★★★★★ Melanie 2 months agoScenic, tasty, and totally unique!
· Dubrovnik Peljesac Bike Tour with Wine & Oyster Tasting
This tour was the highlight of our trip - cycling through beautiful Pelješac, tasting fresh oysters right on the water, and sipping local wines with a view. Great balance of activity and relaxation. Highly recommend for foodies and nature lovers alike!

Our group had an amazing time on the Dubrovnik Pelješac Bike Tour - great energy, beautiful scenery, and just the right mix of activity and chill. The oyster and wine tasting was a unique touch that brought everyone together. Fun, relaxed, and unforgettable, and yes, we’re still talking about it back at the office!

★★★★★ Frank S 2 months agoA good trip
· Vienna to Budapest (Classic)
Overall a very good trip. We have bike along the Danube from Passau to Vienna and that trip was more scenic. This trip was very flat and went through a lot of farm land and nice towns. While we were very close to the Danube most of the time, we could see it less than half of the time. The hotels were excellent and the breakfasts were alway very good. We had a rough start in that pretrial communication was not optimal and we could not get the combination of the bike locks. Other that that things went smoothly. At one point, we were told to follow an embankment along the Danube River. The trail was not paved and there were two ruts about 6 inches wide and an inch deep and foot long grass. That is where the GPS told us to go. I had a fall, which also happened to another couple along the same trail. Other than that the trails and road were good. The riding instructions were more or less accurate but were off by 1 kilometer or more at times despite the instructions being to the nearest 0.1 Km. The GPS was critical. You need a good battery on your smart phone, because if it goes dead, you could be in trouble just following the instructions

· Strasbourg to Mainz: Imperial Cities and Charming Landscapes Along the Rhine
If you are our age, 75-80, we recommend using an e-bike. We enjoyed the trip but definitely too hard with a touring bike at our age! The signage was 90% OK but there was about 10% questionable signage which needed google's help.
In our modern times, where everybody uses a handy, all hotels should have USB outlets, which was not the case -
★★★★★ Ivan 2 months agoAnother bike tour on my bucket list ticked off
· Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
This ride is a terrific way to see the Peloponnese. I found the section from Sparta to Gytheio the most interesting, with trails through olive and citrus groves. The Byzantine site of Mystras is well worth spending time. With a warning that to visit takes a while and the road to it is very steep particularly if you’re visiting the Frankish castle above the monastery buildings. Being in my 70’s I was grateful that I ordered an e-bike, but 22 kms from Gytheio I ran out of battery and had to pedal the distance and doing this with 26 kilo bike wasn’t easy. Organisers may consider an e-bike with a larger battery power. The battery lasted just long enough to complete the beach tour from Gytheio the following day. There were a variety of trails and not too much peddling on main roads. The hotels were very good and friendly service.

Wonderful adventure. Strongly consider e-bike option due to strong headwinds switching between north and south. This is a new trip and we were on the maiden voyage, so the guides were becoming familiar with the routes available. Great food and ambiance.

· · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)
we thoroughly enjoyed this trip, from the greeting on the first day to the tearful goodbyes on the last. We can’t say enough about the crew on the Magnifique IV, they were so busy yet did a great job!! Our tour guides for the bikes were a blast, made the kilometers melt away. We would do again in a heartbeat!!

This bike tour was such a fun way to see Paris for the first time! We rode past famous sights and hidden places I never knew existed. I loved the mix of history, art, and little surprises along the way.

★★★★★ Tom 2 months agoBike ride down the Danube
· Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
The tour was very well organised, the accomodation was of a high standard without exception. The included evening meals were generally of a acceptable standard.
The premium bike that was provided was far too big and as a consequence I had to ride a different bike one which did not have a crossbar. This bike was very heavy and I found it difficult to manage.
The Pedalo navigation App generally worked OK although I had to re install it a number of times to get it up and running again. I was grateful I had it as my Garmin 1030 device failed to function.- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ Axel Sellgren 2 months agoA true Discovery og Portugals Atlantic coast.
· Portugal's Atlantic Coast
We were a small Group of 4, renting 2 regular bikes and 2 e-bikes. The bikes vere new and very well kept. The ladies found the e-bikes very comfortable, they were easy to handle and lightweight with enough battery to help extra in all uphills.
The Hotels on the trip were comfortable 4 stars and all except one, a very special one, The Letterman, had elevators to ease taking our luggage to Rooms. We enjoyed the stay at The Letterman anyway, never been to a hotel with that amount of books everwhere.
Our tour was selfguided and the route for every day was easy to find with the app « Ride with GPS» and GPX files to choose from. We liked the simple and effecient mounting of our phones at our steeringbars.
We can understand there was no offer going this Trip from south to north, as prevailing winds from the Atlantic were North/northwest and ofte gave an extra push from behind.
The app «Trip plans» was a new and very good guide and help for the whole Trip. We have been going on such bicycle trips for 20 years in Europe and never had somerhing like that, We love it! Thank you, and We recommend this Trip.- What was the date of your tour?

· · Provence by Bike and Boat
This slow way of travelling is perfect for savouring Provence on all levels…
Captain Willy and crew were extremely friendly, attentive and helpful. Our bike tour guide Michela was very safety conscious as well as informative and inclusive, all done with her Italian humour! The schedule was packed but never rushed. It helped that our group was cohesive and respectful of each other…and punctual! The food was excellent and our bow berth beyond expectations.

Enjoyable easy ride along the Danube
· Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
My wife and I are 71, so we appreciated the fact that this was a really flat trip along the river. The entire trip took place on a separate bike path, even if you were traveling along side a roadway, the bike path was physically separate from traffic. Along the way, there were many nice opportunities to stop for an afternoon coffee or a mid day meal. The hotels we stayed at were very nice. The bikes we used were e-bikes, and they were fantastic. The local bike support was super responsive - our only issue was in trying to contact one of the hotels, we could not understand how to make a call in Austria. We called the bike company service line, and they took care of us!

★★★★★ Dieter D. 2 months agoUnique experience to discover Siem Reap!
· Siem Reap Countryside Bike Tour with Lunch
Sing was an excellent guide, we visited a local market, rice fields, wate reservoir lake and more. It was a very beautiful bike tour, I can recommend! Keep in mind that it's very hot, especially when riding a bike, so be sure to bring enough water! Tour is suitable for adults/kids, even for those that don't often bike like me, yet an okay physical health condition is recommended to keep up with the pace!

Great
· · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)
Enjoyed the trip. We enjoyed the scenery. We enjoyed the barge. The floors of the barge are stunning. All the personnel were wonderful and I appreciated there pitch-in attitude. My only suggestion in regarding the biking, is that because E bikes now allow folks who are not bikers on these trips, that the groups always be divided into two. That first day when we had such a large group going through busy Ghent was uncomfortable. Those at the front asked to wait at corners, waited over 15 minutes isolated and it was not clear if we were going to have the Support to find the boat. I suggest also a discussion about not letting big gaps form within the same group, so those being supportive at the corners are not waiting. ( I’m not suggesting that they ride right behind someone, just not perhaps multiple hundred yard gaps. Really loved the tour.

Experiences along the Atlantic coast of Portugal
· Portugal's Atlantic Coast
The biketour along the Portugal's Atlantic Coast was one of our best bike tours, of many. We experienced a wonderful nature, with steep cliffs, long sand beaches, green landscape, and with numerous villages in between, both idyllic and historic. Before start, the guide gave us a thorough introduction of what to see and expect. Under way, we had very good help of tour maps and trip plan in mobile apps. Alternative routes were helpful, for adapting our energy for elevation and road surface. We found the hotels to be both inviting and comfortable. Bikes were new and very good. Generally, the tour was very good planned and organised.

★★★★★ Kelli P 2 months agoWonderful way to see Lisbon and get a feel for its history!
· Hills of Lisbon E-Bike Tour
Our guides were attentive, instructive, fun and so loaded with historical facts! Oriana led at the front and Roberto (Mr Bean) kept us safe and entertained. We loved the narrow streets and energy of the city. We have brought visitors to this group several times and it’s always a highlight. Even if you need to take it slow, it’s ok, you’ll be taken care of and have a great time. I bring a water and a snack but they do make a stop at a beautiful lookout that has vendors for water and lemonade (think TART). Don’t be afraid! E-bikes are a blast!

★★★★★ Giuseppe B. 2 months agoIt met my expectations.
· Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
The chosen route was well designed, and both the guide and the support driver did a great job leading the group, clearly explaining the route in advance every day and prioritizing the group’s safety and comfort. The route's duration and difficulty level are suitable for well-trained road cyclists, though there is always the option to ride with an e-bike.
The organization should pay closer attention to the standard of the hotels. While some exceeded expectations in terms of accommodations and service—such as Hotel Perla—others should be removed from the hotel offering, such as Hotel Marija 2.- What was the date of your tour?
