A great way to start exploring Europe by bike!
Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers
This trip was great! The route we followed was very doable for everyone in the group, with mostly paved trails and followed well-posted rivers. Our hotels were each unique, charming and comfortable. Every city we stayed in had things so see on a short walk and all the meals were great! Our guides were knowledgeable, kind, and great company. Every day felt unique and the group got closer with every ride and shared dinner together. This trip was definitely a great memory that I will cherish for years to come.

Tales From the Danube Cycle Path
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
This was the trip of our dreams and was so great, I had to write a book about it!
We had amazing sights along flat paths, delicious wine in wine country and met interesting people. Navigating from the app was a bit challenging and there may have been a corn field we found ourselves in in Hungary where the paths weren't as easy to follow. However, it all added to the adventure. BikeTours was easy to work with and I highly recommend them.- What was the date of your tour?

Experience Albania
UNESCO Sites of Albania
This was the perfect way to see and learn about Albania. Our guide, Juli, was knowledgeable and enthuastic about his country and shared his love of Albania throughtout the tour. His leadership style was inclusive and entertaining as each individual became a valuable member of our cycling group. The tour covered varied terrains that included open countryside, orchards, mountain view vistas and shoreline. We were rewarded with delicious family style meals that were fresh and authentic to Albania.
This was a lifetime experience!- Countries included in this tour?

Educational, relaxed and great afternoon
Classic Munster Bike Tour
Great experience. Rüdiger was our guide, and he was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, taking us on the town bicycle loop, to the nearby Aasee, Seitenflügel Palace, in-town churches, a local restaurant (while it rained) and other attractions. Overall, the City of Münster is wonderful and very biker friendly town. We are planning a return visit.
We didn't realize you needed to bring your own bikes (not clear in the description), but Rüdiger and our two other companions were very flexible in getting us to the main train station to rents bikes (only 9 Euros per bike for the day).
Also not to miss is the Saturday (or Wednesday) Wochenmarkt, which is set up amd available in the main square before the tour (only goes until 2p) .. great food and market items in a vibrant setting.

Tremendous Tulip Tour!
Holland’s Southern Relax Tulip Tour
My husband and I enjoyed this tour beyond measure! The room on the barge, tho tiny, was functional and cozy. Our guide Burt was super cool and knowledgeable of the area. There was 26 riders, so perhaps a second guide would have been helpful, but it worked just fine with one. The scenery was unbelieveable and we LOVED seeing the tulips and riding through the bucolic countryside. Be sure to dress warm! My favorite pull was through the Dunes, otherworldly habitat for Holland. Every meal on the barge was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful. If you like riding bikes and appreciate flowers, gardens, and bird life you will love this tour!

Incredible variety and breathtaking views
Camino de Santiago: From Porto to Santiago de Compostela
This trip follows the Camino trail from Porto to Santiago de Compostella which is a heavily trafficked by pilgrims, most of whom are walking. It was delightful to share the trail with them in May since it wasn't very busy or crowded yet. The trail itself is incredibly varied; it changes every 5 minutes and covers just about every terrain type you can think of including pavement, cobblestones of every size, gravel, packed dirt, single-track dirt, unridable rocks/boulders and tree-stumps (you have to walk your bike on those parts), mud, sand, boardwalks and sidewalks. It's very well marked and almost impossible to get lost, especially with the GPS device they give you (which is fantastic). There is quite a bit of climbing, so be prepared for that. Don't even think about using anything but a mountain bike on this trip. The cities and towns you go through are so beautiful, and the food was fantastic. The trail follows the coast for much of the distance, which is lovely. We got the 5-star hotel package. Only one of the hotels was a true 5-star hotel, but the others were 4-stars, and they were all pretty good. Not every town has a 5-star hotel nearby, of course. We're in our low- to mid-50s and found the trail manageable and fun the entire time, even when it rained.

An absolutly amazing trip!
Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails
I loved every second of this trip! I had absolutely no problems with the bike, hotels, or routes. The scenery was just unbelievable the entire ride. I was worried about the weather but had a nice split of sunny and just slightly overcast days. I deviated from the route on 2 parts to add some extra miles and elevation and even had a blast with that! I would highly highly recommend this trip to bikers looking for a gorgeous ride.

Fun week in Umbria!
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
This was our third self-guided bike tour with Bike Tours and once again they did not disappoint. The Umbrian countryside was beautiful, the food and wine the best and the people very friendly. We especially enjoyed the Country House and Carla’s hospitality. Her meals were wonderful and we enjoyed meeting her family. Paulo (local tour rep) was also great and he and his wife were able to make some last minute changes for us to take advantage of the weather. Only a couple of climbs all week although the last one into Assisi is a doozy.

Wonderful family vacation!
Castles and Wines of Portugal
Our self-guided tour lived up to our expectations and provided us with a great family vacation. They tour company did an excellent job of responding to our questions and requests. The countryside was beautiful, the bike ride was the right level of both challenging and gentle hills, and the people we met were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to chill out....

So much fun!
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.

Outstanding Bike Path & Landscape
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
In most location there were separate bike paths and no possible danger from automobiles. Only challenge were the directions. Just not clear for a first timer on this trip. Scenery was magnificent: bucolic countryside dotted with charming old villages. Hotels varied. Delivery of forwarded luggage excellent and timely. Most hotel breakfasts were fresh and first class.

An Amazing Adventure
UNESCO Sites of Albania
All I can say is WOW!
But actually I will say a bit more.The scenery, the food, the people, the guides and of course the climbs- all made for an amazing 8 day journey in Albania.
Our guide Arjan was simply the best! He quickly got to know all 19 riders and made sure that we were comfortable with our bikes, rooms, etc His encouragement kept me going on those long and arduous climbs. Our driver and bike mechanic was a whizz on the road and with bike tools.
I loved the variety of places in which we stayed- from farmstays to luxury seaside hotels.
And the food- this is one of the only bike tours I have been on where every meal was provided. And it wasn't just peanut butter sandwiches. We were treated to a wide array of Albanian dishes - including lots of veggies, cheeses and freshly caught fish.
I am 70 and chose a road bike. While it was incredibly difficult at times, I am glad I stuck with my own pedal power. However, e-bikes are a fantastic option and unless you are a proficient climber, I would highly recommend an e-bike.
We had an incredible group of riders from around the world- from Australia to the US with numerous European countries in between.
The value of this tour was amazing. I give the tour company a lot of credit for providing a fantastic tour at a reasonable price.
The only recommendation I would have is to either limit the group to a smaller number or add an additional guide or helper.

This is a must do!
Wilmington One Tree Hill E-Bike Tour
I don't even know where to start. This tour was everything. The beautiful scenery and seeing all the OTH sites with Eric at the helm was one of the coolest experiences in my life.
My 17-year-old daughter and I came to Wilmington for OTH, and would not have gotten to see or experience all the things like we did on this tour. If you're a die-hard OTH fan, you HAVE to do this. It was definitely my favorite part of the whole vacation!
Eric was so fantastic; his enthusiastic personality and passion really came through and made this a memory that will last a lifetime. He brought fun props and took a bunch of pictures and videos and sent them to us!
Eric, thank you for this special day! You are awesome!
