  • Danube Four Countries
    (5/5) David Thomas 12 months ago

    Fabulous trip!

    · · Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    What a great way to visit four countries and bike through the lovely countryside. We chose to follow the map on the app ourselves and not have a guide which worked perfectly for us as it gave us more freedom to set our own schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed Leslie, our cruise director, who was full of energy and made each person feel special. The electric bikes were great quality and the crew did all the work moving them on and off the boat for our rides. This is a great introduction for us to the bike and boat world!

    Great family sightseeing option with knowledgeable guide

    · Krakow City Bike Tour

    Our whole family (2 parents and 2 kids, ages 5 and 8) loved this tour. We learned a lot and saw so much more of the city than we would have if we had tried to walk. Our kids really enjoyed it and even said, "This is more fun than I thought!" Mike, our guide, knew a ton about Krakowian history and also patiently answered all of our kids' questions. We also enjoyed meeting the other people in our group. I highly recommend this tour, whether you're traveling with family or not!

    Excellent Trip

    · Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)

    I would definitely recommend Biketours.com. We had a fantastic trip from Passau to Vienna. Nothing to fault in any of the hotels en route. The Rose Hotel in Maria Taferl and the hotel in Schlogen were particularly fantastic. Quick checkin always and luggage always ahead of us. I got a puncture on day one and my bike was replaced immediately. The app and directions were first class and so easy to follow. We hired E-bikes and they had a great range - never in danger of running out of battery. I would not hesitate to use this company again.

    Just stunning scenery and a great bike adventure

    · Romantic Road and Bavarian Lakes

    Just loved cycling the romantic road. Acconodation were good, the scenery was spectacular. There was only one place are stayed with air conditioning. It was very hot at night so had trouble sleeping. Ask the breakfasts were great. The APP was amazing, made it very easy to find your way. So much to see and do just a brilliant time had but us. Bikes were comfortable and the panniers were fabulous for sorting extra gear. Briefing was good, however my bike didn't have some issues even before we started and Thomas had no tool kit with him and couldn't adjust our bikes. Bags picked to and delivered waiting for when we arrived.

    I had a great time. Tour guides, Chryssa and Katerina we knowledgable, helpful and lovely. The crew were very accommodating and helpful. The food was great. I loved swimming straight of the boat into that lovely water. I would definitely recommend. The rides are short as advertised, but unless you are very good at steep hills, get an ebike.

    Solo and Sublime

    · Lake Constance Bicycle Path

    My first longer bike trip and I was a solo 59 year old woman in Europe. I loved it. The scenery, physical activity and options for exploring all the wonderful cultural aspects Europe has to offer was a perfect balance for me. The hotels were all nice and more than 1/2 were really excellent. The bike was well equipped and in top shape. I had only one day of rain but the public transportation is so amazing and bringing your bike is not a problem I had no worries. I would recommend this trip to all my friends. If they are not very active I would recommend the electric bike it is a perfect option.

    This is a must see part of the world!! This was my fifth bicycle trip in Europe and one of the best. The west coast of Sweden was absolutely stunning - beautiful beaches, cute villages, wonderful countryside. The people were tremendous. Language was not an issue. The bicycle trail is well traveled and easy to follow. It was a wonderful experience.

    (5/5) Lauren Hickman 12 months ago

    Incredible trip!

    · Bolzano – Verona – Venice

    This route exceeded our expectations! Each day had so much to see and experience. We so much enjoyed these smaller Italian cities with amazing vibes and hardly any crowds. And the ability to ride up and down the streets and take it in on a bike was a real gift. We were able to see so much more than on foot and go to places we never would’ve seen on a train or taxi. We loved this tour so much! So much architecture, so much history! I especially loved the transition from mountains to Mediterranean. The bikes we got on this trip had less comfortable seats than our last bike tour. Wish we brought our padded shorts! Also, highly recommend the e-bikes. Made the trip so enjoyable. Might have had some difficulty on regular bike. Do-able but quite tiring for a casual cyclist.

    Amazing experience

    · Camino de Santiago: From Leon to Santiago (Premium)

    Highly recommend this trip. The scenery and route are a nice mix of easier and challenging days, and doing the “self guided” option gave us some flexibility, but we were still confident in the route/directions. Our e-bikes were excellent. The hotels were also excellent - a mixture of boutique and traditional commercial lodging, but all clean and comfortable. Leon and Astorga were especially amazing. Loved it!

    He gave lots of information at various stops.... We had a wonderful time and highly recommend this tour & Dillon!

    (5/5) Luke J. 11 months ago

    Amazing!

    · Tulum 3 Cenotes MTB Tour with Ziplining, Canoeing, Snorkeling & Lunch

    Our guide, a local from Tulum, was friendly and well-informed about the area. The biking route was manageable, taking us through a mix of jungle trails, dirt roads, and some city riding. We always felt safe and the guide went over hand signals and safety before we left the shop.

    The Cenotes were crystal clear and full of wildlife like fish and turtles! I didn't know what to expect but this tour exceeded my expectations and was a highlight of my trip to Tulum.

    What to bring: A small backpack with essentials like a towel, sunscreen, and definitely bug spray—it's a lifesaver in the jungle!
