scenic route!
Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz
Our bike trip along the Mosel River was fantastic! The route was incredibly scenic, easy to follow using the map, and a wonderful way to stay active while exploring Germany’s beautiful wine country. I highly recommend this experience!

Peaceful Mosel
Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz
Riding along the Mosel was peaceful, beautiful, and fascinating. To see the ingenuity, commitment, and caring of vineyards on the steep inclines of the bluffs along the Mosel created amazement and interest. The trail at time were easy enough to allow a lot of gazing. However, there were also paths with surprises, i.e. blind turns that suddenly led to a steep incline, rather narrow paths along side the road, and sometimes narrow gravel paths. But, some of that, I guess, can be expected. We did have trouble downloading the navigation system and called Pedalo Company for help. Johannas came to the rescue, but with much effort to get us setup. We were very pleased with all the hotels except for our last one, Mecure Hotel in Koblenz, it was adequate, but we were quite spoiled by the others and the standard was not quite as high as the previous ones. A bigger problem at the Mecure was their inadequate bike storage, i.e. the bike cage had no electrical outlets for eBikes, so, the hotel had to store the bikes in a different area until charged and we could only charge one at a time. Upon the completion of charging, we had to take the bikes down to the bike cage. Another problem with the Pedalo agenda was the wine tasting. There was little help in telling us if we could bike or walk there, it was difficult to find, and the tour guide of the tasting said she would translate her 45 min. presentation in English now and then, but failed to. I was able, with my limited German, to understand most of it, but my friend was unable to and was, therefore, left out of the information. The wine we tasted was excellent, however! FYI, at Hotel Kessler Meyer in Cochem, do not trust google maps to get you to the hotel. It takes you to a dead end after a very steep street incline. Call the hotel for an easier way. In spite of those concerns, the trip down the Mosel was beautiful and overall thoroughly enjoyed.

Wonderful time
Neckar & Rhine Rivers by Bike and Boat
Best way to see the little towns and castles of the Rhine valley. Took the time to ride through the old small towns and little cobblestone streets along the way which don't have a ton of tourists. We made a special effort to eat at small, local restaurants in these towns it that was some of the most memorable moments of the trip. We'll be planning another trip for next year we enjoyed this one so much.

Loved every minute
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
This was our first bike vacation and didn't know what to expect, we loved every minute! We chose Bike Tours Direct because they allowed us to change the itinerary to include 2 extr days in Lorch, the town that shares my husbands family name! After all this was his 60th birthday trip. We had a magically stay in Lorch, met the Mayor who gave us the town flag and put our picture on their FB page! Fun.
We never saw the team that picked up our luggage, but sure enough our bags were always waiting for us at our next stop. The entire bike trip was beatiful, historical and we can't wait to go again.

When the Weather Agrees The Rhine is Beautiful
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
Flat, well-marked path. Castles. Wine. Beer. Friendly hotel staffs. For what more could I ask?
If possible opt-out of the dinner package, restaurants in all towns visited are plentiful. The menu selection available is very limited and beverages are not included in the price of dinner.- What was the date of your tour?

60th Birthday Celebration
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
My wife took me on this beautiful Rhine bike ride for my 60th birthday. What a great way to experience Germany first hand! All of the bed-and-breakfast-style hotels were wonderful, clean and well-apportioned. Breakfast in the morning always had a great selection of foods, leaving us well-energized each day to hit the trail. We rode at our own pace every day, stopping on a whim to look at this, that, and the other thing. We toured castles, Roman ruins, shopped (the panniers were large enough to accommodate most items we bought), ate snacks and lunch, and took advantage of any and all photo ops. At the end of each afternoon we had time to do a walking tour of each town we stayed in, eat a stellar dinner and then have a hot shower and a good night's rest. The weather and temperature were very cooperative, just perfect. We absolutely cannot wait to do this again next spring. We are already planning another BikeTour.com trip to another destination. Best vacay ever!

Lovely ride
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
I decided on the spur of the moment to treat myself to a bike tour. The Mainz to Cologne route appealed to me because I did it by boat many years ago. It was one of the most enjoyable holidays I've ever had. The scenery was impressive, the ride was nice and easy and the hotels were sufficiently comfortable. Having done bike trips before where I carted my own luggage it was an absolute luxury to have my luggage looked after by the tour company. This was done in a very efficient way. The trip is quite easy. Before this, the last time I was on a bike for more than 10km was about 10 years ago. I had no problems, other than some saddle soreness after the first day. I would recommend proper cycling shorts, that makes life in the saddle a little easier.

A perfect first tour!
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
This tour definitely met with our expectations, and was thoroughly enjoyable from start to finish. The information given beforehand was really comprehensive and the recommendations for meals and excursions really helpful. This was bought as a 70th birthday present for my husband and he/we had a great time! A bottle of bubbly awaited him on the first evening of the ride, as a present from the company, which he was very touched by! We were very lucky with the weather too, so all in all a great little adventure!

Great Trip down the Rhine
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
We had a fantastic first bike tour. The hotels in general were well appointed. One hotel had staff that did not know any English which made communication a challenge but we managed. The castles were amazing. The routes are well laid out and easy to follow even if you do no know German.

Greatest family vacation!

Rhine biking is perfect combo of castles, beauty, history, food, beer/wine, and fun! Great exercise, not strenuous biking. Four college-age kids and three parents--something for all everyday. We will be back for another trip!

Wonderful Easy Biking
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
The Rhine region of Germany is gorgeous, we enjoyed sunny warm days and relaxed biking. Towns and cities are beautiful and interesting and the people are educated and friendly. The 3* hotels are good and the 3* Superior hotels are excellent. Breakfasts everywhere were really good and there were very good options for dinner wherever we went. The bikes are heavy and bulky but adequate for the trip, the only issue we had was climbing the long steep hill to Eberbach Monastery. The maps are not easy to read, but the route is pretty straightforward. The only challenges are navigating inside the cities and finding some hotels, which is easily done with Google Maps.

Gute Fahren along the Rhine
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
This was a most picturesque tour along the Rhine. The ride was gentle and we mostly rode on dedicated bike paths. Most of the ride was right along the river except when the path took us through one of the many well preserved medieval towns. The tour company was great and our bikes performed well. Our luggage was always delivered on time. Our maps and printed materials were very helpful, especially the recommendations for restaurants for lunch and dinner. Our hotels were very comfortable and they were all air conditioned. They also served lovely breakfasts. This was a very memorable ride that compared favorably with other European rides that we have taken. I highly recommend this tour.

Castle Heaven!
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
We loved nearly everything about this trip! The route was perfect! It delivered days of delightful excercise, followed by late afternoons exploring the next lovely overnight stop. Breakfast was always a feast and a deliciously fun way to start each day. We diverged off the path to explore a few castles and were Wowed! One small change could make this THE perfect bike tour: do NOT book lodging in Rudesheim during the annual Harley Festival. Distressingly loud people kept us up all night. It was unbelievably noisy, leaving us sleep deprived—sadly, not a fun night at all.
