★★★★★ Chuck A. 2 days agoNice ride
· Cycling Spain's Ebro River
We enjoyed our trip to Spain and were glad that we opted for e-bikes as our 70 year old legs would have had a hard time with the hills during the first few biking days. The bike staff were great and very attentive to our needs, they even went out of their way to return a lost iPad. We especially enjoyed Haro and LaGuardia. Both cities were what we were hoping to find in Spain.

First and best e-bike tour!!
· Medieval Villages of Catalonia
Fabulous way to take in the sights, sounds and smells of this beautiful area at our own pace on the self-guided tour. The information we were provided with prior to setting out - plus the GPS navigation tool - made us feel very comfortable and in control of our time each day. Daniel, our host, provided outstanding service - starting with an excellent briefing in Girona at the beginning of the tour - and everything he promised was delivered on or exceeded. The distances each day on the e-bikes were very achievable for anyone with a moderate level of fitness. The luggage transfers were seamless. The accommodation was excellent each night! Not five star - but beautiful locations and very comfortable. Overall, I highly recommend the tour.

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.- Countries included in this tour?

Wonderful trip!
· Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring
Catalonia was fabulous! We were met by Daniel to review routes and safety tips before heading out on our 8 day biking tour. Daniel was very helpful and even pointed out on the GPS restaurants, coffee spots and picture spots. Hotels were wonderful and very accommodating. The bike routes were beautiful from agriculture to medieval villages to the Mediterranean Sea. We had a wonderful time and will definitely do a bike tour again

· Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway
We are two women and we chose this self-guided tour on e-bikes as it was in the location that worked for our traveling schedules and we liked that it would take us from the mountains to the sea. E-bikes for us were the way to go as it gave it ease when we wanted it and challenge if we wished to work a little harder. Almost all the biking is through scenic areas with low to no traffic (along the greenways) and from higher elevations with beautiful green forests and valleys, to the lower lands with olives, truffles and oranges. We really enjoyed the variety of scenery even within a single ride, and loved stopping along the way in villages or at little restaurants to sit and enjoy. All the accommodations were better than expected so we were pleasantly surprised by this along with delicious buffet breakfasts at every location. The only part of the trip that was less enjoyable was getting into Canet you have to ride through some pretty industrial parts (though on a well marked bike path) but on the main road which was different; and again riding through the streets (again an incredible network of bike paths!) in Valencia. In Rubielos de Mora the hotel was especially awesome and they had an excellent Spa that we took full advantage of (for an extra fee). Albarracin is an amazing old city that we also thoroughly enjoyed. The local company was excellent as well with logistics and routes. All in all it was a super fun adventure and I can highly recommend it!
TIPS:
Download the Ride with GPS App and learn how to use it before your trip so you can receive and use the gpx files that give you the routes. Make sure to download the routes each day for OFFLINE use.
Bring biking gloves
Once you have the routes is super easy to find your way.
They give you a paneer and a bike kit but only one bike was fitted with the phone holder ~ maybe request one for each bike so you all have access to the route and easy access to a camera. We took a lot of photos but it was hard to access the second camera as the paneers have no outside pocket.
We needed a lot of sunscreen and layered clothing.
In Canet call ahead of time and ask for a room with a sea view.
If you are sensitive to traffic noise ~ in Valencia ask for a room high up and away from the main street or better yet maybe they can book you an accommodation in the Old City: Same for Teruel. The other towns are small and quieter.
You are responsible for your bikes during the trip so make sure they are always in a safe location.Take your time and enjoy!

· Gravel Biking from Alentejo to the Algarve
The local tour company was amazing! Checked in with us every day since we self guided. Bikes were great as were the hotels. We would highly recommend this tour for mountain bikers who who want less challenge or road bikers who want more.

· San Sebastian City Bike Tour
The bike tour was the perfect way to see the City of San Sebastián. Our tour guide was excellent and very knowledgable about the city. The bike path system is so extensive that we never had to use the same right of way as the cars. We were very happy that we chose this tour.

· Catalonia Road Bike Tour: Girona to the Sea
This was our second trip with www.biketours.com. We were excited because the host company uses the same road bikes that we own. Daniel, working for a local operator, was great. He not only met us to give us our bikes, but he changed the pedals (we brought our own) and he watched you ride to make sure it fit. He was super communicative throughout the trip. Girona was great. It's busy but the motorists are actually courteous to cyclists--which was a treat compared to many places in the states. The first hotel is in a great location--however it can be noisy since it's a busy city. Watch out for glass walls & doors--they are everywhere down there. We highly recommend Eat Sleep Cycle as a place to grab food and or drinks after. We watched the tour there after. Many cyclists come there after their rides. Our favorite was the second stop--Costa Brava. It was gorgeous and such a relaxing hotel!! Definitely recommend doing the walk to the left of the hotel. The views are great. The ride along Costa Brava was a challenging one but the views made the work worth it. Monells was way more quiet with only a few restaurants. The hotel was fantastic. Excellent customer service and restaurant. Very relaxing. The ride was okay--not as exciting as the other days. We modified the second day here not to overlap Pals. We ate lunch both days in Corca--just 2.5 miles up from Monells at Raku. Great food. Takes awhile but it's outside with a canopy of trees. You get a three course meal with a glass of wine or coffee for 21 euro. We always did it after our ride so we could just relax after. Highly recommend. We did the climb back to Girona. NOT easy but beautiful, and rewarding--a great way to end the trip. We took the fast train back to Barcelona Sants. We had a day and a half before our flight and rather than tackle busy and loud Barcelona, we stayed in Castelldefels--it's along the sea and only 10 miles from the airport. A beach view hotel room cost the same as downtown Barcelona and it was super relaxing with lots of restaurants and a very long beach walk. We stayed at Hotel dONNA. I recommend it.
A couple of travel tips:
We landed in terminal 1. The train station is in terminal 2. You have to take an airport shuttle and then figure out the trains to take a regional one to Barcelona Sants and then jump on the fast train to Girona. I would recommend just taking a taxi from the airport to Barcelona Sants. The train stations in Barcelona are a bit nuts. If you can, I also recommend buying your train ticket ahead of time--the train station at Barcelona Sants was insane and not easy to navigate. It all ended up okay, but it was the most stressful part of our journey especially after being up all night.
There's not an abundance of water everywhere. I recommend buying big bottles to fill up your water bottles and also carry one around because even most restaurants make you pay for water.
My husband is a photographer and took a billion photos. Once he has them all processed, I hope I can come back on and add them! SHOW MORE- What was the date of your tour?

· Greenways of Girona Family Tour 5 Nights
This was a perfect trip for our family--2 adults and a 10 year old. Distances and terrain was manageable, lots to see and do, and very nice accommodations (especially the ones with pools as it was very hot!). We especially loved the beach day in St. Feliu.
Two suggestions: One of the hotels did not start breakfast until 9am (Can de Garay). With the temperatures near 40C that day, we really would have liked to start earlier that day to ride more when it was less hot. Perhaps another hotel would be better in summer. Also, some additional details of how to get from the train station in Girona to the hotel in Olot would have been helpful.

Such a great trip!
· Medieval Villages of Catalonia
We were hesitant to take a non-guided tour at first, but it turned out to be the best decision we could have made. The roots were interesting and the directions were great, and we got to take all of the roots on our own time and our own schedule. The hotels were wonderful, and the routes through the different seaside towns and medieval villages were fantastic! Daniel was communicative, responsive, and really helpful. Could not have been a happier with our trip!

· Camino de Santiago: From Porto to Santiago de Compostela
The local Portugal tour company was excellent. The tour guide, Daniel, was wonderful. Our rented bikes, Ebike and mountain, were good and appropriate for the varied surfaces on the trip. Restaurant choices, meals and hotels were very good. It was a great trip.
