Kate Benfer Autralia	Saar-Moselle Tour in May 2013: My husband & I enjoyed a hassle-free week on the Saar & Mosel, cycling through beautiful countryside. Highly recommended! Kate & James Australia

Janene Paton Kirribilli / Australia	Two friends of Australia, who made the Upper Bavaria Tour at the end of September 2012: "A thoroughly enjoyable, well organized tour".

Ian Bruce and Family Pathhead, Scotland, UK	We had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday on the Saar-Mosel tour. The accomodation was excellent, the arrangments with our baggage went to plan, the bikes were very good quality, and the route information, including the suggestions on towns and villages to visit, was invaluable. Our 10 year old daughter managed the route without any problems, and the network of off-road cycle paths in this region is exceptional. This makes it a very pleasant experience touring by bike, and when added to the lovely countryside, interesting towns and villages, and friendly welcome we received, it made for a lovely family holiday. Without any prior knowledge of the region, we couldn't have organised a trip like this ourselves, so I'd really like to thank German Cycling Tours for helping us to experience the best of this lovely area.

Avinash Jadhav Pune /India	Rhine-Neckar Tour in July 2012: "It was a very fastastic tour. First three days it was very hot but then another four days it was very confortable... ....We are thinking of coming next year also for some another cycle tour and will communicate you accordingly. We are very thankful to you for organising such a beautiful tour."

Tim Rutherford Broxburn / UK	Three couples made the Upper Bavaria Tour in June 2012: Tim and Vivien Rutherford: "Well organized tour through well signposted cycle tracks and small roads that amazing vistas and stunning scenery and lovely weather made the entire holiday complete. One of the best holidays we´ve been on!" Roger and Val Griffiths: "A very enjoyable holiday with wonderful scenery that made the not too arduous climbing worthwhile. The bikes were excellent and appropriate for the terrain." Liz Fairwether and Dick Man: "This is our second time with GCT. This time we did not have a Support / Guide and that gave us a bit more flexibility – which we appreciated. We have enjoyed both holidays tremendously. Bavaria was at it beautiful best and we thoroughly enjoyed cycling through the wonderful countryside. Everyone we met was helpful and friendly. Thanks again."

Jose Martins Carine / Australia	Jose and Dorita Martins made the Upper Bavaria - Allgeau Tour in July 2012: " We enjoyed our trip very much and particularly enjoyed the route and scenery. We wold do it again.

Todd Andrews New York /USA	Shortened Moselle tour in May 2012: "It was a great trip. We were all VERY happy with the tour. Todd"

Tony Evans and Neils Tonkin Westleigh /Australia	North tour in May 2012: "We finished the tour as planned, and had an enjoyable experience. The tour took us along lots of good rural cycle paths and through many interesting towns and villages..... .....The standard of accomodation throughout was good. So thank you for the tour. It gave us a good view of this part of Germany and we have been impressed by much we have seen."

Anne and Ian Helmore Ruscombe /GBR	Elbe River Upstream Tour in August 2011: "We had a wonderful holiday. It was very well organised, the hotels were very good and very friendly."

Carl-Erik Kopseng Oslo / Norway	Rhine-Neckar Tour in July 2011 (couple 25-30 y.): We adored the hotels in Oberwesel and Heidelberg, and the hospitality and friendliness of the hotel family in Oberwesel was fairytale-like. The information given was of true German quality: outstanding and very comprehensive. In overall we were very pleased with the route, the planning and the hotels that we stayed at. The beds were usually superb and far better than expected. The service provided by GCT in such short notice was of course brilliant!

Ron and Denise Flory Cedar Falls, Iowa, USA	Upper Bavaria Tour in September 2011: The cycling tour was one of our best vacations ever and in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Seeing the Bavarian Alps by bicycle was a much better experience than sitting in a bus, which I had done 33 years earlier. Every day was at least as beautiful and awe inspiring as the opening scenes from the musical "Sound of Music".

Eric Lawrence New York	August 2011: "This was the most memorable trip my wife and I have ever been on. It went above and beyond all of our expectations. Bavaria is one of the most beautiful places on the planet, and to be led to the most remote areas of the region, places that people cannot see by car, was an incredible experience. As avid cyclists, our self-guided tour was perfectly routed and the accommodations were very comfortable." -Eric New York

The Erickson Family Ithaca, NY, USA	Our family (2 adults and 3 children) did the Bavarian tour this summer and had a terrific time. Everything was well organized - the hotels were lovely, our luggage was always waiting for us, and the route info was detailed enough so we were never confused for long! The scenery was spectacular and although the riding was challenging it was never overwhelming. We hope to come back and do another tour!

Vicki and Walter Voros Nanoose Bay, British Columbia, Canada	We had a wonderful 10 days of cycling and sightseeing from Saarbrucken to Koblenz. We found the people in general very friendly and helpful, with many of them speaking at least some English. On the trip we were surprised to see how busy the rivers Saar and Rhine are with commerce. For us it was altogether a great experience and very good value. We would thoroughly recommend German Cycling as an efficient company and would not hesitate to use them again. Vicki and Walter, British Columbia, Canada

Ben Beaugeard Ditchingham, Bungay, Suffolk, UK	Ben Beaugeard was with his family the second time our guests in August 2011 (Saar-Moselle Tour)and wrote as they were at home: "Thanks again Birgit for another enjoyable holiday. The children really enjoyed the cycling and are now missing getting on the bikes everyday now we are home again. The bikes and the hotels were all of very good quality and it was a pleasure to cycle along paths that were traffic free."

Vincent and Wendy Cleary Sydney / Australia	Vincent and Wendy enjoyed together with two other couples the Rhine-Neckar Tour in June 2011: "Thank you for a successful cycling tour. However we did experience some difficulties with the instructions and wondered how best we can get that feedback to you. The cycle guys were really good by the way, very helpful and accommodating."

I wanted to let you know that we had a great time while in Germany. The scenery was fantastic and the people we met along the way were really great, especially when we got lost a couple of times and they helped us get back on track. The hotels were very nice as were the hotel staff, especially Ed and Sonja at the Landgasthof Ratz in Rheinau-Helmlingen.... ...would heartily recommend German Cycling Tours to other cyclists wishing to see the Rhine-Neckar area. You delivered on all of our expectations as we had a holiday to always remember. Vielen Dank.

The weather was a bit cool but cycling up all the hills helped us stay warm! The guest houses were all wonderful with really friendly staff! We had no issues at all with the luggage transfer or bikes. Your recommendations for lunch spots were also excellent. We sampled many different beers and loved them all! Our favourite was the Franziskaner that we tried in the beer garden of the monastery. The countryside was beautiful and the cycling paths were the best we have been on."

Elisabeth Fairwether Glasgow/Scotland	Elisabeth Fairwether made with two friends the Upper-Bavaria Group Tour in August 2008: "In general, we all had a great time. We thought that we had good value for money and we have no complaints at all. Dr Peter Haase is an excellent “tour guide” – always helpful, friendly and we were always amazed that he could be just at the right place at the right time. This is one of the best holiday weeks we have had."

I understand that our individual tour was not one that you offer everybody, but we really appreciated the fact that you could organise this tour for us, as it was an area we really wanted to visit. The cycling, the hotels and the weather were just about perfect, and the problem with my sons bike was fixed with the minimum of fuss. Many thanks once again, the Beaugeards."

James Neureuther Lanesboro/Massachusettes/USA	James Neureuther made in April 2008 with his wife and two friends the Saar-Moselle Tour and wrote, as they were back at home: "We have returned home from your most wonderful tour. Everything was wonderful - even the weather! We did not get any rain while riding and had occassional sun at many times. The Hotels were very nice and the breakfast was overwhelming each day. We enjoyed every minute of the tour. So many nice little villages and towns. The Hotels always moved our bags and had a secure place to keep the bicycles each night. No problems with the bicycles - only one flat tire which we patched. The bike path through the Saar loop was closed for construction of a rock falling net but we cycled through without being challenged. The bicycle paths are so nice. Germany has so many miles of wonderful paths. We wish the same was true in the USA. We all agree that German Cycling Tours is the best and we are eager to take another trip sometime in the future. I am happy to recommend German Cycling Tours to everyone we know.... ... If you get inquiries from other interested people from the USA or Canada, you may give them my email information and I will gladly correspond with them and tell them how wonderful you are! Thank you so much for the best cycle tour we have ever experienced!"
