Europe Bike & Hotel Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 1775

Bernardo and Sonia were both fantastic. Bernardo created great routes each day with coffee stops in towns where we could explore a bit. Sonia made extraordinary picnics each day. The dinner venues, cuisine, and service were extraordinary. They both anticipated our needs and catered to every request. It was the best bicycle tour I have experienced!

The local team in Porto did an excellent job. My ebike had two flat tires during the first hour, before we lever left the city. but they switched out the bike and the remaining 6 days of riding the bike was perfect! The navigation through the app - Ride GPS was flawless. Two of the hotels were beyond amazing, all the others were perfectly fine. The logistics of the airport pickup, luggage transfers, hotel reservations and transportation back to Porto all went off without a hitch. The only suggestion that I might make in terms of route is if a group is NOT staying in Vigo having the route go right though downtown which we hit during lunchtime rush seemed unnecessary, confusing and long.

Pedaling the beautiful paths along the Loire and Cher Rivers. The Chateau's were amazing to see and we learned so much about French history!

This tour exceeded our expectations. We had completed the North Portugal tour 3 days earlier, resting in Porto, then jumped back on the bikes for this tour to Lisbon.
The route was a great balance of coastal areas & through nature parks. The hotels were a mix of boutique & larger premises.
Recommend using e-bikes to enhance the touring experience, & add an additional night at day 3 or 4 to freshen up with a light day.

Our Porto to Lisbon self-guided cycling tour was absolutely incredible. The scenery, accommodation and the Portuguese people were fantastic.
Dianna the receptionist in Porto did a great job of going through everything before we started. This was last minute for her due to the person who was meant to do it not showing up.
We were given a Garmin for the navigation, but the GPS app we found easier to use on our phones.
Our one ask is that some information and times be updated. A major bridge was closed to cyclists, so we had to turn around to get a ferry. Unfortunately, the ferry crossing time was different to the information we had been given.
That said this was a fantastic trip. Easy, mostly flat riding. Watch out for those Portuguese drivers when on the open roads though.

Sergio and Miguel, our knowledgeable and experienced tour guides, worked to make this journey the most memorable experience in our lives. This was our first guided tour and it certainly will not be our last one that we schedule with Tripsite. No words could adequately explain the beauty, landscape, architecture, food, history, and the people we met in Portugal and Spain. The cycling every day presented challenges with the headwind one day and the rain on another day, which made the adventure more challenging and rewarding, too. Every detail is taken care of from the bike fitting to the snacks at each stop to the magnificent hotels and restaurant options. We were taken care of with all of the support needed for an awesome trip. Don’t hesitate to reserve your chance for a one of kind experience. Thank you, Sergio, Miguel, and Philipe (transportation).

Seeing so much of the country in 8 days, enjoying all the delicious food we were served and making great friends on the bike ride.

We had an excellent tour across the top of “Green Spain”, more or less following the Camino. We were somewhat worried about daily elevation gains but it turned out to be undulating hills rather than really long slogs. Glad for my e-bike though. Route was well devised and the couple of times we tried to deviate, we found out just why it was routed that way. There were a couple of ferry adventures which were fun, and we were glad the rep had explained them in advance.
Hotels were good and breakfasts were excellent. Even in late September, we were able to find decent restaurant options most evenings. Really enjoyed it.

Everyday had its own memorable take aways. I would say touring the villages and back country and the hospitality of every Albanian person we met. they are so proud other country, their food and their hospitality is amazing.

Our 2 guides, Dimitri and Vicci were fabulous!!!

Albania is a beautiful country and the people are very nice. However, infrastructure is still developing and at least some of our lodging was adequate at best. With a group of 20 cyclists, most on ebikes but 4 on regular bikes, we had only one guide cycling with us and one person driving a support vehicle. My suggestion would be 2 guides cycling with a group this size...one in front and one riding sweep.

Bom suporte, bons hotéis, exceto o de Frias que não era bom.

Just an absolutely fun filled 7 days. Loved being on our own, just taking our time and figuring out what went wrong and where we went wrong haha. Never really got lost and always felt safe. Plenty of time to complete the days journey which always ended with a brew in some cute little bar sharing a laugh of our days experiences. The accommodations were very comfortable and LOVED the staff, as well all the bikers were just fun to be around. Credit to Peter for his daily recaps and “what is on for tomorrow, what you can see along the way”. He also had these fun little games that made everyone laugh and connect, good job, Peter. I enjoyed everyday for sure but I will say the trip to the North Sea was a huge surprise and delight for me. I have always lived in Atlantic Canada where you always enjoy MANY amazing beautiful beaches, but that beautiful day at the North Sea was for me spectacular. What a beautiful beach and a day to match. My thoughts were “perfect ending to a perfect week”.

Most memorable was the 2 night stay in Carcasseronne, France. We opted for a Rest Day and did not do the scheduled In & Out Ride.
Upgrading to Deluxe accommodations was a really great value.
The 'Rails to Trails' In & Out route to Mirepoix, France was a great alternate from the towpath. Consider providing tours linking these well maintained trails. This one went way beyond Mirepoix. Other riders said there were many in Spain.
The condition of the tow path varied with the cities (Carcasserronne, Baziers and Narbonne having the worst maintenance (except in town)) and the long remote area between Baziers and Agde. Toulouse and surrounds were well maintained.
30 gear bicycle upgrades were a must for my group of 70 something year old men. My eBike was sturdier than other rentals I have had and it's Bosch drivetrain performed as well as my own.
There was miscommunication somewhere for our stay in Mirepoix. The manager showed us the reservation requesting two double rooms, but there was no mention of 2 beds in the two rooms. The hotel was full and only one of the rooms had two beds. He was able to book the two men in a nearby hotel.
Throughout the entire reservation process I found TripSIte to be professional and easy to work with with excellent communication and advice. One thing, the vests were fit larger than indicated size...
Thank you so much,

Our family had an unforgettable experience cycling from Wurzburg to Füssen, covering around 450 km along the stunning Romantic Straße. Each day was a new adventure, filled with charming towns, fairytale castles, rolling vineyards, and warm, welcoming locals who made the journey even more special.
One of the highlights was our pre-booked Night Watchman’s Tour in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a magical and entertaining way to explore the town’s medieval history. We also visited many fascinating museums along the route which became some of our favorite moments, offering rich cultural insights.
We loved stopping at local markets to enjoy delicious wine, sausages, and cheese for lunch. A surprise gem was discovering a serene mineral pool where we could relax and swim, such a treat after a day of riding!
The bikes provided were top-notch, handling every terrain with ease and comfort. Tripsite took care of all the logistics, hotel bookings, luggage transfers so we could focus entirely on enjoying the ride. With perfect weather and great company, the trip was smooth, stress-free, and full of joy!
We wholeheartedly recommend Tripsite for anyone planning a cycling adventure. Their exceptional organization and attention to detail make it easy to book a scenic, stress-free, and unforgettable family journey through Germany.

All parts of the trip exceeded our expectations. The hotels were lovely, the meals absolutely delicious, and the areas we rode through were beautiful. Our guide, Antonio, was calm, cool, and collected the entire time even while riding with the group on busy streets. We had a group of 8 on our tour, and Antonio quickly became one of our friends. He is a very kind person and handled all aspects of the tour extremely smoothly. One small improvement would have been to receive a little more information about some of the small villages and sites we visited along the way. I definitely am recommending Tripsite to friends and family.

My wife and I did this ride for our 50th anniversary. We enjoyed everything about it although, I must admit, it took a day or two to get use to the bicycles which are not ideal. The routes are unbelievable. Never having been in a bicycle centered country it was a revelation. The hotels were good to very good and the GUIBO was easy to use. We had only one day of significant headwinds but others have suggested to do the trip in reverse if winds are a problem for you. In short, a great trip that I would do again. I will certainly look to do another trip with Tripsite.

Our guides were wonderful. I especially appreciated having Pavel (a historian) as one of our trip guides--he made the trip intellectually enriching. We also really enjoyed the company of our fellow travelers. All in all, it was a fun, stimulating, beautiful, and well-supported adventure!

We had a fabulous trip! The route was beautiful and everyday brought new surprises. We especially loved riding inland into the mid evil villages up in the mountains. The scenery was spectacular and lots of sights to explore. We would highly recommend this tour!

Riding on the canal was very pleasant but the diversions from it added something extra. In particular the cycling on quiet country roads and cycleways. We enjoyed the ride to and from Mirepoix in particular.

Overall a very enjoyable trip which could have been made better with more suitable bikes. The bikes supplied were town bikes which considering the distance we were cycling, some of which was off road, did detract from the experience. The standard of hotels was very good. There was one where the size of the room was not suitable as a twin room with the beds shoe horned in. So we had to book a separate room on that occasion.
We are looking at booking something around Croatia next year.

Hello,

Overall, the trip was very good. The landscapes were beautiful, and the bikes provided were of good quality.

On the other hand, there were some negative points to mention: the absence of water bottles for the group, which had been promised in the contract, and the hotel in Aquileia, which I believe was well below the standard we had expected.

That said, I would also like to highlight the excellent assistance and responsiveness of the local team, which was very much appreciated throughout the trip.

Excellent tour with perfect hotels and meals to complement the Provence countryside. Our Tour Guide, Antonio Cimmino was a great addition with his helpful and fun nature. He was knowledgeable, attentive to our issues and meshed very well with the goal of our group to have a fun week. The biking was a challenge, but was managed with a pace that was perfect for a group with various levels of biking experience. All in our group mentioned having a great experience.

This was our 2nd self-guided bike tour in Europe. It was a little different than our first where everyone leaving from our hotel was on the same schedule. With this company, you are basically customizing your tour by chosing to stay extra nights in some cities. The route chosen by the local company was qood. We had a variety of small villages and towns, crop fields and forrests. Lodging in the Category B hotels was good to excellent. The cycle paths were very good most of the time with little mixing with cars. We did this in Sept and it seemed alot of restaurants/cafes along the route were closed, so you might bring a lunch with you. The bikes were good, but do not have mirrors, which I had inquired ahead about. We did bring our own.

Biking from Bolzano to Trento surrounded by mountains and scenery was memorable.
The extra days in Bolzano were well worth it. Lots to do with gondola rides and hikes to wineries.
The bike app worked pretty well, although some instruction was either confusing or a bit late.
Unfortunately we were kicked off the ferry ride on Lake Garda with bikes due to transportation strikes so had to take a van. We missed some scenery, but also had a faster trip to Pescheira.
We got caught in quite a downpour one day and the next day was looking stormy also, so we took a train.
Easy getting train tickets, harder getting spots on the train for bikes. We got the last.
Venice was nice, but naturally crowded. Hotels were mostly nice accommodations. Hotel staffs were pleasant and helpful. Hotel Majestic seems to go by different names and was initially difficult to find.
We enjoyed the self-guided bike tour, even though we didn't use E-bikes.

The most memorable part of this trip for me were the views of the beautiful Basque Country coastline and the charming places where we spent the nights. The weather cooperated for the most part also which made it that much better. I also would be remiss if I didn't mention Hennie who goes ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure each of us has a wonderful experience & addresses any of our concerns. She's the BEST!!! Our tour guide Pepe(as we called him) was great and swung in with us almost every night & we/I really enjoyed his company. I also met several new people which I will continue to keep in touch with. I really LOVE that aspect as well. So Thankyou Tripsite, Hennie, Pepe & our gang for another fun trip.

Most memorable were the numerous little towns, beautiful farmland, and forests. The arrival in Czesky Krumlov was spectacular. Stop to take a picture before descending into the town because you will never get this opportunity on the way out.
Hotels were nearly perfect for our needs. I would suggest an upgrade for Czesky Krumlov. The hotel was quite outdated, food marginal. All other accommodations were great.

What I am left with is the memory of the wonderful people I met on the trip. People from all over coexisted, braved some very wet weather, adapted to continuous itinerary changes due to weather conditions and still had a lovely experience. Food and accommodations were excellent. Kudos to the guide Peter who spent hours on his computer sleuthing out alternate routes for cycling as our itinerary continually changed. We missed some cities and had little time in others but you can't control Mother Nature or "traffic control" on the canals. All in all we had a great time and I will definitely book another B & B trip.
