Europe Bike + Boat Tour Reviews — 361 to 390 of 5284

Tudo correu excepcionalmente bem. Recomendamos o passeio. Parabéns pela organização, tanto da Tripsite quanto do time local.

The bike rides through the country were terrific. That was the reason for selecting this trip.
Although the food was well prepared, the selection of dishes was mediocre.
The staff were great and made the trip enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable.

Wow, Croatia is beautiful and the best way to see it by far is on a bike! Guides Edi & Dom were great at keeping us organized and showing us out of the way places - especially “the wall”. The boat was comfortable and the food good, although a little salty and cool at times (understandable given the tiny galley). This is our 6th bike/boat, and ranks as one of the best.

Fabulous trip on L'Estello. Food was the best so far on a Tripsite adventure. Hein, our guide was politically incorrect and was fabulous. Our group of 8, in our 60s and 70s rode city bikes. The other 10 in our group rode eBikes. We had no problem but unless you are a strong, confident rider, I'd recommend eBikes.

The crew and guides were awesome! Frank was an incredible Chef, we looked forward to every meal. We had a couple of glitches and the guides handled each situation like a pro!

This tour was fantastic! I’ve never done a tour before, preferring to follow my whims when traveling. I enjoyed it so much I’m planning to do it again in future.

The bikes were great and any issues were promptly resolved. Stunning scenery along both of these iconic rivers, quaint towns and small cities with gorgeous architecture, pleasant outdoor wine stops all make for an ideal adult cycling vacation. Most trails were flat and paved.

The scenery and the historical cities were so wonderful. Especially loved the last day of biking through wine country and small villages. Food was excellent, and accommodation was comfortable. Only complaint would be the lack of clear, English directions during our information sessions each evening. A guide out on the course would be recommended.

Loved the e-bikes. The guides Eddie and Dominique were great. The biking was the best part for me.

I enjoyed seeing the islands and really enjoyed our group on the boat.

The location and the people. Everything was well organized and on schedule other than having to make a few change of the trip for weather which the staff did superbly.

The boat was great , all the rooms had windows and a little terrace, and the food was amazing. I would have liked to have more time to visit the cities were the boat docked. Cycling was fun...but we could not visit the interesting sites.

Crew was great, food good but the hybrid bikes were terrible. They were old and meant for city riding not longer bike tours. Unforgivable considering the high price for trip. We also find it strange that our bike guide never wore a helmet.

Very well organized, lovely trip with great guides, nice barge. The weather conditions were a bit challenging for the daily bike rides. But the group and the guides were flexible and arranged great trips.

My only issue is the routes gps. The explanation weren’t always good and the routes we downloaded were certainly not updated. On a couple of days they said it was actually dangerous to bike so some of our friends didn’t bike. We had all gone there for the biking.

Scenery was great bikes where good boat was excellent would have been bocce if helmets could have been provided or rented as hard to pack and carry one to Europe .

This was hands down the most amazing trip ever. The boat crew (Mistique IV) was incredible, our bike tour guide (Marion) was wonderful, the scenery, the food, accommodations, everything was perfect. We will 100% be doing another tour with them.

The scenery was amazing. Our guide explained the different topography pertaining to the vines and wines made at different levels. Very informative.

Our guide François and support staff were fabulous. The weather was perfect to see these magical sites and to enjoy cycling across the landscape. The boat staff were welcoming and the rooms very comfortable. The only reason that we are not giving this a 5 star rating is that it only became clear shortly before the trip that most of the passengers on the boat were from 1 country (in this case Germany), what that meant is that we were traveling in France yet having a German experience so more like voyeurs than a French immersion experience. The food on the boat catered to a German diet instead of a French diet (yes there were croissants in the morning and dessert crepes yet that was about it). It also seemed that none of the staff on the boat were from France. We are grateful that our tour guide and all the city guides were French and really made an effort to share the French experience!

Riding along the Mosel and the bike tour guides, Hetty and Corrie

I loved being able to experience things I would have never found on my own. Meeting Franco the gondola builder, the cheese factory and the beauty of the river area were fantastic. The crew and food were outstanding. They were all very helpful and friendly and fostered a positive community among the guests. One tip is to bring a twin sheet as there is only a comforter on the bed.

The bike ride scenery was almost 75% amazing, 25% was nice or ok. Having said that, I am an experienced cyclist but I do not enjoy riding on busy roads or in traffic. The meals were ample and enjoyable. It was so nice to come back from a ride and have a 3-4 course meal ready for you at dinner. The staff were lovely, attentive, and professional. The Prima Donna was our vessel. Very clean and comfortable. Large bathrooms, good water pressure, and temperature. It is important to look at the maps provided when you attend the route briefing. Keep questions to a minimum and directed toward route information. The bike I had was a pedal with electric assist and my 1st time using e assist. Great bike with comfy saddle, good gear shifting, brakes and panniers provided. Riding near Vienna was very busy on the bike paths. Stopping at a cafe when you see one on any ride, is worth stopping and enjoying the rest and good beer or coffee. My first ever “cruise” and it was just the type of experience I had hoped. We were a group of friends and siblings, and 12 of us. Great time.

The bike and boat along the Moselle River was beautiful. The boat, the Magnifique III was spacious and comfortable and crew happy and very helpful. The bikes were well maintained and easy to ride. The stops were well planned and the guides informative. one guide, Hetty, was exceptional. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable. The dining was plentiful, varied and very good.

The vegan meals. The bike routes were great. The guide was accommodating and the group was able to stay together.

excellent trip to get a taste of southern Dalmatia and the islands. E bikes are definitely recommended, and make the trip more relaxed and enjoyable. Our guides Tara and Hjrove were friendly, knowledgeable and communicated well. Tara arranged a wine tasting for some of us at our request, and they were creative and flexible when our itinerary changed due to the weather. we definitely will come back and spend more time on each island.

The Sept 2025 tour on the Moselle was my third trip using Tripsite.com. The first two were on the Danube and the Po (Italy).

Love the enduring beauty and grandeur of Europe (especially its architecture and art), and, in that regard, the Moselle experience was first-rate. That said, a few minor concerns tempered my overall assessment of this latest trip.

The boat experience (aboard the MS Olympia) was generally comfortable, the staff very accommodating and the food excellent; however, a significant build-up of mould in my cabin's shower stall was a concern, as was a pervasive "machine oil" smell coming from the cabin's A/C-Heating vent. And I was disappointed that, while my experience aboard the "Vivienne" (on the Danube) and aboard the "Vita Pugna" (on the Po) featured complimentary coffee dispensing machines available to guests on a 24-hour basis, no such machine was available on the "Olympia". Save for the breakfast meal and the late-afternoon "coffee and cake" serving, any coffee requested was charged to my cabin. I'm not a big coffee drinker, but the generally cool and rainy conditions experienced on the Moselle cried out for the occasional supplementary cup of coffee . . . which I didn't welcome having to pay for! A small problem, to be sure, but irritating nonetheless.

Lastly, I was impressed with the evident knowledge and politeness of the on-board Cycling Tour Guide; however, his "minimalist" briefings (ahead of the day's cycling) were of limited value. Whereas previous trips had featured detailed and informative briefings of considerable value and interest to cyclists with no familiarity with the routes, the morning briefings on "Olympia" were bare-bones affairs that would have benefitted from a more fulsome explanation of the cycling routes, what to look out for, what sectors could be confusing and might lead one astray, etc. To be clear, there was never any danger of getting "lost" whilst cycling; however, with some parts of the route(s) being poorly signed, some additional cautionary comments and advisories would likely have helped some of the guests with their navigation of the route.

The above comments are acknowledged to be relatively inconsequential; however, I thought I'd take the time to pass them along. Overall, a good trip and one that was worth the time and expense.

Thank you!

Met some very nice fellow passengers during the trip. Crew was very professional.
