★★★★★ Bob Anderson 1 week agoHistorical-Adevnture- Amazing guides
· Danube River and Black Sea
This bike tour was a history lesson on wheels. We started by visiting the WW1 Museum for an amazing experience. Deyan, the owner of the tour company and our guide and daily history lesson instructor was outstanding! His knowledge and enthusiasm of the local history came shining through in his daily lessons. The ride takes you past a large variety of terrain from rolling fields of corn, sunflower and wheat to large orchards of apricots, cherries and peaches. The riding surface included asphalt, dirt and gravel roads. At one point we cycled on an ancient Roman road along the Danube River. We experienced amazing views while riding along the coast off the Black Sea. We had two spur of the moment stops to visit with some locals making traditional Bulgarian Lutenitsa. The locals were eager to share the tradition of making this delicious Bulgarian treat.
Romania and Bulgaria are two countries that are climbing in tourism. Plan your visit before they become new tourists hot spots. You won’t regret it.
As always bike tours are a great way to experience local culture and make new friends at a relaxed pace.

· Alsace Wine Country
This was our tenth European bike tour. We have pedaled many of the countries around Germany, but never in France. Beginning in Strasbourg, the rich history and architecture of the region take their grasp. The first two days were flat and easy, enjoying the quiet between cornfields and canals. The quaint villages along the way are filled with stone and timbered houses, cobblestone streets and ponds with serene swans. Some of the hill country through the grape/wine road presented challenges, but nothing that could not be accomplished. We enjoyed the German influence on the local cuisine, along with the famous wines of the Alsace.

· · National Parks of Dalmatia by Bike/E-bike and Boat
Cool towns, friendly people, food is more on seafood side other ships can have more variety apparently. I've done this route - or variations of it - a few times. Highly recommend this e-bike tour to see the "game of thrones" part of Europe. Definitely go for a swim in the Adriatic.

· San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour
Our family absolutely loved this Golden Gate Park bike tour! The kids were thrilled to see the bison up close, and we all enjoyed wandering through the Japanese Tea Garden — it felt like stepping into another world. The pace was easy, the guide was patient, and it was the perfect mix of nature, history, and fun for all ages.

· San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour
As someone who loves learning while traveling, this tour checked all the boxes. Cycling between the California Academy of Sciences and the Conservatory of Flowers gave me a fresh appreciation for how diverse Golden Gate Park really is. The guide’s stories about San Francisco’s history and the quirky spirit of Hippie Hill made the park come alive in ways I’d never imagined.

Very Enjoyable Golden Gate Park ride!
· San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour
This tour was awesome! Riding through Golden Gate Park felt like cruising through different worlds — from peaceful pagodas to herds of bison (yes, real ones!). The e-bike made it easy to cover so much ground, and the windmill stop was totally Instagram-worthy. 10/10 would ride again!

· San Francisco's Golden Gate Park Bike Tour
If you’re visiting San Francisco, do not miss this! Golden Gate Park is so much bigger and more varied than I expected — from lush gardens to wild bison, it’s a feast for the senses. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we had plenty of photo stops. This was the highlight of my trip!

Guide and crew aboard the Merlin was fantastic. They were courteous, knowledgeable, hard working and accommodating. Weather not the best but it didn't dampen spirits! Really enjoyed the unique experience of a boat/ bike trip to see Germany. Would definitely consider doing it again !

· Champagne Getaway: Charming Villages & Regional Wine Cellars
This self-guided tour was fantastic. The routes were well planned on lightly trafficked roads. The accommodations exceeded our expectations. And the champagne was extraordinary. We could not be happier with our selection of Bike Tours to provide services to us for our tour. We would not hesitate to recommend the company and this tour to our friends and family.

· · Holland by Bike and Boat, Northern Tour
The staff and crew were top notch and our guides were superb. The bikes were comfortable and we were well-prepared each day for our semi self-guided rides. The guides were always available along the route to help with directions or point out must-see sites. What a great way to see the Netherlands in an intimate way. We experienced the beauty of Holland in a way that could not happen in a car. I will be back to the Netherlands and I will also use boat/bike format for other tour destinations in the future.

★★★★★ Steve, Catherine, Nathan and Beth 1 week agoAlex is an amazing guide
· Road Bike Tour from Dubrovnik to Herzegovina & Back
The day-long ride from Dubrovnik to Bosnia (and back) with Bike Tours was a ride we will remember fondly for the rest of our lives. The scenery was spectacular, the route was interesting with a perfect balance of challenge and enjoyment.
Lunch was wonderful at Zavala - we were welcomed like old friends!
The day was memorable as the seasonal Bura wind made things cooler than normal. Everything was expertly and professionally managed by our guide, Alex. He was personable, knowledgeable and conscientious. He took great care of our safety, and made sure that we really enjoyed our day. He gave us thoughtful options for the route - and he even quickly and efficiently changed a tire puncture near the end of the ride! In addition to guiding our journey, Alex provided us with interesting information, good stories, and shared unique, firsthand knowledge of the culture. He even took a moment to pick some carob beans and introduced us to a new snack food!- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ MB 7 days agoAlbania welcomes you!
· UNESCO Sites of Albania
This was an enjoyable ride with some absolutely gorgeous mountain ranges and coastlines. There are no bike baths on this ride except for the first day. The rest of the time you are on roads with varying degrees of vehicle traffic. Rarely a car in sight in the country but they are constant along the coast and towns. Accommodations were relatively modest but clean. If you are looking for 4 star hotels and amenities it won't be on this trip. Every lodge had a continental breakfast, some were definitely better than others. The visit to the monastery of St. Naum was worth the extra ride the first day. 2nd day ride to Korçë was decent not overwhelming. However, thanks to a tip from Lilliana at the Hotel we had dinner at a delicious steak house called "Repulika". Off a little side street with not so great signage. Best meal of the whole trip. The best part of the day 3 ride to Sotire was the last 3 or 4 mile climb up into the forest. The cabins were a treat and being way out in the country was delightful. The ride to Permet was when the mountains came into full view. Beautiful ride. Would recommend riding to the Stone Bridge to check out the thermal pools which are about 4 miles past the lodging. The word thermal is a misnomer. If you have time, take a long walk past the bridge up through the canyon to get away from the crowd around the bridge. The ride to Gjirokaster was manageable and relatively car free. However when getting closer to town the vehicle traffic increased. Gjirokaster is a pretty touristy enclave. The castle is worth the visit if only for the views. Sarande & Himare were beautiful seaside towns. Sarande was larger and had more bustle to it. If you are planning a layover day you can take a day ferry over to Corfu. We prefered Himare, but the city center was a short bike ride from the hotel. All in all I would recommend this trip. It had a great range of topography from farmlands to forest to mountains to coastlines. I would highly recommend an ebike unless you are in superior shape. No fun pedaling with your head down for hours on end. Do your work outs at home. You're on vacation! Go now because in 10 years this will be a very different country
