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.

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!

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.

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!

Amazing trip

· Swiss Lakes by E-bike: Lake Geneva to Lake Lucerne

We were a family of 8 and we had the best time! We loved the route that was set up, we thought everyday was the highlight, then the next day would provide more. Loved being on our own schedule. The hotels picked were perfect, usually right on the water with great views. We enjoyed 2 hotels with spa/baths. It was a very hot week in Switzerland and most hotels did not have AC, which isn’t preferable, but the next week looked to be chilly and rainy, so I’ll take our perfect weather! We probably ate half of our dinners at the hotels and they were very good. The e-bikes were the best, everyone could get the amount of exercise they wanted. Batteries easily lasted all day. GPS and app were great and provided all the necessary info. They were comfortable. The luggage transport was seamless, usually arriving just after we did. The family thought it was one of the best trips we have taken and we travel a lot. We are already looking to do another. Great adventure!

bike tour expands your reach

· Welcome to Tallinn Bike Tour

Nice tour, distance was okay with frequent stops. Advantage with the bike tour: you see some sights, which you wouldn't do if you are on foot. Pleasantly surprised by some nice cycle paths in the harbour area. The route avoids busy road traffic.

Exceeded all expectations!

· Wild Atlantic Way Cycling

A bucket-list trip to Ireland was a college graduation gift for our daughter. We told her she could choose how we would spend our time. She chose a bike tour (I will be very, very honest, it was not how I would have chosen to spend the trip). We signed up for e-bikes. Despite my initial thoughts about a 7-day bike tour, that bike tour was the best part of our trip!!! Hands down, the BEST part of the trip! We had never ridden e-bikes, but the staff support and education were excellent. The transfers were smooth. The B&Bs were wonderful with wonderful hosts. The bikes and gear were well-maintained and of good quality. We used the app for navigation, which was easy to use and so helpful as our phones did not work off WiFi. The rides and suggested rides were perfectly paced to allow us freedom to explore, stop for lunch, get to our next town early, or to take a day a little more slowly. Experiencing Ireland by e-bike is really the ideal way. You move at a slow enough pace to drink in the amazing scenery, or stop and take it all in. The feel of the crisp, clean air on your face, the smell of the flowers and plants--it just intensifies the experience of exploring such a beautiful place. HIGHLY recommend! Worth every penny!

Discover the highlights of lively Ljubljana

★★★★★ (5/5) B. Anderson 3 days ago

Great way to see this town.

· Ljubljana Highlights Bike Tour

Ljublijana is super bike friendly. The cars and people are all super aware of cyclists which makes biking through this city super fun and safe. I think the city proper has over 200km of paths including the Trail of Remembrance encircling the city. (Our hotel concierge gave us a map to it.) Folks are friendly, food was yummy and cheap...very cool way to get the lay of the land of this town.
