"Pedalamos por 8 dias incríveis, de 11 a 18 de setembro! A organização do passeio foi simplesmente sensacional, superando todas as nossas expectativas. Mesmo com o tempo meio fechado e fresquinho, o lago e as cidades que visitamos estavam lindos! As ciclovias eram ótimas, bem sinalizadas e seguras. Foi a primeira de muitas aventuras de bike que já estamos planejando! Uma viagem de férias completamente diferente e com experiências incríveis! Vale muito a pena, super recomendo!" Nila, Blumenau/SC - Brasil.

Budapest was the best city. Bratislava 2nd and Győr 3rd. The ride past Prinz Eugen’s hunting lodge (Schloß Hof), Bicycle Freedom’s Bridge and lunch at the Penny Coffea at the Slovakian side of the bridge (outstanding poached eggs on avocado bagels) and the ride past Devin Castle and the confluence of the Morova and Danube rivers was the nicest part of the ride.
The rest of the trip and the towns were very boring and monotonous. We had slippery mud in some sections of the trail with rain, and had to use the main roads. The train transfers went smoothly but did require carrying heavy bicycles up and down quite a few steps to reach the platforms.

The entire trip was memorable. We loved that most of the biking were on beautiful coastal trails. The views were phenomenal and the people from Portugal are so warm and friendly. I would recommend this bike trip to anyone wanting to do coastal trip.

This tour is a.m.a.z.i.n.g. The rides offer expansive views, a good number of rolling hills, and the paths up to the bridges seemed to always be set at 3% gradient, they curved and whined up the hill, and the roads are impeccable. Not a single pot hole or crack, smooth and wide and often very little traffic. Service is impeccable! One thing Japan does not lack is the attention to detail. I love Japan.... the culture, the people, the cuisine I would HIGHLY recommend this tour.

It was a great trip, even though we lost a day to the Danube flooding. It was fascinating to see how the officials dealt with trying to open up the pathway as quickly as possible. We would also like to say thank you to local ground folks for their willingness to assist in making changes for us so we could keep cycling.

What wonderful views in Puglia. in addition to the biking, loved the cooking class and wine tasting- best guide ever, Julia went out of her way to help us and spent extra hours every day making sure our trip went smoothly and was fun.

The food was excellent without exception. Our guide was super helpful, supportive, safety conscious and knowledgeable. The people of Albania are very friendly and I always felt safe while riding my bike.

We loved this trip, our first group trip with a guide, and our first biking trip. The guide was knowledgeable and very interactive, and the support staff person thoughtful and proactive. Our guide even shared his traditional music talents, which was an unexpected bonus. The cheese making demonstration and lunch was a highlight, as was staying at a masseria (farm). Good food and great tour stops.

A few tweaks would have made the trip five stars. Some of the bikes had power issues which weren't addressed during the week, and the hotel in Alberobello was not as nice as the others. I wish the last biking day would have had more biking--the other days were full of side trips and culinary/cultural experiences, but the final day seemed to be just a functional direct short ride to our final destination.

Puglia is fascinating, especially the areas around Alberobello. A great place to ride.

This tour is a great value for the expenditure.

The Albanian bike trip started slowly on various fronts. Then, each day it built and built on the previous day’s experiences. Until, you were bombarded with so much beauty, good food and laughter that you could have been forgiven for thinking you had somehow slipped into heaven. Albeit, with Paragliders substituting for angels. I mean WOW.

Bato and Juli, the duo who looked after us;
were a father and son team. They were up to every challenge we hurled at them. They were competent, compassionate and charming.

My only recommendation would be to stay one extra night at the final hotel.

The reality of a 4:00 AM airport transfer after having had such a gratifying trip, was harsh! Ha

Our guide Ernesto was great. The size of our group and lack of support from tour company was the source of most issues!
I loved the locations we were taken. The food was amazing and again our guide Ernesto was great.

Visiting the city of Matera was a truly unique experience. The history and architecture was fascinating. Matera was a great place to begin our adventure through the Puglia region. The food was excellent throughout our tour and great effort was taken to be sure we were served locally grown tasty treats including yummy local wines.

The maps were more helpful than the written directions. All hotels were excellent, rooms, service and food. The bikes were quite heavy for the distances involved. The women did not like the seats, rubbed their lady parts the wrong way. Questions were answered quickly through What’s App. Inform riders than many restaurants in Europe are closed on Sundays. Have a map that shows where the hotel(s) are located. Considering the Danube flooding conditions, the staff responded quickly, but it would have been nice to be better informed each morning about changing conditions.

What a fantastic 10-day cycling trip to Albania! It was exciting to see the beauty of Albania on a bicycle from the Llogara Pass, a high mountain pass within the Ceraunian Mountains, to the coastline of the Albania Riveria. Our tour guide, Juli, and support team, Bato, did a fantastic job. The entire tour was seamless. The meals were preplanned and ready to be served when we got off the bikes. The routes were well-planned and beautiful, with excellent coffee breaks and interesting mini-tours along the way. I would highly recommend this trip.

EVERYTHING about this trip was spectacular. We were so impressed with our guide Antonio in his expertise and knowledge of the area of Tuscany. The friends we made are memorable and probably lifelong. The food, the trails, the villages, the group dinners, the pizza lunch— all of it is memorable. We’ll be back for another Tripsite Trip!! Caio!

This trip was unlike any other! The guides were extremely knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and patient. Cycling through Tuscany will be forever replaying in my mind!

I have always wanted to take a challenging cycling trip. It has taken me 10 years to find the right people to lead me there safely. Thank you Hennie. I loved how the trip swept us along a variety of landscape and terrain. I appreciate history and liked the stops along the way to see how these beautiful people have fared through the centuries. The food was more than ample and delicious! So much goodness comes from the land and the people’s effort.
The mountains were spectacular and the Ionian Sea at the end was our reward. We went back in time to see an agrarian society working hard, yet having access to good food and good water. I appreciated the drinking water all along the way ❤️
My big tip is to stay two extra nights in Vlorë when you are done to enjoy your newly toned muscles and the Sea. Also it wouldn’t hurt to come a day early just to have a day to discover Tiranë and deal with the challenges of traveling days.

Great scenery, lovely accommodation, mostly easy and pleasant riding.

Suggest - check the status of construction along the river. We had one posted detour and one not posted. Without our own maps, we would have been a long way off course.
- check your bicycle carefully. My seat bolt was stripped so the seat went out of adjustment several times each day. As someone accustomed to working on bicycles, it was irritating but a rider not comfortable doing adjustments would have been very uncomfortable

My hubby and I did this tour in mid-August. Despite the heat and the elevation gain more than we expected, this tour was surprisingly amazing!! The route was beautiful AND interesting, and it was always such a treat to stay at the Paradors. Bikes were in good shape but we did have one mechanical issue,.. however the support line was quick to resolution. We definitely will not forget this trip for all the right reasons!

My wife and I had a wonderful time. The routes, the chateaus, the bikes, the app, the luggage transfers, and the lodging were all good. Thank you for an excellent experience!

We enjoyed the whole experience! At the end of day 1 my wife said I could do this again - that didn’t change. Our group leaders (and support team) had to manage the impact of flooding and gave us a memorable experience - they couldn’t have tried harder. E-bikes made it accessible for less experienced or older riders but it still requires many hours in the saddle. Don’t expect to lose much weight as the food was plentiful and excellent. The WhatsApp group created for us made it easy to keep in contact. We are so pleased to have picked this tour!

Excellent e-bikes, informative instructions, fabulous hotels, gorgeous and safe routes for riding.

Great trip with miles & miles of beautiful landscape. The cities and estates along the way are very impressive

The Iron Curtain Trail & Memorial was great. Especially for those that remember the Cold War era

Cycling through the smaller rural villages and on rural roads we really enjoyed. The people are really friendly and helpful. It was easy to follow the route with the GPS app supplied. The Baroque villages are fascinating . We especially loved staying in the old city of Syracuse. Well worth spending an extra day here.

We have to add that there is quite a bit of cycling on busy roads which was not that enjoyable.

On the whole though can highly recommend this trip.

A delightful 8 days of biking in Albania on an e-bike! Every day we experienced something different and beautiful scenery. I enjoyed biking through the farmlands and mountains and along the coast. Excellent accommodations and food. The Albanian people were friendly, especially the motorists who patiently shared the roads with us, although we mostly had the roads to ourselves. The guide was excellent and made the trip extra fun. The sag wagon worked out very well too, if someone was having an off day. I've been on eight TripSite vacations and this was one of my favorites.

This is my 2nd trip that I booked through Tripsite and again it DID NOT disappoint. Our adventure through Albania was amazing. I don’t know how or who finds the tour guides there, but they are without a doubt. The trip I went on last year was so fabulous that ALL of the same people (17)wanted to do another trip together. That REALLY says a lot for this company, our tour guide Julian took us through parts of Albania, that were so magnificent that only pictures can describe it. The places we stayed, the sights that we saw, the food that we ate, and how well organized everything was was beyond belief. I can’t wait to hear what trip site is thinking for next year‘s trip. Thank you to Hennie and everyone at Tripsite & Julian & Bato our guides for making this extra special.

PS: If there is a place to put pictures. I will be happy to include some. A+ experience

I was very impressed with the organization of this tour, thanks to Juli and his papa, Bato. Our bikes were always ready and fully charged by Bato and Juli led our group through the beautiful Albanian countryside with efficiency, grace and humor. It wasn't always easy managing 18 of us! The restaurants were always ready for us with food that was delicious and plentiful. Our accommodations were very nice, clean and comfortable. Eight days and 300 miles of cycling was the right amount of time and distance. I would highly recommend this trip with Juli and Bato!

This trip was a most enjoyable travel experience! I was a stranger in a foreign land with a group of bicyclists whom I barely knew! The sites were beautiful, the people warm and friendly. My memories will always be that this was one of my most wonderful life experiences!
This trip was well planned and expertly carried out!

In May 2024 my two friends and I did this bike trip.
Tripsite was fabulous organising our hotels and bikes. The best part was by 9 am each morning our luggage was picked up and delivered to our next accommodation in a beautiful town. The e-bikes were perfect to make the days ride very pleasant. The paths are very well sign posted, so extremely easy to follow and the terrain was for the most part flat making the riding easy.
I’d recommend staying an extra night in Amboise and Tours, lots to see.
We used the standard accommodation, all a bit quirky but clean and comfortable enough for 1 night stay.
All the accommodation are geared up for cyclists, all having places to store the bikes and some even for charging e-bikes.
You will not be alone on the path passing other cycling enthusiasts. France is a cycling country so you’ll notice lots of families out as you get closer to towns.
We rewarded ourselves with a chateau stay once we finished at Tours, it was the best experience for all of us..
We enjoyed it so much we are now booking the next stage of the Loire river.. we could not get enough of the scenery and especially the beautiful Chateaux.....stunning.
