Traveler Reviews

Don’t take our word for it

Why people keep coming back

One of the best endorsements we can get is repeat business, and we’ve always been flattered by how many of our travelers come back year after year. We are honored that they feel confident enough to recommend us to their friends. If you don’t have a friend who’s been on tour with us to explain why almost 70% of our travelers every year are return travelers, these the folks quoted below would be happy to help out

From other sites:

					I recently returned from an ExperiencePlus Bike and Barge tour from Amsterdam to Burge. This was our first tour with ExperiencePlus and we are already planning to book another. We had an amazing time on this well organized tour with caring professional guides. I highly recommend ExperiencePlus tours and especially this specific tour.

					If you plan to tour Europe by bicycle you could not find a better group to accomplish that. They provide quality equiptment and great people. This was my second tour with them and compared to other folks I have ridden with they are far and away superior. You could not make a better choice. They refrain from hand holding and allow you to experience what you are there for.

					Just returned from an outstanding bike tour of Sicily with ExperiencePlus. Tour leaders were knowledgeable and friendly. The routes were varied and took us on little-used roads to lovely villages. Car traffic was extremely courteous and safe. The ancient history in Sicily was largely unknown to us and very interesting. History, excellent food, good routing and terrific guides: that’s what we look for in our biking.

					My third organized ride with ExperiencePlus. Biked Coastal Croatia and Dalmatia for 12 days. Tremendous experience, I highly recommend ExperiencePlus Co. It was for me a 5 star event from beginning to end, they exceeded all of my expectations again. Already planning two other trips with them. Having had other experiences with Big name companies, I can say with no hesitation ExperiencePlus is unbeatable in every aspect from initial planning to the quality of bikes, tour leaders, the generosity at dining events, to the last hugs and Ciao Ciao’s, with watery eyes in most of the participants. I really don’t think it can get any better. Bravo ExperiencePlus👏.

					Amazing tour of Provence – Great guides, great bikes, great cycling with the right amount of challenge, great sites and culture, places to stay, food and wine, and a lovely collection of travelers ……. and if you want to push yourself, you can climb Mont Ventoux.  Fantastic experience, highly recommended.

					Wonderful trip from Vienna to Prague. The guides were friendly and engaging. The self guide GPS was a great feature along with the chalk markings on the road. Nice group of active and interesting people.

Tour leaders

Outstanding and experienced leaders who clearly love what they do and want to provide the best experience for the guests!”I felt I had the best benefits of a group tour – logistics, preplanning, support during the day, luggage handling, meeting new people – and the benefits of independent travel, in that I could ride on my own, at my own pace, and see the towns we stayed at as I saw fit, without being stuck with a group if I did not want to. A hard balance to achieve, but achieved it was.
Judi B., Waban, MA: Bicycling Patagonia’s Lakes District Plus! the Island of Chiloe

They were all fabulous, and were great at seeing that everyone was taken care of, and were part of the group, given many diverse personalities on any trip. To me this is key, especially for solo travelers.
Sheila M., Boston, MA: Bicycling Catalonia’s Costa Brava

We love all your tour leaders! You could tell how much they enjoyed not only the clients, but each other too, which made it really fun for all of us! They were laughting and really having a great time, but still doing an excellent job!
Dona J., Fallbrook, CA: Cycling Piemonte

I could go on about this trip but it was ideal and having done one I will look into doing another. That says it all.
Niola M., Beloit, WI: Bike and Barge: Amsterdam to Bruges

“The best possible life experience on a bike. Off the chart trip. My first experience with EP. Will not be my last – already looking at a 2025 trips.”
Jan T., Fort Collins, CO: Cycling the Portuguese Camino

First-time travelers

Guided independence

“I felt I had the best benefits of a group tour – logistics, preplanning, support during the day, luggage handling, meeting new people – and the benefits of independent travel, in that I could ride on my own, at my own pace, and see the towns we stayed at as I saw fit, without being stuck with a group if I did not want to. A hard balance to achieve, but achieved it was.”
Steve B. Asheville, NC Bike Across Italy – Venice to Pisa May

“I continue to be impressed by your flexibility in providing riders of different capabilities and interests a satisfying experience. You have largely succeeded in providing satisfaction to everyone!”
John E. Pittsburgh, PA: Biycling the Vineyards of Alsace

“You could see the time and effort they put into putting the route, hotels, wines, and meals.
So thorough!”
Gary F., Fort Collins, CO: Bicycling Paris to Lyon Plus! Marseille
