5 Star Wending boat/barge tour reviews — 1 to 3 of 3

The tour Vienna Budapest was fantastic. The whole family was looking forward to starting the trip, as we had already taken the "Passau - Vienna" tour with Tripsite in 2014.
Every day on the bike was a family adventure, as the landscapes along the Danube are beautiful and there are many places to rest and contemplate God's creation. There are also castles, churches and historical sites that are important for learning about the local culture.
The hotels are excellent, with delicious breakfasts and are located in cozy cities. Their staff is always helpful.
In order to make the tour even better, on the last day (Estergom-Szentendre) between the first and second ferry boat, we suggest a replace route because the proposal one is very difficult to cycle. We turned back and took an alternative route, across a bridge.
The most memorable part of the tour is arriving in Budapest via the Danube, at the end of the day, by boat.

Hi everyone! This is Mary from Tripsite. I biked this tour in the fall of 2014 to check it out for all of you. The tour as written is 8% off road and I was challenged but rewarded with incredible cliff top views of the sea. (The tour can be adjusted for more on road riding if you prefer). One of my favorite memories: tackling a steep downhill, off road, I could hear this soft clanging of sorts that got louder and louder the closer I got to the base of the mountain. As I followed the path, I crossed a farmer's backyard, turned a corner, and there was a herd of sheep. The clanging sound were the sheep bells! It was an awesome moment I will never forget. I have to tell you that Portugal is now one of my favorite places! The people are unassuming and genuinely friendly. When I would bike into a town, I would wonder where the "touristy" cafes were...you know the places that overcharge for a coffee. What I found were real cafes and the locals sitting and sipping coffee or a beer. As far as the services, bikes were awesome, biking with a GPS is the way to go, scenery, spectacular!

I'm filling this out as we booked with you twice--Burges to Amsterdam in 2012 and Venice to Mantova in 2014. both were bike and barge. We are about to book with you for the spring of this year--we are looking at 2 in Germany and the northern Netherlands We have yet to make up our minds on which one. We have had a great experience with your company and looking forward to another.
