Personal assistance
On (almost) all tours you will be greeted personally at the destination and you will receive many valuable and useful tips for your journey. Whether it concerns questions about the route or services such as train tickets or boat trips or other ambiguities, our employees answer questions and answers. In addition, the peculiarities of the different routes are discussed.
Personal transfer of the rental bikes
Our bicycles are not waiting to be picked up somewhere in the bicycle cellar of the hotel, but are usually handed over to you personally by our tour guide. The bikes can be adapted by the specialist to your wishes and nothing is standing in the way of a wonderful cycling week.
Important information about luggage transfers
Your luggage will be transported on-site daily by our team and will be waiting for you at the next hotel in the evening. Several pieces of luggage: on all trips, you can in principle take as many pieces of luggage as you want, the most important thing being the weight. Our team transports luggage up to a maximum of 20 kilograms each. Liability: Since luggage is loaded several times during the tour, quite a lot is asked of suitcases and bags. Please pack carefully, Active on Holiday cannot be held liable for (optical) damage or damage to handles and rollers. Deviating luggage and means of payment are also excluded from liability.
Cycling (Eurobike) App
The Cycling (Eurobike) App is designed to help you navigate your tour and avoid the constant reading and viewing of maps and detailed directions. The app is available for free and works quite easily on any smartphone (Android, iPhone). The GPX tracks for the daily cycling tours and the GPS coordinates for the booked hotels are available on request. The dispatch takes place by e-mail and the data can be easily requested from us before the trip.
Important note: the maps are also available offline, so there are no roaming charges abroad.
Using the Cycling (Eurobike) App works as follows:
-
Download the Cycling (Eurobike) App
-
Request GPX numbers and hotel list on Cycling (Eurobike) App
-
Track and hotel list transmission via email
-
Open numbers and hotel lists in the Cycling (Eurobike) App
-
Download the map for the respective holiday region
-
And leave!
