Fabulous scenery and perfectly organised

Pedal, Explore, Eat, Repeat
Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
Riding bicycles through the countryside, towns and cities of four countries allowed us to experience and explore at our own pace and pleasure. The route was well-planned with a navigation app allowing us to avoid most of the major roads and traffic while traveling through villages, farm fields and along the Danube. Our luggage arrived at each hotel as planned; the hotels were really nice and had great breakfasts; and our lodging was always located close to scenic areas (like the Danube) or city sites. The bicycles we rented from biketours.com were in excellent condition allowing us a trouble-free ride, and came with a panniers for things we needed to keep with us. Biketours uses local partners to implement rides and we did have one blip in the itinerary where we were supposed to take a boat on the Danube from Szentendre to Budapest and the boat service had been suspended. The local operator was responsive and apologetic and helped us formulate an alternative plan. I would use biketours.com again. I would add that there are sections where you ride in city traffic or on minor roads with no bike lane. I didn't enjoy that, but it was unavoidable to get to our hotels which were located to provide us with easier access to the sites.

Very relaxing
Danube Capitals Bike & Boat Tour
This is my first time on a River bike cruise and I loved it!!! The staff on board The Isabella were outstanding , the food was great with lots of variety. Except for the afternoon coffee and cake at 4:00 pm(it’s the same cake everyday) The cruise director however was difficult to work with as I think she’s overworked, bit unorganized and very limited patience. The trip itinerary is fabulous and I’d highly recommend it.

Lovely Cycle Through the Czech & Saxon Countryside!
Prague to Dresden Along the Vltava & Elbe Rivers
This trip was a great way to experience Czechia & Saxony! We absolutely loved cycling through the countryside, enjoying the bucolic farmlands and winding along the river. There were some stretches that were through more industrial areas, which weren't the most pleasant. There were also more hilly and off-road stretches than we experienced on our Danube bike tour a few years ago. Except for a few times in more urban/busy areas, the routes were relatively car-free and felt safe. The Ride with GPS app really helped with navigation-- we loved it! It was nice to be able to glance down at our phones and know that we were on track.
Our favorite times were cycling through Czech farmlands, enjoying the diverse birds we found there, including red kites, red-backed shrike, Eurasian skylark and wagtails. We also enjoyed exploring the towns of Litomerice, Decin, and Bad Schandau. We did two hikes in the Bohemian-Saxon Switzerland National Park. The first hike was in the Czech part of the park, out of Hrensko, a tacky tourist town. Unfortunately there had been a recent wildfire, so the hike was very exposed, and once we got to the top it felt very commercialized, with gift shops and overpriced restaurants. The next day we hiked in the German side of the park, out of Rathen, which had stunning scenery and actually felt like a national park. We would recommend this hike over the first.
Overall our accommodations were very good, in quiet, clean, comfortable hotels with nice breakfast spreads. Our favorite hotels were in Prague (Hotel Clement) and Litomerice (Pension Dubina). Our bikes were excellent, suited to both on and off road cycling. It was easy to communicate with our tour guides through the WhatsApp group chat.
Overall we would recommend this bike trip to others!

Relaxing way to take in the variety and history along the Danube
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
Good daily distances on an eBike. Allowing time to stop and take in historical sites, cuisine and landscape.
Brand new and well equipped e-bikes. The live navigation map was very good.

Danube bike trail
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
Our bike trip was memorable! We enjoyed riding through all the charming towns on the trail and the beautiful scenery. We opted for the self guided tour and the only drawback was that the Pedalo app never showed how many miles we had traveled or miles remaining until the next destination.

Trip to remember!
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
Four of us did the self guided tour around Lake Constance. The scenery and the towns were so cute! Three nights of the hotel stays were great, but unfortunately two of them were well below standard. When doing this trip make sure you say that you don't want to stay in Vis-à-vis in Lindau (right opposite the train station) and in Hotel Frohsinn in Arbon (currently busy with construction) and the noise started at 7:15am :( Will I recommend doing this bike ride: Yes!!! The bikes were in great condition and you will have the opportunity to eat a lot of wonderful gelato! Oh, all the hotels gave breakfast and it was great!!

Alsace region June 26
Freiburg and the Alsatian Wine Road
We loved this trip, despite temperatures of 38 degrees rather than the 28 degrees which would have been the norm. It was well organised, our bags were always ready and waiting for us and everyone was very helpful. Two of us had removable batteries on our E-bikes and had no trouble in recharging; the other two were not able to remove theirs and found it a bit tricky in a couple of our hotels. However, it was easily sorted. Accommodation was all good, just a couple of nights out of seven that did not have air conditioning, but generally excellent. One even had a (very welcome) pool!

Berlin-Copenhagen early June 2026
Berlin – Copenhagen
We had a great trip! We were on the self-guided route. We met other international cyclists riding the same timeframe and it was nice to chat with them in the AM at breakfast. The weather was cooler and predicted to rain but it was cool overcast. The hotels were great and the luggage arrived early afternoon which made it nice for relaxing and getting ready for dinner! We did have some strong wind and most of the women we met on the trip had electric bikes. I didnt and made it work, but for longer distances and seeing all the sights it would be recommended! Downloading the app made it easy to follow the route and bike paths the entire way into Copenhagen made it safe for cycling.

Lake Constance Family Trip
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
Well organized, with smooth daily transitions. I would add another day to shorten the daily ride to 40km as it will free up time for strolling around. Breakfasts were outstanding. Vis a Vis in Lindau not of the same standard with very depressing rooms. Frohsinn in Arbon a building site and we should have been given a choice and not just booked into the hotel.
Overall a trip I will recommend as the standard was high and the communication and support throughout excellent.- What was the date of your tour?

Accomodations, mapping, everthing was well done.
Berlin – Copenhagen
This was the best way to the country side, small towns, sea shores, and larger cities of Germany and Denmark. Rooms were lovely, clean and inviting.

Everything we expected and more
Cycling the Altmühl Valley - Round trip from Regensburg
We wanted to see the Germany that Germans live, work and study in that foreign tourists don’t normally see and this tour did exactly that. We saw beautiful old towns, churches and castles and farms along the Danube and Donau rivers. The routes were pretty well marked, and the distances everyday were not too long and not too short. The electric bikes were in perfect working order and the luggage transfer went very smoothly. We had plenty of time each day to sightsee.

What a trip!
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
We had a wonderful time cycling from Passau to Vienna. Our Biketours consultant, Mariam, helped us prepare for the trip, and everything went smoothly, from the hotel check-ins to navigating the route with the Pedalò app. We loved the scenery, the route was easy to navigate using the Pedalò app, and we loved seeing Austria from our bicycles.

A fantastic and beautiful ride
Danube Bike Path 8 Nights (Upscale Lodging)
We were extremely happy with our ride experience. The bikes and difficulty rating s (easy) were perfect for our level of riding and we were well cared for for the entire ride. Our ONLY complaint was with poor quality of one of the hotels we stayed in (Schlogen). Everything else was magical.

Lovely trip
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
This was a lovely way to see various small cities along the beautiful scenery of the Danube River. The hotels were all so unique and had such character of their own. The e-bikes were perfect.

First experience riding bikes in Europe was really cool!
Lake Constance Classic (11-nights)
We rode without a guide aided by Google maps. The map files you provided didn't work for me! Google maps did an adequate job and I always felt comfortable relying on it! We truly enjoyed the ride, the hotel stays, and the map book was a great reference to have available!
