What an amazing trip . We lucked out with beautiful sunny, weather and two good friends as cycling mates. We thoroughly enjoyed cycling from Amsterdam to Bruges The guibo app along with paper information/maps and route numbers helped us successful stay in course. The distance travelled each day was doable and allowed us with time to enjoy leisurely lunches, explore churches/historical buildings and local markets.( great tips in info / map booklet provided) We even dipped our toes in the north sea at two of the sandy beaches,The category A hotel choices were great and centrally located in cities/ towns,. We especially enjoyed the historical hotels -Hotel Mondragòn and Hotel Mauritz . Kudus to the chef at hotel, Mauritz where we enjoyed the best rack of lamb ever.Although we only met three additional cyclists from the Dutch bike company, we had many opportunities to meet other travellers and locals who thoroughly enhanced our experience. Ending at the Velotel in Bruges also gave us the opportunity to meet other cyclists and learn about their trips and travels. We’re ready for our next cycling adventure . Thank you very much.

It would be hard to pin point the best part of the tour in general. Italy is amazing. If food is at the top of your list, you will not be disappointed. We ate our way through our tour. The food is delicious! The tour itself is lovely and the accommodations chosen for us were perfect. The Italians are a genial, hospitable people. We were also treated to an incredible cooking class at Tenuta DonnaAnna. We made lunch with pasta, desert and then dined with the family. We all agreed that this was the high point of our tour. Go for the history, the beauty, the food and local wines…..all fabulous.

The only this that we all agreed on was the difficulty level of the riding which was Easy to Moderate. We are all fit and capable riders and the days’ riding was long and a couple of the days were very hilly….long, long hills Definitely daunting for someone that is not conditioned to riding. Moderate would be more appropriate.

A viagem foi muito agradável e bem organizada. Adoramos o roteiro e também todas as degustações. Tudo planejado e bem pensado para uma experiência perfeita na Umbria.
Sugiro repensaram dois hotéis.
Primeiro em Montefalco porque o quarto era muito pequeno para 3 pessoas, apesar da excelente localização.
Segundo em Assis, a distancia do hotel da cidade não é agradável visto que é necessária uma caminhada pela estrada.
Adoramos e faremos outros roteiros!

I enjoyed using the supplied route sheets and of course the all important ride with gps. This allowed us to travel at our own pace and stop when and where we wanted. The route along rivers let us pass through varied terrain, from agricultural lands to steep walled "canyons". We stayed mostly at Inns in small towns which were quiet and picturesque. The Czech Republic is a gem and I would recommend visiting, no matter how you get there.

There was some construction on the route. Got help from local cyclists to avoid the worst of it.
We had a great time!!!

Everything was amazing, the local representatives, the hotels and the staff in the hotels, the views, the bicycles, the local people that live in the area, we had the best time.
Everything was clear and we got a response for every question we had.

The scenery and people were amazing. Guides weee incredible . Everything I dreamed of but I would not say the tide was easy to moderate

This trip was completely amazing from the natural beauty to the personalized activities designed by our guide.

A great route with such history and two great cities! Would highly recommend not only the route, but the tour company. I was provided with Ride with GPS files in advance and a host of maps and other information upon arrival in Prague. They also use the "Trip Plans" app, which not only gives you the routes, but historical and other information about the towns you will be passing through and restaurant recommendations!

Great communication during the ride as well - even making a route change along the way due to road construction (they updated the Ride with GPS file in seemingly real time).

I have done a dozen or so self-guided solo bike trips around the world and often have had very little support - this team made it easy and they were always just a WhatsApp text or call away.

Looking at booking my next tour with them now...

Thanks!

The French Riviera is very beautiful and the weather is great!!
I loved my hotel in Hyeres. The Pontiere is amazing- a beautiful location

The first day we were so excited to be on the coast- rugged beauty and good biking trails.
Our self guided trip relied on the provided GPS and the use of the phone app for better navigation.
Pedralva stood out for its uniqueness but each location chosen for lodging had its charms.
It would be nice to know in advance when food was not available right at the lodging as we might have planned beforehand for that.
We were lucky to avoid rain but did find lots of puddles on a couple of days but really overall, everyone was happy with the route and very glad we went.

The trip was beautiful, unforgettable! We loved the trails along the beaches and forests. Passing through small towns and alleys in old neighborhoods was welcoming. We were very well received in the excellent hotels and restaurants suggested. Walking through the cities we passed through was very pleasant. Taking raincoats was very important for the first day.

This was a fun and memorable tour with enough options to keep even fast cyclists (which my wife and I aren't) engaged and occupied beyond the daily pedal. And the Ride with GPS app supplied by the agency, with all the rides preloaded, removed the worry and stress of missing turns and taking wrong forks, with detailed instructions and maps serving as a backup. There was a bit of confusion about the dinner vouchers - we at first assumed, wrongly, that they covered drinks. Also, when one restaurant we had vouchers for us in Dresden turned out to be closed for renovations, we were told to walk thirty minutes to an affiliate restaurant - that refused to honor the vouchers. Despite this miscommunication, all ended well when the agency gave us new vouchers for our last dinner in Prague, which was as not in our contract. I would ride with this tour operator again for their prompt and courteous service, as well as for their outstanding planning and execution.

This is a great culinary tour where you learn how parmesan cheese, wines, and balsamic vinegar are made. The cycling was easy, but caution needed when entering busy cities. We recommend opting for the guided and really enjoyed this tour.

Great trip! Very well planned. Route app was excellent. Make sure to check hotel locations carefully. They are not always in the last town on the days itinerary.

We loved the trip. Lovely scenery and fascinating sites to see along the way. Accommodations were delightful and we stayed at some lovely old residences. Bikes went well and the GPX tracks made all the difference and we had no problem navigating along the various trails and roads. We so appreciated how responsive the local bike company was and if we had any queries we could send a message on WhatsApp and we received a reply straight away

The guides were great with their inside knowledge and fun stories. The food was outstanding.

Spectacular bucolic setting for a cycling trip. Lovely medieval towns, quiet country roads. Great food. Extra day canoeing Dordogne river and climbing the cliffs near BEYNAC a highlight

Warren and Esther from Galloway cycling made this trip one of the best we have had, definitely the best tour operators we’ve experienced. They truly will do anything they can to ensure the best possible holiday. This is a beautiful area of Scotland with few tourists. The cycling routes were beautiful and there were options to choose from each day. The towns of Castle Douglas and Kirkcudbright were charming and our accommodations at Douglas House and Selkirk Arms were very comfortable. When we finished the trip we just wanted to start it all over again!

Highly recommend this trip ! We rode this self guided tour on our recumbent bikes and loved the ride. The local partner, Sergio and his staff, was very accommodating and flexible so we could use our own bikes, thank you! At the end of the tour, We were about to get stuck with our bikes in Lisbon due to a train labor strike and massive power outage but Sergio saved the day and transported us back to Porto. All of Sergio's team were very helpful, friendly professionals. Thank you to them and the Tripsite crew for such an enjoyable, memorable vacation!

Great bike trip! Favorite city was middleberg! Be sure to enjoy the cheese in Gouda.

All of journey was gorgeous. in the beginning the routes are more steeps and when you reach Danúbio River the path is more flat. All of cities that you stay are super nice. Anyway, I loved all.

We really enjoyed this self guided tour. You are basically following the Danube or Donau, as the Germans refer to it, essentially downhill, making it fairly easy riding. The best part was riding with a group of curious friends. Poking our noses into things along the way and asking lots of questions made for a good travel experience. The bicycles we received were brand new and half of the group chose electric versions. All of the equipment worked well and the support team was responsive answering questions via cell along the way. We even got a first class detour around a road closure. Two vans transported us and our bicycles around a closed area along the river, thank you! There are a number of bicycle ferry crossings. This was really fun to load up the bikes and cross the river by boat. We also finished the trip on a short boat ride into Budapest. I would recommend this finish as you get to see all the bridges from the river coming into the city. Our accommodations were a good mix of private guest houses and hotels. Perhaps one suggestion, would be to have 2 nights in Vienna, since there is so much to see there. There is a lot to see in Budapest so we extended our visit there 3 more nights. Overall a very nice bike trip.
