“ A perfect romantic Bike trip with views and wine ”
On the 2024-10-17

Heather
My husband and I are not daily bikers but found the trip very doable and the views and wine spectacular! The small towns were picturesque and the vineyard route was very scenic. The luggage service and app made the daily travel trivial.

Topweek gehad: alles prima verzorgd. Hotels waren prima op de hoogte van onze komst, bagage was telkens netjes aanwezig. De verschillende hotels boden steeds iets anders: luxe, gemoedelijkheid, huiselijkheid of midden in het centrum. Fijn afwisselend! De app werkte fantastisch; pikte steeds op waar we waren en wees ons prima en zonder problemen de weg. De huurfiets was top. Was voor ons de eerste keer met Velo Voyageur maar dit smaakt naar meer!

Séjour pour 2 personnes avec location de VAE.
L'alsace est une région idéale pour une découverte à vélo et l'itinéraire proposé par vélo voyageur est parfaitement équilibré avec des parcours variés entre vignobles, villes et villages permettant de prendre son temps pour visiter et profiter.
Les VAE sont de très bonnes qualité, de même que prestations annexes (hôtellerie, repas et transport des bagages).
Bref, que du bonheur ces quelques jours, plein de souvenirs et envie d'y revenir !

Tres agréable circuit de 4 jours sur la route des vins en Alsace. Le parcours est tres chouette avec de jolis villages et belles étapes à midi pour manger. On l'a fait en vélo electrique pour plus de confort car il y quand meme des bonnes dénivelés.
C'etait super et très originales comme vacances, surtout en automne. Le service 'Vélo voyageur' est parfait, tres bonne organisation et le parcours bien fait, 3/4 heures de vélo par jours, c'est la bonne moyenne. Les vélos de très bonnes qualités.
Bravo à toute l'equipe, à refaire dans d'autres régions.

Aucun regret!
Parcours clair et complet avec précisions sur travaux en cours.
beaucoup d'indications sur des lieux à visiter, des pauses, et sur les terroirs à déguster...Nous sommes alsaciens et voulions faire la route des vins depuis longtemps. L'assistance électrique nous a permis de faire ce voyage, et nous sommes ravis!
Nous avons pris la demi pension et avons trouvé que c'était un vrai luxe.
Les vélos sont de qualité et le circuit dépaysant et facile grâce à l'aide électrique et au gps.
Nous avons hâte de recommencer !

Très belle organisation et très beau parcours. Nous sommes des cyclistes randonneurs néophytes. Nous avons loué des vélos électriques. Au début il a fallu s'habituer au poids du vélo chargé, ce qui se fait très rapidement. Tout s'est très bien passé. L'application est parfaite, le parcours superbe et les hôtels très agréables et conviviaux.
C'est une belle expérience que je recommande à tous. Et nous avons très envie de repartir.

Superbe itinéraire à vélo entre Strasbourg et Colmar : très bonne organisation de vélo voyageurs. Les bagages étaient transportés d'hôtel en hôtel, le vélos étaient de bonne qualité et les hôtels très biens. Le parcours passe par de magnifiques villages, ainsi qu'au milieu des vignobles. Je recommande vivement.

Nous étions 3 amis partis pour faire un court séjour en Alsace à vélo de 4 jours en Strasbourg et Colmar.
La route à travers les vignobles dorés à cette saison et les villages alsaciens était superbe, le temps était idéal.
L'organisation du Vélo Voyageur était impeccable, Sarah nous a beaucoup aidé et répondu à nos questions.
Merci encore !

What a joy, From the tranquility of the canal, the cute villages, the sweeping vineyards, the great food and fine wines.Obernai is a gem and the Hotel Gouvernor is perfect. We cycled up to the castle at Haute Koonigsbourg, from where the vistas were stunning, but to visit the castle you need to book online the previous day ( we did not ). Ribeauville and Riquewir are truly beautiful with super cellars to visit and helpful tasting staff. Who would have thought it would have been so wonderful spending time in a fantastic place called Barr :).
Thanks to LVV for running this trip - chapeau.

“ Loved Alsace wine region tour ”
On the 2019-11-03
by
Philip Boddington
We loved our bike tour through the wine region of Alsace. The countryside is beautiful, the towns and villages charming and the cuisine and wine excellent. The cycling is generally flat and easy and very compatible with enjoying the local cuisine at lunch time. Our wine tour of Domain Dussourt was outstanding. The accommodation arranged for us by velovoyageur was very convenient, comfortable and the hotel staff friendly and helpful. The handbook and gps maps we received are excellent, really informative and helpful. Only hiccup was that the bike supplier forgot our booking and we had to wait the morning in Strasbourg for him to arrive with our bikes. Not a major disaster but an incovenience. He was very apologetic and velovoyageur were straight on to him when I rang them but in future I hope that they will double check the bookings shortly before to avoid such problems.
If you decide to publish my opinion and want some photos then let me know
“ Beautiful trip on quiet side paths ”

The route was well laid out almost only on paved paths with no motorized traffic.
The choice of hotels was nice - cozy local small hotels, with friendly service.
Bikes and luggage transport also worked as it should.
“ Lovely Spring Trip in Alsace ”
On the 2019-04-23
by
Horace
This was our first time doing a cycle tour like this and we had a great time. All of the communication and service from Le Velo Voyageur was very organized and thorough. We were a little nervous going in because so much was out of our hands (from hotels to bike pickup to luggage drop-off), but everything went off without a hitch!
We met our luggage pickup on the first day at exactly the right spot and time, the bikes we picked up from a rental company were brand new and came with all the equipment we needed, and the directions and route were very well-made and easy to follow.
The hotels they selected were all very charming and comfortable, and they seemed very familiar with the Velo Voyageur program, so that when we arrived they were expecting us, had places for us to leave the bikes, and had our luggage waiting.
We also appreciated how carefully thought-out the route was. Most of our riding was on dedicated bike paths that were paved and well-maintained. So we rarely had to worry about dealing with car traffic. The route for Alsace went through a variety of lovely terrain, from small villages to vineyards to canal-side paths. There were a few steep climbs on our route that took some serious effort to get over, but mostly the riding was pretty flat and comfortable.
We took a bit of a gamble going early season in April, and ended up having some wet and cold weather a few of the days. So definitely come prepared with rain gear and a variety of layers that you can adjust to the temperature. In many of the towns we visited, it was definitely clear that the tourist season still hadn't really gotten started -- many of the wineries and cafes were still closed, or very empty. We were more concerned with the cycling, so this didn't really matter for us, but if you do care about these things it might make more sense to go during a busier part of the season.
Overall a great trip, and we hope to have the chance to do another in the future!

Bel itinéraire dans une magnifique région. Découvrir les vignobles de l'intérieur, admirer les paysages de la plaine alsacienne, pédaler le long du canal de la Bruche, prendre le temps d'un sympathique repas dans des restos typiques ou encore flâner dans un village, voilà le programme de 3 journées plus qu'agréables.

Nous avons bénéficié d'un temps idéal pour un séjour magnifique dans une région magique où chaque village est un enchantement, où les pistes cyclables sont nombreuses et parfaitement entretenues. Notre suggestion, organiser un séjour identique de tous les maires de France pour qu'ils s'en inspirent dans leurs propres communes......

Nous avons été enchantés par ces 3 jours passés à parcourir le vignoble alsacien.
La quasi totalité du parcours se fait sur des pistes cyclables bien aménagées, les vélos étaient de bonne qualité et la météo quasi estivale pour ce week-end d'octobre a rendu la découverte encore plus sympathique.
Le descriptif fourni était très clair permettant une autonomie agréable.
Nous recommanderons ce séjour à nos amis
