    Top quality tour with top quality guides.

    Cycling the West Balkan Triangle

    Our guide, Mario, was great. He is a kind man and knows lot about the routes and the history. Dinko drove our luggage and gave us lunch in welcomed shadows, knew so much about the land and history.

    Perfect way to enjoy Italian Alps

    Innsbruck to Lake Garda Across the Southern Slopes of the Alps

    The tour experience was great. All the stays were perfect. The mobile app was very helpful to navigate from point A to B. All instructions in the docket were easy to understand and follow. This was my 2 tour with bike tours and I found the quality of services was as good as it was on our last tour.

    Beautiful Scenery

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

    The Dolomites were amazing. The bike paths were good and traveled through some beautiful areas. The hotels were all great. The drections from the maps and app were good, we only got a little off track a couple of times. We rode regular bikes and although the hills were tough, they were doable. I definitely want to go back to the area between Toblack and Bled and explore more.

    The roads into Trieste were busy but there was a good shoulder most of the time. The views were worth the busy road. Castello Duino was cool.

    Amazing! You have to book this trip!

    Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)

    This was my first time taking a bike trip and it was magical! I would recommend this to everyone! We started our 7 day self guided bike tour in Germany (Passau) and ended in Austria (Vienna) but I can’t wait to do this trip in other countries! The self guided tour was easy to use, had great recommendations, and the hotels were amazing! What an adventure we had! As someone who doesn’t really cycle, I was worried I couldn’t do it, but since I got the hybrid bike it wasn’t too hard at all (I know that’s cheating but it was worth it), my husband got a regular bike and that worked great too! One of our cyclists on our trip needed a bike repair and it was resolved right away. Communication was great, received quick responses, friendly service and everyone was super helpful. What I loved is that we go at our own pace, got to enjoy some areas longer than others and didn’t feel rushed at all. I also loved that I didn’t need to lug my suitcase around and that it was always waiting for me at the hotel upon arrival. I was very impressed with this trip and am already planning my next one. I can’t recommend this bike tour enough seriously! Book today!

    Copenhagen and Southward

    Berlin – Copenhagen

    I would recommend this tour for anyone who wishes to discover south Zealand and the Mecklenburger lakes region by bicycle. For the most part by dedicated paved cycle paths and very good support from the Mecklenburger team. Excellent!

    First bike trip ever

    UNESCO Sites of Albania

    I did the unguided tour with a friend of mine. This tour was a fantastic way to discover the wonderful country of Albania. The Albanian people that we met were warm and welcoming, and the scenery was awesome. I did the tour with an e-bike and the level of difficulty was quite manageable. I don't think I would have been able to do this tour without the e-bike assistance, although we did meet some people who did the tour without e-bikes. The hotels we stayed in, while not first class, were quite comfortable and well located. The trip was well organized and went smoothly.
    We had a fantastic time!

    Fields of dreams!!

    Piedmont Region: The Italian Garden of Eden

    The itinerary had a few towns but most was on Beautiful paths and roads through farm lands and vineyards. Wheat, rice, poplars, grapes, poppies and roses!! So pretty! The hotels were good in terms of services but an upgrades option would be nice, as well. Food and wine amazing!!!
    The difficulty of the trip was as expected - on the hard side- but e-bikes made it much easier. It was super hot when we were there even though it was early summer!
    The ride from La Mora to Barolo was one of the best I have ever been on!

    Stunning landscapes

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

    Overall, a super great trip. The route is stunning. Navigating is super easy, just follow the number 9 signs and that’s it. I think the printed maps provided should be rethought, if anything they make life more confusing. The recommended app is better but still not perfect. I think it’d be super helpful if biketours.com provided a few highlights for each day. There is a lot to see along the way. I think the suggestions to take a train in spots because of busy traffic is unnecessary.

    Overall, I loved the ride and would recommended it to anyone. Note: we opted for electric bikes and would definitely recommend it.

    Castles and wines

    Castles and Wines of Portugal

    The company Turaventur was one of the best that we have worked with anywhere. The bicycles we rented were excellent with front suspension and a suspension seat post they were perfectly suited to the varied terrain (dirt roads, asphalt, lots of cobblestone) we covered. I also appreciated the female specific gel seat. The routes they chose were really beautiful countryside, small towns and directions were well written and easy to follow. Their support was outstanding, they were available by text, email or phone seven days a week and were always very responsive The castles we visited were just phenomenal and though it was hard to believe after one gorgeous site after another, they just kept getting better! I was only able to do one of the wine tastings and enjoyed it a lot. my suggestion is to be sure to sign up earlly as they seem to fill up ahead of time.

    Wixom Wheels

    Portugal's Atlantic Coast

    Great trip, great friends! One suggestion. The first stop on the trip was in Obidoes. The hotel only had 4 premium rooms which meant 3 couples had to stay in a lesser room in the hotel. This was not acceptable. The tour company should have offered to have the couples stay in another hotel with nice rooms or the lesser at one hotel.

    Taylor Family Tour

    Danube Family Tour 7 Nights

    Overall a great experience for a family group of 13 ranging from ages 6 to 77. Bike sizing issues were sorted quickly (overnight after arrival and before planned departure) Comments: Would suggest to others to plan an extra night in Linz -- to settle in and see the city. Hotels and meals met expectation based on previous BikeTours trips. A couple of negatives: (1) my e-bike controller didn't work --never iuld get the speed, distance, etc. And a little more oa hinged on how the power system works -- not similar to my e-bike back home. (2) Daily distances on website differ from reality (real distances are longer) (3) Hotel location info is poor - saying it is on the bike path is nice, but not helpful.when it is a couple of km past the town or, I lnnthe case of Durnstien, BEFORE the town when you have been deliveredb into town by boat. But that IS part of the adventure! (3) Plain and simple, the tire pumps.provided are crap -- not just cheap but mising vital washers. Lucky we had se real to try. OVERALL: Would recommend this to any family wanting to explore their "family dynamics" Ours turned out great!

    Best family trip ever

    Danube Family Tour 7 Nights

    There were 13 of us in total from three generations ranging form 77 years to 6 years of age. Reception at trip start was great, accommodating swapping bike sizes for one of the children and a great send off. Some difficulty finding one of the accommodations. We were in several sub-groups and each of us got lost in Krems in our own way BUT no one was stressed because of the enjoyment we had from cycling such beautiful paths.
