Europe Bike & Hotel Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 1878

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.

I especially liked having a second day at a resort so that you could take a look around a place and explore islands. It still meant that you had plenty of time cycling while you looked around.
The journey from Faaborg to Svendborg by ferry was very good as you cycled the island of Aero from port to port. It was a pity you only got one night in Nyborg as it would have been great to cycle the Great Belt Bridge.
On the downside you were given a map to find your way. Through a city at the start? Your mobile phone was a much better option but you need a phone holder which is not supplied. In fact it was the third day before all the things that were supposed to be supplied were made available. The bike itself was a heavy German mountain bike so not up to date and not the most suitable for the flat terrain but it was in full working order.
All the hotels were good but Nyborg Strand and Best Western Hotel Faaborg were excellent.
The weather was really good with blue skies and little cloud. Nice breeze to keep you fresh while cycling and temperatures mid twenties. The heat wave that had been taking temperatures up to the forty mark in Germany and France arrived on the last day so a morning’s travel was best before the high heat arrived. Swiftly followed by thunderstorms.
A great holiday in beautiful Danish coastal countryside despite my issues with the cycle.
Like the rest of Scandinavia it’s not cheap!

This tour was spectacular, but yes a bit challenging. Even with e-bikes, there were a few 10% grade climbs that some of us had to walk up. We loved the variation of the routes (quiet roads, bike lanes, gravel/dirt paths) and scenery (lakes, rivers small towns). We especially enjoyed the small towns of Zug and Einsiedeln. The hotels were fine, with excellent breakfasts. You should know that only 2 of the 7 hotels had AC, and of the 5 that didn't, only 2 had fans. This was challenging during a heat wave. I do understand that this is Europe and it wasn't that big a deal. My other feedback is that the GPX routes occasionally did not match the information in the literature given. Day 5 of biking from Einsiedeln to Zug was especially problematic and required some rerouting on our part. Please redo these GPX files.

Denmark is a nice country to visit. Most individuals working in the hospitality industry speak English which makes it easy to travel around the country as a tourist. Also, the Danish people are polite and pleasant. The five-day bicycle tour was well-planned with good service at the beginning and the end of the tour. The route was not difficult and not too long. The GPS map on the app made navigation quite easy. The route passed many interesting towns and attractions. The hotels along the route were high-quality hotels. Very nice bicycle trip!
One suggestion to improve the trip would be to select hotels near the center of town instead of away from town. The hotels near Elsingor and Roskilde were 4 km from the center of those towns which made it difficult to eat dinner in those towns. Moreover there were no restaurants or bars near those hotels and, as such, the travelers are compelled to eat at the designated hotels.

This was our 5th Tripsite experience!
We loved Bruges to Amsterdam!
The scenery was great because the bike trails offered that. The people we encountered in Holland & Bruges were all very friendly & informative if we had any questions.
I celebrated my 70th birthday the last day of our trip in Amsterdam! A great way to enter my 70th year! We are looking forward to planning our next trip with Tripsite … they have never failed with any of our beautiful bike trip experiences!

We've wanted to do this tour for several years and really happy we did it! Getting to see Emilia Romagna by bike is perfect. The smaller cities like Modena and Parma are great places to stop along the way. In fact we liked them more than Bologna itself. Hotels along the route were overall good. The bikes and assistance between hotels were likewise excellent. The only issue was that the hotel outside of Reggio is really in the middle of nowhere. Nice hotel. Bad location. So if you don't plan ahead, getting dinner or a taxi is very difficult. Some heads up on that would've been appreciated.

If you like riding in the countryside and seeing some of the less "famous" parts of Italy, this is a great tour. Plus the two visits to see Balsamic vinegar being made and the same with Parmigiana Reggiano were really special too.

Towns and route good, tour company great, breakfast and hotel quality very good
