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!

A wonderful introduction to the Dolomites region
Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps
Before this trip, I didn’t realize you could cross national borders of Italy, Austria, Slovenia with no hassle by bike. It was pretty awesome to be in and out of 3 countries in one day of this tour. To whoever rated the scenery of this trip as 3 out of 5, they need to get their goggles checked because it was stunning when we went mid September. The weather was a bit chilly and foggy in the morning when we started our trip in the mountains, but by the time we ended up closer to Trieste, it was closer to summery.
If you fly into VCE, make sure you arrive before 2pm to be able to make the one Cortina express bus that will go to Dobbiaco each day! I made the mistake of a cheaper flight that arrived later at 7pm and got stuck paying extra money to stay in Venice overnight and paid for the extra night in Dobbiaco for nothing and couldn’t get a refund because it was a double occupancy and my roommate would be using the room.
My only complaint was with the “upgraded” gravel bike and pannier provided by the local tour company Fun Active Tours. I was not present upon pickup day to contest this with the company, so my group member got my bike on my behalf. The seatpost literally had to be cut to accommodate my 5’2” stature, so it was lucky that her bike seatpost was also too tall for her and she caught the issue on my bike by proxy.
Once I was present to see my “upgraded” gravel bike, there were a couple issues off the bat:
1. the two bottle cages were setup in the wrong bolt holes so that if you had a bottle in one cage, it would negate the other cage. Total rookie bike shop mistake that should have been spotted right away.
2. the rear rack pannier bag clips were setup in a very specific position that was not correct for the rack on my bike. Another bike shop mistake that should have been corrected for pickup.
3. The air pressure on the bike was way below the recommended amount listed on the sidewall of the tires 50 PSI and was discovered after a cursory hand squeeze - this is literally bike ABC’s and also should have been topped off for pickup. Thank god Fun Active had a place in Dobbiaco to go for air because after that there was no bike pump at any of the hotels to check on the air pressure until day 6 in Gradisca d’Isonzo / Hotel Franz which was a legit bike hotel with a repair tool stand and tool setup.
4. There was a klick fix front bag mounted to the handle bars that completely crimped the front cabling underneath

Gorgeous scenery
Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps
My friends and I had a great time on this tour. The scenery was wonderful and the route was interesting. We especially enjoyed our time in Slovenia. The weather in mid-September was very good. Overall the tour logistics went smoothly, with just a few small issues (one area where navigation was confusing, one delayed bus/train transfer, and one delayed luggage transfer). The hotels were generally good, with very good breakfasts. We arrived a day early to hike Tre Cime di Lavaredo, which I would recommend. We also hiked the Vintgar Gorge near Bled. The "long route" via Udine was worth the extra miles. On the last day we took the coastal route, which did have some traffic but I found that it was worth it for the views and the stop at Miramare Castle.

Amazing Trip!
Best of Slovenia: Highlights Across the Country From Bled to Piran
We just returned from this adventure (September 5-16, 2026) and can’t speak highly enough of the people and sights of Slovenia we experienced! We did the self-guided version of the trip and here are our thoughts and recommendations:
CONS - The only slightly negative comment we have is that the hybrid Trek bikes we selected were too heavy and not geared well for some of the hills we encountered. We are experienced cyclists from Colorado and used to steep terrain but not on bikes with kick stands and fenders! We would recommend either e-bikes or requesting upgrades to true road/bikes to more thoroughly enjoy this beautiful country.
PROS:
The local bike tour operator did and outstanding job with all aspects of our trip. The GUIBO app that they use was excellent with only a couple of instances where the audio direction didn’t match the mapped route on the screen. Lots of route info including sights as well as elevation profiles.The hotels were consistently great and varied from a small family run hotel with 5 rooms to a large chain hotel (M Hotel in Ljubljana). The breakfasts all had many options including some vegan choices for my partner. As mentioned in other reviews, the M Hotel is a mile or so from the historic city center but is a nice walk in good weather and an easy bus ride in rainy weather like we had that day.
The food was outstanding and we never lacked for local cuisine favorites including pastas, pizzas and wine!
The route that TO selected highlighted amazing sights of Slovenia including Lakes Bled and Bohinj, Pradjema castle, Postojna and Skojanska caves and the beautiful city of Piran on the coast.
The best part of our trip were the generous, warm people of Slovenia. In every town or city, we encountered people who offered a genuine, welcoming spirit and an obvious love for their country. We will definitely return to this wonderful country!

Fabulous trip full of variety!
Dolomites to Trieste via Lake Bled at the Foot of the Julian Alps
We chose this trip partially due to the high star rating (and quantity) of the reviews, and I'm happy to report it lived up to the hype.
We began in the picturesque, mountainous town of Dobbiaco in the Dolomites and booked an extra night at the beginning of the trip in order to take a bus to do the Tre Cime Hike before starting the bike tour. Once the biking began, we rode our way through beautiful valleys (2 almost entirely flat days in Austria!) with stunning views all around. Getting into Slovenia was hillier, but rewarding. us with some of the most beautiful water in Slovenia. We did the 1-night Bled stay, and maximized our activities by booking a 3:20pm entry into the Vintgar Gorge, which was easy to get to directly from our bike route. After we left Slovenia, we were in Italy for the remainder of the trip and enjoyed more great variety of scenery (farmlands) with moderate elevation gain and took the coastal route into Trieste, enjoying the views of the Adriatic as we concluded the trip.
Main positive notes:
1) Overall, the FunActive App worked very well for navigation and the FunActive support phone number came in very handy when 2 people in my group got flat tires. I called and they immediately sent Google Map pins to the closest bike shops on our route, and offered reimbursement up to 35 euros for the repairs.
2) The hotels varied in quality and character, but were all very comfortable/hospitable with kind staff and provided excellent breakfasts.
3) Most people in my group requested (in advance) to rent gravel bikes and we found it to be well worth the extra charge, as the route does have some gravel sections. The bikes handled very well on the road and off. This tour is well-suited for intermediate cyclists to do on non-e-bikes, and seemed great for less-experienced cyclists to do on e-bikes.
4) The scenery was rarely less than stunning, even when the weather was cloudy!
A few cautionary points:
1) The amount of information (documents, info in the app, personal itinerary) sent to us prior to the tour was a little overwhelming and had some conflicting information (e.g. # of bags allowed per person for the daily luggage transfer, day/time for transfer points). Be sure to read everything carefully and ask questions to your BikeTours.com representative to clarify any discrepancies.
2) The FunActive staff was satisfactory when we picked up the bikes to help us get set up, but they did not go above and beyond with additional requests (e.g. to install SPD pedals that we brought; swap out saddles more comfortable ones).
3) This was my first time doing a tour which included transfers over mountain passes (Oberdrauberg Pass on Day 1, and from Bled to Most na Soci on Day 4). These were much appreciated to save energy and prevent some potentially dangerous riding, but it did require extra attention to our timing and schedule to make sure we were not late for the shuttles.

Wonderful way to see Albania
UNESCO Sites of Albania
My husband and I did the self-guided tour 9-day tour and really enjoyed our trip. The scenery is beautiful and the people were super friendly. The accomodations were varied, but great all around and interesting. The food and wine was spectactular (though only breakfasts were included)! The first few days were great biking and pretty empty roads. the last 4 days were on busier roads and some of the climbs were pretty epic. Drivers are pretty respectful of cyclists, and are used to roads slowing down for cows, sheep and bikers. Definitely not for the faint of heart, though you have all day to do the cycling and water and food (especially cherries in May) are readily available. If you are worried about the climbing, an electric bike would be recommended. Also, nine days is a lot of cycling, but definitely worth the effort!

Tour of a lifetime!
Medieval Villages of Catalonia
We came from Canada and were utterly enchanted by the beauty and wonder we found on our 7-day Medieval Villages Tour hosted by Daniel at Creative Catalonia. This tour exceeded our very high expectations.
We loved the ease of connections between the outstanding hotels - each one packed with views, comfort, luxury and amazing breakfasts. The digital maps and tracking were brilliant support, and Daniel helped us immediately if we had any issues. We did have a flat tire, but we had all we needed to fix it and get back on the road quickly. And Daniel replaced our inner tube that day. We could focus entirely on the adventures offered every day of the tour.
And the adventures! From discovering the great food and beauty of the Costa Brava, to the history, charm and calm of the villages we cycled through, we felt fully immersed in each experience. We stopped often and took in many sights and opportunities - the Dali Castle, the beaches, and the village of Pals were highlights, but every day the cycling and the sights were fabulous.
We opted for electric bikes, and in our 60’s that was a wonderful choice. We also opted for the 7th day mountain climb - and we are so glad we did, we will never forget the views, and the bragging rights will last a life time. The electric bikes made all the difference, we wouldn’t have been able to make the trek without them. And the 12 km mountain decent was worth every penny - what a payoff, absolutely the most fun I’ve ever had on a bike!

Wild Atlantic Way Cycling
It was a wonderful experience for our group. We got to experience the different landscapes and variety of terrain along the western coast. Without exception, the nightly hosts were attentive to any needs and delivered clean, comfortable quarters and fantastic food. The app was extremely useful well laid out once you got the hang of it. I'd definitely recommend this trip and this company for other trips.

An interesting tour of Tallinn
Welcome to Tallinn Bike Tour
The weather was a little overcast and windy and the bike was quite heavy to ride, but Roland gave us a very insightful history of Tallinn showing us the good the bad and the ugle. If you prefer e-bikes, they have them but I did not know about it, ask! Well worth the money.

Beautiful scenery
Innsbruck to Salzburg: Through the Alps Along River Cycle Trails
Great way to see beautiful Austrian scenery and small villages as well. Weather was great and our local contact, Helmut was fantastic. I messed up on the deadline to pick up our bikes and he coordinated with the bike shop to adapt to my mistake and meet us after hours! Much appreciated! Also, my wife had some back problems and he coordinated transfer for her on 2 days and a train related short cut for the biking on another day so she could take part as she improved. He was immediately accessible, kind, and sooo helpful.Also the employee at crazy bikes who stayed after hours to get us our bikes in Innsbruck. Thanks for all the extra effort! The hotels were all very nice with great breakfasts and staff. We did not do the extra stay day in Zell am See but would recommend it. Biking days were well balanced with some shorter and a couple longer days. One of the best tours of the many I have done with bike tours!

Ricky was an excellent guide keeping us safe and ensuring we got the most out of our tour. We appreciated all the stops to learn the history and Ricky was very knowledgeable. He was also really personable which made the tour more fun and we loved having his canine companion Lucy along for the ride!
