    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.

    (5/5) Michael OO 2 weeks ago

    Lovely landscapes, great organization

    · Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers

    Great bike tour!
    Overall: most of the ride (80%-90%) was on dedicated bike lanes, following the Voltava/Elbe rivers. Mainly flat, well signaled - generally an easy ride.

    Itinerary: I especially enjoyed the route around Prague at the beginning (good lanes, lots of bars/cafes on the side) and, more importantly, the last 2 days, from Decin to Dresden as the path goes through more mountainous areas but stays flat and easy as it follows the river. Great views with cute hills, chalets and the cliffs of the Swiss Saxony park.
    I also appreciated that the hotel in day 4 was in Bad Schandau (instead of Pirna like other similar tours) as it allowed me to do hikes in Day 4 (between Decin and Bad Schandau) AND in Day 5 (between Bad Schandau and Dresden). Spending the night in Pirna (lovely city, by the way) means that by end of Day 4, you are out of the national park and therefore all the hikes, and believe me there are many opportunities, would have to be concentrated in Day 4. So, happy that the tour stopped in Bad Schandau instead
    Day 2 (Melnik-Litomerice) was maybe the least interesting. Both cities are really cute, but in between, it is mainly fields and light forest landscapes.
    I was able to get by in English everywhere. Got a bit more difficult in the middle of the tour, deep in Czechia (Litomerice for instance) but communication is always possible, especially with the help of translating apps.

    Organization: perfect. The bike was high quality. All the equipment was provided: lock, carrier bags (waterproof), bike helmet, full file with maps and all the places to go to / eat in along the way, useful navigation app, etc. Basically, I didn't have to use any of my equipment except cycling glasses

    Accommodation: choice of cities to sleep along the way is optimal. All of them cute, with enough historical buildings to visit. Cadencing also good with 50-55 kms each day, except for day 4 (25 kms) which is when you want to do most of the hiking anyway, so it is good that it is the shortest cycling day. Bad Schandau is not super interesting to be honest (certainly less than Pirna) but as mentioned above, it is still optimal to stop there to enjy the park. Hotels were great, in very diverse styles, with maybe the one in Decin less nice but the town is really busy with lots of tourists and not too many hotels. Breakfast provided in all of them, with good quality and quantity (with again the one in Decin slightly below).

    All in all, very happy with the trip and its organization and would definitely do it again!

    We all enjoyed everything about our trip!!!

    · · Provence by Bike and Boat

    We absolutely enjoyed our stay on the Caprice. Georgio was our guide and I don't think we could have enjoyed anyone better. He is very knowledgeable and witty! We would love to ride another tour with him in the future. We were a group of 5 and we all had the best experience. The Caprice staff treated us very well. The ship was always clean and comfy. The post ride snacks were perfect after riding in 97-degree weather every day. All the food was more than we expected, and we were thrilled with the vegetarian options for those of us that are veggie preferred people!
    Still going thru all the photos and reliving the trip. We made great memories and hope to meet up with Georgio again in the near future. Thank you all for this very memorable trip.

    (5/5) Tom A. 1 month ago

    Mountain valleys, forests, meadows, pastures, and rivers

    · Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails

    I believe this has been our 4th trip with BikeTours.com, and this might be the best one yet. If you’re looking for a pleasant ride through a lush green countryside, and generally cool weather (and can tolerate a rainstorm or two), Austria is an ideal place for biking, and this particular tour is one of the very best. This trip was actually a little easier on the legs (we only use “real” bikes!) than the other Level 2 trips we’ve taken, and the overall vibe and scenery were just what we were looking for. While we enjoy the bigger cities of Innsbruck and Salzburg, what we love best are the trails through the countryside, with a nice village every 10 miles or so for a break and a bit of Apfelstrudel. Austrians are so friendly to tourists that it’s simply a delight to be here. The cool weather and lush green vegetation everywhere are a big plus, particularly if you come from a drier climate like we do. We navigated with the provided .gpx file using Google maps. Best navigation experience by far!

    A Beautiful 5-Day Ride from Prague to Dresden

    · Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers

    This was our 7th cycle trip with Biketours and one of the most scenic, especially considering the ease of the terrain. We traveled with our 2 daughters, ages 12 and 8, who did well on this route, which is mostly on dedicated and paved cycle ways. I would recommend this trip for anyone looking for routes that are suitable for families with children or for folks who simply want to avoid biking on motorways. The lodging was good to excellent by European standards (even for 4 people), and the boarding (breakfasts) were consistently excellent. The local tour company is one of the best I have seen in terms of their speed of communication and proficiency with technology, as they responded in moments via mobile apps when we had questions and provided detailed GPS navigation instructions. The bikes and gear were all in good condition with no mechanical issues. Bottom line, I would strongly recommend this tour, especially for families.

    Beautiful scenery

    · Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps

    Whoever plotted this route did a wonderful job--and had legs of steel. We rode on superbly maintained bike paths and little-traveled farm roads through alpine meadows, lush forests and charming towns. But there were also some of the longest, steepest hills I have ever ridden. Think ebike in first gear and Turbo mode for 10 minutes straight. The navigation app was pretty good but bring an extra battery pack! It eats a lot of juice.
    The hotels were a mix of the sublime and the Motel 6 variety but all were acceptable.

    Beautiful Scenery, 249 Miles Total

    · Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps

    Cividale del Friiuli, Bled, Udine, Trieste, beautiful cities. Special moments, the manager at the Aguntum Museum (near Lienz) gave an unforgettable welcome to our soggy group (it poured buckets the first day out) and Hannes Grimmer Holzdesign (near Reisach) - amazing wood carvings. Nice hotels overall. Only issues were an A/C outage at the Bled hotel, and "the outbuilding" at the Cividale del Friuli hotel - tiny rooms that were nicely appointed but it was a walk from the main hotel that posed a challenge for older bikers in our group with walking issues. Tour operator customer service was excellent - second tour with them, would definitely use them again. Ebikes were new with strong motors and the techs on site took care of changing the displays to English/miles for us. Recommend completing this tour by mid-June due to summer temps in Italy.

    Nice Biking, Some Hotels Could Be Better

    · Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps

    Loved the rides and scenery. Ebikes performed adequately but had noticeably less power than new bikes we'd used the week before on another tour (Dolomites to Trieste). After a long day of riding, ending at a nice hotel is a must. The Mondsee and Salzburg hotels were great. Others not so much. Paying extra for the single supplement and ending up in a tiny room with a twin bed was disappointing. One was on the the 3rd (US 4th) floor, there were three daddy longlegs around the window, and the elevator was broken. Guests should have been assigned rooms on a lower floor or sent to a hotel 7 km away in St. Gilgen. Be aware that most hotel staffs go home between 10-11 pm so no front desk presence overnight.

    Albania Adventure

    · UNESCO Sites of Albania

    I'll start off by saying that overall I had a great trip. However, there were several things that were a disappointment. Starting with the good-the route, the scenery, and the group of people I was with were wonderful. The bad-the guide and the total number of people on the trip. The guide gave virtually no instructions when we first got our bikes. He spent a fair amount of time in the van rather than biking. He spent more time with his "assistant" (who was clearly his girlfriend) than he spent with guests. Except for in one city, he offered virtually no insight into the Albanian culture of the areas we visited. As for the number of people, there were 20 of us on the guided tour and there were another 8 people on the self-guided tour. The self-guided people stayed in the same hotels as us and that caused, on several occasions for the group of 20 to be split up into different hotels. One night in particular, our group was not only split up into two hotels, but I stayed in a separate house (hardly a hotel-more like a hostel) by myself. It was a very uncomfortable night. Had there been fewer than 28 people in total (guided plus self guided) on the trip, this would not have likely happened. Notwithstanding the above, I had a very good time but I chalk it up to the 19 other travelers in my guided group and the beautiful countryside we saw. One last thing-if you are not a seasoned cyclist-use an e-bike on this trip. Some of the hills are killers.

    The paper guides were difficult to read - we used a Garmin which made it much easier otherwise you were constantly stopping to check turnings- suggest you don’t use survey maps but custom bike maps. Hotel selection was ok but some rooms were noisy and windows facing busy roads. Worst hotels were Innsbruck and Salzburg which spoiled the trip experience.Trish

    Our Best Bike Trip Ever!

    · Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps

    We had to stop saying how beautiful this route was! Quiet roads and bike paths, incredible scenery, nice hotels and amazing breakfasts! We chose the upgraded bikes which were very comfortable, not e-bikes, and only walked one hill. The rolling terrain added welcome variety to our ride. We were especially surprised leaving and re-entering Salzburg totally on safe bike paths. The app was very easy to follow and we are looking forward to our next self guided tour with bike tours.com. We have done several tours with guided companies and are really enjoying the freedom of self guided biking. Being able to begin riding when you would like and to stop at sites that peak your interest made all the difference.
