Bike & Hotel Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 1812

I really enjoyed the Prague-Krakow tour: I had the blessing of meeting an outstanding group of Aussies who bécame family during the trip . We cycled many smooth lanes and visited countless rural Villages. The hotels were very good and the off the beaten track suggestions were worth the visit . Poland was my first time visit and it was lovely to do it by bike . I felt in love with the country , its respectful people willing to help you Albeit the language barrier, their valúes , their history. Poland is an absolute fem. Thank you Tripsite for making it happen

This was a memorable tour specially the first part of the tour Prague Vienna
The roads and scenery was incredible, the logistics, hotels and cycle paths were unvelievable
Most of the time between cedar forests and beautiful castels
Perhaps one of he best trips in my life and I've done a lot
Congratulations to the operators, since everything was perfect and I would like to hear more about Cheq republic Eslovaquia and Austria
Special thanks for this superb trip

Loved the charming and ornate small towns especially Telc and biking in Moravia during fall wine harvest to palaces in Valtice and Lednice. Would highly recommend an e-bike because the hills were long and many steep. Premium accommodations were always good and available when we rolled into town even when earlier than check in time. Support personnel (Lucas,Klara, and others) were fabulous and always answered our questions quickly and offered suggestions such as swapping last 2 days so we didn’t miss the UNESCO sites in Valtice and Lednice when we decided to go directly to Vienna on last day. We often took suggested shorter routes but found them still to be challenging (hilly!!) but e-bikes helped a lot. Loved the countryside fields and cool forests. One in our self- guided group did not have an e-bike but managed the hills with a lot of effort and some stopping to take a break. Would highly recommend but caution there are lots of hills and often share road with cars, albeit less traveled roads.

The lake is beautiful. The small town and medium sized towns had plenty of choices for food and great locations to eat near the water. My one complaint is that the itinerary doesn’t describe the actual route well or the miles traveled per day. Each day of the 7 day tour was 30+ miles. This didn’t leave much time for exploring the area. We were a group looking for an easy ride and while the trail is mostly flat, the distance for a beginner rider is a lot. We also had to find our own gps bike routes and this led to some confusion. This was the responsibility of the in country bike company. The bikes were all very good.

The scenery was special..Route gave a taste of the lakes , towns & cities and uplands without being a very difficult cycling experience

My two favorite components of this tour were the stunning views & the cozy intimate meals spent with old & new friends. This tour was like no other, it was the perfect way to experience Chile for the first time. I am convinced that exploring Chile through a culinary journey is the best choice for any traveler. This tour in particular allows you to experience the culture first hand, never did I feel like a tourist on this trip. I promise you will not come home the same as you left.

The scenery was so beautiful and the trip was well planned, Our back up van driver Igor was so helpful and kind, He worked so hard to make the trip perfect. Haviing never vacation in the Baltics, we were swept away by it's beauty, and peacefulness. Not huge crowds, beautiful bike paths, delicious foods, and very helpful residents. We would definitely recommend this tour. We are in our 80's and have taken over 20 tours with Tripsite, and have never been dissatisfied.

Reichenau and the subsequent ferry trip across the lake, as well as the ride/train ride towards the Alps both stand out.

How could I ride a bicycle across this wonderful region and gain two pounds over the course of the week?

The food is a star attraction, of course -- from the lasagna Bolognese, to the fried gnocchi (with the region's famous prosciutto), to the parmigiano reggiano and true balsamic vinegars (both tasted on brilliant tours included!), and to the culatello and other delicacies of Parma. (I even took a pasta-making class in Parma with an excellent teacher in her centuries-old home.)

But the cities and the people are stars too. I'm not a super-big fan of churches, but the cathedrals in Bologna, Modena, and Parma are stunning, as are the surrounding neighborhoods -- clean, safe, good shopping. Italians are known for friendliness, but I've visited large parts of the country and I think it's fair to say the people of the Emilia region are the friendliest. Go into any place, offer a warm greeting ("Bongiorno" or "Salve"), show a little curiosity, and people will shower you with affection. I visited a pub in Modena famous for its beer selection, and other customers wouldn't let me pay.

I did the "self-guided" version of the trip, which worked out well because the GPS tracks were excellent, but my selection of dates (over which I didn't have much control) could have been better. The first week of August is always hot, and temps during my ride reached 100-104 F (39-40 C) each day. I still had a blast because I paced myself, hugged shady trees, and drank lots of water. More importantly, the design of this tour is excellent -- with two nights at each stop. That allowed "optional rides" on off-days, but for me, it offered days of rest and rehydration (and chances to try more foods).

This is a very good trip, arranged by an excellent company with good staff, good bicycles and good communications (in case of emergency). A group ride in cooler temperatures would have been good, but I still had a great time.

Scenery is outstanding and tour guides and coordinator were great. We enjoyed our time with our group cycling through this beautiful country and enjoying gourmet dinners each night. Some hotels were lacking amenities but that was a small price to pay for biking through quaint, beautiful small villages along the fjords.

We especially enjoyed the routes and the small villages where we stayed.

The bike ride from Saint Emilion to Bergerac was magical. The bike path was car-free and protected and the scenery was stunning.

Suggestions:
- Leave early in the morning so you have time to eat a leisurely lunch along the way and then explore the next town
- Bring an extra water bottle so you always have a backup
- Bring biking sunglasses (that block the wind) and gloves

I really enjoyed the trip. The accomodation was good, the bike was good and the navigation app worked well although a bit quirky a couple of times.
My trip was during the heat wave so made the days challenging. The trip was more hilly than I expected. Combined with the heat I found that leaving at sunrise was the best way to survive. I missed hotel breakfast with this plan and didn’t feel like stopping along the route. I did enjoy the destination towns though. Not much exploring on route due to the heat.
A great trip and met my expectations.

Memorable trip and the bikes worked out great. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking to see Portugal and experience it at a local level. Finding restaurants with exceptional food and seeing sights at a casual pace was the apart of the trip.

Such a beautiful route! We enjoyed the days along the big rivers, but the days passed the alpine lakes and through the mountains and the family farms were amazing. Wachau valley was phenomenal and cycling between the mountains was amazing.

Excelent trip, well prepare and when we had a problem with the bikes we recieved inmediat assistance .We enjoy the trip very mucha and everithing went well. Only coment: we had a dinner included in Sarlat and the restaurant try to ignore that was prepaid. At the end we pay half to avoid a bad moment

We loved so many things about this tour. The Comwell hotels in Roskilde and Helsingor (nearby) were fantastic places to stay with so many thoughtful spaces and absolutely stunning breakfasts. Using the app for navigation was easy and with very few exceptions the route was clear and easy to follow. We truly loved the Sweden day. Taking the ferry was a thrill and the ride was scenic and varied. We stopped to swim in Hoganas at the dock right before town and it was so much fun. Great trip overall. We look forward to doing more bike trips in the future and Denmark was a good staring place for us.

From top to bottom, everything was absolutely seamless. Communication was prompt throughout, our luggage transfer was precise and without issue, and the routes were masterfully crafted. We are already planning oiur next trip with Tripsite.

The Brugge to Amsterdam Bike Tour was very good overall. The route was excellent and the information about the sights, restaurants, bike shops etc. along the way was truly appreciated. Most of us used the travel app on their phones, while I used GPX files on my GPS. Both worked well for navigation. With only one exception (Dordrecht), the selection of hotels was very good. They were located well and allowed us to enjoy the local area after our ride (The hotel in Dordrecht was some distance from the old centre and restaurants). Our luggage was transported without issue from place to place. It didn't arrive until late afternoon one day (within the timeframe we were advised); moving it was trouble-free. All bikes were well-maintained. Although the bikes were adequately adjustable, the one-size-fits-all system meant that it wasn't ideal for three of us who are tall. The bike were heavy. Also, two of the helmets we rented didn't fit and we had no option to switch them.

We had a wonderful trip! The app worked very well while we were on the route. The one issue was it had a hard time mapping to the route. We looked at the possible locations to visit the night before to decide how we wanted to spend our time each day. We loved going to the art museum and eating at Bernhard's on the first day, but the Stift Engelszell monastery was a bit of a disappointment (but the cake was yummy). We never needed to ask for help. Linz was fun, loved having some time there. The Museum Lauriacum in Enns was fascinating and climbing the tower was worth it. Going to Wallsee was not worth it, a very steep hill to sit in a park. Greinburg castle did not take very long, but was fun and interesting. The Melk Abbey was beautiful, wished it wasn't raining so we could spend more time in the gardens. The wine tasting in Spitz was wonderful and I am so glad that the tour included it! We would not have planned it ourselves, and it was a great part of our trip through wine country. We did the hike in Durnstein and loved it! And Tulln was more interesting that we expected, with the tour of the theater. Overall, our bike trip was great and a highlight of our overall Central Europe adventure!

The entire the trip was great! the routes, the towns, hotels, everything excellent!

Amazing views, great locations for lunch breaks (especially near lakes), beautiful towns

Stunning scenery, private beaches, award-winning locations, an excellent variety of lodging, really fun less traveled routing, fantastic fuel from Portuguese food! This trip is very well designed and the hybrid Bikes provided did an excellent job from cobblestones to trails to roads to sand. Spot on descriptions of trail conditions, and options for what you would want to tackle or experience. This area is so rich in opportunity. Do not hesitate to stay extra days at any interesting locations or go off route to a special beach or site of interest. We did use WhatsApp and had excellent support even when we were just a little bit confused. Ride with GPS makes navigating so efficient. This trip is a pleasure with so many wonderful places to stop and relax, take pictures experience this stunning coastal area. Frankly, the Bicycle touring was superior to driving for so many reasons and for so many flowers, gardens, cute cats and photos. This Portuguese tour company again did an excellent job in every aspect of this tour.

This tour gave us lots to do, and lots to think about once we got home. Northern Zealand is beautiful, even when seen through lots and lots of rain. We were prepared for the rain with rain gear. We were not prepared for the impact that heavy rain (and one day with hail) would have on the unpaved sections of the tour. Most of the unpaved sections included large gravel pieces, and navigating though these areas was particularly difficult in the rain. In addition, one of our e-bikes quit working and so this person got to ride his heavier e-bike without the battery function for two days. He was eventually given a new bike, and a refund to make up for the inconvenience. We also think it would have been helpful to have a way to attach our phones to the handlebars so it was easier to hear and see the GPS directions. When it was raining and the phones had to be in the plastic covered attachment on the front, you couldn't see them. And when it was hot, the phones overheated in the plastic. I would say that the biggest positive surprise of the tour were the evening meals. We had opted for full board, and the dining experiences in the evening were amazing. The food was delicious and the presentation was beautiful.

A fantastic trip! Incredible views! Easy to navigate using the app. Beautiful hotels with excellent service! I loved it—a great first experience!

The mountain rides and time next to the Rur River were absolutely amazing! Even during an unexpected heatwave we found relief in the shady mountains and cool river.

This trip was fantastic, riding along beautiful coastlines, through forests and agricultural areas and small towns. Accommodations were excellent! We did the 13 day trip but stayed an extra night in two places to break up the ride and do a little more exploring, which I recommend. The local team were very supportive. We used e-bikes and they were in very good condition. Highly recommend this trip!

This was a great tour. We really enjoyed the trip. We are a fit couple in our 60's and this was our first bike tour. While the milage may sound daunting--averaging closer to 30 miles per day-- the ride is genreally flat and on well maintained bike paths. There are some hills and we had to walk the bikes now and again, but ultimately the ride was very do-able.

In general, expect to spend about 4 hours in the saddle each day.

The day in Hřensko was a real highlight, a short ride to get there, and a great hike in the national park.

Pirna, outside of Dresden, is a lovely small town--worth spending much of the day in, even if it means arriving in Dresden a bit late.

Tripsite did a great job helping us through the initial booking and answering questions before we started our ride.

This was a really fun and beautiful way to see small towns through the Elbe river valley, a chance to slow down and see ap a part of the world the many people just zoom past on the train.

Arriving in Santiago and seeing the amazing hotel booked. Was also cool following the guide through the villages.

The cycling infrastructure was fabulous. It was lovely to be able to ride through differing landscapes, not only along the coastline but further inland where we could enjoy the farms and their beautiful gardens and canals. We upgraded our accommodations and they were beautiful, particularly our hotel in Gouda. Our e-bikes were also a lot of fun. In the past, we usually chose to ride with normal bikes, but the e-bikes allowed us to get to our destination earlier so that we could explore. This is our fourth tour with Tripsite and we love planning with them as they are always very supportive and flexible. Thank you for an amazing trip.
