★★★★★ Shauna Holt 10 months agoFun way to explore Portsmouth!
· Portsmouth Islands & Harbor Bike Tour
What a great way to spend a couple of hours and see Portsmouth! Our tour guide Paul, was fantastic - what a great storyteller! The tour was a leisurely 10 mile bike ride, visiting multiple scenic locations, colored with tidbits of history and information about the city. Paul was very entertaining, well spoken and a pleasure to ride with. I highly recommend this tour if you want to explore Portsmouth from a different viewpoint!

★★★★★ Paul Banken 10 months agoAwesome trip
· UNESCO Sites of Albania
I rarely post reviews but wanted to share my experience with a recent cycling tour; the 10 day UNESCO tour of Albania. The tour was led by Armand and Mario. It was a fantastic experience. The tour was well organized, really well run, fun, the country beautiful, the local people friendly, the food incredible and quite varied. Our group of 19 were from many countries but really bonded well. The last days ride was unnerving for some due to strong winds and large vehicles; but the sag van was usually close behind if someone wanted to take a break. Not everything went perfectly, but Armand’s upbeat, energetic, and positive attitude in quickly handling the issues made things go quite smoothly. All in all; one of the very best, most enjoyable tours I have taken out of the 20+ to date.

· Sedlo Pass E-MTB Tour Zabljak
The best way to explore Sedlo pass. It was a very well organized tour and our guide Strale was fantastic. He gave us breaks when we needed so we were comfortable. Also he clicked us pictures at all the view points we wanted. My first experience on a cycle tour was amazing. Highly recommended.

From, boat to bike experience excellent
· · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique III (and reverse)
I was so impressed with accommodations. The food was generous and outstanding. Guides were great and bikes in tip top shape.
We never felt overwhelmed with forty people as the guides knew how to organize the groups. -
★★★★★ Austin Bragg 10 months agoBrilliant Experience - well named tour!
· Best of Slovenia: Highlights Across the Country From Bled to Piran
One of the best travel experiences we've ever had. The itinerary was very well put together ensuring enough time to visit some of the most spectacular gems Slovenia has to offer. Accommodations were very very good too - a real mix which made things interesting i.e. not the same old each time. Bikes were great - the app was excellent which we relied on heavily esp getting in/out of larger towns/cities. All in all, an unforgettable experience.

★★★★★ Wei-Wei Huang 10 months agoGreat experience.
· Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
It was our first biking tour as a family. The bikes were in great condition. We had one loose handle bar that we were able to tighten. We never needed to pump for the whole trip. The views were fantastic and we had a lot of fun as a family, especially with two teenage boys. We loved the small towns along the way. Most hotels were great with wonderful views (we prefer local hotels). We will do more in the future. Thank you.

★★★★★ Richard Olson 10 months agoEnjoyable journey
· Atlantic Coast of France
Once you have seen the major tourist attractions in France, this is a great way to see and experience smaller towns and the Atlantic coastline. Many uncrowded beaches- this area is popular for French tourists but without the crush of international tourists. You will interact with many that speak relatively little English- for us, this made the trip more interesting.
Our bikes were reliable, well-fitted, and well-tuned. We encountered no mechanical difficulties. (If you do get a flat tire, you are expected to know how to deal with it, which was fine with us.)
The routing was excellent, with mostly car-free paths or single lane roads that had only farming-related (slow) vehicles. Mostly asphalt surfaces, occasional crushed limestone, and rarely dirt paths. Many options for stopping at excellent cafes or restaurants, including one place we found out (upon leaving) has a Michelin star. The north to south routing is desirable, as the scenery gets better each day. The routing app worked extremely well, but it was nice to also have the printed maps as a backup.
Not crowded- there were a moderate number of other bikers, including some long distance riders (Norway to Spain).
We enjoyed having our hotels chosen for us- this added an element of surprise and anticipation to each day. Accommodations were varied in style, but they were all outstanding- with excellent breakfasts, and located in nice towns with many restaurant options. Hotels all welcomed bike-tour customers (generally treated us like VIPs.)

Beautiful Tour of the west coast.
· Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
A wonderful way to explore the Swedish west coast. The bike trail is easy to follow, relatively flat, and was almost exclusively on a paved trail. The trail winds its way along the coastline, with distances between towns very manageable. We stayed in excellent accommodation with lots of time each day to explore. All in all a fantastic family bike trip.

★★★★★ Jim and Linda LoBue 10 months agoA rewarding challenge
· Lake Constance to Lake Maggiore
We knew that the ride would be a challenge for us, especially the climbs, but with the efficiently working e-bike assistance, we were able to make it work and that was a reward in itself. We have done multiple Europe tours through BikeTours and this was the first time that we followed an online map app. It worked very well. We were disappointed when we first arrived and realized that there would not be an orientation meeting with a live person. But, with the printed instructions and the app, it worked smoothly. A number of times during the tour we saw on our phone screen that we had made a wrong turn and were able to quickly correct the mistake and stay on track. The hotels were all first rate, with the exception of Buchs, where the hotel was undergoing extensive rehab work and we had to walk through construction zones to get to our room. Our only real complaint about the hotels was, with the exception of the Lugano hotel, they had no air conditioning. At least a fan would have helped us sleep better. But overall they were very nice and we were treated with fine hospitality. The scenery and the sites were amazing. It was a wonderful break from the sweltering California summer heat.

★★★★★ Clair Robbins 10 months agoA great trip through Germany!
· Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz
The tour was beautiful, great scenery and easily bike able! We used the luxury package and were very impressed with the accommodations. Four out of the five hotels exceeded our expectations. Overall we had a great time biking, trying wine, and visiting castles. We found the pacing to be good. A nice amount of biking each day with time to explore along the way. Only a few pieces were stress. It was difficult to navigate the final city due to ongoing construction. And our last day involved a boat trip and it was difficult to coordinate getting the tickets for the boat. That being said, it was an amazing trip and we would go again!

Wonderful!
· Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg
Everything was great - from the planning (thank you for addressing every question and concern) to the execution. The bikes were terrific (though in one bike storage room someone must have knocked into my bike and messed with the front derailleur). Scenery and lodging great. Thank you!

I am so glad we did this tour. It was so informative and fun. I took my 12 and 14 year old sons and they loved it too. We had Ashley as a guide and she was excellent. She gave a clear view of what was coming next and great insights of D.C. I highly recommend.

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.
