★★★★★ Elizabeth C.
A fun ride around Gozo for the whole family!
Highlights of Gozo E-Bike Tour
A great way to experience Gozo! I’ll never go back to a regular bike. We conquered the hills with no problem and saw Gozo with ease. We saw many wonderful sights! Chris was an excellent guide! Highly recommend!

Tour of surprises!
Venice to Trieste and Istria
Very good hotels, excellent app, great service in luggage transport. Highly recommendable, a thing to improve is the bike size. It was a very good bike , but one size bigger than my needs.

A tour into the heart of Italy
Venice to Florence: From Rialto Across the Sea to Ponte Vecchio
The tour was spectacular, amazing with a great mix of places: great cities, enchanted towns, warm villages. Every stop gave us a chance to watch something great, from nature to building, from churches to landscapes.

Danube self guided
Danube Bike Path 7 Nights (Classic)
This was a great trip. Great bikes. Great ride. Loved the hotels and little towns.
My only complaint was the tour rep that met us didn’t seem to have any time, he let us know he had to meet some people at another hotel. Did not help adjust bikes, poor briefing and left after giving us the basics on the bikes. .Other tour reps spent time and sat down with client's at the same hotel for quite some time.

Amazing way to see San Diego
Best of San Diego E-Bike Tour
A great way to start off a vacation. We got an overview of San Diego then picked what we wanted to spend more time on another day. Lots of history to learn about on your. We highly recommend. You don’t need to be a bike enthusiast. The bike does all the work.

Nice way to experience Belgium and the Netherlands.
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Fluvius (and reverse)
Very good ride. So much to see along the way and relatively easy. Planning with biketours.com worked well and our back and forth communication during the planning process was as expected. Pre-travel materials were accurate, and we were well prepared upon arrival in Europe. In country, Boat Bike Tours did a nice job. The boat was clean and well-staffed with friendly people. The bikes worked well, however we were not able to bring our own pedals and saddles as we have been able to swap them out on previous rides with biketours.com. Apart from blowing out the bearings on a pedal, we had no issues with the bikes. We went self guided and the directions via the Ride with GPS app were spot on and accurate. Highlights, bathrooms, restaurants along the route were highlighted and worth the visit. We liked having options on some days as well with a couple choices on rides. Though I enjoy staying in the different small European cities along the way and having our luggage transported on previous rides, the boat worked well, especially for those that wanted to take a day off due to rain or winds. For the most part, the boat parked in excellent locations making it easy to explore on your own. There was no curfew on the boat, so you could come and go as you please for the most part. Part of the trip is not riding, but on the boat. This is primarily through industrial areas, which was interesting because we traveled through multiple locks. We traveled with two vegans, and were told during planning process that they could not accommodate these diets, but the staff were eventually able to make vegan meals for the two which was not expected, but welcome none the less (thank you Firas on board the Fluvius!). Note that helmets were included on the boat free of charge, so don't pay the 10 Euro to rent one.

Exceeded expectations
Umbria’s Green Valleys From the Pilgrimage Town of Assisi
This was a brilliant way to experience and explore Umbria. The instructions were clear and the route design was really thoughtful. The tour operator has done a great job planning this route. There were so many highlights, riding through olive groves, exploring towns like Spoleto. We loved staying at Casco dell'Acqua, Ms Carla's cooking was magnificent.

Fantastic trip!
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique III (and reverse)
The crew, barge and guides were all top notch and the food was really good. Beautiful bike routes took us through lovely local scenery! Enjoyed walking tours in Antwerp and Bruges. Guides were super flexible and offered different options on a day with bad weather. Highly recommend!

A fantastic trip
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
We were very happy with the trip. We enjoyed cycling in the beautiful surroundings of Bodensee. The trip was very well organized and all the hotels very nice. We were there in august, the warmest time of the year and dificulty sleeping at a couple of hotels that did not have AC. Otherwise the trip was super good and great fun. There is friendly atmosphere everywhere, good service and delicious food.I highly recommend this trip. Einar and Margret

Great ride along the river
Strasbourg to Mainz: Imperial Cities and Charming Landscapes Along the Rhine
The tour was well organized with nice hotel choices. There were some challenges for the route, especially where construction was taking place. A gorgeous section of the river for riding.

Emilia Romagna
A Taste of Italy: Emilia-Romagna
Great way to experience the region. Adding a Cesarine cooking class personalized the cultural experience. Since the Agriturismo spot in Reggio Emilia is pretty isolated, one recommendation would be to shorten the stay there to one night and perhaps add another city enroute.

A Fabulous Trip
UNESCO Sites of Albania
First time biking as a way to visit a country and it was fabulous! I chose Albania as it was still untouched by tourism, the reviews were good, and it looked beautiful. Experiencing this beautiful country and its people while biking through its landscape fufilled my expectations beyond what I could imagine. The scenery was spectacular! And biking is a way to go! Our guide, Arijan and his assistant, Bato, were organized, patient, helpful, informative, and fun! We were in good hands! We had a group of 4 Americans, 4 Brits, and 2 Germans, which resulted in good exchanges and great conversations. I was thrilled with the variety and challenges of the varied terrain, but at age 70 an electric bike made the trip possible and enjoyable. The climbs would have been very difficult without one. I had read some reviews before signing on and took the good and necessary advice of training before going. Without training, this trip would be difficult. The bikes were in good condition and worked well considering a few of the rough roads we encountered. Our guides handled the varied paces of the group very effectively. The hotels were quite adequate with the exception of one mountain guest house, which was minimally adequate. The food was
abundant and very good. I highly recommend this tour company and the tour of Albania specifically! You will not be disappointed! It was a most memorable travel experience!- What was the date of your tour?

Stunningly Beautiful
Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)
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

The Magnificent Dolomites
Bicycle Paths of the Dolomites (based in one hotel)
This a dream place, if mountains are your pleasure! The paths are well marked and take you through some glorious scenery! We stayed at Hotel Laurin, which is a family owned hotel that works to accommodate its guests. Returning to the same hotel after a day of riding and then enjoying the sauna, pool, and lounging areas adds to the rejuvenating aspect of the vacation. But one of the best things about Hotel Laurin is the fantastic 5 course dinners and the wonderful breakfasts. I would also like to praise the USA’s BikeTours staff who are very responsive and work to answer all your concerns. Can’t say enough good about this choice for a great vacation!

Peaceful Mosel
Mosel Bike Path: Dreamy Mosel Valley from Trier to Koblenz
Riding along the Mosel was peaceful, beautiful, and fascinating. To see the ingenuity, commitment, and caring of vineyards on the steep inclines of the bluffs along the Mosel created amazement and interest. The trail at time were easy enough to allow a lot of gazing. However, there were also paths with surprises, i.e. blind turns that suddenly led to a steep incline, rather narrow paths along side the road, and sometimes narrow gravel paths. But, some of that, I guess, can be expected. We did have trouble downloading the navigation system and called Pedalo Company for help. Johannas came to the rescue, but with much effort to get us setup. We were very pleased with all the hotels except for our last one, Mecure Hotel in Koblenz, it was adequate, but we were quite spoiled by the others and the standard was not quite as high as the previous ones. A bigger problem at the Mecure was their inadequate bike storage, i.e. the bike cage had no electrical outlets for eBikes, so, the hotel had to store the bikes in a different area until charged and we could only charge one at a time. Upon the completion of charging, we had to take the bikes down to the bike cage. Another problem with the Pedalo agenda was the wine tasting. There was little help in telling us if we could bike or walk there, it was difficult to find, and the tour guide of the tasting said she would translate her 45 min. presentation in English now and then, but failed to. I was able, with my limited German, to understand most of it, but my friend was unable to and was, therefore, left out of the information. The wine we tasted was excellent, however! FYI, at Hotel Kessler Meyer in Cochem, do not trust google maps to get you to the hotel. It takes you to a dead end after a very steep street incline. Call the hotel for an easier way. In spite of those concerns, the trip down the Mosel was beautiful and overall thoroughly enjoyed.
