Vietnam & Cambodia
Vietnam, Cambodia
The guides, Bay and Hoang were amazing tour guides. What whirlwind trip we were given of Vietnam. We got to see and experience so many things throughout the trip. The biking was fun and amazing wish there was more of it. The hotels were all beautiful and well located. There was so many logistic aspects to the trip and the guides carried them out so well. Listing of the memorable parts;
The first day biking coming upon the water buffalo family playing in the mud a few feet from the road, with the mountains in the background. Ha Long Bay’s beauty, the kayaking. Hoi An’s beautiful property and watching the boats go by in the river. The cooking class was very fun. The education we received of this wonderful country, its people and their cultures.
Recommendations: bring dry wick clothes, wear keen hiking sandals, plan on washing your clothes with Mrs. Van in HoiAn, and smiling lady outside The Grand Saigon Hotel.

Valencia, Color and Contrasts
Spain
We had the misfortune of booking our trip when global warming struck the region in October 2024. The DANA that struck the region during that time had a major impact on our trip, cancelling 3 days of riding. The folks on the ground are not to blame for the weather, but their reaction went far above expectations! Due to flooding and road washouts, they taxied us (at no charge to us) from hotel to hotel to end our trip.
The hotels were top notch, each with a distinct charm. The directions and provided GPS made for almost seamless travel (a couple of wrong turns because I didn't have the GPS tuned in fine enough.
Tripsite was a dream to work with for our booking! I was booking for a group of 8 seniors. One of them did not recover from a previous surgery in time to travel, so had to cancel 10 days before departure. They took care of notifying the providers and processed the refund quickly. I never actually spoke to anyone, but easily made all arrangements online.

The guides Hoang and Nam REALLY MADE OUR VIETNAM EXPERIENCE A SUCCESS. The first vessel to Halong Bay may have had bad bad water served as so many were sick.
Not enough biking. I wanted 3 times the biking and no 5 course meal at noon.

Cambodia 21 years old guide Rath Pat was AMAZING. I was not impressed with Cambodia lead guide as his lack of problem solving left one of our couples behind for dinner one evening.

Puglia Food & Wine
Italy
Travelling in Puglia is quite different from other parts of Italy so well worth the trip. Our tour coming was exceptional. The food, the wine, the accommodation and of course the scenery were all wonderful. This is a great trip but beware it does include some rough roads so good bike skills are essential and an e-bike makes it a lot more fun.

Hi Margaret! It’s great to hear you found the experience exceptional. We're thrilled you enjoyed the food, wine, accommodation, and scenery on your tour in Puglia. Also, your tips about bike skills and using an e-bike are much appreciated—they’ll be helpful for future travelers!

My wife and I particularly enjoyed the natural beauty of northern Vietnam - Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Island. The imperial city of Hue was also very good. We least enjoyed the markets in the south. I appreciate that they reflect the local culture and support the local economies, but I quickly bored of repeatedly seeing sellers hoc the same selection of frogs, fruit and fabric. No special tips for other travellers. The travel notes provided by Tripsite already cover what is required well.

Rhine River Valley E-Bike & Boat
Germany, France, Switzerland
Traveling by e-bike and boat along the Rhine felt like a luxury adventure with a touch of home. The wine regions reminded me of the rolling vineyards of Limburg, but the diversity here—Alsace, Breisgau, and Basel—was extraordinary. The cycling was easy and enjoyable.

Rhine River Valley E-Bike & Boat
Germany, France, Switzerland
My partner and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore three countries in one trip! Cycling along the Rhine was magical, with its lush vineyards and the majestic passage of Loreley being standout moments. The food was incredible—whether it was the Swiss chocolate, German sausages, or Alsatian pastries, every bite felt like a discovery. Basel’s Three Countries Corner was fascinating, and the medieval charm of Mainz was equally captivating. The guides made everything seamless. A perfect mix of culture, food, and nature!

Rhine River Valley E-Bike & Boat
Germany, France, Switzerland
This e-bike and boat tour along the Rhine was a dream come true! The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, from the picturesque wine villages to the historic castles perched along the riverbanks. Each stop was rich in culture—Strasbourg Cathedral and Colmar’s Gothic art were personal highlights. And the food! Sampling local wines and regional dishes like tarte flambée in Alsace was an unforgettable experience. The stress-free e-biking made it accessible and enjoyable, even for someone like me who’s not an avid cyclist. Highly recommend this tour for its perfect balance of relaxation and adventure!

Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik
Croatia
Well, my first experience was in 2016, in Ireland, when I cycled alone in the Clare & The Burren region. It was great... Then in 2017 I cycled in Norway, Drammen, Horten, Sandefjord, Fredrikstad, Son and Oslo, and in December 2017 I cycled over Christmas and New Year in Vietnam and Cambodia. Last year I cycled around Lake Constance, which I LOVED! This year I went walking in CROATIA, in the Dalmatian region, and I LOVED it. I guess I'm a bit biased to say anything.

Puglia Food & Wine
Italy
We thoroughly enjoyed our cycle through Puglia. Lovely quiet costal roads and interior laneways through the olive groves (unfortunately many dead trees due to a blight). The towns we stayed in were all unique and different. The food was generally of high quality and the tasting opportunities well presented. This is a great way to see all that Puglia has to offer

Bruges to Amsterdam
Belgium, Netherlands
Finally getting around to a review from this past summer. We had great weather, and the biking was great. We learned a lot with our guide and allowed us a different point of view as travelers. Thank you! As for the ship, it was clean and comfortable, and Emile, the chef, was amazing! He put a lot of effort into accommodating everyone's dietary needs/concerns, not to mention the food was delicious! He handled the rude customers very well, and maintained professionalism even when they were extremely unreasonable. He went above and beyond with customer service and because of him, my time onboard was fantastic. If we go again, we want to ensure he will be the chef during our tour. The other staff members were very friendly and would sit with us all and join in on the fun. It is a trip I would recommend to all my friends.

Spain’s Longest Greenway: Albarracín to Valencia
Spain
We were very happy with the thoughtful hotels selected, to ensure bike safety and a unique experience. All of the hotels had so much within walking distance, that once you were there, you could easily take a break from the bikes and explore things by foot. Being self-guided allowed us to make stops as we pleased and go at whatever pace felt best for us. We never felt alone though; a we had someone nightly giving us so much information about what to expect for the following day, how to plan, and helping us make reservations for meals. They were a Read More wealth of knowledge and made a point to ensure we were having a positive experience.
Overall, this trip was perfect for people like my husband and I, who don't just want to only see the cities and the tourist attractions. This allowed us to be active as we traveled and we felt it was very accessible terrain, even though we are not professional cyclists. We also opted for e-bikes which are so fun. For anyone stressed around the milage the e-bike is the way to go. They are just awesome. Loved how well-planned things were for us, so we only had little details to worry about.

Mantova to Venice or Venice to Mantova
Italy
The trip was made more enjoyable by having a great tour guide, Hein. His local knowledge of history, culture and traffic patterns proved to be invaluable. The boat staff overall were also very accommodating and the food preparation superb. Even when we had a slight water leak in our cabin during overnight heavy rain, the crew expressed concern and responded quickly to the issue. Some suggestions for future tours include: 1) Providing name tags for the guests on the first day 2) Look into ways to improve the air flow within the cabins.
Overall we could recommend this tour and look forward to our next adventure.

National Parks of Dalmatia E-Bike & Boat

The most memorable part, has to be parts plural. Loved the biking through the country and small towns, seeing people harvesting olives, drinking local grappa and coffee, walking thru the ports, listening to the sea organ in Zadar, swimming in a isolated bay from the boat. How can you pick one?

The Heart of the Tarn River Valley
France
Our group of six had a fabulous stay and 7 days of biking in the Tarn River Valley in September 2024. Claudia set us out on terrific routes each day - stunning beauty, beautiful roads for biking in this part of France - and Claudia - what can I say- such a lovely person (now good friend) who took care of us with tremendous energy and thoughtfulness. Back at the end of the day, her staff made sure we were fed the best of food and drink - wonderful relaxing dinners. We have all taken several bike trips in Europe through Tripsite. This was the favorite! Bikes were great! Beds and rooms were great. Food was great. I felt like a kid riding through enchanted forests … we’ll be back for more rides someday and another stay at Les Magnolias. You cannot go wrong choosing this trip.

Cycling from Paris to Bruges
Belgium, France
All parts of the trip were memorable. One of the few boat/bike tours that does your laundry. Bring extra pair of warm underwear if doing it in October. Alcohol, sodas, diet sodas, tea, and snacks always available. Coffee almost always available. Crew was like friends and they went out of the way to cater to individual needs. I would do this trip again. I brought extra protein powder, sometimes European meals don't have enough. I had a GoPro strapped to my chest during bike rides and I could start it, stop it, and take a video or picture all with voice commands. I couldn't believe the number of castles, churches, war memorials, not to mention docking in Auvers the village where Van Gogh lived. Saw his grave and the meadow he painted the crows. I would/will do this trip again. I did Paris to Bruge, but either way should be nice. Great vegetarian options in the bigger towns (this is just a rule of thumb for all europe).

Danube Bike Path - Vienna to Budapest
Austria, Hungary, Slovakia
The paper maps, app and instructions for getting between towns were excellent and very detailed (with one exception, see below), but the instructions for navigating from the end of each day's route to your hotel for the night were not clear or sufficient, and on occasion, missing entirely. This unfortunately meant that after 2-3 hours of relaxed, lovely cycling through fields, castles, ruins etc, each day ended with 40 stressful minutes trying to find the hotel.
The first day's route gave an alternative option for anyone staying in Petronell-Carnuntum, rather than cycling all the way to Bad Deutch-Altenburg on the north side of the river and then 30min back to Carnuntum, an option was given of taking the ferry across the river at Orth an der Donau and then "following the cycle path to Carnuntum" - this advice was not sufficient, as Read More there was no signposted cycle path on the south side of the river. I ended up catching a train to Carnuntum rather than cycle on a busy main road.
I was also given an incorrect time and date for the briefing session, and had to find my way to a different hotel in Vienna in order to attend a briefing session (it turned out all briefing sessions over a 2 day period had been wrongly communicated to all travellers, and the poor driver was having a very hard time of it).
Lastly, the tickets for the train and boat that I was issued were for incorrect dates, but I'm pleased to say that the company sorted this out very quickly and sent replacement tickets for the correct dates on to one of the hotels along my route, which was good service.
I liked the fact that both a map app and paper maps with detailed written instructions were provided, as the app drained my phone battery very quickly so it was good to have the paper maps and directions as well.
I would still recommend this trip very highly, but I hope that better directions to the hotels (and the alternative route on day 1) can be provided to future travellers.

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal
The coast of Portugal is spectacular. The views were amazing and many of
the hotels were right on the ocean.
The bike paths were VARIED. Regular bike paths but also dirt and gravel, cobblestone streets,
secondary and main highways. I am very glad that I had an e bike ,a couple of the days are long
plus it's hilly in places and windy. The one small thing that would be nice is to have a day of rest in
the middle. To spend two days somewhere.
It was a beautiful trip and I highly recommend it.

Andalusia - Seville to Granada
Spain
The variety of food was a lot of fun. Seeing the little towns and villages along the way was also a plus. Trying different beers and wines was also fun. And of course the history in Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada was excellent. With the exception of the climb through town to Castille Almoalvador, the road choices were excellent, particularly on the last day.

Authentic Holland

The name says it all, it truly felt like an Authentic Holland experience. Riding into a new Dutch town everyday felt like uncovering a hidden gem each time. The Magnifique II provided a warm and cozy place we called home for the week, an absolutely beautiful ship with a top notch crew. I would do this tour again in a heartbeat!
