Valencia, Color and Contrasts
Spain
We had the misfortune of booking our trip when global warming struck the region in October 2024. The DANA that struck the region during that time had a major impact on our trip, cancelling 3 days of riding. The folks on the ground are not to blame for the weather, but their reaction went far above expectations! Due to flooding and road washouts, they taxied us (at no charge to us) from hotel to hotel to end our trip.
The hotels were top notch, each with a distinct charm. The directions and provided GPS made for almost seamless travel (a couple of wrong turns because I didn't have the GPS tuned in fine enough.
Tripsite was a dream to work with for our booking! I was booking for a group of 8 seniors. One of them did not recover from a previous surgery in time to travel, so had to cancel 10 days before departure. They took care of notifying the providers and processed the refund quickly. I never actually spoke to anyone, but easily made all arrangements online.

Spain’s Longest Greenway: Albarracín to Valencia
Spain
We were very happy with the thoughtful hotels selected, to ensure bike safety and a unique experience. All of the hotels had so much within walking distance, that once you were there, you could easily take a break from the bikes and explore things by foot. Being self-guided allowed us to make stops as we pleased and go at whatever pace felt best for us. We never felt alone though; a we had someone nightly giving us so much information about what to expect for the following day, how to plan, and helping us make reservations for meals. They were a Read More wealth of knowledge and made a point to ensure we were having a positive experience.
Overall, this trip was perfect for people like my husband and I, who don't just want to only see the cities and the tourist attractions. This allowed us to be active as we traveled and we felt it was very accessible terrain, even though we are not professional cyclists. We also opted for e-bikes which are so fun. For anyone stressed around the milage the e-bike is the way to go. They are just awesome. Loved how well-planned things were for us, so we only had little details to worry about.

Andalusia - Seville to Granada
Spain
The variety of food was a lot of fun. Seeing the little towns and villages along the way was also a plus. Trying different beers and wines was also fun. And of course the history in Sevilla, Cordoba, and Granada was excellent. With the exception of the climb through town to Castille Almoalvador, the road choices were excellent, particularly on the last day.

The delivery of my suitcase from one hotel to the next went smoothly and the e bike, GPS and helmet were great.
I loved the routes and would highly recommend this tour.
Being a vegetarian it Read More was often difficult to find enough to eat in this part of Spain as their main dishes in this region are pork and lamb.
But overall I loved the trip and would use Tripsite again for another cycling tour in the future.

Andalusia - Seville to Granada
Spain
I enjoyed the last day of the bike trip going into Granada... the scenery was very enjoyable with the reservoirs and the forests and winding roads. They other part of the trip was also nicebut you can only admire sooo many Olive trees! I enjoyed all the castle views. I think our tour van driver, Steve Watson, did an excellent job of telling us all about the country, the history,, great sites to look for and good places to eat.

Along the Ebro River to La Rioja
Spain
Bravo to tripsite for this incredible tour. The scenery is breathtaking and the overnight hosts were beyond hospitable. The two larger hotels in Haro and LaGuardia were very enjoyable.
For the most part, the route is ingenious, with so much downhill and easy riding. HOWEVER - some of the hills, particularly on cycling days 3 and 6, are no joke. We were on e-bikes, and without those, this would have been miserable. We are experienced cyclists, but are 70 yrs old, so were very grateful for the e-bikes. You will use a lot of battery on those two days, so be sure that you’re fully charged.
This was our third tripsite cycling tour and it was our favorite so far, well planned and and fun to ride.

Most memorable part of the trip was the amazing architecture along the way.
Tips for other travelers would be to go the extra mile and see ALL of the sights.

Along the Ebro River to La Rioja
Spain
The routes through the villages and mountains were stunning and well thought out, although I would prefer more paths away from the roads.
The lodgings were generally spacious and hospitable. The tour staff were super friendly and accommodating , especially Montesclaros! A very memorable trip!

Extremadura: Spanish Land of Conquistadors
Spain
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!

Very fun trip, the parts along the old railway are great because you don’t run into car traffic…there are a fair amount of walkers and joggers so you need to watch for that.
The parts in the small towns are interesting because you are riding in little alleys. When you get on the roads between the towns you need to be careful of cars because many of them will pass you very fast.
In some towns and along the seashore some of the roads/trails have been banned for bikes, so you need to either walk your bike or find you way around on other streets.
What’s nice is different scenery on each day so the ride is never monotonous.

Extremadura: Spanish Land of Conquistadors

I really enjoyed the Paradors.... each unique and comfortable. The biking is through rural countryside (mostly paved roads and light traffic but there can be stretches with heavier traffic, drivers were courteous in my experience). Beautiful area. Very hilly, but very pretty. I would recommend this trip.

There were so many memorable parts to our trip it is hard to choose one. We loved riding along the incredibly beautiful seashore of Portugal. We stayed in some amazing hotels. We ate the local food of Galicia and tried so many foods that we never would have ordered at home. We rode on every kind of surface imaginable and enjoyed seeing all the walking pilgrims. On arrival in Santiago Compostela we found the cathedral magnificent. It was a fabulous trip. Thank you to our superb guides!

What a wonderful trip!! It was easy to navigate. The route was not very difficult, but active enough to feel like you've earned your sangria at the end of the day :) Lots to do and see along the routes: beaches, museums, ruins, vineyards. Amazing food. Dips in the Mediterranean post cycle. It was everything we wanted. Girona was particularly special. We did give ourselves 3 days to enjoy the city before the trip started and I would recommend that. The food and architecture and history of the old city was a joy to explore. Also, make sure to book tickets for the Dali Theatre and Museum in Figueres at the end of the trip.

The scenery in the Costa Brava is non-stop. From seaside to countryside to fields full of sunflowers and ancient villages, everyday had at least one "wow" moment. Tripsite support was spot on and the ebikes were flawless.

Basque Country to Asturias
Spain
Excellent trip and beautiful route! Directions were very clear and straightforward. Hotels were great. The only thing I might mention, is the Hotel Juan de la Cosa is a beautiful hotel, but it really isn't close to any resturants. If you would like to eat somewhere besides the hotel (which is pricy) you might want to plan to eat in the town just before you get to the hotel. I think maybe it is 8 miles away or so. That might be something worth mentioning in your guide so that people know.

Camino de Santiago E-Bike Tour
Portugal, Spain
The landscape, ocean paths and excellent hotels are the best of this trip. I love cycling and do that regularly. This trip is classified as “easy” but I actually think it is very challenging. There is a variety of terrain, some parts are easy but others are very challenging with rocky hilly roads, passing streams and among walkers that do El Camino. The mountain bikes are great and I would not have been able to complete it without an electric mountain bike. Be prepared for many challenging hills. This is definitely not a trip for beginner or occasional cyclists.

First of all, the bikes were outstanding. My wife has used many e bikes and she loved this one. The mountain bike I was given was also excellent. The three Paradors, (Santiago, Baiona and Pontevedra) were each outstanding. The path was extremely varied. Everything from smooth pavement to loose gravel. Some walking is likely. The shore-side or through wooded paths or through small villages sites were great.

The tour route was for the most part easy to follow and had little exposure to traffic. The trip takes you through a lot of the highlights of the area and if you love wild flowers you will be overjoyed. The hotels were quite nice but you may want to upgrade your room in some places so you can get an ocean view instead of the parking lot. Our only complaint was related to the bikes. The ebikes had slicks on them and these heavy bikes would skid a lot on the loose gravel. The regular bikes didn't have front end shocks and some of the trails were filled with broken jagged pavement that jarred the wrists significantly.

I really appreciated the thoughtful routing of the GPS track, it put in great places to experience so much that was wonderful in Catalan country. The mediaeval towns and historic spots, great restaurants and boutique hotels in unique settings. We had fabulous support from Your staff when we experienced misadventure on our first day, due some learning curves with the technology.

The route was varied, mountains the first half of the week then the coast the second (of course we were lucky with the weather). Food was great in various places. Hotels, especially along the coast, were very nice.
A good experience of a less well-known part of Europe to many tourists, especially Americans (Cadiz is well known but not the other parts of the Spanish Atlantic coast.

Camino de Santiago E-Bike Tour
Portugal, Spain
This is a wonderful trip and you definitely need e-bikes. The scenery is really nice and the bikes we had were simply amazing. We have e-bikes at home and the Scott e-bikes were far superior to ours. There are steep up and downs and easily half are on paths. Also, you come across a lot of walkers and you’ll need to work your way past them but you just have to be patient at times when the path is wet or narrow. Everyone was super nice in allowing us to pass. You do need more than basic riding skills for this ride. The hotels were great, the people along the way were awesome and locals are super. There are plenty of places to stop and get something to eat or drink along the way. The bike shop that sets up everything did a great job with the daily check ins, transfers to/from the airport and the GPS maps. They gave us a small GPS that proved very valuable and the routes took us to the hotel each day. The cathedral in Santiago was jaw dropping. To get in (free) it’s around the side.
We loved this and would encourage anyone to consider it. We did the 9 day and we were really glad we did as the 40 mile day would’ve been too much with the trails.

Beautiful scenery. Steven was a great tour leader. Lodging was 1* to 4*’s. The 1 and 2* hotels were not great. Really enjoyed the tour but decided that the cycling distances were too short. Needed more cycling. Thanks. Marian

Thank you, Marian, for taking the time to leave your feedback. I understand your comments about the hotels. Because there are very remote parts of Spain within the route, accommodation options can be very limited (sometimes only one option). However we do take pride in offering Spanish-family run guest houses and we do always note in your hotel list if it is the only option within the route.
We communicate cycling distances in advance (listed under Itinerary), however in the future we'd be happy to explore modifying the routes in order to accommodate the distances that are most comfortable to you.
Thank you again!
