Europe Bike & Hotel Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 1839

Enjoyed the trip. Last 3 days were the most scenic rides. Tripsite and the local tour operator were easy to deal with.
My only suggestion is to make the downloadable maps available for offline use sooner. The first maps did not correspond to our itinerary and were confusing. When we finally got the right maps it was right before the trip started making it difficult for many in the group.

Awesome trip. Really enjoyed biking along the Portuguese coast.
We had 6 on our trip, 3 e-bikers and 3 human powered bikes. The human powered bikers were able to keep pace with the e-bikes except for the steep hills. It turns out that the cobblestone streets and dirt trails are self limiting on the speed of e-bikes.

The Torre do Rio and Parador de Baiona hotels were the highlight of the trip.

I had some frustrations:
1. The Ride with GPS directions did not match the GPS device directions
2. The GPS device directions were wrong for the boat crossing and no advanced warning that the boat launch location may differ was given.
3. The route lead you to paths that were clearly marked as bicycles prohibited
4. The elevation gain numbers did not match across any of the literature. It was off by hundreds of meters depending on where you looked.

We had no previous experience with a bike tour. We really appreciated the guided aspect of this tour and Sergio and Pedro were excellent guides. We chose the e-bikes because of the flexibility it provided to make our riding as easy or as difficult as we wanted. We recognized that some in our group chose regular bikes and adjusted our riding on the steep inclines knowing it would take them longer to get to the rest stop and cheered them on as we waited for them. The scenery is so stunning and made ride that much more enjoyable. All the hotels were excellent and the food was all wonderful. Each city we stopped in was beautiful. The only suggestion we would make is to make less stops along the Camino and get to the hotel around 3pm each day. That way, even if the rooms are not ready people can can go have lunch and then return to check in and relax before dinner and site seeing.

This tour is well planned and offers a intetestung cross section of the Costa Brava And inland areas. We chose th spend an extra night in two of the stops which enabled us to take those areas in instead of just pass through. Really enjoyed that.

We had a great week with lots of delicious local foods and wines. Our guides did a great job facilitating everything and provided good information. The accommodations we memorable, especially the two farms where we did cooking classes. The biking was very manageable with the high quality e-bikes. Lots of local sites and history food and wines!

Albania is beautiful! The route is amazing and challenging but the guide was very unprofessional. Hence the reason for only 2 stars.

The terrain made this a difficult and technical ride. The word ‘easy’ should not be included in the description.
Also I thought the group size, 21, was too big. It is listed as an e-bike tour but 6 people elected to ride regular bikes, which caused problems on the steep uphill portions.
Except for Porto, the hotels were very nice but we didn’t get much time to enjoy them. There were too many stops during the day but mainly for snacks (provided), rarely did we stop for an actual lunch.

excellent trip - hotels - eletric bike - routes - equipaments - we had lucky only sunny days. april 2026

Stopping at the cheese farm was amazing! Even though it was cold, breezy & occasionally rainy, if you have the correct gear you're good. Tim & Hetty were amazing guides. Always compassionate & ready to change course if needed.Barge was lovely. Snacks awaiting our return each day. All the staff were kind & helpful.

We had a great time on this trip – there were six of us – all riding electric bikes – we were all impressed with the quality of the bikes and there were no breakdowns or flats! The route took us up the scenic coastline and then inland through fields of green littered with baby lambs, ducklings and goslings, calves and colts! It was spring time in Holland! Most of the route is on bike paths, is completely flat, and has beautiful scenery.

We opted for Category A accommodations and all the hotels were great with delicious breakfasts. The luggage transfer was smooth each day and was always there before we arrived. The Guido app got us right to our hotels very day with the exception of a couple of detours where Google Maps helped out. The logistics of this tour were excellent.

I have taken five tours through Tripsite and once again I was very impressed with the partner company chosen and tour provided. Would definitely recommend this tour to others considering biking in the Netherlands.

Everything was top notch. The quaint hotel in a charming little French village had great accommodations. The grounds were beautiful. Breakfast included meats and cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads and croissants. Very hearty meal before heading out to ride. The evening meals were varied and all prepared by the restaurant's chef. We enjoyed every meal and the interaction with the staff. Claudia, our host, fitted us for our bikes and met with us each morning after breakfast to go over the routes. She was very thorough and we had no trouble finding our way. The routes were spectacular as they traversed the French countryside with beautiful views and a couple were Tour de France routes. Recommendations for lunch stops were excellent and we enjoyed meeting the local residents. Even though our trip was self--guided, Claudia was always a phone call away if needed. Will definitely return again.

Great trip and unexpected pleasure with different restaurants and sights. Highly recommended! Bikes were in top shape and luggage was always delivered as expected.

I think this trip was rated easy to moderate, but due to some difficult terrain it was hard at times and seemed somewhat dangerous. I wasn’t aware before the trip that more than 50% of the terrain would be off road biking. I could cope with it but many of those on the trip found it difficult to manage at times.
The tour leaders were excellent but the mix of non electric bike amongst the electric bikes could also be difficult at times. Several members of the tour mentioned that if they knew beforehand what the riding would be like they would not have taken this trip. It should be made very clear what the cyclist should expect. Some days seemed longer than necessary due to many frequent stops for coffee and restrooms which meant we had little to no time to enjoy the nice towns we were staying in. All hotels were great except for the first night in Porto which was in a strange part of town away from the bike garage(long walks needed to get there) and the unfriendly staff on the front desk.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing and wonderful. I wouldn’t change a thing!!! First, if you’re going to bike in a foreign country you can’t beat the Netherlands. The tour really took you through the most beautiful countryside and the lovely small Dutch towns away from the heavy tourist spots. Technically, the GPS guidance was needed and perfect. We’ll be back :)

A wonderful immersive tour of the heart of Portugal. Great biking, beautiful landscapes, cooking classes. The accommodations were great as was the food. Interesting tours (cathedrals, caves, cork factory, cactus farm). Everyone everywhere went was so inviting and hospitable. We had an amazing guide who made sure we had an amazing tour. It was truly a great and memorable trip and left us feeling we had truly experienced Portugal. This trip left us wanting to return to further explore Portugal.

This trip was absolutely incredible. I went on it with my brother and grandmother and we had a wonderful time. The routes are beautiful and well-picked, as well as the hotels and bikes. I highly recommend this trip if you’re in the Netherlands and it was so much fun!

Outstanding! Beautiful scenery everywhere: wonderful towns, hotels, and meals. For a 74yrnokd grandma and her two teenage grandsons it was a perfect mix of challenge without exhaustion. Navigating was easy with detours easily found when we experienced a flat tire. My only complaint is that we didn’t have enough time in some towns. I’d like to take the tour again a day between certain cities in order to explore. Because we didn’t know how long it would take us to get from place to place we didn’t take advantage of some of the off route towns and sites.

Excellent bike and boat tour… beautiful scenery, comfortable boat, excellent onboard service, with top-notch cuisine!!! I highly recommend this experience!!!

My stay in the Loire Valley was very satisfactory. The arrangement of staying in a single hotel while visiting the region's iconic castles provided a high level of comfort and convenience. To ensure constant connectivity and to manage my travel logistics between sites, I relied on WingReserve.com website. This approach is an excellent option for those looking to explore French heritage at a steady and well-organized pace.
