★★★★★ Lisa Price
Gorgeous vistas!
Cycling Spain's Ebro River
I've been on several bike tours; this was by far my favorite. The routes were well-planned with views that took you from the origin of the Ebro through the mountains through gorges, along rich valleys & fields, ending in the celebrated Rioja Valley- with charming historical towns all along the way. Detailed GPS instructions made the routes easy to follow, allowing you to go at your own pace and stop to take advantage of the many interesting sights. My first time on an e-road bike and I'm a convert- the equipment was excellent. The local team was very helpful and supportive, making sure everything ran smoothly. I hope to do this tour again!

Outstanding
Cycling Spain's Ebro River
It was a great time. Had a few hills, but all were manageable with the electric bike. The company that ran the tour was excellent.

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?

Marvellous route
Cycling Spain's Ebro River
A great tour, very scenic, great hospitality.
We were at wonderful places, we'd never found ourselves. It felt safe all the eay with few cars - only exception was the short route to Laguardia. Only twice we had to pull the bikes (not e-) uphill.
The personel was exceptional helpful and engaged. The variety in hotels, places. dinners etc. was very fine.- Countries included in this tour?

Exceeded expectations
Wine & Cuisine in Girona's Emporda Plain
Bike tours, Catalonia was an exemplary tour operator for us. The entire entire office staff welcomed us and rallied around getting our bikes ready to start out on the tour. Our tour guide and sag wagon drivers were fantastic help, and great company throughout. Girona and the whole Costa Brava tour route Was most enjoyable. The beach resort center were very highly developed, and not the sort of bucolic experience we seek , but we’re nonetheless not unpleasant. We were not overly impressed by the restaurant cuisine, in particular found the Michelin star restaurant to be more pretentious than interesting. We would skip that to Ed in a more representative local restaurant another time.

Fantastic first e-bike tour experience for retirees
Wine & Cuisine in Girona's Emporda Plain
We did a self-guided supported bike tour from Girona to Figueres. The reserved hotels were all very well located, friendly and clean with arrangements for battery charging. Our bags were picked up and delivered to our next destination before we arrived and often the hotels were able to check us in early which was nice after a hot day of riding. Biketour personnel were all so friendly, helpful and responsive whether in the store in Girona or via WhatsApp when on the road. Joan was terrific! For example, one day we ended up using both the provided bike tubes to repair flats. Unfortunately, the next day was a national holiday and there was no way to get new tubes, so we had to take the risk of riding without a spare tube. We felt secure doing so because our Joan assured us that they would provide road assistance if required. The very next day we were provided with 2 new bike tubes.
We would recommend Biketours as a dependable provider of self-guided bike tours. We had selected Biketours and would have preferred to arrange the package directly with them, however they do not include theft or damage insurance and we weren't able to buy that insurance privately through our travel or home insurance. So, we ended up using a third party,who included that insurance, and booked us with Biketours as their local provider.
While loss or damage is very rare in that part of the country, it was important to us to have insurance. We would have preferred to book direct with Biketours so that all our funds supported the local business.

Glorious holiday!
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
From the moment we stepped aboard, we knew we had chosen the right trip. The ship was comfortable and welcoming, and the cabins were surprisingly spacious and well designed. The bikes were excellent and made each day’s ride enjoyable, whether cruising through picturesque villages or beautiful countryside.
One feature we especially appreciated was the support van along the route. It was reassuring to know help was available if needed and made the trip accessible for riders of different abilities. The meals were another highlight—fresh, flavorful, and something we looked forward to after every ride. Between the outstanding crew, great accommodations, and incredible scenery, this was an unforgettable vacation that we would recommend without hesitation.

stunning ship, staff, rooms, and vibe...
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
Can’t recommend this ship and route enough! The food was outstanding every day, and the support van available along the route was a thoughtful touch that gave us extra peace of mind. We loved both the bikes and the cabins—they were comfortable, well-maintained, and made the entire experience feel effortless.
The cycling route was beautiful, with a wonderful mix of charming towns, scenic countryside, and memorable stops along the way. The crew was friendly, organized, and always willing to help, making the trip feel relaxed from start to finish. This was one of those vacations where every detail came together, and we’d happily book another bike and boat tour again.

Brand new Magnifique!
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
First, if any of you have done a boat bike tour on a Magnifique, this one is next level. (My wife and I have done several on the other Magnifique boats) The ship was only completed in April and they have outdone themselves this time. The food, the rooms, the open air bar, roof deck (lighting at night is amazing) plus if you book a suite it opens to the water. A support van meets you midday for snacks or lunch; staff was amazing, could not recommend this tour enough. Also, if you get to Bruges climb the Belfry tower (book ahead)...it's worth it. Same goes for checking out the train station in Antwerp. It is a cathedral of transportation and I've personally seen quite a few train stations in Europe.

★★★★★ Damon Di Florio
Absolutely Awesome
Paris, Bruges and Amsterdam: Premium Bike and Boat
Our first boat and bike trip and it did not disappoint! Perfect for couples or a small group of friends, this was a luxury trip, outstanding food and accommodation and wonderful guides. This boat has 16 cabins (32 passengers max), they will split the group into 2 for an easier bike touring experience. Nothing was difficult, pace was around 17 km/ph, a little slow if you are a regular cyclist, but if your partner isn't, then it's perfect.

The trip from the start to finish was more than I could have ever imagined. The barge was very luxurious, the staff, the food, the service were amazing. Our guides were always there to answer our questions, very approachable and knowledgeable. I can’t say enough about how memorable this trip was. I brag about it to all my friends back home. Thank you for making my holiday such a special one.
