Outstanding tour. Great views of the turquoise lake almost the entire time, culminating in a crazy waterfall. Ride was a comfortable level of difficulty. Probably the nicest e bikes I've ridden before. Guide was very good, and handled some unexpected circumstances very professionally!
Thank you so much for your kind review! :) We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the lake views, the waterfall, and the e-bikes. It was a pleasure having you on the tour. Aleš
Could not recommend doing this tour more! Our guide was awesome, and very knowledgeable. We go to experience so much on the e-bike that would take us days to see.
Thank you so much! I’m really happy you enjoyed the tour and got to see so much of the area in one ride. It was great having you on the tour! Aleš
Great time! Ales took us an adventure that we won’t forget! He also gave us some insider information on the area that we’re going to use🤫😉! Thanks!
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you had a great time and enjoyed the little insider tips 😉 Hope to see you again for another adventure! 🚴♂️ Aleš
Our Iseltwald & Giessbach E-bike tour was amazing! We were picked up at the train station and fitted with our bikes with a thorough tutorial. Ales told us so much about the area and even gave us ideas for hikes not to be missed. We were able to stop along the way whenever we needed to capture the beauty of the lake and towns. We were provided a tasty snack at a beautiful viewing spot and never felt rushed to get from one place to the next. It was definitely an adventure to remember!
Thank you so much for your lovely review! I’m really happy you enjoyed the ride, the views, and the relaxed pace. It was a pleasure showing you around this beautiful area — hope to see you again for another adventure! Aleš
I had one of the most memorable experiences of my trip to Switzerland on this e-bike tour with Ales. Even though he’s just starting out and doesn’t yet have many reviews, trust me, this is THE BEST cycle tour in Interlaken. From the beginning, Ales made the day fun, adventurous, and personal. The e-bikes were excellent. The activities along the way made the tour feel unique — we jumped into an ice-cold river (refreshing and hilarious!), enjoyed authentic Swiss cheese tasting at a farmhouse, and even tried cutting wood for fun. What stood out most was Ales himself. He is knowledgeable, passionate, kind, and attentive. He makes sure everyone is comfortable and adds a personal touch to every moment. If you’re in Interlaken and want more than sightseeing, this tour is the perfect mix of adventure, culture, and fun. It deserves to be one of the top activities here. Thank you, Ales, for such a wonderful day I’ll remember for a really long time!
Wow, thank you so much for this incredible review! I truly appreciate your kind words and the time you took to describe your experience in such detail. I’m really happy you enjoyed the day — the river swim, the cheese tasting, and all the little adventures along the way. It means a lot to hear that you felt the personal touch, because that’s exactly what I want every guest to experience: a fun and authentic day in the Swiss Alps. It was a pleasure having you on the tour — your energy and enthusiasm made it even more special! Thanks again for joining and for helping others discover something new in Interlaken. Hope to see you again for another adventure one day! Aleš
1000000% recommend Ales and Seek Adventure tours. Our 8 person e-bike tour was amazing and we experienced so much fun and breathtaking views in just 5 hours. Ales took us around the lake and country-side and up into the mountain to see the majestic waterfalls. He stopped along the way for photos and even prepared a nice picnic and ice cream break along the way. He treated us all like family and showed so much hospitality. Thanks again Ales for the great adventure.
Thank you so much for this amazing review! I’m really happy you all enjoyed the adventure, the views, and our picnic stop. It was such a fun group — felt like riding with friends! Hope to see you again for another tour! Aleš
Had the best experience exploring Switzerland on an e bike tour! We had a knowledgeable leader who also provided a snack and sweet treat during the long trek. We were only in Switzerland for a short time so this was the perfect way to see some amazing views, towns and a stunning waterfall. We had the best time and highly recommend to everyone traveling in the area!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m really glad you enjoyed the ride, the views, and the little Swiss treats along the way. It was great having you on the tour — hope to see you again one day! 🇨🇭🚴♂️ Aleš
