What was the highlight of the trip for You?
Our cycling route was diverse and beautiful. The cycling conditions (roads and bike paths, signage) was excellent.
What do You think we could do better?
Align navigation resources (apps, maps, gps, route booklet)
We had a self-guided trip and enjoyed the freedom this provided us. Yet we did miss having access to a local person to help us learn more about the country and the specific areas we were riding through. Reading about local customs and conditions on line is not as rich and interesting as interacting with a local person would have been.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
Forests, logging canal around Hotel Marlin. And their lunch!
What do You think we could do better?
I would have preferred a somewhat lighter bike. Next time would pay more attention to bike choice. Not your fault.
It was great. Would love to repeat next year.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
It is difficult to pick one thing. From cycling through the forests to cycling through the vineyards on the Danube and everything in between it was extraordinary.Cesky Krumlov was stunning. We really enjoyed two nights in Cesky Krumlov as there was so much to see .We will never forget cycling around the lakes and stopping for strudel at any available spot. Another highlight was getting to meet Petr and the drivers who transported us and our bikes.
What do You think we could do better?
The entire trip was fantastic
Thank you Petr for an amazing trip. We have recommended your company to many friends.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
Cycling through the wine country between Mikulov and Lednice.
What do You think we could do better?
Better description of the trails on the trip description. I was wasn`t expecting some of the mountain bike trails on parts of the trip. And I would suggest putting cell phone holders on the bikes so that we could navigate using the mapy app as the GPS was sometimes unreliable.
Thanks Petr for a tremendous trip through southern Czechia! Service through Czech Bike Tours was top notch from pick up in Prague to drop off in Cesky Krumlov. The bike was great and I really enjoyed the trails, the scenery, hotels and food. I would only recommend that there be cell phone holders mounted on the bikes so that you could navigate using the mapy app as the gps was sometimes unreliable and confusing. Thanks again for a fantastic trip!

So many ... castles, forests, lakes, beer, wine, dumplings
What do You think we could do better?
Difficult to fault such a well organised tour.
I completed the Best of South Morovia and South Bohemia ride. Czech Bike Tours did an excellent job patching together a route across the south of Czechia that covered the best of what is on offer. Information on the route and what to see along the way was complete with several mediums when one let you down. Recommended restaurants were always good. There was a bit more dirt and rough patches than I expected which make it a ride for a keen cyclist. Highly recommended

I think everything was great! I don't know how you could improve.
We took this trip to celebrate 35th wedding anniversary. I have to say, it was one of our best trips. We loved every minute of it. It was really perfect. We loved the itinerary and seeing the beautiful country side. It rates as one of the best vacations we ever had! Thank you for the memories.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
There wasn't a major highlight, Each day had wonderful riding, nice views of the countryside, castles, chateaus and ended in nice small towns.
What do You think we could do better?
Do away with the printed route book. Put the routes into the Mappy.cz app.
There are thousands of miles of trails and routes available to ride in the Czech Republic. We rode the Greenway II itinerary. You can ride the programmed routes or go off route with the GPS provided or the Mappy.cz app on your phone will get you either back on track or to your final destination. Everyone is different, but I would have liked the option of multiple routes per day that were pre-programmed so you could choose short, medium, or long rides without the hassle of potentially getting a little lost. More work for the company, but nice for the client. The routes provided were perfectly fine and enjoyable rides. Hotels were perfect and always within walking distance of the town squares, etc. Petr was fantastic. Pickup and return to Prague was perfect. Had an issue with a bike, luckily at the end of a ride, (partially user-related), and Petr replaced the bike before the next day's ride. I wanted to do an extra ride on the last day in Cesky and Petr accommodated me. He drove me out to the National Park about 30 miles away from Cesky and dropped me off. The 70K bike ride was beautiful and enjoyable. Upon returning and turning in the bike, I tried to pay Petr for the drive and the ride and he wouldn't accept anything. Wow! Now, don't expect that, but that's what you call great service and great customer support. I can't say enough about Petr and his crew in Cesky. All around fantastic folks and company. I would recommend them with the highest degree of confidence and sincerity. For a great riding trip to see the Czech Republic, book with Czech Bike Tours!! Don and Michele from Colorado

What do You think we could do better?
Absolutely nothing. Everything was perfect!! From the moment of booking to the very end, we had amazing service with very clear communication.
Thank you again, Petr. We had the most amazing trip and will remember our ride with Czech Bike Tours with the fondest memories. We have already recommended you to our friends.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The whole thing was amazing. It was te perfect route, distance, lots of interesting things to see along the way with plenty of peaceful spots to stop along the way for a picnic. Stopping at a pond or in the forest for lunch that we usually brought with us was my favorite. We took the self guided tour but even then we felt like someone was watching over us along the way. Highlights: we spent an additional day around Mikulov and it was worth it, Slavonice, Znojmo. The Chatteau Vranov suprised us, beautiful.
What do You think we could do better?
Offering a cell phone holder for the bikes. The GPS navigation system was spotty at times due to satelite reception, Mapy.cz app seemed to be more reliable.
Absolutely! I come from the Czech Republic and although I have not been living there for almost 40 years I am proud to "show off" the beauty of the countryside, beyond Prague and other tourist centers. For those intimidated by the distance I would suggest an e-bike, but completing the route on a regular bike gave me a huge sense of accomplishment. This trip was my dream for a few years and it has exceeded my expectations.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The whole trip was so incredible that it is hard to say one highlight. Cruising through the forest, catching four tabby cats lounging on a brick wall in a small village, getting caught in a rain, passing blooming flowers in a meadow, the church at Maria Taferl, etc. It was perfect.
What do You think we could do better?
I really appreciated having the cell phone with the map app because I didn't get the Mio Cyclo gps to work well for me. The cell phone was a great backup. The bikes were a bit heavy, but I appreciated them with the front suspension when we were on some of the rougher paths. The bikes held up well. Good seats too.
Petr, Thanks again for the bike tour. It was truly memorable.

We had the BEST experience cycling with Czech Bike Tours and highly recommend the personalized, attentive service they offer to explore this beautiful country. Petr adjusted the agenda to fit our needs, was very flexible and accommodating. to To travel in April was a great decision as it was quiet, quaint and personalized service. Highly recommend!

Too many highlights- beautiful forests (really enjoyed lovely ride through the forest to Novy Hradek ruins), pretty towns, magnificent castles...
What do You think we could do better?
Maybe for our worn out knees, hotel rooms on the ground or lower floors if no lift in the hotel :) And suggest a day a rest in the middle of a 13 day tour :)
We had a fabulous time and hope to do another trip in the future. Thanks Petr!

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
This trip was a wonderful opportunity to discover parts of Bohemia and the Wachau valley and cycle through some beautiful landscapes. We enjoyed learning about the history of the Czech Republic and exploring the beautiful and historic cities on the route. The routes were diverse and interesting, and the cycle paths were great.
What do You think we could do better?
Having 2 nights in Czech Krumlov rather than in Dolni Vltavice would be nice, especially in the fall when swimming in the lake is not an option. They cycling route leading into Czecky Krumlov near the cement plant had a lot of traffic and big trucks - an alternative route would be nice
I would highly recommend Czech Bike Tours! Petr and his team provided excellent service - good communication, high quality and well outfitted bicycles, interesting routes, and personalized service. I appreciated that they are a local company who focuses on trips in the Czech Republic.

We really enjoyed our trip. We would definitely consider using you again. Every email was answered promptly. Our favourite place to stay was Cesky Krumlov.
What do You think we could do better?
We took the self guide option and found that sometimes the guide book and the GPS routes were different , making it difficult to decide which direction to follow. We did however, find our way every day.
It was a pity that some of the towns were closed and we couldn't find shops open to buy lunch , or have a toilet break. Other than that, we had no complaints and thoroughly enjoyed our trip.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The bicycle routes themselves were easily my favorite part of the trip. They were well designed and varied in scenery. I could tell that someone put a lot of thought into designing the routes and did a lot of riding to figure out the best roads/paths to take that would be both enjoyable and pass by unique sights. And what do I mean by well designed? Well, the routes don’t always go from point A to point B by the most direct way, and they take you to more interesting places. For example, there is a straight, tree-lined, 5-mile road that connects the chateaus of Valtice and Lednice. The CBT route between Valtice and Lednice bypassed this road entirely, taking me on paths through the forest and passing ornate monuments that I wouldn’t know existed, giving me a much more unique and enjoyable experience. As a foreigner, there’s no way that I would’ve developed those routes by myself, even if I had access to the excellent Czech bicycle route maps that were provided to me by CBT. The well-designed routes were worth just as much to me as all the other services that CBT provided, because when all is said and done I booked this trip because I enjoy bicycling. Some individual moments worth noting: -The first ride around the Pálava Hills was lovely, and I took detours to hike to castle ruins Dívčí Hrady and Sirotčí Hrádek. -Riding though many sections of Podyjí National Park near Znojmo -Entering Znojmo by climbing a steep road up from the Dyjí River that had spectacular views -The first sight of the city and castle of Vranov nad Dyjí on a curvy descent -The bike paths near Třeboň that crisscrossed forests and lakes -A lovely kayak trip down a section of the Vltava in Český Krumlov
What do You think we could do better?
I’ve actually thought about this question for a while, and I can’t think of any major things Czech Bike Tours could’ve done to have made my trip better, beyond magically making me fluent in Czech! The bike equipment, the routes, the hotels, the luggage transfers, the bike routes, and the transport to and from Prague all happened without a hitch. Any minor problems/annoyances I had were of my own making, and the one time I truly needed assistance while on the road (there was a dispute about payment at one of my hotels and a language barrier), Petr happily helped me over the phone early on a Sunday morning. With regards to the Czech Bike Tours website, I think it would be helpful to note that not all the routes are 100% paved. There are some off-road, dirt, and gravel sections. While this wasn’t an issue for me and the bike I was using was the right type to handle all the different road conditions (a hybrid bike with front suspension), it was unexpected and could be a bit of a shock to those used to riding exclusively on pavement.
I had an absolutely wonderful bicycling trip with Czech Bike Tours (CBT) this past fall! From September 24th to October 1st I biked from Mikulov in southern Moravia to Český Krumlov in southern Bohemia, passing though the Czech countryside and lovely cities and villages, all while using the Czech Republic’s excellent bicycle path network. At every step of the way CBT provided me with excellent service, and I felt well taken care off. Petr Janota, the owner of CBT, was always prompt in answering all the questions I had via email before the trip (always within 24 hours), and he personally drove me from Prague to the start of my tour in Mikulov where I received a detailed orientation and got my bike adjusted to my height. As an American, I was astounded by the excellent bike infrastructure in the Czech Republic. There’s a vast network of well-marked cycling paths crisscrossing the country, not to mention bike lanes in cities with a reasonable amount of traffic. I found plenty of bike racks/bike parking in front of attractions like the castles in Valtice, Vranov nad Dyjí, Landštejn, and Hluboké nad Vltavou as well as supermarkets. Bicycling trips are popular among Czechs themselves, and cars seem to respect bicyclists a hell of a lot more than they do in the USA. I never worried about getting lost as I had a GPS with the routes preprogrammed, paper maps with the routes highlighted, paper turn-by-turn directions, and a GPS app on a cellphone. I liked having access to all of those things, and I studied the paper maps in my hotel rooms in the evening. The cellphone (with a Czech sim card) I was provided had some very helpful apps, such as a Czech/English translator and mapy.cz. I used the translator mainly to translate signs on the road and in town, and mapy.cz was excellent for helping me known my exact location and getting a layout of the various towns I biked through. I felt that the difficulty of my route (moderate – experienced as rated by CBT), Greenway I. Mikulov - Český Krumlov, was accurate. This isn’t a trip for a beginning cyclist, and there are just enough elevation gain and off-road/dirt/gravel sections of the trails where decent bike handling skills are a must. I brought my own bike pedals (and shoes to clip into them) and helmet, which I highly recommend for comfort. I wish this company all the best, and I highly recommend booking a bicycle tour with them!

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
Cycling the backroads between České Budějovice and Český Krumlov.
What do You think we could do better?
Nothing we can think of.
The Czech Bike Tours trips are well organized and a great value, compared to other larger tour organizers. Petr Janota’s personal touch is evident throughout. The planned routes take you away from busy roads and guide you through the Czech countryside on national bike trails and quiet backroads. The biking equipment provided was first rate, and well suited for the routes. We booked the self-guided Prague-Vienna Odyssey for the last week in September, so we were one of Petr’s last trips for the season. He personally picked us up in Prague and drove us to Jindřichův Hradec to start out tour. Over coffee in a small café, he laid out the materials for our trip: guidebooks with directions and photographs, detailed maps, a GPS navigation system, and a local Czech cell phone. We relied primarily on the GPS, but we had at least two backups at the ready. Over the next seven days we enjoyed a different cycling experience each day, followed by wonderful hotels, and great meals at the restaurants Petr had recommended. Petr’s son picked up the luggage each day and moved it to the next destination. Many of the days offered a choice of routes to the next destination, so you could pick your level of difficulty. At the end of the trip, Petr again picked us up personally, and drove us two hours to our train station. We highly recommend Czech Bike Tours to any North American cyclists looking to tour in the Czech Republic and Austria. You should skip the big operators and work with someone who can customize your trip and provide top notch personal service. Thank you, Petr, for a trip we will never forget. John and Carol

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
We enjoyed everything.
We really enjoyed this trip - our first bike trip. Going Self-guided was no problem because of the thorough preparation of Petr and his team. We had maps, guide books and GPS- so in 3 days I think we made only 1 slight mistake which we corrected ourselves in 10 minutes The route was perfect - small villages, forest trails, quiet paths and streets, very little time on roads with traffic. We upgraded to e-Bikes which weren't really needed on this route, but made the rides a little easier and quicker for us. We'd recommend this trip to anyone wanting a relaxing way to visit the lovely small towns in Bohemia, and it was great to finish up in Pesky Krumlov! Petr even arranged an easy, nonstop, comfortable bus ride at the end of our trip that took us right to our next destination: Salzburg, Austria. (We did not need to return to Prague!)

Fantastic communication. Friendly, reliable and happy in all our interactions. Lovely part of the world. I have already recommended Petr and his Team at Czech Bike tours to several family and friends.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The highlight was the whole thing. I loved it! I want to do more vacations like this. I loved the long stretches on the bike paths or through forests that had no cars.
What do You think we could do better?
Would prefer to never be on roads with cars as it makes me anxious but maybe it's not possible to eimlinate them completely.
Thank you for a wonderful experience! Bohemia is beautiful and we enjoyed it. The hotels were nice with good locations and the 2nd and 3rd day breakfasts were outstanding. The bikes worked well and were solid with good seats, though we were really glad we had brought padded biking shorts. The pubs along the way were delightful and friendly. When we had a flat, other cyclists helped us repair it in a jiffy. When I hurt my knee slipping on some grass, I got help right away with a pick up and Petr let me use his crutches, and even take them since I could not walk well yet when we left. A unique experience and kudos to Petr's team and family who could not be more welcoming and kind. Thank you!

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The absolute beauty of South Bohemia
What do You think we could do better?
Some of the hotel rooms had A/C but not all. It would be nice to have at least a fan in the room.
We recently went on a glorious 3 day South Bohemia self guided bike tour organized by Czech Bike Tours. Petr, the owner and organizer, sent his driver to pick us up in Brno and then personally met with us at the start of our trip. While he treated us to a lovely outdoor cafe lunch, he went over the route, provided us with the bikes (Pedelec in our case), helmets, maps, and trip GPS. The bike route alternated between forest paths, small picturesque towns, and soft green fields with rivers and lakes scattered throughout. The hotels were lovely, the restaurant suggestions excellent and our luggage was in our rooms upon arrival. Petr was always reachable and made his way to assist when one of the bikes had a problem. We felt very well taken care of. Our bike routes were easily navigated ( even in the uncharacteristic extreme heat of June 2019). We were blown away by the beauty of South Bohemia, the congenial people, and the delicious food - not to mention the fantastic beer! We wholeheartedly recommend Czech Bike Tours for an unforgettable holiday!

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
The lake and pond district between JH and Trebon, the riding through the forest between Trebon and Cesky Bodeovice and the castle at Cesky Bodeovice. Actually, the whole trip was fantastic! Great route, well planned to be off the main roads and on scenic byways. Thanks so much, Petr!
What do You think we could do better?
All was perfect, and yes, I would definitely recommend to friends, as I would take another tour of Petr's (Czech Bike Tours) in the future
Dear Petr (Czech Bike Tours), Thank you for an absolutely perfect trip. Much appreciation for your willingness to accommodate fewer days due to our time schedule, and your flexibility on rainy days. The organization was great and impossible to get lost. Great maps, phone support and customer service. I'd be happy to recommend this to anyone in the future, as well as using your services. The landscape was not only gorgeous, but the trip went through small towns, backroads and scenic byways, rather than main roads. All was perfect. A huge thanks to you and your team!

Riding into Cesky Krumlov under the castle bridge was a beautiful sight. Our hotel stay in the center of the old town was certainly memorable.
We had a very good experience and were very impressed with Czech Bike Tours. The hotels and all other aspects of the trip were excellent. Thank you again, Petr and Ondrej for your extra efforts to make our trip enjoyable in spite of the very cool and rainy weather.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
There were so many highlights it is tough to pick one. The route was easy to follow and lead through some beautiful countryside, the hotels were great and were located in the middle of the places we wanted to see, the staff was very friendly and helpful, and the suggestions of where to eat were bang on. The staff gave us many suggestions of places off the beaten trail of where to go for food and beer which were also great.
What do You think we could do better?
The town of Dolní Vltavice is pretty small and if you are there in weather that isn't appropriate for the beach it can be a little quite. However, in the summer it would be a great place to be.
We were on the self guided trip (four of us) and had no problems. We put together a short YouTube of our trip if you want to see how much fun we had. Here is the link, you might have to cut and paste it into your browser. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFfelVC-Jj8

Staying at Relax Hotel 2 nights and exploring the trails around Lake Lipno. Biking back to Cesky Krumlov

Keep doing what you're doing.
Almost all of the pictures were current, but a couple did not correlate. The same was true with the directions, particularly the trails in the Lake Lipno area. We really relied on the cue sheets and the pictures were fabulous - thanks for keeping them up to date! You made it very easy to ride and explore on a self-supported trip!

We had the most fantastic bike tour around south bohemia with Czech Bike Tours! It was incredibly well organised with every little detail attended to. We were even given recommendations of sights to see and restaurants to visit in each place we visited. This was the best way to see the area! Many thanks to Petr, Bob and all the team for an unforgettable trip. We would highly recommend taking a tour with them! And we hope to do another one again soon!

Increase the options for more challenging routes. I liked having that choice on Day 3. Review the restaurant recommendations. One I tried was superb but the other was pretty average.

Dear Petr and his team members Market, Adam, David and Ales, We are a group of 8 people from Turkey and call us EatDrinkCycle team. We made 7 similar trips, got the same service in different countries. But the experience we had with your company and people was exceptional and the best so far. The country is beautiful, the tracks are fantastic, the bikes are new and appropriate. The communication was excellent and the smiles on the faces are the most valuable thing one can have. Hotel choices were nice, the service was superb. Everything went so smooth and we enjoyed all, our unforgettable trip in Czechia. Thanks everybody. Hope to meet you again in the future.

seeing so much of the city in three hours!
Roman was an incredible tour guide; his fluency in English was impressive! The stops at the places we could buy beer were fantastic! The bikes were in excellent condition and easy to navigate. The instructions by Roman were perfect and only one person got lost ( Sam who disappeared... and eventually showed up at the bike shop ). the number of people on the E-bike tour was perfect - any more and it would have been too much, so that worked out great. We really appreciated the pictures that were emailed to us too.

Hi Czech Bike Tour, I am a member of Eat&Drink&Cycle team from Istanbul/Turkey. First of all thank you to your services through our visit in Czechia. Very welcoming team with great knowledge and hospitality. The bikes and all the other equipments were first class. As a navigator of the team the gps was working perfect. So with your support we had an amazing trip in Czechia.. We highly recommend Czech Bike Tours to the new comers. Thank you.. Kind Regards Murathan KURAL

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
It is so hard to pick just one! We loved every minute of our Prague to Vienna Odyssey. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. It was a pleasure getting to know them. The wonderful picnic lunches were an unexpected and very welcome surprise. All the routes, were varied, and fun, so I felt we got a good taste of your beautiful country. I loved riding through the forests and countryside, through villages, and along lakes and the Danube. The e-bikes were very helpful to me. We dont have hills in Florida, US! Everyday held something special. The various hotels were fun, and the dinners were fabulous! Cesky Krumlov was probably my favorite, if I had to choose just one.
What do You think we could do better?
You did such a great job, it is hard to think of anything. Possibly confirm, at time of balance due if your clients wanted any extras, like e-bikes. At the start of the guided tours it might be a good idea if all the riders put the guides cell phone numbers in their phones, in case anyone goes astray. It would be nice to offer an option of purchasing a Czech Bike Tours jersey. (If you get them in, please let me know!)
We had such a fabulous time, we have already recommended your company to some of our friends. You are great ambassadors for your beautiful country. This was the vacation, against which all future ones will be measured! Thank You again for providing us with such a memorable trip. Bernie & John Mayer

This trip exceeded my expectations on all levels. So much fun with excellent guides, support staff & lunches.

First of, no guides, so self guided, The highlight was the full trip, this was so well organized, the maps were great the hotels were wonderful, the Czech people were extremely friendly. We loved our time
What do You think we could do better?
Our mid-day meals were a challange, we really had to look for the Co-Ops to get something to eat, very few restaurants in and between the towns. Would recommend suggests on placed to at least get an apply, or a snack in the towns we went through.
Thank you for pulling this together, your full staff was absolutely the best:):)

We loved everything about the trip, but if we had to choose, it would just be the experience of riding through adorable villages. All the places we went were interesting and beautiful, but the best was seeing how people lived.
What do You think we could do better?
We would have loved more opportunities to interact with Czech people and would have gladly traded more touristy experiences for that.
We did the Prague-Vienna Odyssey, which provided a great variety of terrain, a perfect physical challenge to make us feel we had earned our meals, and a wonderful collection of towns, monasteries, castles, farms and other sights. Courtney was an amazing guide, sensitive to our needs, informed about all the places we went, and a highly entertaining storyteller. We loved getting to know some of rest of the CBT crew too--Adam, Bobes, Teresa and Petr were all delightful. We were so pampered on this trip, with tuned up bikes every day, beautiful picnics, great hotels, nice dinners and everything else we could possibly need taken care of. Amazing trip that exceeded our wildest expectations!

It's hard to single out a highlight, there were so many. We loved the backcountry roads, the multiple UNESCO towns, and Petr's great service. Everywhere we stayed, the staff was friendly and helpful. The accomidations and food at the hltel Vinice Hnanice were especially nice.
What do You think we could do better?
The trip computers were a great addition to the maps. Really helped us stay on track. However, if you programed "routs" verses "tracks" the computer would be even more hlpful
Great trip. The only thing I would change is one less day in Mikolov and one more day in one more day in Telc. Thanks for the great personal service.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
It's hard to pick just one part - it was all fantastic! Each of the towns we rode through were spectacular and the scenery on the way was stunning! I think Slavonice was our favourite place - the hotel was so great! We also really enjoyed Hotel Ryzlink in Mikulov - that was beautiful!
What do You think we could do better?
It would have been useful to have some lubricant in the repair kit - we had some issues with the gears on one of the bikes and we could not find a bike store that was open to get it fixed. A list of bike store locations would be helpful. The hotel in Trebon was the only disappointment -other than that the rest were of a very high standard. It would be good to make sure the guidebook and the GPS are matching - on day 2 the ride was about 15km longer than what was written in the book.
Our Mikulov-Cesky Krumlov tour was fantastic! It was the highlight of my time in Europe. Petr and his team are experts, I am so glad we chose his company, the whole experience was perfectly planned and so well organised. We did a self-directed tour, just 2 of us, so we were a little nervous about getting lost but the GPS, the maps and the guidebook kept us on the right path. The pace of the tour was perfect - a good balance of distance and difficulty across the 7 days. Each town we stayed in was spectacular and the scenery along the way was stunning, through vineyards and villages, passed castles, historic ruins, and through the national park. The hotels were so lovely and it was nice to arrive each day to find our luggage already delivered. This tour took us to parts of the Czech Republic we would not have otherwise seen. I cannot recommend it highly enough. It was a brilliant experience!

the first day was not as we expected. The road was narrow, with fast traffic. Drivers were courteous and considerate, but it was still a little scary
It was very helpful to have the combination of maps, cue sheet, and GPS. I felt supported and cared about. Issues (including user error with the GPS) were addressed in a timely manner. It was a professionally run tour. I would ride with them again.

From the moment Petr collected us from our Prague hotel, we felt we were being looked after. We enjoyed our independent cycling yet we felt fully supported with maps, GPS, detailed description of the route and the Company's mobile phone to provide support if needed. Our bikes were great, the route was beautiful. I enjoyed my electric bike enormously. Our rafting trip at Cesky Krumlov topped of a wonderful holiday. Huge thanks to the team for our Czech Bike Tour cycling experience.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
Surprisingly beautifully maintained and near empty bike trails.
What do You think we could do better?
Update the guide books with a bit more description about the third day - arriving into Chesky Krumlov.
A fantastic way to experience a taste of South Bohemia. This was our first self guided bike tour and we loved it. The E-bike option was great as it helped me keep up with my much fitter husband and even he said he could have enjoyed a little E-bike on the 3rd day. Superbly organized and lovely comfortable hotels organized. We wished we had arranged an extra night in Chesky Krumlov as it was a big surprise for us. We want to come back and do it again.

What was the highlight of the trip for You?
Cycling through fields and forests on tranquil tracks, picking roadside cherries and looking forward to the next wonderful beer!
What do You think we could do better?
The trip was so good it's hard to suggest improvements. If we did it again, we'd probably choose to have a break from cycling and spend an extra day sightseeing in Jindřichův Hradec or Třeboň.
Petr, thank you so much for designing such an excellent holiday and with so much attention to detail. The navigation could not have been easier, with the combination of satnav and map making it simple to overcome unexpected obstacles like roadworks! The routes were brilliant, taking us through beautiful and peaceful countryside with a good mixture of tarmac and rougher tracks. The hotels were all interesting in different ways and some of the recommended restaurants were truly outstanding.
Dear Peter, Bobes and CBT Staff,
Fred and I want to thank you again for our super Greenway II -Mikulov-Telc-Cesky Krumlov Tour that we took with you September 14-22, 2016 along with
our friends Julane and Art Anderson. We learned so much about the Czech Republic on this trip and were so surprised to discover what a bike friendly
country we were in.
I also wrote to Biketours.com and told them that we appreciated how well run your tour was, the interesting places that we went and how much we
appreciated all the pre-tour and tour information that you gave us. I would have posted a 5-star review on their web site except that their
marketing department had currently removed this tour from their web site. (I told them to put it back in).
We did find the tour somewhat more difficult than we expected, especially day 4 where we biked from Hnanice to Vranov nad Dyji. The steep, gravel
grades were hard for us and we had to walk up quite often. Fred and I had to walk down, too, on some of them as we were quite concerned about
falling (Fred was 80 and I was 73 at the time). The scenery in the National Park was really wonderful so walking was not a burden - but did slow us
down. Since we had quite a few hills, we did not bike out to Novy Hradec nor did we go beyond the Iron Curtain exhibit on the route to Hardegg - we
just did not have the strength or time to do more steep grades.
I also want to mention one more difficult grade on Day 6 from Telc to Jindrichuv. Shortly after Mrakotin when we were in the forest on Rt. 1113 we
were directed to stay on old 1113 and turn left. After a couple of kilometers, we crossed the creek and were to turn right to stay on old 1113.
There was no sign at this intersection and the faint trail up the hill looked like it was no longer used. We hesitated at first but then we pushed
our bikes up quite a way following what looked like an animal track not a trail before we finally joined a farm lane and then the road which led us
into the little town of Svetla. Thank you for giving us maps as well as the GPS and cue sheet booklet. The map was clear that this was the correct
way even though the GPS was lost and the trail did not look promising.
My other comment is that the photos in the booklet were not particularly useful as they were not located next to the specific directions so you had
to take the booklet out of the map holder and turn to a different page to see the photo. You could eliminate the photos - but still include the
wonderful maps. Another possible hint. Since you emailed us the booklets before the tour, I had printed out all of the cue sheets and then cut and
pasted the sections together for each day's ride. That way we each had a single long page for each day that we could use without having to turn
pages. It is a hint that you could give other riders.
Once again, many thanks for a great tour. We certainly will spread the work that you company has wonderful tours.
After we reached Prague, we had booked a second tour Prague to Dresden with AVEtravel. Although we enjoyed this tour along the Vlatava and Elbe
Rivers, AVE did not give us an orientation, only a little pre-tour information and a less useful GPS showing only a track line without the
surrounding details of rivers, roads, rail lines, etc.
Thanks again
Dear Czech Bike Tours,
I booked a self-guided tour at the end of June, and wanted to say what a fantastic time I had. Your organisation and service (at very short notice)
was outstanding. The hospitality, scenery and natural beauty of your country makes it a great destination for cycling and I am looking forward to
visiting again at some stage. I have been recommending your company (and country) to all of my friends.
Thanks again for a fabulous holiday.
Regards,
Paula
Hi Petr,
Now that we are home in Canada and recovered from our jet lag, I wanted to thank you for such a fantastic experience on our 8 day bike tour. The
tour and the Czech Republic exceeded our expectations. Everyone loved every minute and detail of the tour…except for the lost bike shoe day!
Best regards
Anne West
Hi Petr
Just a wee note to say a very big thank you to Bobesh, Jana and yourself for providing such a truly wonderful and memorable 4 day cycling break in
South Bohemia.
The whole adventure was a great experience and we were so fortunate with the weather. There is no question that when you are getting that little
bit older in life the joy and advantages provided by an electric bike make a substantial difference. As hills approach, a simple and rapid move up
the gears really does do the trick!
You planned everything right down to the very last detail. Bobesh sent me a text and phoned our hotel in Prague (we would thoroughly recommend The
Grandior) to say that due to an unfortunate road accident leading to a large pile up of traffic, he would be arriving over half an hour later than
the scheduled pick-up time. As it happened, it turned out to our enormous advantage for us, as it rained all the way on the journey south to
Jindrichuv Hradec. No sooner, had we been introduced to the electric bikes (an excellent czech make) than the skies brightened and the sun came out!
Your route guide was first class - even though we misread it on a couple of occasions and put another 20 or so kilometres on to our route. The first
day's ride through the forest and small lakes was most enjoyable and we were surprised at the excellence of the surface of the paths and minor
roads.
The hotels were all welcoming and provided safe and locked accommodation for the bikes and your recommendations of restaurants proved a really good
choice.
The trip on the Vitava River by raft was an extra bonus and along with the visit to the castle enabled us to soak up the atmosphere of Cesky Krumlov
which certainly deserves its UNESCO Heritage status.
Your organisation is second to none and we would have no hesitation in recommending Czech Bike Tours to others looking for a short or longer holiday
in a very beautiful part of Europe. As your slogan rightly says this is trouble-free cycling.
Please pass on our sincere thanks to every member of the team.
With every good wish
Bill Hamilton
I have left the phone at the front desk in an envelope with your name and Adam's name as well as the name of your company written on the outside of
the envelope.Thank you again - the root and the bikes were great. My wife loved the hotel in Krumlov.

Petr
We hope the biking season has continued well for you, & your team. On behalf of all the Kiwis we brought with us, a big thanks to you & all the
team. We all had a wonderful time (even Simon with his bump on the head). We are telling others of what fun we had, and you should get more requests
from NZ for next summer.
One last request: I have been wearing my Czech Bike Tours white tee-shirt with pride, but unfortunately hotel staff took it recently when I was in
Auckland (we hope by mistake), and it is now lost: Could we ever get you to post another (XL), to us, & if so, what would be the cost?
Many thanks & all the best
Regards, Robert Dobson & Dinah
Hi Petr
Jenny and I are now back home and trying to adjust to temperatures 20 degrees below Central Europe.
We were very pleased with the Czech Bike Tours organisation. The itinerary suited our needs. The efficiency of you and your team was impressive
and we would recommend you to any one interested in a bike tour in Central Europe.
Thank you.
Best regards
Don Mather
Petr,
We've had a great holiday, we've loved the towns and countryside and the accommodation has been superb - many thanks for looking after us so
well.
Best wishes,
Eryl & Fred
Hello Petr,
A few weeks have already passed since we came back to our country and began our routine again.
It's hard to do everything as if nothing had happened. And the truth is that our Bike- experience in Bohemia was something very very special.
We keep on looking at the pictures just to remember each place we visited.
Mariana and I want to thank you a lot for all the organization.
Everything was perfect. All that was written in the website was exactly in the reality.
The towns and the hotels chosen for the tour were excellent.
All your help, maps and bicycles were also very good.
We could enjoy such tour because you planned everything OK.
We would like to thank you again for such nice experience and hopefully we can visit you again.
We would like that you can paste this in your web site just to help people choose you.
We will recommend you with great pleasure.
Thanks a lot for letting us know a little of Bohemia in such a wonderful way
The best for you and your family
Mariana and Marcelo from Argentina
Hi Peter and Adam
Just a quick note to say thank you for the wonderful organisation of our bike ride. Our group, organised by Sue Dawes, thoroughly enjoyed exploring the countryside and beautiful villages. A highlight was our rafting ride which was so much fun.
Hope all is well Cesky and we have some amazing memories from our visit.
Kind regards
Debbie and Graham West-McInnes
Petr
We have had a wonderful trip. Thank you for your fantastic organisation. Adam was so good to us d offered wonderful service. You are very lucky to have him as an employee.
Regards Susan
Petr,
We are having a wonderful time on the bike tour. We can not believe there are so many bike paths just for bicycles. Everything has gone very smoothly and the instructions in the guide have been excellent.
Whatever is best for you.
Bruce, Laraine and Colin.
Dear Petr,
I would like to thank you and your family for the hospitality provided while we were in the Czech Republic. We had a very enjoyable cycling vacation. We really appreciated the lovely countryside, towns and villages we cycled through but what made it so successful was the professional organisation and service provided by you and your family. We will certainly recommend your services to our friends.
Regards

Hi Petr, Courtney and Jana,
Well we are finally back in Brisbane Australia and reflecting on our trip through Europe. We both agree that our bike trip across South Moravia and South Bohemia with Czech Bike Tours was definitely the highlight. Courtney and Jana were just the best guide and support crew ever. Courtney was a wonderful guide and Jana the perfect host. (Lunches and dinners were awesome thank you). The countryside, villages and towns were stunning and the views from the top of the hills well worth the sometimes challenging climbs but we always made it..! Thank you again for making our bike tour in Czech Republic the best...We will be back ......
Denise and Simon, Brisbane Australia , 21st August 2013
Hello Petr,
We are back home in Australia and trying to adjust to the cooler temperatures of our winter! Our friends ask us what was the highlight of our trip and we both say – the bike riding in Czech!
We would like to thank you and your staff for making it so enjoyable for us – the organisation, support, helpfulness and friendliness. It was great having Courtney with us on the ride – please thank him so much for looking after us so well. We have already recommended Czech Bike Tours to two lots of friends who are planning trips to Europe! Jill is still processing photos but we are looking forward to re-living our great experience.
Thank you again for helping to make our Czech experience so wonderful.
Regards,
Rod and Jill Bartlett, July 2012
Dear Petr and Adam,
Many thanks for a wonderful holiday/bike tour in Southern Bohemia. We cycled through beautiful countryside with forests and fishponds, and the towns we stayed at were absolute gems especially Cesky Krumlov with its winding river and magnificent castle.
Czech Bike Tours provided a great service from start to finish, always helpful and accommodating. Nothing was too much trouble for Adam and the team.
Many thanks once again.
Yours sincerely,
Patrick and Elaine Lambert, August 2011
Some reflections on cycling in Southern Bohemia
We have just returned from our third annual cycling holiday in the Czech Republic with Czech Bike Tours
Our base was the beautiful UNESCO heritage city of Cesky Krumlov - architecturally stunning and rich in history and culture.
Krumlov is in the heart of Southern Bohemia where nature, landscape, location, history, and an amazing network of cycle routes and tracks combine to create a cycling paradise.
Southern Bohemia is an enchanting region - a land of forests and mountains, lakes and rivers, castles and villages. Here is natural beauty in abundance and a proliferation of places and features of interest which cast a powerful spell on the visitor.
As on previous visits the trip was organised by Czech Bike Tours (CBT) - the cycling arm of Vltava Sports Service based in the centre of Krumlov on the banks of the Vltava river. CBT provide a truly commendable and comprehensive service for the cyclist. All the gear you want (from bikes and panniers to helmets and tyre leavers), all the routes you can ride (from single day routes to extended tours - fully guided or self guided), all the advice you need (where to go, what to see, weather reports and track conditions), all your transport requirements (to your departure point and from your destination location) and accommodation are available. Staff at CBT have the local knowledge, experience and expertise to guarantee the visitor a quality experience in a remarkable environment which offers a lifetime of cycling highlights to suit all tastes and abilities. CBT provide a total package for cyclists wrapped up in a friendly and caring service of the highest quality. The result is excellent value for money and a delightful experience. Whether you are a novice cyclist or experienced rider, whether you prefer day routes from your hotel base or cycle touring (e.g. The Vienna to Prague Greenway ) CBT will cater for your needs and give you a holiday to remember.
For us, cycling in Southern Bohemia has been a life changing and life enhancing experience. We are indebted to Petr, Jana, Adam and the team at CBT for helping us to discover some of the treasures of this magical and mysterious area. The richness and diversity we have enjoyed is the result of their support and guidance. There are gems a plenty - the icing cake chateaux at Hluboka, majestic Lake Lipno, Klet Mountain complete with summit bar and restaurant, the one time East/West border, the Schwarzenberg channel, the picturesque agricultural village of Holasovice, the noble Vltava and superlative Sumava Forest - to mention just a few.
Cycle routes are well signed and an extensive network of excellent dedicated cycle tracks and quite byways gives easy access to the entire region. UK visitors will be astonished and envious at the extent and quality of this network.
As we travelled home to the UK at the end of our latest visit we were already planning our next cycling holiday with CBT. We will return to Krumlov and Southern Bohemia but also want to explore Moravia and another region. We know that with CBT we are in good hands and can look forward to another great holiday in the Czech Republic.
Lynne and Greg Gilbert, Holmfirth (UK), August 2010
Dear Petr,
We wanted to tell you again how much we enjoyed our cycling holiday in South Bohemia. It was a real pleasure to discover the different landscapes and the beautiful towns and villages which we cycled through.
But it was especially thanks to the excellent organisation on your part that the holiday was such a success. Right from the beginning we felt that we were in good hands with everything well planned and taken care of. Adam was outstanding in the service he provided - very efficient, extremely friendly and informative, always wanting to help. He is really a great guy!
We appreciated very much too the extras - the rafting and kick-biking, and the sailing. For Rafe especially these were the bonus elements which made it a great holiday.
Thanks again

The bike tour was great!
I was a little nervous signing up, but then realized that Paypal provided some protection. I signed up for a guided tour because it was my first bike trip in Europe and because I hoped to be part of a group. Although the others in the group canceled I was offered a personal guided tour without paying the small tour fee!
Adam, (my guide), Petr and the rest of the Czech Bike Tours staff provided service that was incredible. They dealt with Czech Airlines to get my delayed luggage to me in South Bohemia a day earlier than I would have been able to myself. They were able to extend my stay in Cesky Krumlov by re-booking my transport to Prague and booking a hotel. A chain issue on my bicycle was repaired so I could finish the day and a replacement bike was delivered to the hotel the next morning.
The route of the tour provided an interesting cross section of the country side. The panoramic views from Sv. Tomas tower, Klet, and elsewhere were breahtaking and totally beyond the ability of a camera to capture (although I tried anyway). The rafting/canoeing on the Vltava River added yet another experience.
