The Warmest Travel Feedback of the Season

We begin our cycling journey in France — more precisely, along the Loire, a region celebrated for its rich cultural heritage. Since 2000, the Loire Valley has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site, home to over 300 castles. Its fertile soil and the beautifully designed palace gardens have earned it the name “The Garden of France.”

In this fairy-tale region, our guest Bettina set out to explore the castles of the Loire. Here’s what she shared with us:

“A heartfelt thank-you for the flawless organization of this unforgettable ‘Loire à Vélo’ vacation! Everything worked perfectly — from the luggage transfer to the hotels, which were all wonderful. The bikes were in excellent condition, and the handover by the local representative was incredibly friendly and helpful. The route was perfectly chosen — not too demanding, wonderfully varied, taking us through forests, fields, vineyards, along romantic rivers, and through charming villages that invite you to stop for a break. The castles and their gardens were absolutely breathtaking! So many wonderful impressions to take home and relive later. An unforgettable experience! And the weather couldn’t have been better — not too hot, ideal for cycling, and we stayed dry the whole time! PS: We also met some lovely fellow travelers who had booked with Eurobike as well. Thank you! We’d love to travel with Eurobike again!”

The Alpine Republic has so much to offer. In addition to sporty challenges like crossing the Alps, there are also wonderful cycling routes along rivers and lakes. Our guest Tomasz chose just such a cycling tour in Austria for his active getaway. He opted for a lesser-known variant of the Danube Cycle Path, starting in the city of Mozart — Salzburg — and following the Inn Cycle Path to the three-river city of Passau, before continuing along the Danube to the capital, Vienna. An unforgettable experience — but let’s hear it in his own words:

“We recently completed the Eurobike Salzburg to Vienna cycling tour and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. The route itself was stunning, especially the first section to Passau. The cycle paths were excellent, often taking us through fields and forests. Overall, the tour was fairly easy and suitable for everyone (we used regular bicycles), with only a few slightly more challenging climbs (literally only 2–3). All the hotels were located in charming towns along the route with each offering its own attractions. The breakfasts were plentiful and delicious, and the service was excellent everywhere we stayed. The travel guide provided by Eurobike was very detailed, explaining what we would encounter along the route and suggesting interesting places to visit. We didn’t use the official Eurobike app but instead relied on the GPX files they supplied, which we uploaded to our navigation devices – and they worked perfectly. The luggage transfer was flawlessly organized: our bags were picked up on time every day and waiting for us at the next hotel. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. We highly recommend Eurobike to anyone looking for a well-organized, beautiful, and stress-free cycling adventure in Austria.”
