Germany Bike & Hotel Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 357

This was the highlight of our holiday. great support. great way to see the country. only regret was having a few extra days. Highly recommend this tour. The app with the tour maps was very easy to follow and therefore stress free.

Excellent experience. I traveled alone from Colombia. I took the Prague to Passau tour. Communication was excellent, as was the bike (I requested a gravel bike). The hotels were good; they were all bike-friendly (they had a designated area to park the bike). Highly recommended.
You really need at least one more day in Prague. Also, Cesky Krumlov is a lovely city, would reach as soon as possible to aproach the day.

Overall, it was a very enjoyable tour. The maps/guides were good and easy to follow. There were a couple of instances where there were detours, but it was easy enough to get back on track as the guide had a feature to return to the route. The hotels were generally modest, but clean and comfortable; no complaints. The breakfasts were all quite satisfactory. The ebike was pre-configured to my height, it was clean, well-maintained, in good working order, although it was a very heavy machine. The battery stored enough for several days ridding. For someone in their mid-seventies, the 50-60 km per day was doable as the terrain was mostly flat and the power assist came in handy towards the end of the day, especially as a couple of the hotels were higher up off the valley floor. The scenery covered rural, vineyards, quaint villages, industrial, but always there was the river. This trip has encouraged me to consider other river-side trips.

The scenery,day 3,4,5 6 was the highlight. The communication via WhatsApp setup by the company,was very helpful and the response time was quick.

It took some effort on my part to persist in getting the advertised hotel at Bad Schandau rather than what was initially given at a different ,less ideal town and location. I'm glad I persisted, as Bad Schandau was clearly the better choice.

We thought that the app Ride with GPS (after a bit of help with setup and use) was very clear accurate and we had no problems following the route. Accompanying information about places to visit was also good, and we were happy with the accommodations.
Overall, a successful and enjoyable trip.
Thanks.
PS. A small issue - the Romantik Bülow Residenz in Dresden was closed when we arrived just after 5pm, and we had to hunt around to find out that we needed to go to the main hotel about 200 metres up the street to get our keys and find out where to put the bikes. There was no warning about 5pm closure.

This self navigated trip covers some beautiful untrammelled scenery, along solid bike trails. Little villages with hidden gems await. Locals are friendly and helpful, food great not to mention the wine! There is little traffic to contend with allowing freedom to enjoy the beautiful countryside. We found storybook villages, Roman ruins, good restaurants and comfortable accommodations along the way. The guest house stays were especially pleasant.

Need to print out maps if taking ferry Not marked on trail system. Lack of WC and water supply at times. Would have like to know where you could get this

A fabulous cycling tour through some o the most beautiful countryside in Switzerland, with the bonus of also cycling through Germany, Liechtenstein and Austria.

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.

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.

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

Reichenau and the subsequent ferry trip across the lake, as well as the ride/train ride towards the Alps both stand out.

We especially enjoyed the routes and the small villages where we stayed.

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 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 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.

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.

Without a doubt, biking around the lake’s scenic beauty was an everyday treat. We met many wonderful and kind people at the hotels, along the way, strangers who treated us as family explaining customs, giving directions, and friendly hospitality.
Helpful hints: learn how to use Komoto gps app, bring a bicycle mirror (almost no one had but it really would have helped in traffic).
The staff of Tripsite were incredible. Before and during the ride, they were supportive, found answers to our questions, and were always eager to find help and get back to us. They were a blessing throughout. Thank you!!!!

1st 3 days really great cycling, quiet and beautiful, but it's hilly if not on an ebike particularly day 2.
Better to visit Neuschwanstein first thing day 4 rather than at the end of a long day 3.
Nearly all of the recommended gasthofs were closed during the day, one looked shut for sometime. Take food and drink with you for lunch, dont rely on finding it en route.
App glitchy in towns navigating to the hotel and when off route.
That said, we really enjoyed this trip.

An incredible cycling journey along the Danube, with breathtaking landscapes and charming towns at every stage. The route was spectacular from start to finish, combining nature, culture, and unforgettable views. Everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

We really enjoyed the tour! The countryside, - the river and the entire experience was excellent.
I fell off my bike in one location and then had problems with the brakes on my bike.
The support team was quickly available for us and offered helpful support from a very remote location! This was very much appreciated.
We did a self guided bicycle tour, - using Ride with GPS' and also a paper copy of the directions. Even so, - we experienced some confusion in Bad Schandau.

All in all, - we would highly recommend this tour for all rider abilities.

The trip was excellent. Exactly as advertised. I want to give a special shoutout to the Tripsite customer support team. We had a couple of unexpected family/personal issues that came up just before and during the tour, and that required some accommodations. The Tripsite support team was responsive, supportive, and flexible. That made a big difference for us.

The entire trip was well organised with a great route. The path was exceptional albeit a bit flat at times which allowed the daily distances to be covered very easily. The route was punctuated by historic towns and natural beauty around every corner.

I would recommend this trip to anyone, even people with limited fitness.

Despite the chilly weather in mid-May 2026, my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our cycling trip, a first for us. The scenery was beautiful and varied, as the river is often winding. The accommodations were very good, although sometimes the rooms were a bit small for a 4-star hotel.
We opted for electric bikes, which was a good idea. However, they were quite heavy to handle. We also would have appreciated instructions on how to lock the bikes together and how to remove the battery to charge it in the room, as one hotel didn't have an electrical outlet in its garage. The Pedalo app, which served as our guide, was truly amazing; it's very well designed. However, the route really needs adjusting when there are detours that last for months due to major construction. The signs on the ground were difficult to find.
That said, we would be happy to repeat a similar experience with TripSite.

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

The trip itinerary is fantastic. Every tip, every stop is worthwhile. We would like to give special recognition to the local team for their excellent service.

Lukas managed to provide great guidance, historical insights and an overall enjoyable experience. Some hotels were marginal on comfort but that did not diminish our impression of a very well organized tour. We are seeking him out for our next tour to Budapest!

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.
