Europe Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 7631

Biking along the coastline was wonderful. We made plenty of stops so we were able to walk around and take photos. Our guides did an excellent job along the Route. All our hotels are very good.

What an amazing trip down the coast of Portugal. The views were amazing, loved the unique hotels/resorts we stayed at and the bikes were great! The difficulty rating for this trip is the only reason I am giving it 4 stars instead of 5. We felt it should have been higher with all the gravel, dirt and sand vs the easy to moderate rating it was given.

Biking is the right speed to enjoy everything the Camino has to offer - rural, urban, small towns, seaside dunes, and forests.
The crew at TripSite and locally were very professional and responded to queries expeditiously. Alberto did a great job setting us up the bikes and the GPS unit (which kept us on the right path over 280 km. The route was well planned and fun to follow - we did the self-guided tour and were able to stop whenever and wherever we wanted to.

We did the self guided tour and loved that the gps was programmed through forest roads, rural areas and along the pilgrimage trail. Entire experience was top notch and we will use tripsite again for our next bike adventure !

Traveling along the coastline with beautiful views. Lodgings were very good. The leaders were attentive, helpful and knowledgeable.

The ride is listed as easy to moderate. Our group consisted of strong and experienced road and mountain/ gravel riders, but most were in their 70s. We found it at least a moderate ride and not for beginners. There were long steep hills and some difficult gravel stretches. For this group, e-bikes are recommended.

Fantastic trip. The hikes were very scenic. Our guide Bernard had great knowledge of the history and nature of the areas we visited pointing out many details along the way. The hikes themselves were not hard at all but felt more like nice long walks around nature with enough elevation to make it enjoyable. The food was delicious and plentiful and they had great wine selections. The service was impeccable and cruise director and entertainment lead (Tatiana and Carla) were helpful, friendly and very fun. The scenery while cruising was a good way to relax in a lounge chair watching the green hills carved with vineyards and greenery. Beautiful trip. It was our first time in Portugal and I loved it.

The beautiful coastline, wine tour and tasting, the fado singers, the tour of Amalia’s home, were fabulous highlights. If I had to pick just one, it would be the guided tour of the famous fado singer Amália.

We had a great time. As avid cyclists, and ones that do cycle vacations often, we found this one to be a little more challenging then we thought. We had unless wrong turns and the various terrain was a big challenge. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and we loved visiting the different towns and the culture.

Super poor communications from Tripsite. Lack of timely information regarding changes in the itinerary did not allow us any opportunity to cancel or reschedule or discuss options. We contacted Tripsite many times and most Inquires to Tripsite staff and requests for manager to call did not get a response.

Crew on the boat tried to be positive and accommodate a new plan but the boat hadn’t been to the scheduled stops in months. Better communication from Tripsite would have enabled us to make changes or adjust. We were unable to boat to several stops and a 3 hour each way bus ride was simply not an acceptable option.

I would not use Tripsite again.

Stunningly beautiful scenery! Cycling was very easy with an e-bike.

Very nice bike boat tour. Nice service, nice boat, great bike guide . Generally, great trip!

We loved our time aboard the Sundial and the beauty of the Aeolian Islands. Angelo and his family offered an amazing experience for onboard living, planning for our daily excursions (a shout out to Nico here for his wonderful e-bike tours) and delicious meals embracing regional food. The scenery was stunning, especially the erupting volcano Stromboli!

The guides and the crew were fantastic. The scenery and history was breathtaking. The cabin was spacious, food was excellent. The bikes were easy to use. Really enjoyed the long ride to Groznjan.

The scenery was excellent. We swam every day at lovely beaches in crystal clear water. Our guides, Ester and Dimitri were excellent.

Biking was great.
Negative was the extremely wavy waters the last two nights. Many people got sick.

The biking was so wonderful. Stopping to explore castles, having lunch at a beautiful lake, having time to explore on our own.
The dinners on board were so delicious. The boat itself was beautiful. Big enough to find yourself alone or a part of a crowd talking about the day that just passed.

Our last night on the boat was quite memorable. The meal was excellent and beautifully prepared. Entertainment on board was an added surprise and made all the more fun when our captain, the staff and our guides joined in the revelry. The whole trip was very well executed and the staff and guides were top notch.

The Harmonia is a beautiful and comfortable boat. Our trip was just wonderful. The staff on the boat were friendly and the food was plentiful and delicious. The bikes were comfortable and super well maintained. Our guides really made the trip for us.
When asked about the best part,…. It’s the feeling you get riding thru the countryside from village to village. It was always nice come back to the comfortable boat, on the Adriatic Sea.

Just biking through the vineyards, olive and cork farms was amazing. Biking through the small villages was a great experience.

Bikes were top quality, guides (Thomas and Wim) were fun, cook was excellent - food choices good. Iris (the barge) beds were comfortable. Hostess/waitress was very helpful. Crew (Kevin) was available and very nice. Captain did a great job navigating. Days riding (6) were well planned out with frequent breaks, so no sore bottoms. Room was small (as expected on a barge) but more than adequate. Private shower larger than expected. Next time I go I will remember to bring magnetic hooks for more hanging space. It was a great trip.

I loved the cycling, our accommodations were excellent especially the farm guest homes, and our guides were very friendly. It was great to have swimming pools at several hotels. I especially liked Lucca and Sienna. What would have made this trip better was having more participants. There were only four of us. Our guide, Antonio, was very nice especially towards the end of our trip when he shared information about the farms and vineyards, etc. and at our final dinner. However, I think our pace was too fast and it left me and others struggling to keep up. I think a slower pace and more frequent stops to talk about the environment and maybe take photos would have made the tour better. I also thought the bikes were not of the same quality as in previous tours. Mine had very squeaky brakes.

The captain & crew of the barge, as well as our bike tour leader Hetty, we're great. We enjoyed spending time in that part of Germany.

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.

The boat was spacious. The food amazing. The guides stellar. What more can I say?

The countryside that we cycled through was beautiful and the cycling infrastructure incredible! Belgium and The Netherlands were perfect locations for a first bike trip for us. Also loved staying on the boat so we didn’t have to worry about meals or packing up!

This was a fantastic tour, love the country side of Belgium and Holland. Of course very biking friendly. the staff and support were fantastic. This was a self guided tour and our Tour guide gave us great briefing daily. I would recommend this tour to any one who wishes to bike and enjoy visiting .

Enjoyed the short time I was there. Great people. Franklin was very helpful when I landed in hospital.
