Bicycle paths of the Dolomites
This was a great trip for our family of four to explore a beautiful area. The hotel was very comfortable and the included food was excellent. The local tour company was very helpful, although it was a little confusing to follow their paperwork so make sure to meet with them directly before you starts to confirm routes and days for transfers. It would also be helpful to check with the bike company to see if there are any route closures or events that may interfere with your trip. We had a large bike race which closed one of our trails one day which we didn’t know about and had to ride on the road and another day had a partial path closure of unknown reason. This could hav easily been avoided if the bike company had shared this information. The bikes were great but you may have to be proactive/assertive to determine details of route changes. All in all we really enjoyed our trip.

Stunningly Beautiful
This was my third trip with Bike Tours and it did not disappoint! The setting at Hotel Laurin in Toblach, Italy was stunningly beautiful! Every ride surrounded you with mountain views. Most of the paths were paved and well marked. There were only a few moments of confusion regarding the path to take. Hotel Laurin was very accommodating and served excellent gourmet meals every night and a hearty breakfast in the morning. At the hotel, there were several saunas and a steam room as well as an outdoor pool that awaited you at the end of your ride. The only concern I had was the initial confusion around the maps and rides that were self-guided as well as how these particular e-bikes operated (the e-bikes were great once you figured out the mechanics of them). An orientation by the rental bike company, Fun Active Tours, that provided the maps and bikes, would have been most helpful; and, I was not the only guest who thought an orientation would be helpful. I also had a problem with my attempt to rent a helmet from Fun Active Tours that responded in a less than accommodating way. However, Bike Tours considered my situation and responded most helpfully. In all, it was a fabulous trip which I would highly recommend! Elaine Kubicki

One of the best!
This was our 10th bike trip with Biketours and our group of 6 had a wonderful time. Basing in a single hotel was unique and worked well with no packing/unpacking. The routes and the app from Fun Active, the local provider were great. Scenery was spectacular. Would highly recommend Hotel Lauris with its included excellent spa (great after a day of biking) and their included nightly 7 course dinners (maybe too much food??). Taylor, from Bike Tours, was very responsive and helpful, as usual.

Good ride second time around.
Redid this ride as we wanted to include a few places we missed the first time. Our day hiking around Lago de Braies was not a stage, but worth the extra day. Also rode all the way out to Santa Magdalena. A very beautiful ride. Bikes were top line. Only difficulties were with transfer days due to mis-information & drivers who were not aware of meeting points. In all some great rides.

So Great That I Came for Seconds
We did this trip a few years back and the rides, the sights and the accomodations were all so wonderful that we signed up a second time, this time with our best biking buddies.

Do this trip - you won't regret it
Loved the hotel and the area. The hotel, the food, the spa - was a highlight. The bike tour group ( manages the bikes and the routes, the shuttles ) is separate from the hotel. The hotel helps with info and also does different guided bike tours ( their bike tours looked more rugged and guided hikes. We took a day off from the planned rides and did a hike - and a bus ride - it was so worth it. Heads up - Make sure you read all the forms and plans from the Biking company. There are the 5 days of rides planned. Two days you are on your own - out and back. One day, the bike company will shuttle you to the start ( the highest point). The other days, they could pick you up at the end of the ride -or you could train in. They decide which day is which and it could change. This was not my first organized bike vacation. I loved being at one hotel, their dinner plan. We got to know the area, the buses, trains to have options. E bikes also made this much easier.

Worth the return to complete additional Dolomites adventures
It's often said that one cannot return and expect the same or better results. On our second self-guided tour, we accomplished at least three new activities we didn't have time for last year. We took the Toblach/Dobbiaco public bus to Lago de Braies and hiked around the lake (about 2 hours); we rode our bikes from Bruneck/Brunico to Sand in Taufers; and we parked our bikes near the Sol Paradiso Hotel in San Candido and hiked to the Jora Refugio for a delightful lunch and killer views. The Hotel Laurin (again our second stay) was just as lovely, the weather was cooperative (only one rainy day), but the schedule we received had incorrect dates and confusion resulted. In Lienz, we were waiting at the designated place with two other German couples, but no shuttle. After 20 minutes of waiting, one of the Germans called the office and was told the shuttle was on its way. We waited . . . no shuttle. He called again, and we were told we were in the wrong place (all six of us, really)?? We pedaled back to the taxi stand at the Lienz Train statin, where a private taxi with a bike trailer was waiting. The driver didn't even know where we were going (fortunately we were all going back to Toblach). Not sure what happened, but the transfers were either non existent, late or we were told to take the train back (we did this from Bruneck). Not a good look. Made some suggestions for future self-guided tours with transfers with the TO's office.

Excellent trip
The hotel was fantastic - the super friendly staff, the amenities, the food was amazing.
The bike centre is next door to the hotel, was so easy to pick up and return. Good quality bikes. The information (printed and in the app) was excellent. The transfers on the days that had transfers were well organised. Genuinely don’t see what could have been improved.- What was the date of your tour?

Beautiful scenery, fabulous hotel, good routes
It was a self-guided tour with residential stay at Belleview Hotel in Dobbiaco. Hotel boasts fantastic views and fine cuisine dining. Everyone was extremely helpful and welcoming. The routes were well-thought through, with a minibus taking us there or back on some days (saving the need to cycle uphill). Really enjoyed the scenery and the culture. The company app was a great help on finding the way too! The only thing that we were not absolutely happy about were the loose gravel tracks which at times were slippery and not safe for a less experienced cyclist - but the most of routes run (at least partially) on paved paths and are a joy to ride.

I had a great trip with friends. The ebikes were amazing. The Hotel Laurin's was fabulous, centrally located. All our pickups or dropoffs were good. The information about our rides was very helpful and accurate. I would highly recommend this trip!

Amazing adventure
This trip far exceeded my expectations. The bike tour staff was available and helpful prior to the trip. The hotel Lauren where we stayed was immaculate and the meals were those of a Michelin star restaurant. We hadn’t expected dinner to be included so that was a really nice surprise. The app for our phone was very useful and the routes we rode were each unique and allowed us to explore different parts of the dolomites. We rode E. bikes and were appreciative of the assist. The bikes arrived at our hotel in perfect, well maintained condition. I have recommended this trip to our friends who ride. I can’t imagine how it could have been improved.

European destination which is a mix of well defined bicycle paths and options for hiking.
Our self-guided bike trip app provided excellent scenic bicycling routes which we coupled with hiking trails, gondola rides to mountain tops, and informative tours of castles and historic sites.
