We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
Lovely scenery, especially lakes and mountains, viewed without a great deal of effort in this very cycle-friendly country. The towns and villages were delightful and the different styles of accommodation added extra interest.
The scenery is beautiful and makes for an impressive ride, regardless of the weather.
This was our fourth cycle holiday with Inntravel and certainly one of the best. The cycles were great quality. The trip was classed as grade 1/2 and the cycling tracks were very good. My husband had a normal bike as he’s a keen cyclist and I opted for an electric cycle for the first time ever. What joy I had on the hills as I whizzed past my husband at the touch of a button. It made such a difference and I didn’t dread the hills! The scenery was wonderful. It took your breath away. I kept expecting to see Julie Andrews popping up over the hills. The cows all wore bells so there was much jingling en route too! There was so much to see. A great mix of towns, castles and interesting routes around lakes and through forests. The hotels were excellent. We’d upgraded to the Hirsch in Füssen and the food was excellent. Ended up eating there 3 nights but it felt like we were in different places as we ate in different restaurants and also outside in the beer garden. The Park Hotel is located in a lovely place with dinner taken outside overlooking the lake both nights and there was a lovely fireworks display one night too. Enjoyed the indoor pool at the Park Hotel too. Loved the brewery in Murnau too. Great atmosphere. I'd highly recommend this trip, even for guys who are worried about their fitness. Just grab an electric bike and you’ll get on just fine. The scenery is amazing. You’ll love it!

The routes were fabulous -with spectacular views. The recommendations for places to visit and eat also very good. We didn’t take the train on the last day of cycling but cycled all the way -a fabulous fit strenuous day ! The hotels,in particular Park Hotel, were great - the wellness centre was very relaxing after a days cycling and the food was amazing.
We really enjoyed our cycling tour of Bavaria. The mountain scenery and little pastoral villages with delightful houses with flower-filled window boxes and glorious roses was a joy. Exploring lively Füssen, relaxing in Bayersoien, and using Murnau as a base for exploring Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the Zugspitze and Oberammergau provided a varied itinerary. We also enjoyed Munich tremendously. The Hotel Torbräu is excellent, located in the heart of a wonderful vibrant city.
An excellent, varied terrain journey with breathtaking scenery.
Amazing scenery and delightful villages. Stunning mountains in the background. Helped by great weather albeit rather hot (over 30 every day). Swimming in lakes helped to cool us down.
I would recommend taking the Tegelbergbahn cable car. It's not much of a diversion from the route, the views from the top are amazing and there are fabulous restaurants, not to mention watching the paragliders run off the side of the mountain!
A good if experimental trip for us. The e-bikes worked very well on all of the tracks. I was not impressed by Inntravel declining to book an hotel for us on our arrival at Munich because their ONLY recommended one was full. I had to spend a lot of time researching another one. It was good, if not a bit expensive.
The weather helped a lot as it was mostly fine and it was great to breathe so really fresh air. Even though 40km seemed a lot we covered the distances easily and got to where we wanted to be in good time.
The Füssen and Murnau hotels were really good and in different ways. Most welcoming and comfortable.
The German people were so kind an helpful. I haven't been to Germany for many years and I had forgotten just how pleasant it all is. Munich is a must stop-over city. Such a wonderful history.
We're sorry that we were unable to arrange accommodation in Munich. We only book hotels with whom we have a working relationship, which includes having visited them ourselves, and having a contract in place. In addition, many city hotels do not work with tour operators, or do not provide fixed rates that we are then able to advertise.
Highlights: Beautiful scenery on all routes and most interesting visits to the Münterhaus and Schloss Museum in Murnau. We also enjoyed a boat trip on Staffelsee.
Pay attention when making a stop near fields as there are many electric fences.
Visiting Neuschwanstein: Booking online is a fiddle because you have to book two days in advance and then pick up the tickets no later than 1.5 hours before your scheduled visiting time, which in our case was not the time we had asked for. A better way might be to just turn up at the ticket office and with luck you should be able to get in almost straight away.
We loved this holiday. The dramatic mountain scenery coupled with some fantastic lake swimming was a perfect balance so although it was a very hot ride this summer, there were plenty of opportunities to cool off. The choice of hotels was perfect and a good balance between traditional and modern. This is our third Inntravel cycling holiday and it was probably our best yet.
Another excellent holiday, thankyou. The routes weren't perhaps as exciting as previous years, they were a little bit repetitive and it was a shame that the lake was dry. The electric bikes were easy to use and meant we could keep up with my husband on his ordinary bike! The Altstadt Hotel in Fussen was lovely, the staff warm and welcoming. We cannot recommend the Park Hotel highly enough. It really was a pleasure to stay there, a highlight of the week. In contrast, we were slightly disappointed by the Hotel Griesbaum, in particular one disinterested receptionist who really couldn't be bothered to serve us. When I later asked for the wi-fi code she told me she had already told my husband. Overall, we had a great holiday and now almost take it for granted that you always provide a very professional service.
First holiday/ trip of this type and we were constantly in awe of the stunning surroundings and scenery on this tour, what a great way to see a country/ region. The amount of cycling each day was just about right as it gave a nice focus to the day, whilst not having to be in a rush to start and allowing plenty of time at the end of the day to relax on arriving back or at the next destination. However, do allow more time on Day 1, to fit in the castles tour (essential!) and get back to Fussen for dinner!
A nice blend of included meals and exploring evening meals options ourselves.
We had a wonderful time and will certainly look at other Inntravel cycling trips and one day return to do this one as well.
The best Inntravel cycling holiday we have done, this is our fourth. Wonderful scenery and hotels, electric bikes made such a difference, we are converts!
This is a wonderful holiday, and we enjoyed it enormously - it was our first experience of ebikes and will not be the last! Some of the cross country gravel cycle paths were quite rough, and would have been hard work without the extra power of an ebike. The hotels were generally excellent, but two of them were in noisy towns, making sleeping difficult in hot weather with the windows open. But overall we loved the alpine scenery and the wonderful traffic free routes - we would never have found such variety without the very detailed route instructions provided by Inntravel. We avoided visiting the castles as we were put off by the crowds of tourists, which were a bit of a shock after the peace of the countryside.
