5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 4243

Cycling through small villages was great as was the scenery along the Danube. The free walking tour through Bratislava was very informative. We really enjoyed our 2 day stay in Passau.

Sailing and cycling the Greek islands was really incredible - I didn’t want to leave! I was really impressed with Running On Waves. The crew was amazing and I loved that the meals were served buffet style. The food was great and always a variety of selection. Definitely take some extra time in Athens if you can, it is a great city to explore.

Everything worked like clockwork from the airport pickup to drop off. The guides were great (Kristopher and Nickolina) Crew and captain w
Were excellent

Cycling through the countryside, villages, and taking the bike ferries.

Everything was top notch. The Andela Lora was a beautiful ship and our upper deck cabin was superb. (Probably the best of the four bike and boat tours we've done.) The scenery was stunning: very blue sky, and blue water. The rides were good and very scenic. There was a fair bit of gravel and hills - my wife and I were very thankful to have e-bikes. In our group of 33 riders, there were only two non-motorized bikes. One was ridden by a guest, the other by one of the 30-something year old guides.

We had a wonderful time biking through Champagne! We did the loop ride through the Marne Valley and Côte des Blancs—it’s absolutely beautiful. If you enjoy Champagne, this is definitely the place to be. We stayed at the guesthouse Prava Domus on Avenue de Champagne in Épernay. It was a good experience—friendly hosts and an acceptable breakfast. Our experience with Tripsite was excellent. Rebecca, our tour agent, did a great job and made everything run smoothly. After the biking trip, we treated ourselves to a stay at the Loisium Wine & Spa Hotel, which we highly recommend. A perfect way to unwind!

From start to finish - this trip did not disappoint. Breathtaking scenery which felt as if you were cycling in a picture postcard for almost the entire time. We were worried that as we had booked early in the season, that we would be cold but with several layers of clothing and rain gear we stayed warm and dry the entire time. There were a few minor bike issues but they were corrected immediately and didn’t impact our trip. The 2 e-bikes we used (Scott) were very good. Our booked hotels were exceptional and exceeded our expectations with appetizing meals provided. We did the self guided trip and did end up with a flat tire so it’s a must that if you do this trip you needed to be comfortable changing a tire and make sure you have all the necessary equipment to do so when you are given your bikes. The customer service was EXCELLENT from start to finish. Tripsite was an absolute pleasure to work with and adjusted our schedule to fit our needs. We cannot say enough good things about Merete who despite us being on a self guided tour, kept in contact with us the entire time and assisted us if needed. I HIGHLY recommend this trip; we did elect to do e-bikes despite me being a cyclist (my husband doesn’t cycle much ) and it was the right choice as it allowed us to enjoy the beauty of this part of the world. Looking forward to planning my next overseas cycle trip with Tripsite!

1. The switch backs (hair pins), dirt road, pot holes, gravel road, flat road… various terrain.
2. The hotels and luggage transportation is very helpful. The luggage delivery is on time.
3. The seafood, including clams is yummy.
4. Each fishing town or beach town is unique.
5. Óbidos is a great final destination. We finally can take time to walk around the town.
6. Ferry time-it would be helpful to know the ferry schedule so that we can schedule our time earlier instead of waiting for 50 min.
7. A few roads and bridges are under construction or not for bikes. It would be great to know the updated notes to avoid the unnecessary turns.

Our trip was amazing and one of our favorite tours of the five Tripsite bike trips so far!  The Coastal views along the seashore in Portugal were beautiful, and majestic.  We shared the trails/roads/paths along other hiking Pilgrims, making the experience more communal. Our guides, Miguel and Felipe, planned for our meals with local restaurateurs who served delicious traditional Portuguese foods. They took very good care of us and were attentive to our needs including preparing us for any challenges we would experience along the way.  The hotels, especially the Parador de Baiona Hotel & the Torre do Rio Hotel offered an unforgettable experience overall. 

We loved the routes and the stops to view different areas! We appreciated the stops at the WW1 cemeteries, the churches and small towns. The guides were very helpful and friendly.

We had a wonderful time. The combination of biking everyday and returning to our comfy accommodations on the boat was perfect.

Delicious French food!!Tour director was excellent and very attentive to the needs of the group . Crew was very understanding and very helpful. Bikes were in excellent conditions and enjoyed the electric bike. Back to food was the very best on other trips.

Hiking was spectacular! Accommodations good. Mountain biking not as described, much more difficult with very steep downhills, Rides not
“family friendly”. Apparent lack of communication between bike company and Madeira coordinator. However, coordinator was very responsive and helpful. Again, rides did not match description provided both before booking and during trip.

The last two days were the most beautiful weather-wise. Loved the scenery, farms, birds, farm animals, gardens, homes, windmills. Just beautiful. The meals on board were delicious. Met some fun people. Loved our upper level rooms!

The rich and varied vegetation on the islands!! the sparkling blue water surrounding the islands! Stunning views! Food onboard was so delicious! The family that owned and worked the boat were very friendly and inviting!!

The tour was exceptional and gave us an opportunity to experience a taste of each country. We cycled through the countryside and stopped at all of the major points of interests in the cities. The guides shared both historical and current perspectives. Overall the trip was well organized and the food and service were amazing.

Absolutely loved this trip. Excellent crew, food, cabin quarters. Scenery was among the prettiest I’ve ever seen and optional excursions helped immerse me into new cultures. Thank you!!

The scenery along the Danube was gorgeous, as well as all of the cities and towns.

Its hard to pick just one place or one aspect of the trip. Our guides were fantastic, the crew was attentive, the boat is gorgeous and comfortable. The guests were friendly and like minded travelers. Croatia is a beautiful country.

Both my husband and myself were very impressed with the Andela Lora, her crew, the guides, the route and the food were all just exceptional. We have been on several bike and barge/boat trips and we both agree this trip definitely rates high in our books! The guides, Kristopher and Dominic, worked well together and everyone felt safe with clear instructions and kept the guests well informed regarding route changes and updates. The ability to download the route on our cell phones even added further clarity to what each day would be like. Thank you to all who was involved on making this trip so wonderful. Of note, the scenery is just breathtaking too!

we only went to Obidos, but part of me wishes we would have done the longer tour to Lisbon!
i loved the route, and the variety of terrain on the route! The Garmin made it easy to not get lost! We loved seeing the Atlantic Ocean so much. we loved the towns... and Obidos being a walled city was something new and different too!
the terrain changed as we headed south.. that was nice. We also had perfect weather and a tailwind every day! we saw other bikers going from South to North and said they had headwinds every day! We loved the town of Costa Nova! we only passed through, but i wish we would have spent more time there!

Nice and easy 26-35 mile rides daily following by a 3-5 miles walking tour in the towns. The half board breakfast and dinners are delicious and the French chateaus and cathedrals are magnificent! The only issue is the bikes are too big for us the short people, and the heavy steel frame gave me a few bruises.

Great cycling trip and highly recommended!

A fantastic trip from one great city to another. The route was extremely well planned, making use of the vast network of cycleways in both countries (putting the UK to shame!). Although the surface quality was generally very good there some rough sections where the hybrid or gravel bikes came into their own. If you are used to a road style bike with drop handle bars I would definitely opt for the gravel bike as the best overall option as it handled the off-road sections well but was faster and lighter on good surfaces and hills.
The route is well planned to select interesting and historic towns for the overnight stops with the hotels always being close to the centres. A highlight is the quality of the support provided by both Tripsite beforehand and the guides during the tour. Lukas gave us a very detailed introduction and was always in touch throughout the journey to make sure everything was going well. The Tripsite App gave us lots of very useful information and the gps files made route following a breeze.
Thankyou team for a great experience

The beautiful scenery we biked through was unexpected and made the biking very enjoyable. And, of course the many animal sightings during our game drives. It was so amazing to be in the presence of such beautiful animals roaming free in the savanna. Along the way we were treated to some amazing places, hikes, and tours. Our guides took such great care of us and spoiled us w some delicious meals! Overall I’d say this tour was definitely a WINNER!

We were with the biking group of 20 plus three guides so our time on the boat was a bit limited (meals and sleeping mainly). The boat was enjoyable, clean, a positive vibe throughout the week. The cabins were spacious enough and well designed for storage. The staff was polite, knowledgeable, and seemed to work together well.

Our biking guides were absolutely excellent, both at individuals as well as with their communications and coordination. We will consider another trip with them in the future.

One morning after walking for over an hour, a man out pruning his hedges invited us in for a cup of tea. It was delightful. We met some of the nicest people, from all over the globe on this trip. The scenery was stunningly beautiful. We don't always find the hiking "easy", but if a pair of 70 year olds can do it, it would certainly be easy for the younger ones. We like to walk independently, and thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of nature. Our drivers were delightful, and became our friends.

It’s challenging to pinpoint only one favorite. Overall: the floral fragrances, the reflections of pastel painted homes in the river, the stark contrast between fields of flowers and wheat vs cavernous mountains.

This family run adventure is the perfect way to explore the Aeolian Islands. The Sundail ship provides an intimate atmosphere to interact with the other guests during your week adventure.

The ride was enjoyable. Easy to follow instructions and GPS. The hotels were very comfortable. My favorite was staying in the hotel that used to be a monastery. Thermal baths nearby, cute town and wonderful people. Even though we had some rain, to be expected in spring, the flowers were in bloom. Especially the red poppy's. The boat ride into Budapest gave you a wonderful panorama of thee city. Great trip overall

The crew were amazing! It was wonderful watching them as a well oiled team and they were always cheerful. Fabulous food, the ship was spotless and the guides were informative.
