  • Holland's Hanseatic Cycling Route
    (5/5) J. Anderson 12 months ago

    Glorious!

    · · Holland's Hanseatic Cycling Route

    This is an amazing way to see the heart of Holland and all its history. Our guides were fantastic, the weather in late October was on our side, and the accommodations, food, and staff on the Magnifique II did not disappoint.

    Leafde fan Fryslân is a stunning ship!

    · · Netherlands Bike & Sail Adventure: Wadden Sea and IJsselmeer

    I can't fully speak for the cycling part of this tour - though have personally biked all over Holland many times - but was on this ship for a private dinner event earlier this fall. It's truly a stunning boat (they recently expanded and refurbished it) and I'm 100% certain it will provide for an amazing holiday experience in and around an area that is also UNESCO World Heritage site.

  • San Francisco at its most spectacular

    Highlights of San Francisco Bike Tour

    If you guide knows his way around this can be a very flat ride, if not and you are not a regular cyclist I suggest an e-bike. This tour has tons of views that most of us have seen in movies or on television for years. if you have never been to San Francisco this is a great way to see a lot of it in not too much time. I suggest spending as little time as possible in Fishermans Wharf (it's very touristy and not really what San Francisco is all about). For a fantastic local post ride beer check out Zeitgeist in the Mission. (It's in the Mission on Duboce and Valencia if memory serves.). Zeigeist is local institution that is unlike any beer garden you've ever been to.

  • Reach new heights in the hills of Lisbon

    Great way to see Lisbon Hills on an ebike

    · Hills of Lisbon E-Bike Tour

    Guides were awesome, views spectacular, and if you like history this ride is for you. If you are not comfortable on a bike (or have never ridden an ebike) the cobble stone streets and tight traffic can be tricky but otherwise is was a fantastic experience.

    Great way to see a beautiful city on a bike

    Porto Downtown & Sightseeing Bike Tour

    Our guides were Porto locals so knew the town and its history inside out and backwards. We did a custom bike tour so got to see a bit more than usual which was all well worth it. If you are looking for a hotel recommendation, I can't recommend the Hospes Infante Sagres enough. It was one of the cooler old school hotels I've ever seen. When not on your bike, be sure the check out the nightlife along with its food and restaurants on both sides of the Douro River. We didn't get around to trying to some of the local port tastings (all of the major brands have huge cellars on the north side of the river) be had enough elsewhere. Also, there is a new shopping center on the north side of the river that we briefly biked past that is apparently also well worth seeing if you are into that sort of thing.

    A glorious way to see Marrakech

    · Marrakesh City Bike Tour

    This tour was a truly unique way to see the old city of Medina (a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the center of Marrakech). Cycling through the alleys of Marrakech with a wonderful local guide explaining what would otherwise be unseen by local tourists was fantastic. The pictures i added to this review don’t do it justice.

    A desert bike ride full of wonder and juxtaposition

    · Desert & Oasis Bike Tour Marrakesh

    This bike tour takes you through the desert outskirts of Marrakesh. Unlike the city tour, which I did the previous day, this ride has an entirely different more chill vibe. The hustle and bustle of town is nowhere to be heard instead you cycle through the desert, poor outlying villages (where we had a delicious traditional breakfast accompanied with tea), and past many stunning private desert compounds. See remnants of the ancient tunnels that brought water from the Atlas mountains to the city was also very cool. Note: I did this ride in mid-August. If you can't handle the heat, stay out in your hotel room.

    An iconic ride everyone should experiencce

    · Scenic Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco Bike Tour

    This is a once in a life time city bike ride with views you will never forget. Technically the "bike side" is on the western ocean facing side which I suggest you ride out. Coming back you can slowly weave through the tourists on the eastern side with an epic view of San Francisco Bay, Alcatraz, and the city of San Francisco. For the more intrepid cyclists you can continue on through Sausalito and loop back into Tiburon where you can catch a ferry back to San Francisco passing Angel Island and Alcatraz along the way.
