    Wonderful choice to explore Bulgaria & Romania!

    We had an excellent time cycling and enjoying all the beautiful scenery from the countryside to the Black Sea coast! Our guide, Deyan, was helpful, courteous, and knowledgeable. He went above and beyond to meet our every need. I highly recommend doing this tour!

  • Danube Bike Path
    (5/5) Mitch 2 months ago

    Wonderful Trip

    · Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)

    We self guided down the Danube from Passau to Vienna. The experience was great. We stopped where and when we wanted to to stop and enjoyed the locals along the way. Being self guided was no problem at all, my only suggestion is to tie the hotels to the route for the for guidance. We ended up using Google maps to take us from the end of the route to the hotel in Linz and Vienna.
    The Great hotels were : The Altstadt Hotel Passau, Landgastof Winter Ardagger, Hotel Zur Post Melk, Hotel Richard Lowenherz Dunstein and the Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof Vienna. All of these hotel were phenominal. Frau Winter and the team in Adagger make feel right at home, great bar, great food and great hosts make for great stay. Elisabeth and her staff at Hotel Zur Post make you fell right at home, with a great wine tasting from the Wachau Valley, along with a great kitchen and ice cream shop out front makes this a great place to stay and enjoy their wonderful hospitality. Their uniforms are wonderful and ad to the experience! The Richard Loweherz in Durnstein is built around an abbey built in the 1400's, service was great and rooms comfortable. The restaurant was great also. The Steigenberger Hotel in Vienna puts the S in service. All of the staff went above and beyond to make sure you had what you needed for a wonderful stay. Great hotel in a large city with a small hotel feel. The real downer was the Radisson in Linz, indifferent front desk staff, dirty carpet in the first room and attached to a casino tells all about who they cater to. We were not impressed. The hotel in Tullin, The Best Western was brand new spotless and had a great manager. For business type of hotel this was a five star experience compared to Linz. The hotel is spotlessly clean and in a great part of town central to everything, it is not a traditional European old style hotel. The hotel in Schlogen we were indifferent to it is a summer resort hotel with a weird layout. It was okay but to call it upscale was stretching things a little in our opinion. It is located on the great bend and has wonderful views for the Danube and a great back deck to eat and drink on.
    The Wachau valley is the heart of this tour for sheer beauty as was the ride from Schlogen to Linz and Linz to Ardagger. Those were our most enjoyable legs.
    The bikes were brand new for the season for us and our two friend who had electric bikes they both had about 4000km on them. The bikes were in great repair and required no maintenance along the ride. The disk brakes were a welcome addition in the rain.
    If you want to take a great bike ride down through Germany and Austria this ride is for you. Virtually flat with just a few climbs in and out of towns makes for an easy ride, we ended up gaining weight from all of the great food! Don't be put off by self guided, it's a great way to see everything you want to see.

    Definitely worth it

    · Warsaw Highlights Bike Tour

    I absolutely loved the bike tour with tour guide Micheal. All of the stops were interesting and worth hearing about and Micheal was knowledgeable and fun and able to expand on questions with interesting details. Biking from spot to spot was safe, comfortable and convenient, with only one small hill. I would definitely recommend it to anyone else who visits Warsaw and am hoping I can find time while here to do one of their other bike tours.

    An excellent tour with an interesting, knowledgeable and friendly guide. We loved it despite the rain that poured for almost half the tour. The guide gave us an opportunity to choose whether we wanted to continue or to drop the tour and join a different group the following morning, which was really convenient. Highly recommendable!

  • Soak up Stockholm’s most sensational sights

    Fun ride with knowledgable guide around Stockholm

    · Classic Stockholm Bike Tour

    Super tour through Stockholm, a safe ride with our knowledgable guide (Lucas), who shared different perspectives on both the city sights and their history - and the country in general. Saw a lot of important landmarks and other sights - with longer or shorter stops - telling interesting tales and gave background stories where appropriate. Including a "fika" stop - naturally. Thanks for a super tour - we really enjoyed it.

    Enjoyable ride through Slovenia

    · Emerald Tour of Slovenia’s Gems

    Very much enjoyed our bike ride. Flawless support and organization by the local partner as well as the GPS map enabled us to enjoy the ride without the hassles. Beautiful countryside and very friendly people and excellent accommodations. Only slight improvement would be a bridge detour and new road out of Muggia that were not on our GPS that would have been helpful.

    A Natural Wonder

    · Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes

    We had an incredible experience on this bike tour. The trip was so thoughtfully planned by the local tour company. Not only are you biking along some of the most beautiful natural landscape in the world, you are staying at iconic historic hotels (complete with delicious meals included!) and experiencing so many facets of Norwegian culture. Highly recommend! This is my 3rd bike tour and I could not recommend enough

    I will note two things:
    1. we lucked out with beautiful weather. Perfect sunny, blue sky days for our whole trip. If it were raining and cold, it would still be fun but just know that the weather is unpredictable
    2. The cycling occurred on roads shared with motorists. 95% of the time this was totally fine because the car traffic was so infrequent, but keep this in mind if you prefer not to share the road with cars.

    Exceeded expectations!

    · Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)

    Our group of 4 opted for the self guided tour. The e-bikes were great and we are happy we chose them even though we are all able-bodied cyclists. There are a few hills where the e-bike made the trip much more enjoyable and they are smooth pedaling for flat terrain. The hotels were all charming and very convenient to the towns. Breakfasts were always amazing. The only downside was lack of directions to and from the hotels to the daily route. We got lost and back tracked often. Wish there were simple written instructions as the maps provided didn’t give any turn by turn instructions.

    Fun and Family-Friendly Bike Tour

    · Budapest Highlights Bike Tour

    We chose to do this tour privately since we were traveling with four small children, all riding on the back of our bikes. Our guide even joked that we set a new record for the number of toddlers on a single tour! The ride was relaxed and enjoyable, with several interesting stops along the way. The final stop, on an island in the river, was a highlight, giving the kids a chance to play and explore.

    · · Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    There was no surprise that cycling along the Danube through 4 Countries would be amazing, but the whole boat experience was fantastic.
    The boat was in pristine condition and a lot bigger than I ever imagined, combine that with the most friendly helpful staff and top quality restaurants level food every day.
    I was mainly going for the bike riding, but honestly I could have really enjoyed myself almost as much by staying on the boat and not riding at all. I will definitely book another trip in the near future.

The staff on board was very friendly and efficient, especially in the rooms and in the dining room! The Swiss Crown totally fulfilled our needs except for the insufficient wifi!
    The explanation of routes could improve, as well as the provided app, that kept disappearing. The maps in the book was not well displayed, which made it difficult to follow while cycling along. I suggest a bigger sized booklet or a daily map!
