    The Istrian Peninsula by Electric Bike

    · · The Istrian Peninsula by Electric Bike

    tt was a great trip. The boat was gorgeous and very comfortable. All the staff on the boat were great and the food was really good. The bike guides were also very good.

    Would suggest that the description you have of this ride be updated. You not only 30% gravel and it was at least 50%. The guides knew the routes very well and did everything to minimize traffic which was great.

    Also Mariam - who helped deal with hotels before and after the tour was fabulous. She was very very helpful and extremely responsive to questions.

    The issue of helmets needs to be clarified. We understood they were required, which is great. However there was a person who asked if it was required and he did not want to wear one and was not required to do so. Think this is a big mistake. Helmets should be required by all on the ride - even if local laws don't require it. Still should be required for the tour.

    Overall it was a fabulous trip.

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

    This trip had it all - new friends, good food, interesting and beautiful cities, history and bicycling. However the bicycling was quite easy. I wish the route maps were updated so that we could have added more miles and ridden on our own especially when the groups were quite large.

    The bike routes were very well marked. Additionally, we were provided with excellent maps and an excellent gps route guidance tool. We were initially given e-bikes which we had not requested but they were immediately switched out to regular bikes. The crew were all very helpful and nice. The ship was quite comfortable. Food was very good.
    All around a very nice experience.

    Our Best Bike Trip Ever!

    · Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps

    We had to stop saying how beautiful this route was! Quiet roads and bike paths, incredible scenery, nice hotels and amazing breakfasts! We chose the upgraded bikes which were very comfortable, not e-bikes, and only walked one hill. The rolling terrain added welcome variety to our ride. We were especially surprised leaving and re-entering Salzburg totally on safe bike paths. The app was very easy to follow and we are looking forward to our next self guided tour with bike tours.com. We have done several tours with guided companies and are really enjoying the freedom of self guided biking. Being able to begin riding when you would like and to stop at sites that peak your interest made all the difference.

    We did a self-guided cycling tour of the hills of County Donegal. We used e-bikes which are highly recommended because of the many hills. We stayed in the nicest small towns and the hosts of our B&Bs were very friendly and kind. The views were spectacular! We highly recommend this tour…. Just be prepared for the hills!

    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.

    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.

    (5/5) Albuquerque, M 2 weeks ago

    A 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!

    · 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!
