You'll always go fortified on tour. Breakfast is included in all our individual tours. For dinner, we'll provide you recommendations for good restaurants.
We also organise the transport of your luggage from hotel to hotel! You can sit on your bike totally untroubled.
We'll provide you very exact maps and a detailed description of the routes. Frequently, routes are especially tagged leading to the selected destinations and to the nicest places of interest without any detours.
In addition to our detailed map material, we can also provide you with GPS tracks for our trips. On request, we will send you the GPS tracks free of charge by e-mail. You can save all day tours on your smartphone or GPS device and easily and safely follow the planned day tour.

In the future we will be able to provide all travel documents for our trips with tourist information, maps and GPS-based route guidance as an app for your smartphone. In this way, you always have all the information relating to the individual day tours immediately available. Each sight is explained, special daily tips are stored and each recommended café and restaurant are precisely listed and therefore easy to find. On the digital map you can see exactly where you are and whether you are still on the right path. The app is free to download. After booking, we will be happy to provide you with the digital travel guide for your trip (if already available). You will receive all information about this with the travel documents.
Furthermore, the package includes a lot of indications and information as to the highlights at the roadside: whether it refers to architectural monuments, beauties of nature, or worthwhile museums. Thus, you'll never find closed doors or fail hidden places of interst.
On request, we put bike for rent at your disposal, obtain railway and plane tickets for you prior to travelling, or book additional lodging in one or more of our hundreds of contractual hotels for you. For many individual tours, we offer you the booking of a transfer back to the hotel where your tour started.
We book your rooms at the requested hotel category, give you tips as to suitable clothing and luggage, and help you to organise your arriving and returning journey. We also gladly answer any further questions you may have.
For example, in case of cycle defect or flooding that makes a continuation of your tour impossible: no problem, we also work during weekends and your can reach us 7 days in case of emergency.
On the guided tours you travel with a group of like-minded individuals and can enjoy support and assistance throughout from our on-site tour guides. The tours take place on specified dates. If not stated otherwise in the travel description, the minimum number of participants in group tours is 8. This number must be reached until 4 weeks before the date of departure.

In the evening we always have a table reserved in a restaurant for a meal together. We also see to attend your special wishes. For instance, if you are vegetarian simply let us know on the registration form.
The guide accompanies the group all the time. He knows the routing like the back of his hand, gives you details on places of interest at the roadside and takes your sudden wishes and demands into consideration.
