Europe Bike + Boat Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 4930

Our bike and barge trip from Venice to Mantova was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Each day’s ride was beautifully planned, with amazing scenery, charming towns, and just the right balance of activity and relaxation. The daily stops gave us such a rich taste of Italian culture, history, and countryside life.

The food on board was fabulous — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — truly a highlight of the trip. Accommodations were excellent, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained throughout the journey.

Most of all, the guides and entire crew were exceptional. Their knowledge, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm brought everyone together and created such a fun, friendly atmosphere among the group.

This was an unforgettable adventure. It was perfectly organized, wonderfully led, and deeply memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to experience Italy!

This is my 5th bike & barge vacation and by far the best. Koen and Christina have an exquisite ship. Every detail has been addressed with function and thought.

The food was perfect. Cabin was so comfortable. I really appreciated every detail.

But the best part was the crew on the merlijn. Thomas the guide knew the ins and outs of the villages. He was able to direct my daughter to a great bakery in each village. Cat made sure we were taken care of in the galley. Always with a big smile. It was amazing how quickly he knew everyone’s name.

Each day we had enought stops to make the ride easy on the tosh. Espresso stop, lunch stop, afternoon stop and just a few get the blood back stops.

Rising along the Main river was great. The paths along the river were pleasant. Only a couple times were we on roads with cars. Luckly minimal cars.

I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Holland is a beautiful country with amazing farmlands, and darling villages, all set with a back drop of amazing canals and waterways and bike paths. We used big ferries to cross canals, we used small little bike ferries for smaller canals. We met so many warm and welcoming people and ate at quaint cafes on the water, and outdoor restaurants in the cities. It was a truly magical experience.
The boat, the Normandie, was a beautiful boat with a large sundeck and outdoor area in the shade. It had a lovely salon, an extensive bar, and great meals. The staff was friendly and helpful with with the bikes and the rides every day, and the meals and any needs on the boat.

We had an excellent time on the tour. The sites we great, biking path was paved, food and the care on the Iris was excellent.
Biking on the city bridges were not always easy. A little scary with the traffic. Loved the e-bike. Would definitely go on another bike and barge trip.

The crew, the meals, Francesco was an excellent guide.
Accommodation was great.

The magnificent boat including cabins.
Memorable and challenging bike rides.
Excellent guides and captain.
Beautiful islands and villages.

All great islands and rides. Our guide, crew , chef and captain all wonderful.

The scenery and views were amazing! As was the camaraderie on the ship. Our guides did a wonderful job and were cognizant of and attentive to everyone's needs and interest.

My husband and I loved every minute of this bike and barge trip with Tripsite. The Swiss Crown is a beautiful ship equipped with lovely spacious rooms, lovely dining room and seating area and hot tub on the top level. The meals surpassed our expectations! From surf and turf to local cuisine. Each day the crew greeted us and looked after everything from room cleaning, expert dining experience, loading and unloading our bikes, presenting each day's travel suggestions, and offering fun nightly activities. Seriously, could not have been better. We have travelled extensively but this is the first time we did a bike and barge, and it won't be the last. We met wonderful people and experienced the countryside in a whole different way than by car or bus. It is a unique experience.

Do many things, the biking was amazing, the views and infrastructure and routes were exceptional. The staff was phenomenal and the chef made the best food from all other river cruises. We enjoyed the evening entertainment alot.

I loved this tour. The biking was easy, beautiful, and enough exercise that I felt I could eat lots of the delicious food onboard. The workers on board were helpful and friendly and they seemed to honestly enjoy their job and the visitors onboard.

We had such an amazing time, it's hard to pin down one thing that made the trip. Our guides, Srdan, Ana and Marco were fantastic. Such great attitudes, able to combine fun with professionalism. The crew on the San Snova were top notch. Always on top of everything to make sure it went smoothly. And then there is the scenery! Unbelievable.
Things to remember to bring- shampoo, lotion, etc. If you have an e-bike, they don't have water bottle cages or mounts so bring a handlebar cage if you like having access to water during the ride. At the end of September, the weather changes quickly. The beginning of the trip was in the 80s and a week later the temps were in the low 60s. And now that I've told you to pack lots of clothes, the rooms are small and don't have a ton of space. We had duffle bags that were able to fit under the beds.

The guides a staff aboard Bellezza were amazing and accommodating. We so enjoyed our trip, especially biking the islands. What a great way to see everything in slow motion.

The first day and last day of biking were beautiful. The route the other days weren’t as nice.
The boat staff were wonderful and the food was delicious.
Only downside was having to be on the boat for a certain time as the boat moved all night long. I prefer the tours when the boat moves as we bike and stays in port all night. Nice for after dinner walk in towns.

The Tripsite staff were wonderful - Adem, Matin & Ibo were attentive, informative and made each day a real adventure. The Nevra Queen exceeded our expectations and was an amazing boat to be on for this trip! The bikes were very comfortable, the food was delicious and we learned so much about all of the sights we visited. I wasn't sure what to expect on this trip, but it was fabulous and we had a wonderful time!

Meeting people from around the world on the boat. Also the staff on the boat was fantastic very accommodating and helpful.

Beautiful scenery , routes and excellent coffee stops. Peter and Hans were excellent tour guides, chef Liam was outstanding and the support staff were great. Only suggestions would be to improve the quality of the bikes and a few more snacks after the rides . Pack gloves for your rides especially on fall trips
All in all our favorite bike trip

Beautiful boat lobby and cabins. Rooftop deserves more time spent there. Front bar has lovely views. River tour of Budapest nightlights is fabulous. Bikes are excellent . 3/6 days we had to dock late because another boat was in our spot? Therefore we rarely had time to sightsee or make cafe’ stops during our bike days. I don’t understand this. Late September is perhaps not the best time for this tour?

We loved our time on the Magnifiique Ii. Guides Han’s and Peter were excellent. Beautiful countryside but very busy cities. Great trip!

Biking and meeting nice people.great food and staff. Very clean as well.

Coming down the Seine and seeing the Eiffel Tower from the boat was great.

Wonderful tour. Experienced 3 day self guided portion. Barge crew was great. Georgio was very knowledgeable anout local area. He was an exceptional guide. Felt very comfortable asking questions.

Guides were great. Trip was very educational. Side tours were great even in the rain. Would to have more time to spend in each city. One day is just not enough to enjoy the local flavors.

The 2 guides on our Bike and Barge, Peter and Hans were absolutely fantastic and they were the difference in making this a wonderful memorable journey.

Staff and food and organization and accommodations! and of course itinerary
