    Biking along the Rhine

    · Strasbourg to Mainz: Imperial Cities and Charming Landscapes Along the Rhine

    If you are our age, 75-80, we recommend using an e-bike. We enjoyed the trip but definitely too hard with a touring bike at our age! The signage was 90% OK but there was about 10% questionable signage which needed google's help.
    In our modern times, where everybody uses a handy, all hotels should have USB outlets, which was not the case

  • Vienna to Budapest
    (4/5) Frank S 1 month ago

    A good trip

    · Vienna to Budapest (Classic)

    Overall a very good trip. We have bike along the Danube from Passau to Vienna and that trip was more scenic. This trip was very flat and went through a lot of farm land and nice towns. While we were very close to the Danube most of the time, we could see it less than half of the time. The hotels were excellent and the breakfasts were alway very good. We had a rough start in that pretrial communication was not optimal and we could not get the combination of the bike locks. Other that that things went smoothly. At one point, we were told to follow an embankment along the Danube River. The trail was not paved and there were two ruts about 6 inches wide and an inch deep and foot long grass. That is where the GPS told us to go. I had a fall, which also happened to another couple along the same trail. Other than that the trails and road were good. The riding instructions were more or less accurate but were off by 1 kilometer or more at times despite the instructions being to the nearest 0.1 Km. The GPS was critical. You need a good battery on your smart phone, because if it goes dead, you could be in trouble just following the instructions

    · Dubrovnik Peljesac Bike Tour with Wine & Oyster Tasting

    Our group had an amazing time on the Dubrovnik Pelješac Bike Tour - great energy, beautiful scenery, and just the right mix of activity and chill. The oyster and wine tasting was a unique touch that brought everyone together. Fun, relaxed, and unforgettable, and yes, we’re still talking about it back at the office!

    · Dubrovnik Peljesac Bike Tour with Wine & Oyster Tasting

    This tour was the highlight of our trip - cycling through beautiful Pelješac, tasting fresh oysters right on the water, and sipping local wines with a view. Great balance of activity and relaxation. Highly recommend for foodies and nature lovers alike!

  • UNESCO Sites of Albania
    (5/5) Mary O 1 month ago

    Great trip through Southern Albania

    · UNESCO Sites of Albania

    I thoroughly enjoyed the UNESCO Sites of Albania cycling tour. Our guide Andrea was awesome! He was very eager to share his knowledge of Albania, its culture and history. He was also very friendly, helpful and supportive of tour participants. The hotels and restaurants were all good, food was delicious. I particularly enjoyed the two nights that we spent at local guest houses up in the mountains: family run and very friendly, with amazing local fresh food. The bicycles they provided were in good condition. The sag van driver and mechanic Rimi was great. He promptly and skillfully addressed any mechanical issues with the bicycles and was very supportive of any riders who needed to ride some sections in the van.
    My only criticism of the tour is that communication prior to the trip was minimal. Also, though not my personal experience, some of the other participants had been given misleading information about the difficulty of the trip from TO's administrative staff prior to the trip.
    Overall, I would highly recommend this trip!

    Great Bike Trip Through Burgundy

    · Burgundy Wine Trails: Beaune to Macon on the “Voie Verte”

    The company was easy to work with to set up trip. Meetings were easy and info provided worked well. Accommodations were fine and bikes were great. The gps app provided worked well and the trails were great. There was a major detour where path was closed for work that got a little interesting finding our way, would have been good if we had been forewarned. The information on sites to visit and wineries along the trail would have been nice to have a couple weeks before the trip to make reservations, they were provided the day prior to starting. All in we had a great time the scenery and towns were amazing. France is a great place to do a bike trip as they have a very strong biking culture. We loved it.

    · Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

    The route was very scenic as we cycled along parts of the north and south coastline. The hills challenged us as we cycled up but then we were rewarded with fabulous long glides downhill.
    The hotels were well situated near beaches and town centres.
    The TO staff were available when we had some questions regarding the route and the Ride with GPS

    Great way to see Portugal

    We loved the bike ride and the bikes excellent. After being hesitant about the GPS on the phone we found them amazing and we're taken through wonderful roads and interesting towns and off busy areas.we dud the hybrid choice the first Dat thinking we would see mire villages but found it much harder with no advantage. The accommodation was excellent everywhere and the the communication with bike.com and a local tour operator was amazing. HIGHLY RECOMMEND

    Our favorite Activity on Gozo

    · Highlights of Gozo E-Bike Tour

    This tour is a must -do! The tour guide - Chris was fantastic. He was professional, patient, knowledgeable and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. There is nothing like biking through the Gozo Countryside with the smell of wild fennell, capers and flowers. We road past beautiful churches, farms and along the coast. We stopped for mini-hikes to see amazing views and at a beach for a refreshment. It was an unforgettable day for us all!

    Great trip, great friends! One suggestion. The first stop on the trip was in Obidoes. The hotel only had 4 premium rooms which meant 3 couples had to stay in a lesser room in the hotel. This was not acceptable. The tour company should have offered to have the couples stay in another hotel with nice rooms or the lesser at one hotel.

    The bike tour was excellent, going to all the places we wanted to visit plus some. Excellent bikes, good pace and very informative! Guide was excellent….knowledgeable and very nice. One small recommendation: if she could talk a little slower it would be easier to understand her!

    An Adventure

    · Algarve Coastal Route

    This is our 4th ride with this company and the Portugal ride had the most challenges but also was adventurous. The Garmin that they gave us to use was not very good. We also uploaded a Bike App but this was not always dependable as well. Each day was an adventure to find the next location. We did tap into our Google GPS (bike option) as well. We were never worried we would not make it. The hotels they put us in where first class. Each had a swimming pool, balcony views, centrally located and great breakfast buffets to start our day. Our last day we had trouble with one of our batteries on the electric bike. It did not charge properly (even though we had it plugged in all night). When we started we only had 4 our of 5 bars and within 15 minutes it went down to 3 bars. It was our shortest day ride (29 miles) so we didn't pack our charger cord (which we did not require on any of the longer days). We made it within 7 miles of the finish line when the battery went completely dead. It was a very windy and hilly day so we had to call the local tour team to pick us up. They were great to work with and very supportive of our success. The driver even drove us to the finish line so we could see the lighthouse. They took a 6 day ride down to 4 days for us to accommodate our travel schedule. The overall experience was good but the directional devices took my rating from a 5 star to 4 star.
