★★★★★ Shelley 2 months agoBustling cities and quiet small towns
· · Danube Discovery: Bike and Boat through Enchanting Capitals
This trip is a perfect balance to visit thriving, iconic cities and then take in small towns on a peaceful ride along the Danube. Overall, the experience was excellent. The boat crew/staff were friendly, enthusiastic and efficient. The 3-course dinners were top notch and my cabin, which wasn't a bad size, was always spotless (lots of hot water - a bonus). All the bikes were ready to go when we needed them and loaded back on at the end of the day. The bike routes were well laid out and very easy without an ebike - very flat. We got stuck in a river lock on this trip and had to spend a full day on the boat - not the operator's fault, but there wasn't much to do on the boat except relax. The Prinzessin Katharina is more basic that some of the other boats we saw, but the value is certain there. I would recommend this trip.

· Loire Valley & Chambord E-Bike Tour with Food Tasting from Amboise
Would have appreciated knowing sooner about the cancellation so we could have made other plans. The bike tour was the main reason we came to Amboise.

BikeTours.com staff reply from Jan October 18, 2025
Our sincere apologies. Timing of cancellation was (and often is) out of our control and we did our best to act and inform as quickly as possible. We hope you come back and travel with us again.

· · Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Fluvius (and reverse)
I love the bike/boat mode of travel. The biking and the App were great. The food was excellant. My one complaint was that it was billed as an English language tour, but more than half the group was German speaking. There was a head guide and an assistant and the head was much better, but spent the majority of his time with the German speakers.

· · Danube Experience Bike and Boat Passau-Vienna-Budapest-Belgrade-Iron Gates-Passau
There was an unforeseen closure of the Danube due to bridge construction. This caused us to spend extra time on the boat. We had 2 full days on the boat with almost nothing to do. I think there could have been a bit of planning to provide activities in the event that plans change. They did give a class on how to change a bike tire which was good but that only took an hour. Dance or knitting classes, group games, contests, something to occupy a very active biking group would have been great.
The packing instruction seem to have been written for a shorter trip. There was plenty of room under the beds for luggage. There is no place in the rooms to set up a clothes line to dry clothing. -

Great experience
· · Danube Experience Bike and Boat Passau-Vienna-Budapest-Belgrade-Iron Gates-Passau
Boat accommodations, staff and meals were excellent. Excursions were excellent. Tour director was excellent. Internet and cell services were spotty. Navigation app did not work consistently. Some days there was not enough time to stop and see things along the bike route.

The cycle was easy on the legs through parts of the city we may not have normally visited. Our guide was great, spoke perfect English and was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about his city and country. Would highly recommend.

Tudo muito bom. Hotéis bons. A reunião de apresentação foi mal planejada. As 20h a portaria do hotel já estava fechada e o representante da bicicleta ficou do lado de fora.

★★★★★ Andrew C 2 months agoOct 2025 Atlantic Coast
· Portugal's Atlantic Coast
We had a great time with perfect weather first week of October as we made our way down the coast. The service provider was pretty much perfect with pick up, luggage transfer and final transfer. The hotel selection was v good to amazing (Ericeira).
Electric bike is NOT an option on this trip as the climbs were 2000 to 3000 feet daily many at steep grades.
Be aware the bike infrastructure is a work in progress in Portugal so there is a lot of time on roads but the drivers were all respectful. The route uses a lot of small secondary roads that are quiet but from time to time you’ll have to ride on a local highway. The route includes several more remote gravel agricultural roads along windswept heights along the ocean. English in any random village cafe is just fine and in the bigger cities excellent. The Portuguese seem very welcoming and pleased to have you there.
The last morning downhill from Sintra mountain through the forest park on perfect pavement arcing through the pine forest with revealed vistas to north and south is something I will always remember .

★★★★★ Kim S. 2 months agoSporty trip down the Danube!
· Danube Bike Path 5-nights (Active)
Such a great way to experience this historic river and scenic countryside! An extra day before beginning my journey allowed time to relax and explore Passau. Hannas arrived at the hotel on time and provided information regarding the bike and route, very helpful. The route map provided was my main source for navigation and points of interest. I had some difficulty using the nav app but the R1 route is extremely well marked. A few extra days afterwards in Vienna topped off the trip. I’ll plan to return next year for another section along the Donau (Danube). The tour company made it very easy with prearranged hotels, luggage transport and route planning, will definitely use them again.

We loved our bike tour through the rolling hills and quaint villages of France. We especially enjoyed visiting the UNESCO Heritage Sites and wished we’d had a little bit more information on this history of the region.
Would it be possible to include some not so famous sites that are worth visiting on your map interface such as chapels, wineries or cafes worth visiting ?- What was the date of your tour?

Great itinerary
· Danube Bike Path 5-nights (Active)
From the welcome on Night 1 to the hotels along the way, the trip was well-planned; the guide who did our first night introduction was very thorough and helpful. Luggage pickup/dropoff was timely, which was a relief since we had to bike in the rain 2 days. Beautiful and interesting scenery along the way. Definitely recommend.

The ride down the coast to Sausalito was gorgeous, and the town itself is so charming with its maritime history. We highly recommend taking the ferry back to Fisherman’s Wharf for the amazing bay views.

· Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring
This was a self guided adventure on great hybrid bikes supplied by Daniel. The route was well planned and the accommodation was exceptional - Orlot being the standout. The notes about the route were very scant but we managed to research and discover some real gems - in the history sense as well information about the geography of the area. We appreciated the marked out paper maps supplied by Daniel.

★★★★★ Muffy C. 2 months agoAs relaxing as it gets
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
The tour truly lives up to its name. It offers the perfect blend of cycling, sailing, and exploring some of Greece’s most stunning islands. Each day brings something new, charming whitewashed villages, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful coastal roads with breathtaking views. The combination of guided bike rides and relaxing moments aboard the ship makes it both active and rejuvenating. The crew and guides are friendly and knowledgeable, and the food and atmosphere on board are excellent. A wonderful way to experience the Greek islands from both land and sea!

I've been looking forward to this trip for so long
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was an absolute joy on so many levels. The cycling routes were beautiful, the boat was a perfect place to relax, and the onboard chef was fantastic. Our group was a great mix of nationalities — four couples and three solo travelers — which made for a fun and friendly atmosphere. One of the couples was actually on their honeymoon, adding a lovely and positive energy to the experience. The crew was professional and pleasant, though they kept a bit more to themselves than on some other trips — perhaps understandable, as it’s the end of a long season for them.
