  • Danube Bike and Boat

    Bustling 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.

    Tour was cancelled morning we supposed to go.

    · 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 to Bruges

    Wonderful

    · · 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.

    Lovely trip

    · · 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.

    Really enjoyed the morning ride. Checked out the key landmarks and had a really informative guide who had tremendous knowledge of the city and Estonia in general. Thanks Toomas! Highly recommend

    Great way to see city and discover its history.

    · Welcome to Tallinn Bike Tour

    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.

    Oct 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 .

    A deep dive into SF's soul

    · Best of San Francisco E-Bike Tour

    This tour offered a beautiful mix of nature and history, truly capturing the city’s dynamic culture. Pausing in the Panhandle to see the redwoods, followed by gliding through the colorful, historic Mission district, felt like stepping back in time. It was a sublime, atmospheric experience that I highly recommend for culture lovers.

  • Danube Bike Path
    (5/5) Kim S. 7 hours ago

    Sporty 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.

    Splendid Cultural & Historical Lyon Immersion

    · Lyon E-Bike Tour with Food Tasting

    An absolutely splendid and refined immersion into the history of Lyon, this tour expertly guides you to the city’s most significant landmarks. The phenomenal panoramic views from the ancient Roman site of Fourvière Hill, overlooking the magnificent Basilique, were simply awe-inspiring and highly worthwhile. This is a cultivated and efficient way to appreciate the city’s UNESCO heritage, perfectly complemented by an authentic tasting of local delicacies.
