Interesting and fun bike ride!
Tuscany and Umbria: Cycling in the Heart of Italy
The trip was well organized. Great communication with Bike Tours during the planning, and the local bike company was exceptional. We used e-bikes, which made the trip very enjoyable.
There was some road traffic getting in/out of cities, but within a mile we were on country roads or trails. The bikes were great, with plenty of range to use additional assist for the long uphills. The variety of lodgings was interesting (old and modern), and the GPS for the self-guided tour worked perfectly. Highly recommend!- What was the date of your tour?

Spring in Spain is breathtaking. Filled with wildflowers and glowing green.
Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway
Starting with the ancient beauty of Albarracin, through the pine forests, red rock cliffs, orchards, and rolling hills, the scenery was often spectacular. And at each latitude a different array of wildflowers. There was some construction on the trail that created a challenge but seems that is part of biking. The issues we encountered on the route could have been better addressed with clear communication. We spent an extra day in both Valencia and Alberracin. I would suggest a day break halfway through the trip also. Segorbe would be a good choice. A little R&R after the 40 mile day. Breakfasts and hotels were great. The bikes, we had ebikes, were a little beat up. Had some trouble with the chain slipping on one bike, the battery didn't last the full 40 miles on the other and the pedals were locking up on the last day. A chain cleaning cloth and some lubricant would be helpful in the tool bag. All in all an adventure with far more moments of awe than hassle.

Amazing way to see Crete
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
Overall this is an amazing way to see an amazing island. The hotels were all nice with good breakfasts, and all of the planning and logistics went quite smoothly. The tour company was quite responsive and helpful when issues arose. Definitely get an E-bike though, there are tons of hills on Crete! The days were all quite manageable with an E-bike. The route went through a nice mix of villages, countryside and along the Ocean. The route is entirely on roads (no bike paths), some of which were a bit busy at times. There are a few touristy things to see along the way each day as well which was nice.

Easy and scenic
Lake Constance Bicycle Path
gREAT trip, excellent accommodation but to improve accommodation we would recommend having tea/coffee making facilities in every room and preferably a small fridge that guests can keep cool drinks in. Especially important at end of a day if guests arrive hot, tired or thirsty

Even though I was on a self-guided tour (and solo), I always felt fully supported by Jorge and the team. Would highly recommend!

Beautiful scenery, well-supported trip
Portugal's Coastal Splendor from Porto to Lisbon
Our local agency provided the best customer service I’ve had in three European bike trips. They gave great sightseeing and restaurant recommendations, communicated daily and solved problems quickly. We were self-guided, but they rode with us out of town in our first day, to make sure we got on the right route. The hotels were terrific, route was beautiful,
the Portuguese people were charming and welcoming.- What was the date of your tour?

One of our best tours ever!
Biking Through the Heel of Italy from Puglia to Salento
We have taken 11 bike tours over the years and we believe that this may have been the best so far.
The bikes were great, the navigation was spot on, the support was excellent, and the trip was well thought out.All of the inns and hotels were clean and perfectly located, and the staff was always friendly and helpful. They all had easily accessible places to store and charge the e-bikes. The breakfasts were well stocked and enjoyable. One inn had dinner included and it was top notch.
The rides were all very well planned out and took us through olive groves, vineyards, farms, and some of the most beautiful coastal views we have ever seen. Routes were mostly on very quiet roads or bike paths. Getting in and out of some of the bigger towns required riding on city streets but that was expected and did not last long.
The trip included a few excursions that were also very enjoyable. Wine tasting, olive oil tasting, city tour, and even a boat cruise.
Every night we ate at one of the suggested restaurants, and they were all wonderful--away from the crowded touristy spots, but still nearby.
We arrived for Day One of our tour on a Sunday, so it worked out that we passed through some of the smaller towns on the weekend when everything was open even in pre-season (our trip was in April).
We also made some extra stops and detours along the way to enjoy more sites and scenery. Be sure to read the points of interest in the materials provided, take it slow, and enjoy the journey.

Loire a Velo: Orleans to the Atlantic
The trip was memorable!!! The 4-star hotels were well-located and offered excellent service. The distances covered were appropriate, leaving plenty of free time to enjoy the destination upon arrival. The electric bikes worked perfectly. Kate's attention and advice before and during the trip, as well as that of the local provider, were invaluable. We will definitely book with Biketours again.

Incredible Experience, highly recommend!
Albarracín to Valencia Along Spain's Longest Greenway
Wonderful experience. Very peaceful ride with very few other cyclists or walkers on the route (April). The support from Sandi and his team was really good, with updates every day that included restaurant recommendations, very helpful. Accommodations and breakfasts were top notch.
The bikes were heavy, about 30 pounds, with larger tyres and lots of gears: both the tyres and gears were much needed at times: a long steady climb on day one and lots of gravel on other days.The tour ended with two nights in Valencia staying in a busier area: perfect for those looking to explore the city but for those who like the countryside they may wish to tweak the itinerary. We loved all the beautiful scenery, riding through the tunnels, and staying in beautiful and tidy towns. The value for the price was very high, and we are definitely recommending it to friends.

Beautiful Beaches and Mountains
Sardinia: A Mine of Memories
The tour was just the right length each day, the terrain was moderately difficult to difficult (I switched from manual bike to e bike after the first day), the GPS guide was easy to follow, and the views were stunning. The food was excellent (especially at the agrotourism farms). The accommodations were very good and all the staff were helpful.

A great trip.
Along the Rhône River from Geneva to Lyon
The scenery was fantastic. The route was a good balance of relaxing and challenging. The bike was a good quality bike and well maintained. I’m glad we opted for e-bikes. We had no seasoned cyclists in our group, but we coped with hills and terrain quite effectively thanks to the e-bikes.

Good Value
Vienna to Budapest 5-nights (Active)
A friend was supposed to join me on this bike tour but she had to bail and I ended up riding Solo which was kind of lonely. That said that route was excellent and pretty easy to follow. The TO's team was very responsive to my questions and concerns and it went a long way in making me confident on my solo ride. My only complaint was the e-bike. It was much heavier than what I'm used to riding which meant I needed to use more assistance. This gave me battery anxiety. The saddle/seat was very rigid and even with padded bike shorts I was very sore at the end of each day. I say this as a long distance endurance cyclist so I am used to being on a saddle for hours and hours. I usually don't get saddle sore. I got sick at the midpoint on the last day and TO help me figure out what to do with the bike and how to get to my final hotel. I appreciate their efforts.

Anita,
Thank you for your thoughtful review!
We're really glad to hear the team was able to support you and help you feel confident throughout your ride, and that you enjoyed the route.
Sorry that the e-bike and saddle didn’t meet your expectations, especially given your experience as a cyclist. Your feedback is truly appreciated and will help improve moving forward.

An excellent trip from start to finish
Cycling Vietnam: Saigon to Hoi An
What a fantastic experience. Our guides were so helpful and friendly and thought of everything. From the frequent food and drink stops, to rain jackets when we were unexpectedly caught in a shower to a beer at the end of a tough day of cycling. We couldn't have wished for a better support team! Mr Kim, Mr Khanh, Mr Huy, Mr Lua and Mr Hung were the best! Thanks for a great trip

Pure magic!
Danube Family Tour 7 Nights
This was our first bike trip as a family. Our girls were 7 and 8 at the time so it proved slightly challenging for them at moments but mostly just because our days were long. The experience was like magic and we genuinely enjoyed every town we stopped in. We were grateful to find food for our very picky eaters along the way (one of our biggest concerns going into the trip). We enjoyed the trip during apricot season was absolutely incredible. Our kids will never enjoy fresh juices in the way that we did in Austria ever again! We added a couple of extra nights in Vienna which was well worth it. Take the trip!

This trip was a fantastic fit for us
Canal du Midi: Carcassonne to Sete, the South of France and the Sea
This was our first bike tour in France; we will definitely be back for more. In general, the tours and experience were as advertised. Actually, the experience exceeded my expectations. Each of the stops were interesting in their own right, and Carcassonne was a great place to start. We loved the aesthetic of the canals and boats. We saw towns and back country that we never would have seen by car or train. The riding was spectacular. We were very pleased that 95 percent of the riding was on backroads and along the canal trails. We had very good food. I was worried about the one dinner that was included in the tour at an inn in a small village. It ended up being one of our favorite meals.
Hotels were perfectly fine (the trip was two years ago, so I don't recall the details). The bags and portering worked well at each location. The first day reception and bike and map training were also on point. The map app worked great. I was really glad I had ear buds. We really didn't have to reference the maps much along the way because you get verbal prompts from the app when the path changes or veers in another direction.
Yes, there are some climbs, as advertised, through a couple of passes. I was a happy for the exertion, my partner was happy with the e-bike!
About us: We are a couple from the US, fit, 52 and 61 at the time of the trip. We did a self guided tour. One of us was on a regular trail bike, one was on an electric trail bike. We have traveled in France many times.
