★★★★★ Patricia Barbour
Amazing trip!
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)
We had a wonderful trip with an amazing crew who worked in unison to make all the guests feel welcome. The tour leaders, Tammy and Peter, were fantastic and had intimate knowledge of the communities and sights along the bike routes. Their personal connections provided unique experiences that would otherwise have been missed. They were patient and personable even after their very long days!

Amazing bike and barge trip!
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)
My husband and I loved every minute of it! Fantastic crew, who looked after every single thing on our bike and barge tour.
Love cycling every day through beautiful historic areas and quiet countryside. Couldn’t get over the green lush areas, and always fun to cycle by the many canals!
The barge was spacious and had many very nice outdoor areas to lounge and relax.
Very talented and hard-working guides, hostesses, chef and captain!
Can’t wait to book our next tour!

lovely country, great guide and driver..Junid and Nick were terrific hosts for their country
UNESCO Sites of Albania
We saw the poorest country in Europe up close but one filled with hardworking, friendly people determined to build an economy and a tourist industry. Awesome scenery, and a running commentary from trip leader Junid. Great meals, and a wonderful group from a half dozen nations.

Great way to experience the Camino
Camino de Santiago: A Pilgrim’s Route From Astorga to Santiago
The tour was well organised with bikes in good order and daily luggage transfers between hotels very effecient. All the hotels were clean, comfortable and friendly, and we found plenty of good and cheap restaurants for dinner. The food and wine were a highlight for our group. The daily rides were varied and apart from the last day to Santiago, the roads were uncrowded with little traffic. On the last day we found local roads to avoid the busy main roads which was easy to do and extended the day's ride to about 50kms. Highly recommended and we are now looking to book another ride later in the year.

Absolutely Fantastic time!
Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps
We just finished the ten lakes tour in June, 2016 and had the time of our life. Bike Tours Direct set us up with a local tour provider and delivered everything we hoped for. We opted for the eBikes and those are way too cool. These guys took our luggage from Gasthaus to Gasthaus (okay - inn to inn) and it was sure nice to arrive the next location and find our luggage waiting for us. Our tour took us through some amazing countryside, farms and especially the lakes. We would get to small villages in mid afternoon (i.e. - no tourists!), enjoy a local meal and head off to our next location in the morning. All the lodgings were fantastic with very friendly inn keepers. We will do this again and we will use Bike Tours Direct.

Beautiful Croatian cities and islands
UNESCO Highlights of Dalmatia by E-bike and Boat
We had a wonderful time on this tour. The Harmonia is a beautiful boat and well provisioned. There are some signs of wear and maintenance needs to be checked carefully room by room. The staff was terrific if not experienced—- seems like this US problem exists everywhere.

Adventure and history with a supportive crew.
Highlights of Gozo E-Bike Tour
This was by far the best activity on Gozo. We had an active immersive experience and managed to see historic landmarks we would otherwise not have known about. The e-bikes were comfortable and well maintained and our tour guide was fabulous; both professional and friendly. Could not rate this high enough.

Bruge to Amsterdam by Bike & Boat
Bruges – Amsterdam by Bike and Boat
I loved seeing Belgium and Netherlands by the calm pace of the bike and barge. It was exciting to see and experience the cities, small towns and villages, countryside, canals, forests, and farms & communities where people lived. The barge was comfortable, staff was great and the food on the barge was fabulous. I would definitely consider another trip by bike and barge.

Most Scenic Least Effort Bike Tour Ever!
Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails
Scenery was incredible every single day. Paths were easy to ride and easy to navigate. Bikes were flawless. Hotels were mostly family run places with lots of local character in great locations with wonderful food and drink. Book it now and thank me later!

Great trip
Portugal's Atlantic Coast
Awesome bikes. Unbelievably awesome bikes. New, well outfitted, plenty of room for Our stuff. Bright orange and easy to see. Nice shocks. Included water bottles, nice touch. Tool helpful, small and big pumps helped, great to have all locks on the same code. Well thought out. (Might want to add a mirror to each).
As a company, very responsive, solved problems (new bike to Kathy, moved sick people), very timely. Even when we changed our flight at 10pm the night before, they adjusted the pick up time immediately. Instructions on the bus helped (Q&A). Good use of time. Final spreadsheets, individual itineraries, love it.
GPS ride app very easy to navigate and filled with useful info (sites, HILLS, distance, percent paved, etc) Downloading trips a must. They even suggested we bring spare battery chargers for the ride. Good tip. Trip Plans app also nice as a single place to understand the trip, sites, lodging, and overall itinerary.
Hotels rocked. Super well located for the cities to be explored. Clean, excellent buffet breakfasts. Buffets are the only way to go. Rooms in Obidos probably a bit small, but the location of the main hotel, with our own private brewery and courtyard was outstanding
The hauling of bags to the big bus in Lisbon was a bit challenging. They said we should be prepared to haul them for a couple of blocks. Well, the blocks in Wixom are smooth and “mostly flat”. We didn’t know that we would need repelling gear and sherpas for the big day. There is probably a tough balance between hotel location, size of group, and proximity to the bus, and city activities.
Possibly a van that makes a couple of trips with just our bags and we walk
The biketours people are used to biking Europe. Perhaps a “difficulty rating” like in golf.
For groups who are not “hard core bikers”……like all of us. We’d encourage an extra day in each city. This would allow for time to visit as well as recover. This was always presented as an option…..but we’d recommend that they suggest it as the norm.
Overall Rating: 9.9/10, Outstanding event and fun to see everyone. Would we recommend to others? Absolutely, and we already have multiple times…..including the specific tour company. Super impressed by how everyone was able to adapt to new cultures, driving habits, cobblestones, mountains, tour buses, crash sites, food, and people. When we tell people about the trip they are blown away. It was an adventure and challenge. Feather in caps.- What was the date of your tour?

Fantastic holiday
Florence to Rome: Bike through the Heart of Italy
Our trip through Italy was wonderful. Our guides Florian and Nicki looked after us in everyway. Very informative and worked so hard to make our trip memorable. Every hotel was top quality. Every meal delicious and excellent guided tours around Florence, Rome, Assisi and Perusia. This was our first cycling holiday, we we're a bit wary, but we loved it and it won't be our last.

Wonderful trip among the Alps
Tauern Bike Path (Salzburg-Salzburg)
This is our fourth self-guided bike trip with Bike Tours (Tuscany/Umbria, Romania, Greece, and now Austria from/to Salzburg). It is the new benchmark.
The bike trails were glorious and often in the country and along the rivers, usually
paved. The hotels (except for the last one near Salzburg) were excellent. The bike equipment was first class and very appropriate for the bike trails and occassional gravel.We are in our late sixties, so having so much of the trip on bike trails was special. The countryside was green and when we saw the Alps after some cloudy days, it was awe-inspiring.
This is a special trip.

Great trip were almost everything offered was delivered
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
The Danube valley and all the town along the way were beautiful. The Austrians were almost always friendly and helpful. The tandem bike was exceptionally well equipped being in good condition and plenty of detachable bags. The directions for the most part worked and the bike path was fantastic

Awesome Adventure
Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
This was a a beautiful ride through mostly flat terrain. I ride a lot and my wife rides a limited amount. She enjoyed this tour so much that she suggested that we do a bike tour next summer also. The lodging was excellent and the food was good to excellent.

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 nice 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.
