    · Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)

    This was our (3) time riding the “Passau to Vienna “ tour. Such a beautiful experience.
    I caught an illness on our flight from the states. Ended up being transported by ambulance to the hospital. Was unable to ride the next day.
    Tour operator arranged to have us and our bikes transported by a van to the next hotel.
    They were extremely helpful.

    Fabulous trip!

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

    Celebrating my 70th birthday on Magnifique II was a special surprise! Everything on board was above expectations. Clean, comfortable, invigorating. Meals were first class!
    I would recommend bringing eco friendly containers for lunch items as you will prepare your own lunch to take with you on the ride.

    Bike guides were informative and knowledgeable about sites and enhanced the experience.

    Definitely recommend!

    Fantastic journey!

    · Lake Constance Bicycle Path

    We did a self guided tour. We had so much fun in the villages with great food and accommodations, most were in the center of the towns. Great breakfasts and service in general. Felt fantastic to ride on the safe bike trails about 3/4 hours daily. We took time off to swim in the lake and get ice cream and relax in the many parks. Great history and a way to immerse more authentically in the vulture. I give this type of holiday my highest recommendation.
    Staff was always available for our concerns and questions.

    We had a blast on this trip — loved getting to see a bunch of small towns that we otherwise would never have visited. The biking was amazing (very very glad we sprung for e-bikes though!) and it was so great to arrive to our destination each day and have all our luggage already waiting for us! Would absolutely book another trip.

    Dieter and McKaela were fantastic. They ensured a flawless week. From bag service to roadside picnics to history lessons, they absolutely knocked it out of the park.
    My only suggestion is we had fish and small potatoes 4 mights in a row. It was disappointing not being able to select our entree at dinner. Even 2-3 choices would've been acceptable and we could've provided this in advance.
    We cannot say enough good things about the trip...absolutely fantastic!!

    Fantastic bike tour through the Swedish countryside

    · Stockholm and Sörmland

    Very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. However it would have been more enjoyable to have had the opportunity to spend more time exploring two of the villages. Maybe a two night stay in both Trosa and Mariefred. The tour of Gripsholm Castle was hurried and disappointed that two of the churches we stopped at during our ride weren’t open! Overall a wonderful time! Dieter and Michele were both very accommodating and nice.

    Wow! - what a fantastic experience gliding down the stunning Danube. The itinerary was first class - our bikes were just great while the accommodation, meals & service on the 'Manon' were all excellent. It really was an experience of a lifetime riding adjacent to the Danube on high quality pathways a lot of the time while also exploring some stunning sights along the way including some gorgeous towns.

    Great Trip!

    · Swiss Lakes by E-bike: Lake Geneva to Lake Lucerne

    Definitely recommend this trip. Scenery is stunning; hotels were great. Lakes provided a great way to cool off after each bike ride. Route is very easy to follow - very reliable signage for "Lakes Route #9" throughout the ride, so didn't have to rely on GPS much at all, which was nice - got to take in the views instead of constantly checking map to see if we were on track. I rode a normal bike, while my significant other rode a E-bike. Was perfect for both us based on our level of cycling. Lastly, hotels totally set up for e-bike charging + great breakfasts in the morning prior to each ride. Fun Times!
