Bodenmeer
8-Daagse Mild

This was the trip of a lifetime! The routes were a gentle weave through medieval villages, larger towns and miles of apple orchards, sunflower fields and fragrant vegetable farms. The Rhine River and Lake Constance were never far. Accommodations were comfortable hotels with excellent service and beautiful grounds, walkable to restaurants and shops. So much fun! We can’t wait to plan our next trip

The trip was amazing. The communication was great. We had a slight hiccup with not being given helmets at the start but Tom organized a pickup the next day. The luggage transfer was efficient- couldn’t have done it without the option! The accommodation was good and got even better each night!! The bike track was good and varied scenery each day. Even had warnings of a predicted thunderstorm one day with options if using a train – made it just before the rain!!! Highly recommend to anyone. Should have brought gel seats though😜. Also. Recommend Bodensee Therme at Überlingen after a hard days ride!!

Very good trip. Good communication when needed. Only criticism is lodging in Hard Austria, nice but staff ill equipped. Also, could be in a better location as not really near much. Bike supplier Kultur Radke was fabulous. Will use Rooster again when appropriate route may be available(Mosele Valley?)

We had a great time! The bikes were a bit old, but fine for the job.
We are glad to have tried a bike tour and will definitely do another!

We had a grand trip on the Seven Day Challenging ride in the Lake Constance area. Beautiful way to see the area. Detailed digital itinerary was great. We found the tour more challenging mentally than physically due to our difficulties with the navigation system. Good and timely support from Tom; smooth luggage transfer; lovely evening accommodations. We are road cyclists and found the e-bikes a bit cumbersome but suited for the route. We would certainly recommend Rooster for supported cycling tours.

We had a fantastic holiday! The trip was so well organised and the accommodation was excellent. Lake Konstanz is a beautiful area for an active family holiday. Tom at Rooster Bike Tours did a great job organising our trip and everything went very smoothly – bike hire, route maps, daily transfer of luggage and accommodation.
Lake Konstanz and the Rheinfall areas were magical – we had fantastic weather and got to experience the amazing scenery of the lake, river, mountains and lake towns (in particular the Altstadts) to its full potential. Would highly recommend this holiday and Rooster Bike Tours as your holiday partner. The only thing I might change if I did the trip again would be to swap the push bike for an electric bike!!

First off, let me say Rooster did a great job communicating, and delivering the service that we expected. The less than 5 stars is not a reflection of their service – it was great. Our luggage transfer was seamless.
We had a 5 night stay in which 3 nights were in Konstanz, 1 in Lindau, and 1 in Schaffhausen. Konstanz, was our groups least favourite city, and the hotel we stayed in in Konstanz, was the least favourite hotel of the 3 in our stay. Consequently, returning there was always a little bit of a letdown. I suppose that could be a personal preference, but it was the consensus of the 6 people in our group.
Also, we found the Bodensee area in general a little on the busy side. Without a doubt, there are lots of beautiful sites, great food, the routing provided by Rooster was clear, and much of it on dedicated bike paths. We would travel with Rooster again, but for our group, we would probably look for a quieter area.

Went with our elementary-age child and had a blast. If we were to do it again, I would have added an extra night in 1-2 cities, especially in the hotel with the spa!

Excellent breakfasts every hotel!

We biked during a heat wave and adjusted by jumping in the lake 2x a day and adding gelato stops. Hotels were family friendly, but I would say most people biking were retirees or vacationers. Not many people under the age of 24 biking on the path except for when we arrived in towns. That said- Our little one found plenty of friends to play with at the beaches and playgrounds.

I would do this again! Rooster company was well respected and coordinated.

Our tour of Lake Constanz with Rooster was one of the best I have done. The mapping was very easy to follow and the hotel picks were over the top.i would highly recommend Rooster for biking tours and cant wait to do another one myself

Everything met or exceeded expectations. Great accommodations, well thought out itinerary and routes. Good communciation.
I honestly can’t think of anything that could’ve been better planned.

We were very impressed with the cycling trip around Lake Constance that Tom organized for us.The package he sent ahead of time was very comprehensive.We loved the cycling routes he chose and there was always great suggestions of interesting sites to see along the way.The hotels were lovely, scenery was amazing and the luggage transfer went smoothly.We highly recommend Rooster bike tours and hope to book another one in the future.

We had a fabulous time cycling around Lake Konstanz. Rooster Bike Tours and in particular Tom was great. Nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend

Excellent experience from start to finish. While this is a popular area and many companies run similar tours, I chose Rooster because of the personal responsiveness of the owner, Tom. Others have mentioned this and it is true. From discussions beforehand about the route, to real time help with a small bike problem during, and follow up afterwards, Tom is simply outstanding. The tour is lovely – great scenery, easy navigation with the app they use, good quality ebike and lovely hotels. Even though the towns were busy, at least at the start of June, the route was quiet and hugely enjoyable with some interesting places to visit along the way. . All in all, brilliant.

despite having some navigation issues we thoroughly enjoyed our ride around Lake Constanz and to the Rhine Falls. Tom was always fully available to sort out any issues in the best of ways. The towns we had for overnight stays were excellent as were the hotels, plus Tom’s recommendations for eating out. Well done Tom.

Wow! What an amazing experience!! We just completed our first ever 7-day bicycle journey around Lake Constance organized by Rooster Bike Tours and highly recommend both the tour and the company. Tom at Rooster is a real rock star who answered all our questions promptly, shared well-considered pointers, and helped accommodate our requests along the way. Ralf at the Kultur Rädle bike rental company in Konstanz also provided excellent service.

We chose the ‘gentle’ approach with just 15-42 km per day to allow for plenty of time to see the sites along the way. Our tour took us through Germany, Austria, and Switzerland with fabulous accommodations in the heart of historic districts, delicious buffet breakfasts, attentive staff, and seamless luggage service.

The downloadable maps provided by Rooster were clear and easy to follow. The lakeshore route was simply breathtaking! Biking at our own pace meant we could hear the birds, smell the spring flowers, stop for a picnic, and feel connected to the rural and city scapes we were visiting. We were incredibly fortunate with the clear skies and perfect biking weather.

This trip has given all of us a lifetime of memories ~ as well as set our sights on future cycling adventures. If Rooster Bike Tours has more tours on offer at our next destination, we would not hesitate to sign up again!!

De communicatie voor en tijdens de reis was uitstekend. Ze hebben een geweldige reis georganiseerd. Alles verliep soepel en was van hoge kwaliteit, - kwaliteitsfietsen, uitstekende route-informatie, mooie hotels op goede locaties en vlotte bagagetransfers. Het padennetwerk rond het Bodenmeer is uitstekend en gevarieerd. We waren met drie volwassenen -2 ebikes en een standaard

Roosterbike was uitstekend. De fietsen, shuttles en accommodatie waren allemaal naadloos. Tom was een legende en altijd beschikbaar via WhatsApp voor vragen. Een briljante manier om te fietsen - volledig onafhankelijk, maar alle logistiek geregeld. Bedankt

Zeer aangenaam. Een prachtige manier om een prachtig deel van de wereld te ervaren. Rooster was altijd heel prettig in de omgang en reageerde snel op vragen, zowel voor als tijdens de reis. De verstrekte route-informatie was nauwkeurig en behulpzaam. We aarzelen niet om Rooster aan te bevelen en maken graag weer gebruik van hen.

We hebben een fantastische korte trip gehad en zouden graag op een dag terugkeren om nog meer te doen. Onze e-bikes waren ideaal, de accommodatie was uitzonderlijk. Het landschap was spectaculair en de begeleiding uitstekend. We hebben heerlijk gefietst en de meeste dagen in het meer gezwommen. We waren erg dankbaar voor de extra steun van het Rooster-team, vooral van Tom, die ervoor zorgde dat alles soepel verliep toen we een paar onverwachte wijzigingen moesten maken. Hij was erg attent. Nogmaals bedankt. We hopen nog eens terug te komen. Caroline en Jon van de Pol Australië

Uitstekend! De hotels, het fietsverhuurbedrijf, de ondersteuning via WhatsApp en de navigatie-app (waar ik even aan moest wennen) waren fantastisch. Ik reisde alleen en zou 1. Rooster Bike Tours en 2. deze tour ten zeerste aanbevelen voor de geschiedenis en het landschap. Deze tour voor de geschiedenis en het landschap. Ik heb maar 2 van de restaurantaanbevelingen geprobeerd omdat er zoveel opties waren, maar de restaurants die ik heb geprobeerd waren authentiek, hoewel ze niet gewend waren aan vrouwelijke soloreizigers. Laten we gaan fietsen! Ik voelde me de hele tijd veilig.

We hebben een supertijd gehad op deze reis van 20 mei tot 24 mei met Rooster Bike Tours. Vanaf het moment dat we onze boeking afrondden, was Tom altijd beschikbaar op WhatApp voor vragen/verduidelijkingen etc. - zowel voordat we Ierland verlieten als toen we aan het meer waren. Hij zorgde voor een uitstekend informatiepakket met goede restaurants, van goedkopere tot duurdere. Alle vooraf geboekte hotels waren van topklasse. De bagage werd elke dag naadloos overgebracht. We hebben op veel vakanties fietsen gehuurd, maar de fietsen van Kultur-Radle in Konstanz (als onderdeel van onze Rooster Bike Tour boeking) waren van topklasse met waterbestendige tassen. We hadden waarschijnlijk een 8-daagse reis moeten boeken omdat we nog een paar dagen op de fiets konden, maar we hebben fietsen gehuurd bij de Rijnwaterval (op eigen gelegenheid) na de Rooster tour. Al met al zouden we Rooster Bike Tours van harte aanbevelen voor deze prachtige vakantie - wacht niet! Het is elke cent waard! Bedankt Tom & iedereen bij Rooster. We nemen snel weer contact op voor onze volgende tocht! Claire & Iggy

We vonden het heerlijk om over het meer te fietsen op e-bikes. Accommodatie en mensen waren fantastisch. Zal deze tocht zeker aanraden
