Bike Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 1639

We just finished the Baltics bike tour and it was fantastic! We signed up at kinda the last minute but the Tripsite staff was responsive and fast. The local company was awesome. Every detail was planned and executed flawlessly. We had a big group (13 guided and about the same unguided, who shared the bus and stayed at same hotel) and there were no hotel issues, check-in always went fast, rooms were always as booked, start times and meeting times were always well communicated The guide Lina was absolutely the best we’ve had on a bike tour. She was able to control a large diverse crowd with ease, always a positive attitude, and full of local history and personal stories she shared with us. She made what was an excellent tour into and absolutely outstanding tour. The driver/bike mechanic Rolandus was also full of positive energy and hard-working. There was nothing negative from start to finish, even the weather cooperated.

I loved everything about this tour. The pre planned routes were great and very doable in daylight hours. The hotels were from good to awesome! The breakfast was a big plus every morning. I had downloaded the “ride with gps” app but found it wasn’t easy to use and switched to the “Komoot” app as per the advice of other travellers. The ride was “mostly” flat as advertised EXCEPT for the ride from Bregenz to St. Gallen - which was a trek up a mountain, a train ride up higher, then the ride down into St Gallen. The vistas were incredible & I totally enjoyed every minute of it BUT, some of the people on this tour who weren’t aware of this elevation were not happy about that specific ride. The luggage was always at the next destination when we arrived and when I forgot something in my hotel, I chatted with the trip site agent & they retrieved it and it was at reception when I arrived - excellent customer service!

Great trip, well planned and well organized. Make sure you have a good cell plan and battery power. I was thinking the bikes had maps on bike computers, but we needed the app on our cell phone to navigate. So you also want a good case to hold your phone on the bike so you can see the screen. The bike route is easy to follow and beautiful. Some of the hotels are a little far from the city centre, but very convenient for the bike paths and for the beach sections of the trip. Luggage transfer hotel to hotel was flawless. Having off street parking for the bikes also added to the quality of the trip.

The route was gorgeous, filled with interesting landmarks, museums, castles and natural beauty.
It was easy cycling and the accommodations were fantastic! Highly recommend.

Nice trip and good service. Perfect bed & breakfast. Trip went tru nice nature.

Most of the paths were clearly marked and well travelled. Accommodations were nice and the breakfasts were good. Staff was quick to respond to any questions I had and were professional. I would recommend this tour to others.

Bruges to Amsterdam Bicycle Trip
I can’t recommend this trip highly enough—it’s a truly unforgettable experience. The bike trails in Belgium and the Netherlands are exceptional, offering a picturesque ride through beautiful countryside.

Our journey lasted seven days, with six days of riding. We spent an extra day in Bruges at the start and two extra days in Amsterdam at the end. The cycling route took us from Bruges, Belgium, to Middelburg in the Netherlands on day one, followed by stops in Zierikzee, Willemstad, Papendrecht, Gouda, and finally Amsterdam. Most of the ride wound through the Dutch countryside, with stunning views at every turn. We chose the A-level hotels. All accommodations were excellent. Breakfast was included and excellent at every stop.

Arriving in Amsterdam was an adventure in itself. By then we were grateful for five days of practice with the bikes—and with Dutch cycling culture—because biking in Amsterdam is intense. With bicycles being the primary mode of transportation, the bike traffic is constant and fast-paced.

Our group consisted of four riders, ages 76, 72, 70, and 32. Three of us started with e-bikes, while the lone standard cyclist switched to an e-bike by day three. We had hoped for tailwinds by traveling from Bruges to Amsterdam, but instead faced headwinds every single day—making e-bikes an invaluable choice.

The trip covered just over 200 miles. We rode more than 40 miles on two days, about 26 miles on one day, and in the 30-mile range on the other three.

Tips and Recommendations:
• Phone holder: Bring one for your mobile phone. The navigation app is essential, and you’ll want your phone mounted securely.
• Navigation: Before your first ride you’ll receive maps and route details, and you’ll need to download GUIBO, the navigational app used for the trip. It’s excellent—providing real-time, detailed route guidance. On days with route options, you can select your preference directly in the app.
• Bikes: The rental e-bikes were well-used but reliable. We had no mechanical issues or battery problems during the trip. If you’re accustomed to using mirrors, consider purchasing handlebar clip-on mirrors in advance, since the rentals didn’t have them.
• Ferries: Some routes require short ferry or water-bus rides. While most accepted contactless payments (Apple Pay or credit card), it’s wise to carry a little cash since not all ferries do.

All in all, this was an amazing trip—scenic, well-organized, and absolutely worth doing.

Biking experience was awesome. Any person can ride an electric bike but our guide made the trip so comfortable

Just finished this trip and it was a stellar experience. beautiful state, nice people and the tour was amazing. Everything was taken care of.. we just had to ride thru beautiful scenery, eat really good food and stay at these darling inns. Perfect locations for daily rides, picnic along the coast and the guides were knowledgeable about their state, very patient and just fun nice people. highly recommend. !!!

The trip from Bruges to Amsterdam was outstanding. The countryside in Belgium was beautiful. The bike paths were all safe, wide, and well marked. Arriving in Amsterdam during Friday rush hour was a bit of a challenge but not overly stressful. The accommodations were all very nice and centrally located in the towns/villages with the exception of Dordrecht.
We have recommended this trip to 3 different groups since we got back and they are all very interested.

Our cycling holiday in Austria was simply wonderful! Everything was perfectly organized: the carefully chosen routes, the spectacular landscapes along the Danube, the comfortable accommodations, and the excellent bikes. We felt pampered and couldn’t wait each day to discover the next chosen location. A heartfelt thank you to the organizing company for their professionalism and attention to detail — thanks to them, we had an unforgettable experience, our very first of this kind. Because of them, we’re already looking forward to repeating such adventures in the future

The small towns we visited were awesome! Each one had their own flavor! We found great restaurants and quaint bars to visit every where we went. The company was VERY accommodating when we wanted to change our biking plan. I would highly recommend them! The GPS was easy to follow, we appreciated the food and site suggestions, and the hotels we stayed in along the way were top notch!

It was a great trip overall. We loved that part of the route also went inland a little through villages etc.

It would be great to have more lunch/food options marked on the maps and how to make sure they are open.

We also noticed that on the last bike day parting the route was over a blocked off and hard to ride dike so we were forced to find our way around via a main road.

It was well organized as nd we would do something similar again.

It was a wonderful experience, the landscape, villages and all the trip was great. You can enjoy every part of the road. Is important to be fit because you can find hills and some days you have to be able to make 70 km but when you arrive to the town the first thought was: is worthy.
The routes are well designed, the bike in good condition so all you need is to enjoy.
I recommended so much if you love the nature and the history!
Thanks to the team of tripsite!

The tour was exactly as explained. It was absolutely beautiful. The company that worked with us when in Sweden was awesome! Highly recommend.

Very easy to follow as Belgium and Holland are sooo geared up for cyclists.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Organisation was seamless.

Seeing the poppy fields in bloom was best part. Worst was map book not matching gps file for first few directions of isle de sorgue to st. Remy ride. Hotel in St. Remy was excellent.

Bruges was a very cool city, lots of culture and beautiful architecture. The paths were well laid out and easy to follow.

We loved the carriage roads and all of the riding in Acadia National Park. Although every day’s rides were wonderful!

One of our favorite vacations of all time. The route, although complex in some parts, was easy enough to follow using a special app (as mentioned by TripSite in pre-trip email). The tour sent us winding through beautiful farm country, tranquil villages, historic towns and some nice attractions along the way. And the e-bikes we rented had plenty of power and range so that the riding was effortless and we could add on extra distance without worrying about the battery running out.

The hotels they put us up at were fantastic as were the breakfasts. Overall it was a flawless trip and we look forward to do another trip next year

We had a great experience on this trip! We chose the Standard hotel package, and overall the accommodations were excellent. Here's where we stayed:

Prague – Hotel DAP

Melnik – Pension U Zámku

Litomerice – Pension Dubina

Decin – Hotel Česká Koruna

Bad Schandau/Krippen – Hotel Erbgericht

Dresden – Hotel Martha

Our favorite stops were Prague and Melnik. Prague was incredibly clean, walkable, and felt very safe. Hotel DAP is about half a mile from Prague Castle, and walking to the main sites was easy and enjoyable.

Melnik is a charming little wine town perched above a valley, and sipping local wine right next to the vines it came from—while enjoying that view—was a definite highlight.

The one hotel we didn’t love was in Krippen. To be fair, it was raining that day and we didn’t feel like taking the ferry into Bad Schandau, but the hotel itself felt a bit dated and in need of some updates.

As for the biking: the Czech bike paths vary quite a bit. One minute you’re on a smooth trail, the next you're riding along a road with traffic, a dirt path, or a bumpy gravel section. The terrain is also hillier than expected, and sometimes you don’t get much notice before a climb.

We’re in our mid-30s, not regular cyclists but pretty active (we’re runners), and we did the tour on standard bikes. There were definitely a few hills where we had to hop off and walk the bikes. The standard bikes were a bit heavy and could have used some chain lube and a tune up. If that doesn’t sound ideal, I’d recommend going with the e-bike option for a smoother ride.

Weather-wise, we got lucky—just a little rain, and temps were mild overall. Most hotels didn’t have AC, so it got a bit stuffy at night, but opening a window helped.

All in all, we loved the tour and highly recommend it. The scenery, towns, and experiences made it a trip we’ll always remember.

Great hotels
Beautiful country side
Good bikes
Special vouchers

Beautiful scenery and villages to visit. We had a wonderful holiday. Everything was organised well and went smoothly.
We were met on the first day by Petra who made sure our ride with GPS had downloaded correctly, and who advised us about places to visit and restaurants to go to.
Paulo then came along with excellent bikes, which worked perfectly for us for the week.
Given the poor state of the roads, we would recommend gravel bikes and NOT road bikes for this trip.

Feedback:
1. The WhatsApp group were very good & followed up any issues or queries
2. The bike handover was a bit tricky as Simon had limited English & apart from bike matters didn’t seem fully versed in addressing some initial queries by someone that had never done a self guided bike tour
3. Inappropriate bike hire: the Agogs City Liner e-bike was ergonomically unsuitable for a bike tour of over 800km.
The seat angle & the handle bars meant I was very upright. It was uncomfortable.
A more appropriate style is that of a touring bike configuration, in which you are leaning forward and able to propel easily & with comfort.
4.Having 2 app’s - Ride GPS & Trip Plans a bit tedious to go in & out of for directions & guidance plus more draining on phone
5. An overnight in any large city is not enough time. A suggestion that 2 nights be factored into itinerary for say Vienna.

The guides’ flexibility and attention to detail. The food, group dynamics, and the area we toured. There was a snafu at the hotel for the add on pre and post trip nights. Staff , Wilma, was exceptionally helpful.

Coastal section were great. Interiors were a litte repetative farm lands. Hotel quality was great. However most hotels were a couple miles outside of the town center and on hills. After spending a day on the bike, we were not up for another ride to go to dinner or see the sites. Hotels closer to the center of the action in each town would be better. Logistics and bikes were good. Oveall great way to see Denmark.

We had the most wonderful group of people on this tour. Our guide, Mateo, and back up vehicle driver, Klodian, took such great care of us, making sure we didn't have to lift a finger. The bikes were in great condition - Liv & Giant. The route was well planned and we road through beautiful scenery, lots of undulating hills and distances never more than we could manage in a day. All of the accommodation was great, the food was just amazing... never a bad meal, and the Albanian people are just wonderful. I would highly recommend this tour.

Biking together in the countryside of Italy along with stopping at the towns small piazzas .

Klarà, our principal guide was awesome! She was always handy, solved all issues with a big smile on her face. Martin and Toni also very good but they left us in Vienna. Fine scenery, hotels, food, weather, etc...

Only one pitfall: we got other 2 guides after Vienna. One of them did not have a guide attitude, one example: the group that do not speak the local language was struggling to make the other in a restaurant and he was not helpful at all, he just got a beer for himself and walked out of the place.
