Europe Bike & Hotel Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 1976

The itinerary was wonderful; we passed through several amazing cities, and the bike paths were very good.

Good cycling route to start with between to great cities! Easy mostly off road cycle paths in parts along Danube but mainly via countryside, small villages, sunflower fields. Heatwave in early August was not part of plan so early starts and plenty of water! Sandi was excellent support. Comfortable bikes and great phone app to help stay on route! Nice hotels too nesf routes. We personally loved Gyor and Eztegorm. Would use Tripsite again. Good arrangements, good support and info when we were preplanning trip.

The scenery and bicycle paths are absolutely amazing. Most of the route is on paved dedicated bike paths. The shuttle on the second riding day worked out great and skipped a lot of climbing. Our party of eight seniors all rented e-bikes, which were comfortable and in excellent condition. All of the towns had a good selection of restaurants for dinners.

Our only complaint is the lack of air conditioning in several of the hotels. Although we started our tour the second week in September it was quite warm and only one of the hotels (Hotel Gruberhof in Meran) had working AC. Fortunately we stayed in that hotel for two nights. The other hotels were on busy streets, making it difficult to sleep with the window either open or closed. Perhaps starting the tour in October would be a good idea.

Your subcontractors Esther and Warren made the trip all worth while. Everything was done excellently. Cheers to them.

Amazing opportunities to make the world come alive, ride safely with excellent local guides and make new friends.

It was so exciting coming down the Alps on the first day! Absolutely stunning views. And cowbells could be heard constantly! Such amazing scenery, especially the lake in Iseltwald. We had the most spectacular view at dinner. We had a flat tire on one day but the local tour company helped us find the nearest train station to get us to a bike shop for help. We take these bike trips yearly and are excited for next year’s adventure!

Most memorable part of the trip was cycling along the coast, staying in small villages, most nights that were on the beach. The accommodations were fine. Really enjoyed the rooms with a balcony. The 1st hotel room in Porto (Trindade) was extremely dirty with stains on the carpet. They actually gave us access to the room before it was cleaned. The balance of the hotels were much better. I would highly recommend using the Ride with GPS navigation system. the organizer supplies the routes to upload. We had difficulty with the navigation system supplied by the organizer. At times it would guide to ride through thick forests, through farmers corn fields, across lakes without a boat. Their navigation system at times told us we were off course, when we actually were not. The ride with GPS gave us more comfort. We did make each segment of the route.

Worst; wine tasting dinner, sleeping hotel duchi and sleeping hotel bontadosi
best; wine tour lungarotti, hotel grappolo d'oro
good; bicycles, service ecologico tours
Already sent extended comment to them, in Dutch.

Beautiful scenery and flat terrain, mostly featuring safe and well-maintained bike paths.

The riding was lots of fun, and the bikes were great. Most of the hotels were more like 2 star than 3 but overall we had a great experience.

The hotels were great, and the assistance from Tripsite was too.
We loved it!

Great way to see the real Mallorca away from the tourist beaches etc

Beautiful area to ride through. The days were varied and lovely.
The trip needs to have the accommodations changed. Other than the fantastic stay at the rural farm they are very economy and the hotels assign the worst rooms. Some without ac and it hit 101 one day of the trip. We were able to get that room without a change to another one but only when we reached out to the local operator ourselves because the hotel staff were not helpful and told us that they were full so the only room we could have was the one with no AC . Breakfast at that same beachside hotel was really poor.
Bikes needed better maintenance (chain replacement and derailer adjustment) .
If these things were addressed, this would be a five star review for sure.
Local staff were great. Very helpful and responsive.

Fantastic trip. Good routes with easy to follow gps cues. Our luggage arrived each day before we reached the hotel. Lovely little towns along the way. The e-bikes performed flawlessly.

The biking was very good. The hotels were great except for one that was two and a half miles away from town. One day we were biking along a busy highway which we didn't care for. The luggage service was perfect. I would recommend Tripsite to most cyclists.

Right from the start arranging this trip was a positive experience. Lukas was great at going through the information, setting up the Ride with GPS and our bikes but also at promptly responding to any queries we had along the way. The route was well designed and picturesque. We did the suggested walk to Bastei Brücke and would recommend this. Even though we chose self guided we soon met people riding the same route and at times in the same accomodation with us. Luggage transfers were well organised and I would recommend limiting your baggage weight as several of the hotels we carried bags up several flights of stairs. Lots of options for stopping along the way and for restaurants and cafes. Excellent designed trip.

This trip was absolutely amazing in so many ways from the scenery to the small towns to the friendly people we met along the way to the yummy food (freshest muscles hands down straight off the boat, tasty cheese (Gouda - now I know pronounced "HOW-DAH" :) & that mouthwatering delicious chocolate - WOW WOW WOW) - Absolutely MAGICAL especially the 2nd e-biking day Gouda/Oudewater to Papendrecht/Dordrecht riding through the famous windmills - Everything was fantabulous :)

The only caveat would be a few areas where we had to e-bike through long stretches parallel to highways, however, the backroad biking and quaint towns along with countryside cycling made up for this downside.

All in all, it was a blissful trip that we will never forget - This girl's soulful cup is FULL :)

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
