Another fantastic well-organised holiday from Inntravel. We waited two years for this and after several Covid delays, this trip was as good as ever. It's a real pleasure to use Inntravel - what a great professional team.
A superb holiday with beautiful unspoilt scenery, stunning villages and excellent e-bikes that made the cycling effortless.
Tips: We found the best way to follow the routes was by using a phone on the handlebars to save keep stopping to look at notes. Most restaurants in Kaysersberg were closed on Monday night, however we found Restaurant Le Kasersberg open and the food was excellent with waterside dining. It is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays though.
Great time of year to go as we saw the grape harvest in full flow, but be prepared for changes in the weather. Fantastic opportunities for wine tasting, and they didn't seem to mind we could buy only 1 or 2 bottles. Local people very helpful and welcoming. Cycling on the little roads in the vineyards with hardly any traffic and views of the Vosges and the Black Forest mountains on the other side was truly idyllic.

We would highly rate Inntravel and the local cycle company in this area for the exceptional help they gave us when we had various problems with our bikes early on in the week and also after my daughter had a cycling accident on the last day which resulted in her being taken to hospital (fortunately it was all fine thanks to her wearing a helmet). On each occasion we rang Inntravel who immediately arranged for the cycle company to come and rescue us. Aside from the various issues mentioned we thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, beautiful villages, the friendly French people and the wines of the Alsace.
This was a great holiday. Everything worked perfectly and the accuracy and design of the routes couldn’t be faulted. It was an idyllic week rolling through sunlit vineyards and stopping at cafes in pretty villages or picnicking by tranquil rivers. A comfortable hotel and a good meal at the end of the day and our luggage delivered - who could ask for more. Particularly loved all the details in the route notes for interesting diversions and historical information. We’re planning our next one!
Overall we loved the Walking Lake Lucerne hiking holiday, and would not hesitate doing another similar holiday.
However, our experience with the Alsace Cycling holiday was not so good, primarily due to being provided with inappropriate bicycles. Also, Bergheim was too quiet a town, with not one restaurant open on the second day of our stay there. We would probably not recommend this holiday unless these issues were addressed.
All arrangements and communications with Inntravel were excellent, and we would be more than happy to use them again in the future.
Thank you for writing a review. We are delighted that you enjoyed your time in Lake Lucerne but are sorry to hear that Alsace was not so successful.
We have received a number of comments about some of the towns and villages in Alsace being particularly quiet in June this year and we are greatly surprised by this; it is usually a pleasantly lively and bustling area throughout the entire Summer season.
With regards to the bikes, please do contact us during your holiday in future if there is a similar problem and we will do our utmost to resolve it. The cycle hire company we work with in Alsace is very quick to respond and usually receives great feedback. We are sure that they would have provided replacement, smaller-sized bikes for you, if they had known that you were struggling with their size.
