★★★★★ David Hodgson 9 months agoGreat scenery in Alentejo
· Castles and Wines of Portugal
Very nice self-guided tour of the Alentejo region. Very good hotels and itinerary, decent bikes, good support from the tour company. We went in October 2024 and it was a bit wet.

Awesome trip!
· UNESCO Sites of Albania
Perfect way to experience Albania! The itinerary was a good mix of city and countryside. The scenery was beautiful and the people were super nice. The length of time on the bikes each day was perfect- starting out slow and ending with a bang. We were glad that we got e-bikes. We got a little exercise but able to enjoy every minute. The food was great- always fresh and local. Our guide Mateo was very attentive, informative and helpful. His fluent English made things easy. Roxhens, the van driver
was always attentive, making sure we had plenty of water and charged batteries. This was our first guided bike trip and we highly recommend to anyone wanting to experience Albania!- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ Joan Sawaya-Orgeldinger 9 months agoGreat last minute trip
· Balkan Treasures
We booked a somewhat last minute trip and did the Balkan Treasure self-guided trip.
It was our first time doing a self-guided bike trip and we didn’t know what to expect. Our dedicated tour operator was incredible, quick to reply and assist when we needed him. He also gave us great ride recommendations in addition to the scheduled routes.- What was the date of your tour?

· · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique II (and reverse)
This was my first organized bike trip, and the bar has now been set incredibly high! I had an amazing experience. The boat was a delightfully comfortable home for the week after biking. The guides, Arnold and Marie-Jose, were knowledgeable, helpful, and kind. The food was outstanding!

· Rhodes Sunshine or Sunset E-Bike Tour
We enjoyed our e-bike through Rhodes. Cristos was a great guide and kept us safe. The bikes were comfortable and easy to manage. I would recommend this tour if you want to get a fun overview of the city. We were able to see so much more than walking.

★★★★★ Donald Weidinger 9 months agoLate October Excellent
· Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
Self guided tour, equipment no issues worked well, all hotels were excellent--excellent breakfast food and service, and the best comment is how quickly Bike Tours reacted to unplanned items (1 of 4 bikes was not right size, BT delivered replacement before 9am on first day even though BT contact was 7pm the night before, ie, quick response. And, we mistakenly left a necklace and bag in Tulln, BT delivered the necklace and bag next day.) Every breakfast meal was excellent in quality and variety, many with 4-5 meats, fruits, vegetables, baked items. The map and directions were clear and easy to read. The 15euro train from Munich to Passau was easy and within walking distance to Passau's Hotel Wolf. We cannot wait to do another tour with BT. The weather Oct 10-17 was wet (no problem) with few other riders (no crowds no where), we believe the perfect time to go. Ages 67-70, 2 couples.

★★★★★ AK Winters 9 months agoUnforgettable trip, memories that will last a lifetime!
· · Dutch Hanseatic Cities, Harbor Towns & Natural Wonders by Bike and Boat
The Best Way to Experience Dutch Culture in the Netherlands is soaking up all the culture and vast landscapes by bike. The towns were beautiful and the routes did not have much traffic. The majority of this tour is flat and takes place on quite bike routes which are very scenic and calm. The guides were more than helpful, patient and knowledgeable assuring everyone in the group was safe and offered knowledge about the areas (thanks Hans!). The accommodations aboard the Maginifique II were more than I expected, very comfortable and clean. The crew was fantastic and so much fun! Our meals were superb as the chef was amazing. I definitely recommend this tour for anyone who wants to explore Holland. Thank you Biketours.com, great job!

A tour of appreciation for authentic Holland
· · Dutch Hanseatic Cities, Harbor Towns & Natural Wonders by Bike and Boat
This trip should be your one-stop-shop when seeking to experience authentic Holland. We spent a week sailing along the country's grand rivers, watching the authentic Dutch countryside drift by outside the window and biking out to discover the stunning architecture of the historical Hanseatic towns, as well as Amsterdam on the first and final day.
Our tour guides, Hans and Tom, almost felt like family by the end of the trip. Hans was upbeat and full of passion and Tom was full of recommendations when we explored each town.
The atmosphere on board the boat was great and the staff were exceptional. All of them were friendly, full of fun, and helpful so mealtimes were brilliant (as was the food). The boat was extremely clean and our cabins were very comfortable.
The biking itself was very enjoyable and at a pace that meant everyone could enjoy the experience of cycling and soaking up the rural views. My favourite sections were in the atmospheric forests with the dancing trees - we went in autumn so the colours were incredible!
Overall, this was a relaxing and comfortable way to bike and boat through Holland.

Best Guided Tour Ever!
· UNESCO Sites of Albania
UNESCO Sites of Albania was the best guided tour I have ever done. Not only did the food and scenery exceed their reputations, the accommodations and bikes were excellent. More importantly, our guide and driver/mechanic were extremely efficient, knowledgeable, helpful, and cheerful—they left us wanting for nothing! I highly recommend it.

★★★★★ Cheryl B 9 months agoAn unexpected delight
· Northern Spain: Cantabrian & Asturian Coasts
My husband and I took a week out of a 3-month tour of Western Europe to do this ride. We were very pleased with the staff, routes, accommodations and bicycles. Compared to the rest of our trip, we hardly had to think about anything except which charming village to explore. Between the online information, the print-outs provided, and the tour preview from the staff, we navigated easily and had many points of interest to choose from. I ride an electric bike at home and am glad I got one for this ride. My husband tackled the rolling hills, which were much more challenging than the terrain at home, on a manual bike. I was pleasantly surprised when the staff reached out before a rainy day to tell offer us a ride to the next town (my husband chose to ride and I was happy to be warm and dry). A word to the wise: The hotels provided hearty breakfasts, but pack snacks and fruits for the rides and hotels with limited food options.

· Milan Hidden Treasures Bike Tour
Our guide Maya was so well informed about Milan’s history. She made it such an enjoyable and interesting ride. I was concerned about cycling through Milan because the city is so busy but we took back roads or stayed safely in bike lanes. My husband and I have been on numerous bike tours around the world and this was one of our favorites. Highly recommend.
