Great American Bike Tours

I have gone on 5 bike tours with Great American Bike Tours, and each one was better than the last. I have taken the West and East halves of the Erie Canal Tour, Le Petit Train du Nord, Cape Cod & Martha's Vineyard, and recently the Ohio to Erie Trail. The support is great, along the trail and in hotels, and I have been able to bring my own bike, a 2 wheel recumbent, which fits on the trailer with the other bikes. Most times I have also used the shuttle to return to my car. Highly recommended!

I joined the Cape Cod-Martha's Vineyard bike tour with this past September 2023. This was my second trip with Great American Bike Tours. My first trip was the Eerie Canal East on September 2022. I've really enjoyed the staff professionalism, attention to details, great routes and cordial atmosphere of both trips. Biking with Great American Bike Tours is a lot of fun, good exercise and a great way to explore the country and meet new friends. I highly recommend them!

My husband and I were so pleased with the Erie Canal ride we took in 2022, we joined Great American Bike tours for their Petit Train du Nord and Champlain Islands tour this year (2023). It did not disappoint! We had a wonderful time from start to finish. As usual, it was meticulously planned down to the smallest detail for our comfort, safety and happiness as the number 1 priority. Our bikes were in great shape every day and we never had a single problem with them. It was great to see Ron and Steve again, and meet Diane in person for the first time. The three of them couldn't do enough for us. The ride was really gorgeous, we did it in late September and Canada was breathtaking. We crossed the border into the US in Vermont and it was delightful to bike the Champlain Islands, the Causeway and ride the 2 minute ferry! We look forward to our next ride with Great American Bike Tours!

My wife and I rode with Great American Bike Tours on their relatively new tour, the Great Lakes Waterfront Trail-- along the St Lawrence River----basically from Montreal to Toronto in late August 2023. We had a blast! The routes were clearly marked, the sag van was always around, and the lodgings were good. While the tour does not exactly mirror the river bank, it was close enough---- via the roads, byways, and occasional greenways, we were entertained with views of the river, plus the incredible farmlands and rural lifestyle of southern Canada. The different towns and villages along the way were perfect for an occasional stop, but we were surprised by the lack of good coffee shops in general, and the food was mostly just average each night in the small towns along the way. Most days averages 40-50 miles and the rented bicycles, guides, and fellow riders were perfect !! We had a great group and we would definitely recommend this trip, as we are veteran bike tourists with different outfitters. This was the first time we had ridden with Great American Bike Tours, and it hopefully won't be the last!

The Great American Bike Tours New Hampshire Covered Bridge Tour, held early October, was simply amazing. It was so much fun getting to know the other participants and share our biking experiences. The tour company could't have been more professional and prepared to make our five days a trip to remember. They arranged wonderful trails to ride, a boat ride, transported all our bikes and gear, the hotels, many meals, and provided lots of snacks and drinks all day long. Each day one of the tour leaders was the trail sweeper to be sure no one got lost or was in trouble and they had check points along the way where the stocked van was ready to provide assistance, snacks and water. They even hosted a few happy hours for us! What a great way to end the day. At the last minute I decided to rent an electric bike from them as I recovered from recent knee surgery. Not only was the bike a dream to ride, the tour leaders made sure to check the battery frequently each day to make sure it was charged (though it never needed a charge the entire trip). I highly recommend taking one of their tours.
