  • Dolomites to Trieste
    (5/5) Wendy Harris June 17, 2024

    Stunning Scenery!

    · Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps

    Almost the entire trip was on beautiful, well maintained bike trails. The scenery was spectacular during the entire ride and we loved riding from the Dolomite Mountains to the sea. The hotels were all very nice and the bikes were very comfortable. Everything was well organized and went smoothly. Great value too!

    Good weather, amazing Dolomites

    · Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)

    Based at a friendly family hotel where we were served bountiful delicious food prepared from local products, we were able to enjoy each days ride with energy and enthusiasm. Our bikes were comfortable and reliable. We appreciated the app to keep on track and to be alerted to places of interest to visit and to get to know the areas we visited. The locals were welcoming too.
    The rides provided enough challenge for us without e-support although we could choose level of difficulty with the variations offered.
    A great week in the South Tyrol valleys and meadows.

    Great family bike trip

    · Loire a Velo: Orleans to the Atlantic

    Our trip was from Orleans to Tours, 4 total days of great biking, seeing the country side and visiting small villages. Biketours made it easy for us to navigate our route, sights and hotels. Having great information about the trip prior to our arrival and at our arrival was very organized. It was worth it to get the castle tour and dinner package. We would use Biketours again.

    Excellent trip and better than expected!

    · · South Dalmatia Bike/E-bike and Boat

    We had a wonderful time on our visit to the Croatian Islands. The biking was wonderful and gave us a good overview of the islands with beautiful views. The islands were better than we anticipated and absolutely beautiful. The accommodations were comfortable and the boat was well maintained. The crew on the boat was exceptional, and the chef was very accommodating to the four vegans on board. He created special meals for us that were consistent with the theme, but we’re also meeting our needs and absolutely delicious. We cannot say enough about our guides, Luka and Luka. What a delightful pair of young men. Very attentive during the rides and their classes on how to speak Croatian were hysterical. They were able to add in special sights and stops that were most appreciated. Also their sing-along on our final night. - what a fun time and great way to end the trip!

    Fabulous introduction to Sweden

    · Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg

    This was our third self guided bike tour and our first in Sweden. The trail was very well marked throughout, with the exception of within Gothenburg (and I think that was because of construction). The scenic views were spectacular. The hotels were similar to the ones on other tours. We opted for e-bikes and I’m glad we did as there was a lot of wind and hills throughout the trip, especially on the longest day. If you have the energy, I highly recommend taking advantage of some of the extras listed in the trip agenda such as the UFO monument or the Car and Plane Museum.

    Our guides were excellent .
    The only drawback was the menus . The food was good but you did not know until 5 minutes before dinner what the menu was .

    We have done many bike trips and this one was tops. The route is nearly all on dedicated bike paths, and when not it was on safe roads with little traffic. The maps and GPS and trail markings were easy to follow. Nice variety of country and ocean landscapes. Bikes and hotels (all with sumptuous breakfasts) were good.
