  • Innsbruck to Lake Garda
    (5/5) Don c 2 months ago

    Retirement at its best

    · Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps

    This was our second trip with biketours.com and did they deliver. We had a great trip. The Bikes were excellent and Hotels were very nice. Great job. The only issues we had was finding the starting points in town. It was very challenging go say the least. A suggestion if I can: A pin on Google maps of starting point would have helped immensely. That aside it was the trip of a life time. Great work bike tours.com. Our appreciation for all those involved with setting this tour up.

    Amazing Trip!

    · · National Parks of Dalmatia by Bike/E-bike and Boat

    An incredible way to explore the coast of Croatia, including several islands and national parks. What a beautiful country! Our guides, Tara and Serge were the best - well organized, great communicators, personable and fun! The Magellan is a beautiful boat, well equipped, with a great crew. The food was fabulous. Our e-bikes were very comfortable and the daily mileage was very manageable. It was nice to have time for the walking tours, exploring the towns on our own and eating dinner in the local establishments several nights during the trip. We went at the end of August and the weather was perfect, in the 80s, which meant we could swim off the ship in the Adriatic Sea every day. A big bonus! Definitely recommend this trip with no hesitation.

    (4/5) Shanda 2 months ago

    Gorgeous Coastal Ride and Villages

    · Portugal's Atlantic Coast

    Portugal is a very welcoming and beautiful country to visit. The villages we stayed in were charming, hotels were wonderful and the people were very kind to us. I especially loved Sintra and Cascais. However, I would not do Portugal by bike again as there is way to much climbing and traffic/tour buses to fully enjoy the views. At the start of the ride some of our bikes had shifting issues and we experienced dropped chains and a lot of gear skipping. Luckily we had a bike mechanic in our group who made adjustments and we were able to continue the ride without outside help. I would suggest the gearing be replaced or fixed before anyone rides bike #12 again. It has an issue around gear #5 that our mechanic said needed fixed in a shop.

    (5/5) Rebecca 2 months ago

    Beautiful and peaceful tour of Sweden

    · Sweden’s West Coast: Helsingborg to Gothenburg

    This trip exceeded our expectations. The Kattegattleden is a beautiful, well-maintained network of bike trails along the coast, through farmland and cute towns. We had great weather in early September, and no crowds. We rented gravel bikes and they worked out well for us. The hotels were great, with wonderful breakfasts, and we enjoyed the spa in Varberg. We recommend the various detours suggested, such as to Mölle (we enjoyed hiking at Kullaberg) and Fjäråsbräcka. Sweden is very bike-friendly and the people were very friendly as well.

    Amazing trip

    · Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps

    We had never been to Austria or northern Italy before and this was the perfect way to experience this region. The biking was almost all on bike paths and not difficult. The scenery was incredible. The accommodations were comfortable and well paced along the route. I would do this same trip 100 more times and find something new to explore each trip. The scenery was stunning. We loved every minute of it (even the day in the rain) and would book with this again 100%.

  • The ultimate bike tour of unforgettable Versailles
    (5/5) Donna-Lee Langton 2 months ago

    Thoroughly enjoyable day.

    · Palace of Versailles Paris Full Day Bike Tour with Picnic

    I have nothing but positive things to say about our bike tour and the guided tour of Versailles. Great guide and really nice group of people. Riding through the palace grounds and the town was the perfect way to cover a lot of space without exhausting ourselves. Visiting the market and buying all of the items for a picnic was really fun. Having a picnic on the grounds of Versailles Palace, at the end of the Grand Canal with the palace in the background, was almost surreal.

    (5/5) Holly B 2 months ago

    A perfect mix of activity, relaxation, and culture

    · · National Parks of Dalmatia by Bike/E-bike and Boat

    We traveled with two other couples - none of us had been to Croatia before, so it was new for everyone. The convenience of the airport to the port and the detailed instructions on embarking put us all at ease.
    Our cabin was comfortable and clean and there was plenty of room fit socializing and games during down time. Our guides were awesome- professional, fun, funny, knowledgeable and very attentive to the group. We were lucky to have a wonderful group from various parts of the world to get to know.
    The rides were a good length each day with some challenging terrain, but very doable with ebikes. The tours that were arranged at various ports were a terrific add and each of the towns we were in port at felt safe and easy to explore in.
    Overall, this was a trip that was well-priced- not fancy, but safe, clean, and fun.
    I would highly recommend this adventure!

    (5/5) Tim H 2 months ago

    One of the best!

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

    This was our 10th bike trip with Biketours and our group of 6 had a wonderful time. Basing in a single hotel was unique and worked well with no packing/unpacking. The routes and the app from Fun Active, the local provider were great. Scenery was spectacular. Would highly recommend Hotel Lauris with its included excellent spa (great after a day of biking) and their included nightly 7 course dinners (maybe too much food??). Taylor, from Bike Tours, was very responsive and helpful, as usual.

  • Tauern Bike Path
    (5/5) Steve H 2 months ago

    Krimml to Salzburg in 3 days

    · Tauern Bike Path (Krimml-Passau)

    This was our 2nd time to ride the Tauern Bike Path. This time, however, we shortened it to 3 days - Krimml to Salzburg, spent a few days in Salzburg and then to Prague by train. All 3 riding days were superb in displaying God's magnificence. Day 2, Zell am See to Lofer, was definitely the best of the 3 days. Hotels were superb in every way, even accommodating our request for gluten free and lactose free options for my wife at breakfast. Gasthof Hochmoos in Lofer is my all time favorite hotel in Europe, from accommodations to scenery and location. An easy downhill ride, but e-bikes make the trip more leisurely for any level of biker. There are a few short climbs but nothing too demanding. Happy to serve as a guide for anyone needing a helping hand!!!!

    This tour was a wonderfully relaxed way for our whole family to see the city's highlights without exhaustion. The ride through the green oasis of Tête d’Or Park was lovely, and the children absolutely adored the free small zoo with the giraffes and primates. It’s a comfortable, easygoing experience that mixes great sights with a very tasty culinary reward at the end.

    What a great way to travel!

    · Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula

    Great trip with some really great people on our trip with us. So many beautiful locations along the way. Very hot during the day in Greek Summer, so keep that in mind. There were sections of roads that were not ideal for bikes (on busy roads for not more than a few kms at a time) with not much in the way of a shoulder to ride on for sections. Some pretty steep downhill sections as well, so need to be careful in parts! Overall though, a great experience. Looking to add similar trips into future travels!

    You should do better in some locations with the hotels. The last 4 day, not much to see. Is just pedaling to get to the next town. Dont do the 14 day unless you just like to pedal. Better rent a car in Nantes and continue that way to Le Croisic.

    A Wonderful Self Guided Bike Trip

    · Cycling Spain's Ebro River

    This trip was excellent in few respects.
    The organization, communication with the company and follow up by Inshaaf during the few weeks leading to the trip were efficient and timely.
    The routes were spectacular and both the written guides provided to us by IberoCycle and the RideWithGPS courses made the navigation easy and the stops easy to find.
    The inns were not luxurious but were nice, clean and functional. Breakfasts and dinners were great.
    This trip exceeded our expectations.
    We were wowed by the views of the countryside and beauty of many of the villages we cycled through.
