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.

The entire tour was amazing-perfect weather, beautiful scenery, historic towns, and fun and interesting people we met along the way. Crossroads made our journey awesome with all the planning and details. We just got out there and enjoyed the ride!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Excellent shuttle services, knowledgeable and helpful, I will definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone as well!

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.

Seeing, hearing, and inhaling the Grasslands and Ozark nature areas was divine. Crossroads made it so easy. Lodging was outstanding.

To be clear, I registered for the fully guided tour....and IT WAS!!! The entire operation was exceptional and professional. From the personalize itinerary binder that every rider receives (that included maps, elevation graphics, mileage, rest stops, hotel and lunch / dinner plans) to the hands on service with the bikes was outstanding. This was my first bike tour and so I didn't know what to expect. If you chose to ride any of the trails that Crossroads Tours services I URGE you to go this route. The accomidations were very nice, the lunches good and the dinner options were all great! The flow of the entire week was seamless and very enjoyable thanks to the attention and good care we received from Luke and Eli.

My wife and I and another couple booked a 6 day Katy Trail ride in Missouri in December of 2021 for a week in September 2022. On about 30 days out we received in the mail a trail map booklet and a confirmation of the hotels that had been reserved for us. We arrived in Saint Charles the night before and set out in the morning to the pickup point. 8 AM came and went and the Shuttle Service did not arrive. Nearly an hour late, the van pulled up to load our bike and the 13 plus people that were scheduled for the ride that week. The Van, a 1998 Ford Econoline 350 was LOUD, allegedly because a catalytic converter was stolen the night before? Let's just say the decibel reading in the van was outrageous! However we had not gotten to the worst part yet!! About 45 miles outside of Saint Charles, in the Town of Wentzville, a radiator hose blows and we are stranded at a Truck Stop, three and a half hours away from Clinton Missouri our starting point for the week long bike ride. Since my wife and 3 of us came all the way from Florida, I offered to go to any Napa or Auto parts store to find a Hose. After calling around and locating one, I called an UBER and headed to the Napa for the parts. Upon my return, the driver had the hose off and out and we replaced with the one I had returned with and within several hours we were back on the road. When we finally arrived in Clinton Missouri at 3:30 pm about 4 hours late there was no waiting around, we had to get cranking out the miles. After sunset, we arrived at our Hotel in the dark, totally spent from the loud loud van ride of the day and repairs of the van. Several couples dropped out and failed to ride the following days, most likely due to the experience on the first day and the lack of communication from the owner of Crossroads. For our inconvenience, we all were refunded each $100 dollars of the more than $1000.00 paid for the trip. The remainder of the trip we tried to forget the first days experience and enjoy why we came to ride the longest rails to trails in the US. We did have a nice week, weather was wild, from 99 on day one to 50's on day 4. Overall the trip was a success for my wife and I, but the couple we went with decided to head back to Florida after night 3 and not complete the ride. I wanted to go with a tour company to set up the hotels and help me figure out each days route, but I would look for someone other than Crossroads to shuttle your bikes and you to the starting line. Bike Depot has shuttles there are others that make the trip as well. I don't recommend Crossroads Bike Tours due to the age of their equipment and shuttle and lack of communication. The pictures of the shuttle depicted are not anywhere near the quality of shuttle that picked us up.

Gave a lot of attention to detail,so things go right A lot of effort to make sure all rode safety Rest stops and trip mileage distance were correct each day

I had a blast on this ride. I'm a big fan of "rails to trails" in the first place. No cars and so peaceful. But what made this such an awesome time, was that everything was preorganized. I didn't have to do anything but show up and ride my bike. The hotels were well placed and comfortable. My luggage was moved from one stop to the next. The first week of October was excellent weather . No humidity. No wind. Warm to the mid 70's during the day. It was SO relaxing. I am telling my friends about this tour and probably doing it again. If you want a "no worries", great fun, bike tour; then this is your baby.

We were able to easily arrange a trip that covered close to half of the KATY trail. Crossroads did a great job managing our trip. Great fun!

Luke, Mark and Dennis did an excellent job handling logistics before and during our wonderful adventure on the Katy Trail. The lodging accommodations were comfortable and often presented an opportunity to gain a very interesting historical perspective. The included meals were superb. The dinner recommendations were wonderful and presented opportunities to explore some old world cultural cuisines. In general Crossroads did a wonderful job with SAG support during the ride. There were a couple of longer ride segments when it would have been helpful to have had access to restroom facilities a little sooner. I don't have a specific recommendation for improving this aspect, but I am sure Luke the planner can come up with some ideas to address this point. This is a fantastic adventure that every gravel rider should experience.

We had an amazing time riding the Katy Trail - all beautifully organized by Crossroads. Prior to the trip we got a super cool customized planner with each day shown in detail along with all the options for sightseeing and dining along the way. All of the inns and hotels were excellent and prepared to take care of cyclists.

Very organized trip. Was worth the money considering the overhead and small tasks you'd otherwise be responsible for. Luke did an excellent job preparing and communicating the plan ahead every day.

Our tour was a 6 day guided tour. All details lodging, food, baggage transfer were handled by Luke, Mark and Dennis. The accommodations were the finest available in the small towns that we stayed in. The dining options- we dined together some nights other nights we went our own way. (Can’t please everyone all the time). Riding the trail is an experience that I won’t forget and I would recommend to any avid cyclist. It’s not easy, and you need good gear.

Luke did an incredible job organizing this trip. We were VERY apprehensive as this was our first bike trip of any length. We had some shuttle issues on day #1, but that wasn't Luke's fault, and he was very accommodating once I communicated w/ him. His communication overall was great throughout the entire process. The 5 overnights were perfect. Couldn't have asked for anything nicer. Having our luggage magically appear at each stop was also flawless. And, the guidebook he provides is superb to carry along on the trip. Would use Crossroads again in a heartbeat!!
