Superou as expectativas!
Danube Discovery: Bike and Boat through Enchanting Capitals
Foi maravilhoso visitat quatro países que não conhecíamos. Fizemos uma viagem em família e a equipe do Princesa Katharina manteve o clima, nos alocando com outra família - extremamente simpática e com a qual tivemos excelentes momentos - para além das refeições, encontramo-nos em alguns dos passeios, de tanto que nos demos bem. Todos no navio foram receptivos, com destaque aos funcionários - sobretudo a guia Michaela, também brasileira e extremamente prestativa. Visitamos lugares para os quais jamais iríamos se não tivéssemos esse roteiro, paisagens maravilhosas no interior de países que, apesar de tão próximos, têm características bastante marcantes. Adoramos, também, conhecer algumas capitais: isso tornou a viagem mais animada. Sem dúvida, os pontos fortes desse tipo de passeio foram a facilidade de transporte: afinal, não precisávamos nos deslocar a todo momento com as bagagens, pois nosso “hotel” todo se deslocava. Isso evitava cansaço e desgaste, permitindo que a energia fosse poupada para passeios de bicicleta: vias muito bem sinalizadas, mapas bons, guias sempre dispostos e lindas perspectivas do Danúbio. Não posso deixar de comentar sobre os deliciosos pratos que comemos, além das opções diversas e frescas do café da manhã/almoço. Amamos os passeios a que fomos, além de alguns pratos típicos que o próprio navio ofertou (como o Snitzel. Obrigado por essas férias incríveis, Princesa Katharina!

Best cycle trip ever!
Dordogne Valley: Between the Dordogne and Lot Rivers
I have been cycle touring for over 20 years. We did this tour, as we do most, as a self guided tour. The bikes were excellent, the assistance from the bike tour company was fabulous. The bike route through the Dordogne was a lovely combination of changing countryside and medieval villages. It was planned well around various tourist sites. The road surfaces were excellent. The accommodation and included continental breakfasts were all good. I would definitely recommend this bike tour company and this particular tour.

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!

Great relaxing bike tour around Lake Constance
Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)
The trip was well organized and hotels we were in were very good and clean and easily reachable from the bike route. We were there in mid-September which is very nice because the weather was cool and tour groups were rare at every stop.
The only suggestion is that there is really not much to do in Sank Gallen and the trip could have easily be cut one day shorter and not lose anything.
One hint in Konstanz : Go have Tapas at a small restaurant called Sabores. Best Choriso. We ended up going there 2 of the 3 nights we spent iin Konstanz.- What was the date of your tour?

Beautiful Spain!
Medieval Villages of Catalonia
Best curated trip I’ve been on so far. Hotels were pretty and comfortable and had wonderful staff. Bikes were in great shape and loved the electronic gps devices provided. The creative Catalonia folks were over the top helpful. Great mix of beaches, medieval villages and scenic views of the mountains and the med. Highly recommend.

I’m Giovanna’s fan
Learning Italian from the Saddle: Language Classes & the Coast of Apulia
In overall the experience was fantastic.
The region is beautiful, the wines great, nice restaurants, nice bikes and most of all our teacher Giovanna. I became her fan. When I returned home in Milan, I could understand Italian much better and speak a little.
If the group was bigger than ours, two families only, an end of the line additional guide to look after the low speed participants would make the front group biking experience more pleasant.
We also had a small accident with no big consequences that was handled by the guide and one participant that was a doctor. But if anything worst happened, I’m not sure what type of rescue would be available.
Me and my wife were lucky that the other family was fantastic. The bond was 100% and only happy moments all the time happened.
In other tours with other companies, there was always someone that became an unpleasant weight for the group due to the attitudes.
I recommend this tour.- What was the date of your tour?

Perfect way to explore the city
Krakow City Bike Tour
This was now the third time that I go on a guided city bike tour in general, so I can now officially say that I'm hooked on this type of city sightseeing. I don't see any better way to get the idea of a city, but by touring it on a bike, and visiting the most important sites, with a local knowledgable guide revealing you the city's stories, and history.
Very well organized and executed, dynamic, informative, and entertaining at the same time. Great job, guys!

A perfect area to explore on a bike
Sedlo Pass E-MTB Tour Zabljak
We're astounded by the beauty of Durmitor Mountain, in all its heights. We did this tour by bike, and we've done it by car before, but there's no comparison. On a bike, you truly connect with the surrounding nature. Our guide was a super cool local guy who spends six months a year in Žabljak, showcasing what his homeland has to offer. He says he never gets tired of it, even though he's been a million times. I now understand why.

A good opportunity to try local food at the best spots!
Street Food Bike Tour Palermo
You get to taste iconic local dishes like panelle and sfincione, something typical for Palermo solely, while exploring bustling markets and hidden food stalls. The guide shares interesting stories about the food's history and local traditions, making it both a delicious and educational experience. It's perfect for food lovers who want to experience Palermo's culinary scene up close. Highly recommended!

A joyous ride
Gaudi’s Barcelona E-Bike Tour
We took this tour with our two kids (ages 4 and 6). The younger one rode in a bike seat, while the older enjoyed the ride on a trailer with his dad. The stops along the way were a perfect chance for them to unwind, especially the one at Barceloneta. We even stopped at the Sagrada Família, where they spent 20 minutes enjoying the playground in front.
Our guide, a young and proud Catalan, gave us a wonderful introduction to Catalan history and traditions. The city itself is perfect for biking: it’s flat, spacious, and easy to navigate. As a family, this tour gave us a great overall impression of Barcelona. Outside of the tour, we had been focusing mostly on kid-friendly sights, so it was amazing to also discover some really cool neighborhoods we would have otherwise missed.
Truly a gem and I’d recommend it to anyone visiting the city!

Great adventure
Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps
We had 7 perfect days of weather and beautiful scenery at every turn. We got a real taste of Austria by traveling its backroads and bike lanes. The hotels were excellent and breakfasts were substantial and delicious. One of our best vacations ever, looking forward to another trip in the future.

A great way for a grandfather to take grandchildren captive
Danube Family Tour 7 Nights
I had done the Danube ride with my son in 1991. We brought our own bikes to Europe that year and did the trip using only a map and the excellent signposts for guidance and finding overnight accommodations on the fly. I turned 78 last summer; and after waiting years for his children (there are 4 of them whose ages last summer ranged from 15 - 21) to get to an age where I could feel safe with them in my charge, they agreed to come on this ride with me. To be sure, the bikes that were provided were not road bikes or even high quality hybrids; but they were reliable and comfortable to the point that my non-biking grandchildren had no problem with saddle sores or other discomfort. While the overnight hotel facilities for which Biketours had arranged were not of 5 star quality, without exception they were very, very good (comparable, I would say, with Embassy Suites and similar) The hotel keepers were especially hospitable; and the food offerings were varied and of very good quality. Biketours delivered on every single thing that was promised. In fact, they exceeded expectations. Most important, it was a memorable experience that I'll look back upon for the rest of the years that have been allotted to me; and the kids had a grand experience and a fun time. Assuming that travel to Europe is still worthwhile when they have teen aged children of their own, I know my grandchildren will want to take them on a Danube Family Adventure.

Very fun
Bolzano – Verona – Venice
Trip was well organized and very scenic. Would recommend. Lodging was generally very nice. First couple days were most scenic. A lot of gravel and dirt surfaces which I’m not used to but was fine on hybrid bikes.
