Best Bike Tour Company! - Best tour group ever!!! The director of fun, lol, Luke, took care of every single little thing. Before the scheduled ride, we were provided with a ton of information, schedules, milage, apps to communicate, items to bring, well...they just covered every detail and question I might have had. We rode our own bikes, and had so much fun together! The shuttle service was perfect as our bikes rode blanketed and secure in a trailer and we rode in a comfortable van, the mid-day stops all had an abundance of our favorite snacks and drinks, the breakfast and lunches provided were so tasty and more than filling, and the lodging at the end of the day was so clean and comfortable. They took care of cleaning and storing the bikes safely and securely each evening and had them ready in the morning. When they found out my great-grandfather helped build the KATY railroad and we collected electrical insulators, they surprised me with an insulator for my collection! It is just another example of the thoughtfulness and care of this company. They definitely go above and beyond.

Mother/Son Bike Adventure - My 26 year old son and I did this adventure over Mother's Day weekend and it was the BEST experience! The ride was beautiful, the accommodations were super comfortable and each town had unique treasures for us to experience. We'll definitely book another tour with Crossroads.

Outstanding trip! - Crossroads did a fantastic job. The information was as current as possible, communication was excellent before and during the ride. Eli was a great Ride leader, making sure all of us had as good of a trip as possible. For my first organized, multi-day ride I could not have had a more positive and memorable ride. I hope that my next rides can measure up to this ride.

Absolutely A Must-Do Experience - If you're on the fence about whether you can or want to do a bike tour, you 100% should and this is absolutely the outfitter to go with. You can because manual bikes and e-bikes are both options. If you can do 35 miles 2 days in a row at 10 mph, you can do this on a manual bike. If you can't do that or just don't want to, get out and do some practice rides but rent an e-bike for extra assurance. You'll want to because the end-to-end experience is not only completely hassle-free, it is also a complete pleasure. Great hotels, great food, great company, great hosts. Luke, the owner, knows all of the proprietors up and down the trail, which means a seamless experience for you. The trail itself is beautiful, and it is a real accomplishment at the end when you realize how many miles you biked. There's no reason not to do this, and every reason why you should. I had an absolutely wonderful time.

Our first weeklong bicycle tour together - We loved our bike tour of the KATY trail. The weather was near perfect. The scenery along the route was spectacular and Crossroads Tours did a wonderful job of setting up our accommodations at some fabulous hotels and B n B’s! We will definitely use them again on our next touring adventure.

A week on the Katy Trail - This was a great tour. The hotels and bed & breakfast that we stayed in were very nice and in great locations. They provided a service that moved our luggage to each accommodation. The maps and information for negotiating each day of the trail were clear and easy to follow.

Great ride across Missouri - Crosssroads picked out execellent towns for our overnights on this 6 day tour. The trail is packed gravel. A significant amount of the trail is shaded.

Crossroads Self Guided Ride July 2023 - We rode the entire Katy Trail on a self-guided 7 day trip. It was a wonderful experience and Crossroads did an excellent job. They made all of the arrangements and we ended up in some wonderful hotels and B&B’s in some really neat towns. The locations were very well selected to be close to good food venues and in areas with lots to see and do (for example, we watched the July 4th fireworks over the state capital from our hotel room). They were very prompt in transferring our luggage to the next venue. Overall,it was a great experience and Crossroads did all of the legwork. We only had to enjoy the rides.
