Of the many excellent hikes available in Madiera,
This tour manages to curate some of the best. The accommodations happen to be some of the best too from those must do beachfronts to the highly regarded Castanheiro hotel in Funchal. So basically it’s a pretty classy tour package. Now, for the hardline: especially for the risk adverse Americans, who might be reading this. These hikes are only for experienced hikers. Experience means having strong enough joints for very long, extremely steep and very narrow trails over potentially lethal drop offs. We have Vibram soled, lightweight hiking shoes to navigate the stones and steps and narrow causeways where a slip is not an option. We use a carbide tip quality hiking pole. We were absolutely dependent on the Ride with GPS app when the fog closed in on the trails on the high mountain. With that in mind, we found these well marked routes and trails to be some of the most beautiful in the world. Lush with flowers in early June, punctuated by waterfalls adjacent to moss clad rock walls, those drop offs give breathtaking views. The logistics are wonderful to have a ride to the trailhead where parking can become impossible. The guide book was decent yet yet not too detailed and allowed for some fun surprises. But, you must follow the warnings about trail closures to avoid hefty fines and fatalities. We did discover that it was best on the very last day to hike from the overlook point up to the village to the restaurant O Forno, and the coffee shop Legal Gato for what may have been the best cup of coffee we ever had anywhere in the world. The taxi driver was happy to pick us up from there instead of the trailhead. We suggest you utilize these drivers for post hiking activities, such as this when you can.
Funchal is fantastic and worth spending additional time thereafter this tour. From Funchal, we suggest the Pico to Pico Trail for the most hard-core hikers or taking the ferry to Porto Santo for beach R&R, and biking and hiking all over this smaller island. The taxis are fabulous. Bus system easy. Don’t hire a car. It’s ‘impossible’ to drive and park on these islands. Too many bad drivers already.

Excellent guides, lots of information and history. Beautiful biking, e bikes wonderful

The fantastic cycling set up in Holland and a really comfortable cabin

This was the second leg of our Loire valley bike ride as we had done Orleans to Tour 2 years ago.
We started in Tour this time and again enjoyed the ease of the electric bikes, which was needed more so on the section especially the last day being the longest. There was an adventure on the last day having to cross the river and put our bikes on a small barge and pull ourselves across... I must admit we definitely needed my friends husband as just 2 females together i don't think we would of managed.
Overall another fabulous trip. I must say the best accommodation was at Chinon. The rooms were huge and Maurice had everything to make you feel at home,we didn't want to leave. Breakfast in the morning was like being king and queen of the castle sitting at a huge fancy dining table so much different to the other generic hotels. We will go back just to stay with him again.

Experiencing the awesome cycling infrastructure in both Belgium and the Netherlands.

Cycling in Albania was probably my most favorite trip with Tripsite (this is our fifth). The country and the people were amazing.
We received more pre information than everyone else who didn’t book with Tripsite. Looking back there was some things people have to take into consideration when traveling there. This country is just beginning to develop its tourism as well as leaving behind its communist roots. Some places we stayed were not as nice as other countries we have visited. That said, if you look at the cost to travel within it is truly a win. The electric bikes had issues from time to time but our guide and driver always did repairs or swap out when necessary.
The food was outstanding throughout and the riding although challenging at times, was worth every view. Get some seat time in and go visit a beautiful country before it gets too crowded.

I just loved the bike trip on the Danube. It's a gorgeous river and huge in places. Loved the wide bike path along both sides of the river. So many cute towns, vineyards, churches, and cafes long the way. Vienna was a fun town to bike in and we loved the rose gardens. The path was flat so we were comfortable with the regular 8 speed bike. The food was good on the tour and liked we could pack a lunch in the morning. Lots of fun people and the staff was terrific! Good value for the cost of the trip!

Beautiful scenery, quality bikes and guides, very nice boat and great crew

Only downside was a large amount of the biking was on gravel roads which should have been made very clear. Original information just said some gravel riding. If you weren’t a very experienced gravel rider the rides were difficult. We have done 2 other bike and boat rides through TripSite and neither had any significant gravel riding. Do to the difficulty I skipped 2 of the rides which was really disappointing.

The trip was excellent. Exactly as advertised. I want to give a special shoutout to the Tripsite customer support team. We had a couple of unexpected family/personal issues that came up just before and during the tour, and that required some accommodations. The Tripsite support team was responsive, supportive, and flexible. That made a big difference for us.

Beautiful boat with competent and friendly Captain and staff. Great e-bikes and guides were fantastic.. Great food and beverages, beautiful ports, and an overall perfect vacation. Thanks to Carla Sprout and her staff we were able to Charter the Bellezza for 27 friends and all called it a trip of a lifetime. Even our two non-bikers had a blast and our group is planning another cruise in 2027.

I loved the guides, crew, boat and guests. Croatia is beautiful and the biking was wonderful!

Beautiful countryside! The ride with GPS guide was excellent,

The entire trip was well organised with a great route. The path was exceptional albeit a bit flat at times which allowed the daily distances to be covered very easily. The route was punctuated by historic towns and natural beauty around every corner.

I would recommend this trip to anyone, even people with limited fitness.

The most enjoyable part of this tour was definitely the bike riding, the company of fellow passengers and enjoying the delicious dinners prepared on board. We felt very comfortable being guided through the beautiful countryside on trails and amazingly narrow roads, stopping at historic sites and learning a little of Dutch traditions.

Traversing the rolling English countryside and honey colored towns of the Cotswolds on bicycle.

This was an amazing trip. The guides were very knowledge and enthusiastic. The boat and the crew were excellent and the food was wonderful (too much food!).

Flawless trip package: Absolutely exceptional tour guide information packet. Follow all the details in the guide! Focus on Art, wine, nature, cuisine, camels, eco-farming and markets, stargazing, cycling, hiking, beaches, history, human resilience…Great variety of highly regarded rural hotels with top grade restaurants nearby and resort hotels with wonderful rooms and amenities. Excellent Bikes. Gorgeous cycling routes. We guarantee that you will love Lanzarote after this tour. Add on extra nights in Playa Blanca to take the ferry to Fuerta Ventura, and Los Lobos Islands.
From Arrecife bus to Orzola and ferry to Grasciosa Island. This agency can accommodate any extra days at any of the excellent tour point cities and villages and it is well worth the time to do so.
We found the Canary Island food to be not only gourmet great delicious but fantastic fuel for cycling, swimming, and touring. The local cheeses and fruits, vegetables, avocados, onions, delectable pastries and meats, as well as the wines are highly flavorful from these volcanic soils. We truly love Lanzarote now. This absolutely unforgettable tour is worth repeating. A great value indeed.

Nothing brings you closer to the scenery, towns and villages than a cycling tour. We really enjoyed seeing the varied landscapes and communities of North Zealand close up. The cycling conditions there are excellent.

Our guys were awesome as well as the crew. They really made the trip enjoyable. Also I really like the E bikes on this trip.

Together, the camaraderie that developed, the amazing vistas we got to see, and the history we learned about the Dalmatian area all made this a memorable trip.

A friend went on a similar tour the week after ours. One of their guides got amazing drone footage that really captured their adventure. If this could be added to this trip it would literally knock this tour out of the park.

This bike trip was a wonderful experience. We were able to visit many small villages that we likely would not have seen otherwise, which added a unique and authentic dimension to the journey. The hotels were very comfortable, and the bikes were in excellent condition throughout the trip.

Having the extra day in Syracuse at the end was especially valuable, as there is so much to see and explore in Syracuse and Ortigia. While there was more traffic than we expected, it was manageable and did not detract significantly from the experience.

The tour is described as easy to moderate, and I would agree with that assessment. The first day was the most challenging, but overall the rides ranged from easy to moderately demanding and were enjoyable for cyclists with a reasonable fitness level.

I would highly recommend this tour for its stunning Mediterranean views, charming villages, and well-organized itinerary.

Except for one day of peddling through a very industrial area, the scenery along the Rhine was beautiful. For the most part off road on dedicated wide cycle paths. Each evening the tour director/convenor provided an orientation for the route the following day. The food on the barge was excellent. No complaints at all. Very good value.
Note: The cabins at the back of the barge seemed a bit more cramped and noisy.

The staff and the tour guides made this trip awesome. I would have given it a 5, but we were stuck on the boat in Auxerre for the week due to a broken lock on the Yonne river, so I can't rate what we didn't see. That said, our tour guides developed a beautiful series of bike rides based in our near Auxerre (all on the fly). The staff on the boat were awesome too - working together as a team and making relationships with all the guests. I can say with certainty that all 22 guests had a fantastic week.

A superb week! Winny and the team were so well organised and calm making a really enjoyable week for biking and sailing. We loved discovering this part of the Netherlands which we didn't know at all and were able to see and learn a lot about it both with the guides on the bikes and the crew on the boat. An added bonus was the food - exceptional 3 course meals every evening and hearty breakfasts to start the day. A great success!

Our tour guides and staff on the ship were fabulous. Our ship had mechanical issues including air condition failure, generator failure, ice machine failure and generator failure. The ship waived the fuel surcharge to compensate but I was glad I was on an upper deck with a window.

Kristen did a wonderful job helping us plan our trip and then executing the logistics. The bikes were first-rate, and when we did have a problem with one, it was quickly swapped out.

Three things impressed me that were different from our last trip with Tripsite.
1. The Tripsite app was superb and quickly replaced a paid bike app I had planned to use. We also liked the local city tour guides in the app.
2. We chose to take a day off every 3 to 4 days and upgraded our lodgings for those double-night stays to Deluxe Accommodations, which we found very nice and greatly appreciated. I want to clarify that you offer two accommodation levels: deluxe and superior. To me, the wording seems reversed: "superior" typically implies a higher level than "deluxe," but here "deluxe" was the better accommodations.
3. The food was delicious throughout the trip. At times, it felt as much like a food tour as a biking adventure, making the experience very memorable.
Thank you for making our trip stress-free and enjoyable.

The biking was perfect and mostly on small roads and paths. This is a beautiful countryside and we loved our tour! I hope to book another trip soon. I would highly recommend it to friends!

This was an unbelievable and unforgettable trip at every level! The Bellezza is a beautiful yacht that cruises calmly and quietly through the beautiful Croatian water! The Captain and the Crew provide genuine customer care from the navigation and mooring, to the outstanding housekeeping services, and the Food and Beverage staff with the outstanding meals and beverage services. The Bike Tour Guides provided exceptional tour leadership that ensured safety and tons of fun!
