Luggage was transported everyday to the next hotel as well as having a support vehicle during the ride.

Europe Bike Tours was wonderful on our bike trip from Prague to Kraków. Due to health reasons, we had to switch to a premium electric bike at the last minute, and they accommodated us. The electric bikes made the trip a dream and gave us more time to see sites. When we had a couple of issues on the road they sent somebody on a taxi to deliver parts. The accommodations were wonderful, the direct...

Excellent experience. I traveled alone from Colombia. I took the Prague to Passau tour. Communication was excellent, as was the bike (I requested a gravel bike). The hotels were good, all bike-friendly (they had a designated bike storage area). Highly recommended.

Our party of four enjoyed ourselves immensely riding the standard Prague-to-Dresden route in reverse, found the hotels to be a nice balance of convenience and comfort, and had zero issues with the bikes. We have used the RidewithGPS app before and found it to be a great asset on this ride too. We highly recommend bike tours.com and their in-country affiliates. William A.

My wife and I recently completed a guided 8-day cycling trip from Prague to Krakow. We enjoyed it thoroughly. The scenery was beautiful. The back roads we cycled on were generally quiet with very few motorized vehicles, although cycling through a few towns was a little sketchier. The cycling itself was easy to moderate, averaging just over 60km/day with an average elevation of just over 300...

It was our first time visiting the Czech/German countryside and there was loads of cultural interests to see along the route. Our hotels were very central with helpful staff. We especially liked that Europe Bikes checked in with us every evening to see that we arriv...

Ever since I returned to the U.S. five days ago, from our incredible 12 day biking trip from Prague to Budapest, (a little over 400 miles), I keep telling all my friends and family that it was “the trip of a lifetime!”. Yet, in the back of my mind, I’m thinking, “I want to do this again!” The beauty of that part of the world is mind blowing and so fulfilling! Being able to ride bikes (e-bik...
