  • Bike to the best of Budapest
    (5/5) Olivera 3 months ago

    An enjoyable and informative tour

    · Budapest Highlights Bike Tour

    An excellent tour with an interesting, knowledgeable and friendly guide. We loved it despite the rain that poured for almost half the tour. The guide gave us an opportunity to choose whether we wanted to continue or to drop the tour and join a different group the following morning, which was really convenient. Highly recommendable!

  • Soak up Stockholm’s most sensational sights
    (5/5) Anne 3 months ago

    Fun ride with knowledgable guide around Stockholm

    · Classic Stockholm Bike Tour

    Super tour through Stockholm, a safe ride with our knowledgable guide (Lucas), who shared different perspectives on both the city sights and their history - and the country in general. Saw a lot of important landmarks and other sights - with longer or shorter stops - telling interesting tales and gave background stories where appropriate. Including a "fika" stop - naturally. Thanks for a super tour - we really enjoyed it.

  • Emerald Tour of Slovenia’s Gems
    (5/5) Julie Krey 3 months ago

    Enjoyable ride through Slovenia

    · Emerald Tour of Slovenia’s Gems

    Very much enjoyed our bike ride. Flawless support and organization by the local partner as well as the GPS map enabled us to enjoy the ride without the hassles. Beautiful countryside and very friendly people and excellent accommodations. Only slight improvement would be a bridge detour and new road out of Muggia that were not on our GPS that would have been helpful.

    Exploring Rhodes on an e bike is an amazing way to see the island

    · Rhodes Sunshine or Sunset E-Bike Tour

    We got to see so many beautiful areas of Rhodes. The tour guide stopped us at multiple beautiful sites to take pictures. We enjoyed being on the bike and fresh air! The best way to experience Rhodes in my opinion

    A Natural Wonder

    · Bergen to Sognefjord: Cycle Norway's Greatest Landscapes

    We had an incredible experience on this bike tour. The trip was so thoughtfully planned by the local tour company. Not only are you biking along some of the most beautiful natural landscape in the world, you are staying at iconic historic hotels (complete with delicious meals included!) and experiencing so many facets of Norwegian culture. Highly recommend! This is my 3rd bike tour and I could not recommend enough

    I will note two things:
    1. we lucked out with beautiful weather. Perfect sunny, blue sky days for our whole trip. If it were raining and cold, it would still be fun but just know that the weather is unpredictable
    2. The cycling occurred on roads shared with motorists. 95% of the time this was totally fine because the car traffic was so infrequent, but keep this in mind if you prefer not to share the road with cars.

    (5/5) Janet Lee 3 months ago

    Exceeded expectations!

    · Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)

    Our group of 4 opted for the self guided tour. The e-bikes were great and we are happy we chose them even though we are all able-bodied cyclists. There are a few hills where the e-bike made the trip much more enjoyable and they are smooth pedaling for flat terrain. The hotels were all charming and very convenient to the towns. Breakfasts were always amazing. The only downside was lack of directions to and from the hotels to the daily route. We got lost and back tracked often. Wish there were simple written instructions as the maps provided didn’t give any turn by turn instructions.

    Wonderful Experience

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

    My wife and I had a wonderful experience on this bike tour of Belgium and Netherlands. The barge itself was very nice, and the crew and guides were even better. Every night the chef exceeded our expectations with a great dinner. The best part were the friendships and fun we had with the other folks on the tour.

    I felt like a kid again, riding through amazing landscapes, swimming in the sea, sleeping under the stars, and laughing tell it hurt while playing games on deck. Our guide was charming, engaging, accommodating, and hilarious and the crew was attentive, friendly, and fun, constantly scanning the conditions to ensure our route was safe and enjoyable. The food was delicious; abundant, varied, and authentic. And I met fabulous people with whom I continue to share my travels. This was a life changing trip.

    Fun and Family-Friendly Bike Tour

    · Budapest Highlights Bike Tour

    We chose to do this tour privately since we were traveling with four small children, all riding on the back of our bikes. Our guide even joked that we set a new record for the number of toddlers on a single tour! The ride was relaxed and enjoyable, with several interesting stops along the way. The final stop, on an island in the river, was a highlight, giving the kids a chance to play and explore.

    Such a fun way to explore the city! The route was quite scenic, and our guide Lajos shared cool facts along the way. Loved getting around on bikes, mostly flat, easy, relaxed, and a great vibe overall. Would totally recommend!

    Well, done

    This trip truly exceeded our expectations. The bikes were in great shape. The staff was very knowledgeable and considerate. Our tour lead, the great Allie, was very well informed and interesting at the various stops without being a licensed guide.
    Both my wife and I love the small plates, similar to tapas.

    Only one negative we never did get the sales up.

    Dream cycling trip

    · · Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    There was no surprise that cycling along the Danube through 4 Countries would be amazing, but the whole boat experience was fantastic.
    The boat was in pristine condition and a lot bigger than I ever imagined, combine that with the most friendly helpful staff and top quality restaurants level food every day.
    I was mainly going for the bike riding, but honestly I could have really enjoyed myself almost as much by staying on the boat and not riding at all. I will definitely book another trip in the near future.

    We enjoyed every minute on and off the boat! Great covering of sites on the Danube! The meals was excellent, our compliments to the chef! The staff on board was very friendly and efficient, especially in the rooms and in the dining room! The Swiss Crown totally fulfilled our needs except for the insufficient wifi!
    The explanation of routes could improve, as well as the provided app, that kept disappearing. The maps in the book was not well displayed, which made it difficult to follow while cycling along. I suggest a bigger sized booklet or a daily map!

    Trip was better and more luxurious than anticipated

    · · Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    We had an amazing trip on the Swiss Crown. The food was above and beyond! All the staff were friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. The bikes were in great shape and checked daily. Everything was clean and organized. The wifi was unreliable and app provided for navigation didn’t always work for us. I was happy to have preloaded the routes on my Naviki app. We had purchased an e-sim which worked well. Having said that we would do it again, and probably will book a different trip with this company. They were awesome

    This was my first experience with a bike and barge trip. The tour operator did a first class job. The crew were very professional. The food was delicious. Our guides were very knowledgeable about the history of the places we visited. They kept us safe in areas where the terrain was challenging or where there was a bit of traffic. The cycling was as described as level 1. The experiences along the way were educational and highlighted the Italian culture. Overall a wonderful experience!

    From the moment we arrived on board I felt welcomed. The entire staff went out of their way to answer questions, offer help and with a smile. The captain took his job very serious, but also had a sense of humor. Our director, Leslie, kept us laughing as he presented valuable information on the boat, bike routes, city tours, etc. The actives on board like 70 & 80's music night and karaoke night were so much fun. I have not danced and laughed so much in years. I will be going again and have already told many friends they need to book this trip!

    It was a wonderful trip

    · Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)

    I thought Bike Tours did an excellent job for us. The rental bikes were like brand new. My wife and I rented e-bikes and our son rented a regular bike. After the first day our son wanted to upgrade to a performance bike. Bike tours met us at our first destination and swapped it out for an up charge which was agreed upon earlier that day.
    We opted for the upscale lodging and I feel it was well worth it. All rooms except for one were larger than I expected by European standards. All lodging included a gourmet breakfast that you do not find in America. The fresh breads were amazing.
    The bike paths through Germany and especially Austria our beautiful and well maintained. It's hard to explain your feelings as you ride through mid-evil villages, explore Castles, Monasteries, and Cathedrals that go back to the Roman empire.
    The Capstone of our trip was to watch the Lipizzan Stallions perform at the Spanish Riding School in Vienna.
    The planning, communication, self guided app provided by Bike Tours was excellent. It would notify you if you left the route and reroute you if you needed it.
    We had a wonderful trip.
    Thank You,

    (5/5) Mike S. 3 months ago

    Traditional Italy

    · Cycling and Cooking in Sardinia

    Wonderful tour with a company that values safety, quality equipment and cultural exposure. The route was exciting and safe with lots of bike paths and some secondary on-road travel. The guides stopped to point out cultural and natural points of interest. The selection of small boutique hotels that offered a greater immersion into the Sardinian culture was appreciated. The foods and meals were in most cases traditionally Italian . Really enjoyed the cooking classes , wine tasting and olive oil tastings/classes. Be prepared for a busy schedule with most days ending around 9-10 pm. Always had some down time of a couple of hours in the afternoon to relax, cleanup and swim in a pool. The pools were a little cool due to the early season lower temps but felt good on the legs! The bikes were terrific and nobody had a problem with lack of power. The guides kept everyone safe and had a good sense of humor. I would highly recommend the tour. Very professionally operated!
