Amazing Adventure
Salzburg Lakes Tour: Around the Lakes within the Foothills of the Alps
This trip was amazing. Hotels were great and breakfast very satisfying. Austria is beautiful, clean and the people friendly. We didn't want it to end.

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!

Danubio
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
Tudo muito bom. Hotéis bons. A reunião de apresentação foi mal planejada. As 20h a portaria do hotel já estava fechada e o representante da bicicleta ficou do lado de fora.

Fantastic ride
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
This was our second self guided tour with Bike Tours, and once again they provided a well organised tour, hotels were very good value, and our luggage always arrived on time. The bikes were in very good condition, but slightly on the heavy side, the route was easy to navigate and depending how adventuress you are it can be adjusted to see some of the inland towns, and farming area, we added an extra day in Krems to our itinerary to enjoy the Wachau valley.

Great Experience!
Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
Really well organized from booking to arrival. The bikes were great and easily made the journey from Passau to Vienna a comfortable one. All of the lodging and towns exceeded expectations. We wouldn't have changed anything. In fact we are already looking into booking another tour for next year.

Exceeded Expectations
Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
The route planned and information provided allowed us to completely immerse ourselves in the Austrian culture.
All accommodations were wonderful with comfortable, well appointed suites and quality food services.
We will repeat this trip again as we enjoyed it so much.
Recommend adding days on the end to enjoy Vienna.

60th Birthday Celebration
Rhine Bike Path: Mainz to Cologne
My wife took me on this beautiful Rhine bike ride for my 60th birthday. What a great way to experience Germany first hand! All of the bed-and-breakfast-style hotels were wonderful, clean and well-apportioned. Breakfast in the morning always had a great selection of foods, leaving us well-energized each day to hit the trail. We rode at our own pace every day, stopping on a whim to look at this, that, and the other thing. We toured castles, Roman ruins, shopped (the panniers were large enough to accommodate most items we bought), ate snacks and lunch, and took advantage of any and all photo ops. At the end of each afternoon we had time to do a walking tour of each town we stayed in, eat a stellar dinner and then have a hot shower and a good night's rest. The weather and temperature were very cooperative, just perfect. We absolutely cannot wait to do this again next spring. We are already planning another BikeTour.com trip to another destination. Best vacay ever!

One of the most beautiful rides I have taken in Europe
Salzburg to Vienna, Lakes Option
I am so glad I elected to ride from Salzburg to Vienna rather than Passau. The ride was beautiful, mountains coming down to the bike trails and Alpine lakes to ride along. It was not difficult for the average rider and a ranking of easy 2 is fair. From Linz to Vienna was also very nice and it gave us enough river riding to make the trip a good combination of mountains and riverside.

Enjoyable ride through Slovenia
Emerald Tour of Slovenia’s Gems
Very much enjoyed our bike ride. Flawless support and organization by the local partner as well as the GPS map enabled us to enjoy the ride without the hassles. Beautiful countryside and very friendly people and excellent accommodations. Only slight improvement would be a bridge detour and new road out of Muggia that were not on our GPS that would have been helpful.

Very enjoyable bike ride around Lake Constance
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
This was our first bike trip, but won't be our last - what a great experience! We loved exploring the towns the towns around Lake Constance via our ebikes! (This was our first time on ebikes and I'd highly recommend those as well)
The hotels were all excellent - we couldn't have chosen better for ourselves. Our luggage was always waiting for us upon arrival each day. The information on what to see was very helpful.
We made a couple changes to our itinerary which were handled effortlessly by BikeTours. We appreciated all the assistance in initially planning our trip and thank everyone who helped me put this together. We had a great trip.

Great Trip
Cycling Spain's Ebro River
Absolutely beautiful route with good places to stay. Significant climbs every day made the E Assist bikes a necessity for our group. (We had 6 people about 60 years old and in quite good shape). It was unseasonably hot for our week and a number of the smaller hotels in the mountains did not have AC. I'm not sure how often that would be an issue but sleeping was tough for a few nights. The local crew was friendly, timely and helpful. I would recommend the trip.

Water, windmills and tall skinny houses
Amsterdam to Bruges: Cycling through South Holland and Zeeland
Loved everything about this trip. The route took us through beautiful areas, all avoiding cars and large roads. Accommodations were excellent and the choice of towns and small cities for overnight stays were charming and worth our while. Distinctive too. Bikes were incredible! All in all, an excellent bike trip.

Biking in the Shoulder Season
Salzburg to Vienna, Lakes Option
Cold weather and rain did not prevent us from having a wonderful biking experience. The scenery was beautiful, hotels were in lovely locations, the people were friendly, and the tourist sites were virtually empty.

Beautiful scenery and fabulous destinations!
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
Great time exploring southern Germany around Lake Constance. The bike path was well signed for easy navigation. Our group stopped often for photos as we passed through lovely villages and beautiful scenic lake views. We had the opportunity to go up on a gondola for a view of the Austrian mountains, visited the Thermal Spa in Uberlingen and saw sculptures the public gardens at the Wurth Building. All in all a lovely trip!

Stunning scenery!
Tauern Bike Path (Krimml-Passau)
This trip was so beautiful! Our start in Krimml was so scenic with a portion of the waterfall visible from our hotel window! Zell am See was gorgeous. Our cycling days were filled with constant wonder and beauty. The bike paths were easy to cycle on. My one suggestion is to review the directions before you get to the outskirts of your destination as it can sometimes be confusing. The hotels were comfortable and the food was good. I would definitely recommend this trip!
