Bikes, boats, ziplines, and paragliding —all in 4 days
Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
My 19 year old granddaughter and I (60) spent four glorious days on this trail. We are not cyclists, although we are in shape and it is was perfect. We were just tired enough at the end of each day to enjoy a good meal and a good bottle of wine. We chose many side excursions along the way and found ourselves zip-lining over waterfalls, electric boating on a lake surrounded by the alps, and then paragliding tandem with an instructor over mountains and even a glacier! This was my second cycling trip and my granddaughters first. I will be adding a cycling portion to all my trips in the future. Nothing compares to exploring a country through villages and countryside. If you do this trip, or any cycling trip, always always always refer to Google maps and find the hidden gems along the way!

Beautiful Ride through Switzerland
Swiss Lakes by E-bike: Lake Geneva to Lake Lucerne
We had a fantastic trip and a great experience with BikeTours.com. We had to adjust our original trip due to a death in the family and BikeTours was wonderful to quickly re-schedule everything so that we didn’t have to cancel our trip. We also requested to leave our bikes in Interlaken for a few days so that we could spend a few days hiking in the Lauterbrunnen Valley (HIGHLY recommended) and BikeTours was very accommodating and booked the extra hotels in Murren and Grindlewald for us (hint: skip the crowded Grindlewald and stay in Wengen instead). Our hotel in Interlaken was downgraded due to the short re-scheduling notice, but we were just happy to be able to take the trip. We highly recommend this trip AND Bike Tours.com!

Switzerland on wheels
Swiss Lakes by E-bike: Lake Geneva to Lake Lucerne
A perfect way to experience Switzerland! The trail was well marked and the app worked well. All but one hotel was amazing. We had no problems with our luggage. It was in our room when we arrived.

Beautiful Route
Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
After navigating out of busy Geneva we were rewarded with beautiful open country side, thick forests, small villages, views of the Rhone River and eventually huge glacial made lakes surrounded by tall mountain ranges. Until this trip we've always been self-guided and the only ones on the route at that time. This tour had about 5 couples starting the same day although we all went our own pace. It was nice to meet people from other countries and backgrounds experiencing the same daily route. Quality of hotels varied but some towns had very limited options.

Like Riding through a postcard
Swiss Lakes by E-bike: Lake Geneva to Lake Lucerne
This was a wonderful tour! The GPS was easy to follow and much of the tour was on bike paths or rural roads. The locals were very respectful on the busier roads and we did not feel unsafe. We had an incident with one of the bikes (our fault not theirs) and they were very responsive and understanding and arranged for a replacement bike immediately. The hotels were great. We were initially disappointed to not be staying right in Gruyere but the included spa at our hotel made the extra pedaling worth it. The tour company was also very flexible with our itinerary as we only spent one night in Spiez and then added 2 nights in Interlaken (something I highly recommend doing). The scenery in Switzerland is unmatched and many days we road along the countryside listening to the cow bells in the hills. We started in the French speaking area and ended in the German. The last 2 days past many clear blue lakes but each one was a different shade of tourquoise! The last day rode us right past the starting point for Pilatus and the world's steepest cogwheel railway. Beautiful views and easy to get a ticket day of.

Wonderful three Lakes Tour
Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
We were two couples that did the self guided tour of the three lakes region near Annecy. The hotels were nice, breakfast and dinners were great. The downloaded guides on our phones worked great - every now and then the guide told us to go left instead of right but if you're seeing the map on the phone one can figure that out. Bag transfers were seamless. Such a wonderful experience of seeing the region from a bike. Much of the ride was on bike paths - the other areas were on roads with a bike lane. A few miles of ROUGH road but that was just fine. We loved the entire trip.

Amazing bike trip!
Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
Most of our 150 miles of biking was on designated bike paths and the GPS was excellent, so much better than our first experience a few years ago. Our bikes were excellent and the hotels were nice, especially in Seyssel and Albertville. However the dinner in Seyssel that was included was very disappointing. The dinner at Base Camp in Albertville was wonderful! Overall we had the absolute best experience in the beautiful countryside!

Amazing Trip
Three Lakes Tour: From Geneva to Annecy
The perfect way to experience this beautiful region of France! My uncle and I had an incredible time from start to finish. While we're not avid cyclists, we're both very active, and the route struck the perfect balance between enjoyable riding and a bit of a challenge. There were also customization options for anyone looking to make the ride more demanding.
The entire process with BikeTours was smooth, quick, and responsive, making planning effortless. The local organization on the ground, was equally outstanding, communicative, helpful, and supportive throughout the trip.
I would highly recommend this tour!

Best trip ever
Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)
Best way to see as much as possible in a day is on a bicycle. We choose the A grade hotels which was not necessary as the standard of hotels in general is very good, The A grade hotels were top class but we spent so little time at each hotel that the facilities offered could not always be full utilized. Half pension (diner included) was very good and relaxing after a day cycling. We found the 6 night tour ample time to complete the 300km round lake Constance. Tour operations went without a hitch and cycle worked perfectly. We have travelled alot and can confirm that this holiday was the best

Great bike paths and views
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
My wife and our boys ages 7 and 11 went on this tour. Most of it is on fabulous bike paths. Occasionally you have to bike through a town on roads or places with a lot of pedestrians. We had to skip a day and a half via trains and boats because it was a little much for our boys, but we still managed 150 km. I would recommend a day off in the middle.
The views are great, lots of places to stop for a swim, museum, or just a walk through a neat town. We found that it took a lot of the day just to bike and we didn't have as much time as we had liked for playing and exploring.
The distances for each day depend on what cities you're staying in.
Overall a really good experience for the whole family.

Loved it
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
We lucked out with spectacular weather for this trip. It really is beautiful. At certain points we lost track of the "actual" path we were supposed to be following but eventually we would always find our way back on. The hotels were good. One improvement would be to have all hotels with A/C, as during the summer, the temps can be pretty high and a couple of the hotels were downright hot during the night. Some hotels offered a fan, but only two had A/C. The food at all of the hotels was great for breakfast and the staff at each one were helpful and friendly.

Perfect tour
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
Everything, indeed, worked perfectly. No problems whatsoever with bike, tour information was excellent, very good hotels always close to city centers. My luggage always waiting for me at the hotel of the day. I am impressed of how well everything worked out.
Generally the bike roads were good, with some exceptions, but a few kilometers with quite bumpy gravel is acceptable.- Countries included in this tour?

Wonderful Bike Trip
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
This was our 4th trip with Bike Tours, and arguably the best. The e-bikes were great! The lake and the small towns surrounding it were gorgeous. 3 countries. One day we ate breakfast in Germany, lunch in Austria, and dinner in Switzerland. We’ll worth the money. Hotels were all beautiful and quaint in their own right. Do it! You’ll love it.

Wonderful trip!
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
This is not a terribly challenging ride, especially on e-bikes. The scenery is beautiful and all of the hotels were great. The breakfasts were enormous and plentiful, and luggage transfer was seamless. We did request to stay in Stein am Rhein instead of Gailingen, and we’re glad we did. The hotel in Arbon (Hotel Römerhof) was very nice, but if it’s possible to stay closer to the water, I’d recommend that. The e-bikes were excellent. One important note: bike pick up is open until 7pm, even though the shop is listed as closed after 5:00. They don’t answer the phone or return a message, but you can expect them to be ready for you up until 7pm. Enjoy his ride!

Feel Adventurous at Ease
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
Exploring the German, Swiss and Austrian country side and small towns and cities was such a unique experience. From the moment I arrived to my first hotel to the moment I arrived at my last it was an incredibly easy trip. You are given a map of the area and a guide book to tell you which towns you should go to and what interesting things are in each town and you are free to do as little or as much as you like.
You are also free to make your way from town to town as directly or indirectly as you like.
The bike trail is pretty easy to follow, minus the occasional area that isn’t amazingly well marked, but that has nothing to do with the tour company.
The hotels were all really nice and the breakfasts provided ranged from good to absolutely amazing.- Countries included in this tour?
