Bike + Boat Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 5176

We just got back from our biking trip and it was simply fantastic. The rides were perfect and our guides were outstanding. We lucked out on the weather too:) We met wonderful people on our trip from all over the world.
Food on board was delicious and the crew couldn’t have been better! Highly recommend this trip!

The group of 30 was great - all were very social and interesting. Ali, the bike leader was excellent. Food on board was very good.
Unfortunately, the boat had some problems. While our cabin was good, some had water and odor problems.

Favorite parts: Small town experiences such as wine tasting or visiting a butcher shop. Also, the bike paths were very good.
Our guides were excellent and it was nice that we could be split into two groups.
The boat was very nice and all the staff were pleasant. It was nice that the captain helped out and interacted with us.

Scenery was absolutely stunning! Even though you have an e-bike you still have to pedal and use some energy. I would suggest to get on a bike a few times before doing the tour. We had some people that were quite out of shape, hadn't done anything physical ever and they struggled. You can go at your own pace and stuff so that's fine but there are some uphill that do require some energy.

Food was absolutely amazing!

The one downside was that the staff were smoking on the boat right where we walked through to get to the dining hall, the lounge etc. And the smoke wafted up into those areas.

Our tour guide was great and the chef was fantastic! The boat steward and boat captain also did a great job.

Barge rooms were very comfortable. Crew and guides were fantastic. All of the on-board meals were plentiful and excellent.

We found that riding in a group of 20+ was too large, especially when encountering the occasional busy bridge, intersection, or other tricky bit of riding. We thought it unfair to, and perhaps dangerous for, our guides to manage such a large group at these points. We would suggest that the group be split in two, with one guide for each group. On our trip, there were many competent cyclists who could have ridden as the sweep for each group.

Super poor communications from Tripsite. Lack of timely information regarding changes in the itinerary did not allow us any opportunity to cancel or reschedule or discuss options. We contacted Tripsite many times and most Inquires to Tripsite staff and requests for manager to call did not get a response.

Crew on the boat tried to be positive and accommodate a new plan but the boat hadn’t been to the scheduled stops in months. Better communication from Tripsite would have enabled us to make changes or adjust. We were unable to boat to several stops and a 3 hour each way bus ride was simply not an acceptable option.

I would not use Tripsite again.

Stunningly beautiful scenery! Cycling was very easy with an e-bike.

Very nice bike boat tour. Nice service, nice boat, great bike guide . Generally, great trip!

We loved our time aboard the Sundial and the beauty of the Aeolian Islands. Angelo and his family offered an amazing experience for onboard living, planning for our daily excursions (a shout out to Nico here for his wonderful e-bike tours) and delicious meals embracing regional food. The scenery was stunning, especially the erupting volcano Stromboli!

The guides and the crew were fantastic. The scenery and history was breathtaking. The cabin was spacious, food was excellent. The bikes were easy to use. Really enjoyed the long ride to Groznjan.

The scenery was excellent. We swam every day at lovely beaches in crystal clear water. Our guides, Ester and Dimitri were excellent.

Biking was great.
Negative was the extremely wavy waters the last two nights. Many people got sick.

The biking was so wonderful. Stopping to explore castles, having lunch at a beautiful lake, having time to explore on our own.
The dinners on board were so delicious. The boat itself was beautiful. Big enough to find yourself alone or a part of a crowd talking about the day that just passed.

Our last night on the boat was quite memorable. The meal was excellent and beautifully prepared. Entertainment on board was an added surprise and made all the more fun when our captain, the staff and our guides joined in the revelry. The whole trip was very well executed and the staff and guides were top notch.

The Harmonia is a beautiful and comfortable boat. Our trip was just wonderful. The staff on the boat were friendly and the food was plentiful and delicious. The bikes were comfortable and super well maintained. Our guides really made the trip for us.
When asked about the best part,…. It’s the feeling you get riding thru the countryside from village to village. It was always nice come back to the comfortable boat, on the Adriatic Sea.

Bikes were top quality, guides (Thomas and Wim) were fun, cook was excellent - food choices good. Iris (the barge) beds were comfortable. Hostess/waitress was very helpful. Crew (Kevin) was available and very nice. Captain did a great job navigating. Days riding (6) were well planned out with frequent breaks, so no sore bottoms. Room was small (as expected on a barge) but more than adequate. Private shower larger than expected. Next time I go I will remember to bring magnetic hooks for more hanging space. It was a great trip.

The captain & crew of the barge, as well as our bike tour leader Hetty, we're great. We enjoyed spending time in that part of Germany.

The boat was spacious. The food amazing. The guides stellar. What more can I say?

The countryside that we cycled through was beautiful and the cycling infrastructure incredible! Belgium and The Netherlands were perfect locations for a first bike trip for us. Also loved staying on the boat so we didn’t have to worry about meals or packing up!

This was a fantastic tour, love the country side of Belgium and Holland. Of course very biking friendly. the staff and support were fantastic. This was a self guided tour and our Tour guide gave us great briefing daily. I would recommend this tour to any one who wishes to bike and enjoy visiting .

Enjoyed the short time I was there. Great people. Franklin was very helpful when I landed in hospital.

Although the Danube River was at a 100yr+ low and we were unable to traverse past Vienna, the cruise offered several alternative exploring options that satisfied my group.

Met some really nice people at out table that included us with their group.
All the staff were extremely kind and courteous.

Excellent trip. This is our 3rd Bike and Boat adventure with Trip Site and our favorite. The weather was a little rough - rain and rolling seas. The captain and crew made it truly enjoyable. It is a very unique tour - great adventure touring the various volcanic Islands. We loved seeing the active volcano at night and touring the vineyards in Salina.

Outstanding tour leader and overall crew. Well-planned routes (except for the gravel parts :) and interesting sights. Excellent, plentiful food. Wonderful fellow travelers. Basic but comfortable cabin. This was a very memorable experience for us, and we would enjoy another similar tour with this company.

Riding from Amsterdam to Bruges was such an awesome way to see the gorgeous countryside, canal paths and charming little towns on the ride. Coming back to the boat every evening was definitely the highlight, with great food, relaxing views from the water, and fun company to unwind with.

Very well organized, everything was nicely done. My only negative feedback is that the daily stops were too many and much too long! There is no need for a 40 minute coffee break at 10am when we had just begun riding at 9am. The lunch breaks were also too long, I would much have preferred riding for an hour+ and then stopping for a quick break. Breaks could have been 20 minutes. The stop in Trier was also too long at almost 3 hours, it was unexpected and we were not prepared to be left on our own to kill that amount of time. It would have been better to have spent that time riding, or at least give us a heads up that we would be on our own so plan accordingly, in my opinion it was a waste of time.

Everything was great. The guides were friendly and knowledgable. The food was excellent. The Harmonia was beautiful.

The boat Staff was excellent we were well taken care of. The Food served onboard was awesome.

The Bike Staff had a couple daily meetings with the group. Keeping us informed of daily rides.
They also were very helpful if needed along the routes.

We had a very enjoyable time.
