Since l984, Heart of Europe Bicycle Tours has been combining just the right ingredients needed for a complete exciting two week cycling adventure into Central Europe's most spectacular settings with great hiking opportunities, tours of castles and olive oil factories, cruises on lakes and rivers, concerts and folkloric evenings while learning from the locals about their customs and sampling their cuisine. Meticulous planning, ongoing research and personal attention to details give you the opportunity to enjoy carefree biking in "postcard beauty."

In the selections of our hotels and dining establishments, whether it be a Tyrolean mountain resort or a grand villa overlooking a picturesque lake, they have been carefully chosen for their charm, convenient location, service and outstanding cuisine. Our hotel friends eagerly await the annual arrival of the American cyclists. The chefs take great pride in presenting their traditional local specialties - L'osso bucco de Veau Cremolata and Baba au Rhum or Jaegerbraten in Gulaschsosse and Schokoladepalatschinken, or delicious lake trout, rissotto, soppressa, tortellini Veleggio and tiramisu.

One of the unique features of Heart of Europe Bicycle Tours is the use of our fully equipped luxury motorcoach and custom-built trailer. Should you decide not to ride due to rain or personal preference, you may climb aboard and relax in comfort. Also, it enables the group to cover more of the most scenic bicycling areas of Austria, Italy and Switzerland with a taste of Germany and France.
