Itinerary
Pedal through the heart of Bavaria on the Bavarian Beer Trail Cycle, an 8-day self-guided bicycle tour starting and ending in Nuremberg. Journey past fairy-tale castles, medieval towns like Bamberg and Rothenburg ob der Tauber, and along the famed Beer Cycle Route in the Aisch Valley, home to the world’s highest brewery concentration. Cycle stages can be shortened by train, and e-bike options are available, making this moderate-level trip accessible for experienced travelers and seniors alike. Savor smoky beers, sample Franconian sausages, and unwind in lively beer gardens after each ride. The tour’s USP is its blend of cultural discovery and beer heritage, offering a unique way to experience Germany’s traditions from the saddle.

Customer Reviews
We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. As this was our very first European cycling trip we really didn’t know what to expect but the trip exceeded our expectations! The information provided before (the tip about a charging stick was invaluable) and during was great. The accommodations were fantastic, especially their location. It was so nice after a long ride to arrive at the hotel, be able to check in, have our bags available and then, after a shower, be able to head out on foot to explore the sights! The breakfasts were amazing and fuelled us for the ride ahead. The navigation system generally worked well although a bit tricky in larger centres but we figured things out. The bikes were well maintained and worked well.
I’m so glad I did this trip - calling it the Bavarian Beer Tour sadly underplays the variety of experiences that it encompasses!
Oh my word, fantastic. Great bikes, super luggage service, accommodation superior to my expectations given we were cyclists with the potential to turn up muddy and wet. So safe, cycle routes and paths. Beautiful scenery, very friendly locals, brilliant breakfasts too. My experience of continental breakfasts did not prepare me for the quality and level of choices. Kate kept me fully informed. Nothing was complicated. I took this holiday as a gamble, having not done anything like it before or even considered it; will definitely look to their other options. The perfect weather was a bonus
Really enjoyed it. Great itinerary, hotels and bikes in very good condition. An extra rest day from bikes in Bamberg would have been great as limited time to explore this lovely town.
Everything so well organised!
