Bike Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 6944

I really enjoyed the Prague-Krakow tour: I had the blessing of meeting an outstanding group of Aussies who bécame family during the trip . We cycled many smooth lanes and visited countless rural Villages. The hotels were very good and the off the beaten track suggestions were worth the visit . Poland was my first time visit and it was lovely to do it by bike . I felt in love with the country , its respectful people willing to help you Albeit the language barrier, their valúes , their history. Poland is an absolute fem. Thank you Tripsite for making it happen

This was a memorable tour specially the first part of the tour Prague Vienna
The roads and scenery was incredible, the logistics, hotels and cycle paths were unvelievable
Most of the time between cedar forests and beautiful castels
Perhaps one of he best trips in my life and I've done a lot
Congratulations to the operators, since everything was perfect and I would like to hear more about Cheq republic Eslovaquia and Austria
Special thanks for this superb trip

The great people we met, amazing country scenery/sights, fabulous meals, fantastic tour guides & staff on barge!!!

The crew, Ivan and Nikola, and guides, Mateo and Martina, were absolutely wonderful. They made ever effort to ensure we had a great time and all of our needs were met. The daily itinerary was perfect for most - most days was a hearty breakfast, then 2+ hours of challenging but not impossible biking throughout gorgeous scenery, then back to the boat for swim in the amazing Adriatic. The towns were welcoming and not crowded. The Capitan had to adjust the course due to weather, and it all worked out fine. The chefs made delicious home cooked meals. We had a below deck cabin, and it was just fine. Nothing fancy, but we didn't need that because we spent our waking moments on the boat on the sundeck, salon or bar. It was perfect for us - people who love to bike, swim, eat, and drink with good companionship.

Beautiful islands, boat, people, food…. Couldn’t ask for any more!

Overall excellent. See comments below for more suggestions. Guides were excellent. Crew also excellent!

Great routes, excellent Guides, delicious food. would recommend this trip.

Loved the charming and ornate small towns especially Telc and biking in Moravia during fall wine harvest to palaces in Valtice and Lednice. Would highly recommend an e-bike because the hills were long and many steep. Premium accommodations were always good and available when we rolled into town even when earlier than check in time. Support personnel (Lucas,Klara, and others) were fabulous and always answered our questions quickly and offered suggestions such as swapping last 2 days so we didn’t miss the UNESCO sites in Valtice and Lednice when we decided to go directly to Vienna on last day. We often took suggested shorter routes but found them still to be challenging (hilly!!) but e-bikes helped a lot. Loved the countryside fields and cool forests. One in our self- guided group did not have an e-bike but managed the hills with a lot of effort and some stopping to take a break. Would highly recommend but caution there are lots of hills and often share road with cars, albeit less traveled roads.

Cycling through windmills and into small villages was amazing. Guides were awesome. Stopping in local little cafes run by locals was a treat.

No biking experience unfortunately but we enjoyed the cruise and excursions

I loved the active travel! Cycling 30+ miles everyday, followed by touring in afternoons and evenings. This was an unguided tour, and I appreciated the balance between independent time and time spent in community. We met fun people and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of life on the boat. The Bike with GPS app worked great! We felt secure in our independent travel navigator.

The lake is beautiful. The small town and medium sized towns had plenty of choices for food and great locations to eat near the water. My one complaint is that the itinerary doesn’t describe the actual route well or the miles traveled per day. Each day of the 7 day tour was 30+ miles. This didn’t leave much time for exploring the area. We were a group looking for an easy ride and while the trail is mostly flat, the distance for a beginner rider is a lot. We also had to find our own gps bike routes and this led to some confusion. This was the responsibility of the in country bike company. The bikes were all very good.

We were supposed to do the Mosel but lack of water changed us to the Netherlands. Boat was very comfortable, chef was great and staff very warm and helpful. Owner graciously transported us to the starting point from our original location as well as back to the endpoint so that we could make our connections.

Although the trip was rerouted to The Netherlands I thoroughly enjoyed the biking and exploring the various cities that we rode through. All of the staff were wonderful.
It would have been nice to at least cruise an hour or two on the barge. If you biked every day this did not happen. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

The scenery was special..Route gave a taste of the lakes , towns & cities and uplands without being a very difficult cycling experience

Our guide, Ana, brought the local history and culture to life through her vast knowledge and love of Croatia. Everyone on the crew was friendly and effective at their jobs. Beautiful country, coastal towns, etc.

My two favorite components of this tour were the stunning views & the cozy intimate meals spent with old & new friends. This tour was like no other, it was the perfect way to experience Chile for the first time. I am convinced that exploring Chile through a culinary journey is the best choice for any traveler. This tour in particular allows you to experience the culture first hand, never did I feel like a tourist on this trip. I promise you will not come home the same as you left.

My wife and I set out on this trip not sure what to expect - WOW, we were blown away by the experience. I would highly recommend it to anyone. From the boat to the crew to the other guests, everything was great! I also felt the amount of bike riding was well balanced with downtime, exploring the cities we visited, and other activities. It was a good value for money, considering food, lodging, and activities for 8 days.

There were great moments of the bike rides, the other guests on the ship were very nice and it was a pleasant experience. The staff did an excellent job in taking care of the needs of the passengers, from my experience with them. I will say the daily maps of the bike ride were confusing and the app didn't always seem to work well. It was disappointing to have to take a bus to Budapest but I understand the river levels wouldn't allow the ship to travel that far without running into the possibilities of getting stuck. I thought our Cruise Director Jurgen could have spent more time reviewing the bike paths, especially on the last day around Passau. The loop was confusing. Overall, I had a great time!!!

The scenery was so beautiful and the trip was well planned, Our back up van driver Igor was so helpful and kind, He worked so hard to make the trip perfect. Haviing never vacation in the Baltics, we were swept away by it's beauty, and peacefulness. Not huge crowds, beautiful bike paths, delicious foods, and very helpful residents. We would definitely recommend this tour. We are in our 80's and have taken over 20 tours with Tripsite, and have never been dissatisfied.

Seeing all of the sights as we biked on the trails and in the towns and cities

Reichenau and the subsequent ferry trip across the lake, as well as the ride/train ride towards the Alps both stand out.

Knowledgeable and hardworking staff with beautiful scenery throughout the entire trip.

Best tour ever highly recommended them. The tour guide was very professional, friendly & knowledgeable, about local area. Thanks

Loved the tulips, the barge, the staff, the food, etc. Everything was wonderful!

The trip was great but Unfortunately we had cold wet weather for a few days which was annoying. The staff were good and very helpful. The scenery along the trails was mixed from incredible to okay and we had some special moments throughout the tour . The bikes could do with being upgraded to be more comfortable with wider tires for safety and suspension for comfort. . Overall the tour was fun and we made a lot of new friends.

This is our fifth trip on the Merlijn in 10 years. The ship and crew have improved the service and accommodations steadily over those years. I would heartily recommend their trips for those looking for a small ship experience.

The views of France, and the wonderful staff Lucy,Annita,Peter and Josh.
The food was excellent.

The island hopping in Croatia was fabulous. Also the co travelers were as good as we could have hoped for a group of family and friends traveling together, all of whom knew each other except for us. The captain of the ship was terrific, and the swimming at anchor was splendid. The scorching temperatures did impact the biking, but otherwise all was fun.

The bike riding was amazing! Mariana and Cristina did an amazing job guiding us and keeping us safe. We bonded with all the other bikers so well. I would highly recommend this trip to my friends.
