot, especially when riding a bike, so be sure to bring enough water! Tour is suitable for adults/kids, even for those that don't often bike like me, yet an okay physical health condition is recommended to keep up with the pace!

    Enjoyable easy ride along the Danube

    · Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)

    My wife and I are 71, so we appreciated the fact that this was a really flat trip along the river. The entire trip took place on a separate bike path, even if you were traveling along side a roadway, the bike path was physically separate from traffic. Along the way, there were many nice opportunities to stop for an afternoon coffee or a mid day meal. The hotels we stayed at were very nice. The bikes we used were e-bikes, and they were fantastic. The local bike support was super responsive - our only issue was in trying to contact one of the hotels, we could not understand how to make a call in Austria. We called the bike company service line, and they took care of us!

    A true Discovery og Portugals Atlantic coast.

    · Portugal's Atlantic Coast

    We were a small Group of 4, renting 2 regular bikes and 2 e-bikes. The bikes vere new and very well kept. The ladies found the e-bikes very comfortable, they were easy to handle and lightweight with enough battery to help extra in all uphills.
    The Hotels on the trip were comfortable 4 stars and all except one, a very special one, The Letterman, had elevators to ease taking our luggage to Rooms. We enjoyed the stay at The Letterman anyway, never been to a hotel with that amount of books everwhere.
    Our tour was selfguided and the route for every day was easy to find with the app « Ride with GPS» and GPX files to choose from. We liked the simple and effecient mounting of our phones at our steeringbars.
    We can understand there was no offer going this Trip from south to north, as prevailing winds from the Atlantic were North/northwest and ofte gave an extra push from behind.
    The app «Trip plans» was a new and very good guide and help for the whole Trip. We have been going on such bicycle trips for 20 years in Europe and never had somerhing like that, We love it! Thank you, and We recommend this Trip.

    Bike ride down the Danube

    · Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest

    The tour was very well organised, the accomodation was of a high standard without exception. The included evening meals were generally of a acceptable standard.
    The premium bike that was provided was far too big and as a consequence I had to ride a different bike one which did not have a crossbar. This bike was very heavy and I found it difficult to manage.
    The Pedalo navigation App generally worked OK although I had to re install it a number of times to get it up and running again. I was grateful I had it as my Garmin 1030 device failed to function.

    (5/5) Ivan 1 month ago

    Another bike tour on my bucket list ticked off

    · Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast

    This ride is a terrific way to see the Peloponnese. I found the section from Sparta to Gytheio the most interesting, with trails through olive and citrus groves. The Byzantine site of Mystras is well worth spending time. With a warning that to visit takes a while and the road to it is very steep particularly if you’re visiting the Frankish castle above the monastery buildings. Being in my 70’s I was grateful that I ordered an e-bike, but 22 kms from Gytheio I ran out of battery and had to pedal the distance and doing this with 26 kilo bike wasn’t easy. Organisers may consider an e-bike with a larger battery power. The battery lasted just long enough to complete the beach tour from Gytheio the following day. There were a variety of trails and not too much peddling on main roads. The hotels were very good and friendly service.
