Excellent trip

· Munich & the Bavarian Lakes

It was a wonderful trip and a great way to experience the region. The trails were beautiful and the accommodations were quite charming. On a couple of occasions, the maps didn’t correspond exactly to the locations and in need of updating - meaning, the trail began or ended not exactly at the hotel. But overall, we had a wonderful experience and highly recommend this.

A most delightful week meandering through the countryside in both The Netherlands and Belgium. Fabulous bike trails, perfect weather, great group, and an outstanding tour guide. Exceeded my expectations for sure. The barge was superb, the bikes easy to manage, the briefings each evening were thorough and precise. Simply wonderful experience.

Exceeded expectations

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

The Bruges to Amsterdam went far beyond our expectations in every way!! Our boat was attractive and comfortable, rooms and bathrooms were clean, comfortable and updated with all we needed, our meals were fabulous, the ship crew was warm and responsive and the guides were terrific. I was especially surprised by all the “extras”, the unexpected city tours or optional activities at the end of the day. We were perhaps “lucky” to get such wonderful guides and fellow passengers with this tour or perhaps all of the tours are like this. I can not say enough about how great this trip was

Great Way to Experience the Algarve

We had a wonderful adventure riding along the Algarve. We loved that we rode on different surfaces and saw a lot of variety. The GPS was a little slow at time with directions.

Wonderful Trip

· Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz

Everything about the trip was perfect especially the accommodations and bike supplier who was very helpful. The only problem was the trip itinerary schedule did not match the actual hotel destinations which caused considerable confusion for the first day. Once that was realized the trip was perfect..

Personalized package

Ireland’s West Cork on Tranquil Lanes Following the Coast

Amazing 7 days Every day great views, luxury hotels, gourmet food, friendly caring people. Don our local host.was always very professional, on time, clear instructions and full of inspiration. Nothing was a problem for him. You set your own pace but Don, turned up to rescue you if required. He made sure you did not miss out on any of the highlights. Likewise if you needed a more challenging route he could deliver that as well. (But I didn't need that service!!!). Thank you Don, for so many good memories.

Classic Vienna to Budapest

· Vienna to Budapest (Classic)

Trip was wonderful. The scenery got better as the trip went on. Hotels were wonderful and picked for easy in and out of cities. We used their GPS with Kamoot app and their paper turn by turn, we rarely got lost but some the terms were confusing such as; follow the dam, or follow the detour or right at the Y,. They have different meanings based on where you are from. Kirsten was great from Bike Tours and answered all our questions. Talking about a trip to Dolomites next year. Also the pretrip bike meeting was very beneficial. No fault of anyone, but got rained on for 15 minutes on the whole trip, mostly overcast, but great weather otherwise, was good for biking.

Dolomite Area Bike

· Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)

Varied rides with extensions for adding more sites and miles. Great local company. Bikes are best for easy bike rides. Adding all extensions to day ride made it better for us. FYI, there are two names for everything here. One in German, one Italian. The culture and food is mostly German. This trip begins in Niederdorf/Villabassa, not Toblach/Dobbiaco. That was confusing and biketours.com should update that.

Fabulous tour of Southern Germany

· Romantic Road and Bavarian Lakes

Delightful tour of the rural countryside outside of Munich. Roads were calm with little traffic and the bike paths were well marked. The written turn-by-turn directions were supplemented by a digital routing app, which greatly helped with navigation during the tour. The hotels were charming with friendly staff and breakfast never disappointed before heading out for our daily ride.

Lovely route along the Rhone

· Along the Rhône River from Geneva to Lyon

My friend and I had a great time on this self-guided bike tour. Navigation was fairly easy, and we liked having the option of short or long routes for several of the days. This itinerary gave us a good balance of time in large cities and small villages. Staying in Perouges was a highlight.

Beautiful and peaceful tour of Sweden

· Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg

This trip exceeded our expectations. The Kattegattleden is a beautiful, well-maintained network of bike trails along the coast, through farmland and cute towns. We had great weather in early September, and no crowds. We rented gravel bikes and they worked out well for us. The hotels were great, with wonderful breakfasts, and we enjoyed the spa in Varberg. We recommend the various detours suggested, such as to Mölle (we enjoyed hiking at Kullaberg) and Fjäråsbräcka. Sweden is very bike-friendly and the people were very friendly as well.
