Baltic Bicycle Trips

The trip is well designed, combining wine tastings, château visits, and charming village stops along the route. The optional rest day in Amboise gave us plenty of time to explore Château du Clos Lucé, Leonardo da Vinci's final residence, where we could immerse ourselves in his remarkable inventions and artworks, as well as visit the excellent museum dedicated to his life and genius. The cycling is mostly on flat terrain, making it an easy and enjoyable ride for cyclists of all abilities. The scenery is spectacular, with vast open fields stretching to the horizon, peaceful rivers and lakes, magnificent châteaux, and picturesque medieval villages. Our guide, Erwin, was efficient, well organised, and took excellent care of the group, thoughtfully adapting the itinerary to cope with the unusual heatwave. He was also very knowledgeable about the local history and introduced us to some wonderful local restaurants. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a perfect combination of cycling, culture, history, food, and wine.

This was a great tour - the bikes were really well suited to the terrain. Accommodation was generally great. Navigation with Ride with GPS was really good. We liked that someone met us before we headed out and gave us a road book that we could review each evening before the next day's ride.

We did the self-guided bike and barge trip from Amsterdam to Bruges. We loved everything about this trip - the atmosphere of the barge itself, getting to know other passengers, connecting with other self-guided passengers, the incredible bike routes and paths that kept us away from cars for much of the cycling. All in all an incredible experience.

We just returned from this trip (June, 2026) and were blessed with nice sunny weather (not too hot fortunately) and a great group of cyclist with a passionate local leader!

I've been wanting to do this trip for many years and it definitely did not disappoint. They made it so easy. All we had to do was show up ready. Everything else was already planned and waiting for us. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

We rode an unguided tour along the Danube from Passau, Germany to Vienna. We flew into and out of Vienna and took a train to Passau without incident. People were friendly, food was good, hotels were excellent. Each town we passed was old and worth seeing.
