5 Star Europe Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 4924

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Although the Danube River was at a 100yr+ low and we were unable to traverse past Vienna, the cruise offered several alternative exploring options that satisfied my group.

Met some really nice people at out table that included us with their group.
All the staff were extremely kind and courteous.

Excellent trip. This is our 3rd Bike and Boat adventure with Trip Site and our favorite. The weather was a little rough - rain and rolling seas. The captain and crew made it truly enjoyable. It is a very unique tour - great adventure touring the various volcanic Islands. We loved seeing the active volcano at night and touring the vineyards in Salina.

Outstanding tour leader and overall crew. Well-planned routes (except for the gravel parts :) and interesting sights. Excellent, plentiful food. Wonderful fellow travelers. Basic but comfortable cabin. This was a very memorable experience for us, and we would enjoy another similar tour with this company.

Riding from Amsterdam to Bruges was such an awesome way to see the gorgeous countryside, canal paths and charming little towns on the ride. Coming back to the boat every evening was definitely the highlight, with great food, relaxing views from the water, and fun company to unwind with.

Very well organized, everything was nicely done. My only negative feedback is that the daily stops were too many and much too long! There is no need for a 40 minute coffee break at 10am when we had just begun riding at 9am. The lunch breaks were also too long, I would much have preferred riding for an hour+ and then stopping for a quick break. Breaks could have been 20 minutes. The stop in Trier was also too long at almost 3 hours, it was unexpected and we were not prepared to be left on our own to kill that amount of time. It would have been better to have spent that time riding, or at least give us a heads up that we would be on our own so plan accordingly, in my opinion it was a waste of time.

Everything was great. The guides were friendly and knowledgable. The food was excellent. The Harmonia was beautiful.

Memorable was the first farm we stayed at with the 2000 year old trees and stories of an archeological dig. We were very grateful for the interpreter that the tour provided at that first farm stay.

The lodging was outstanding in every location. It was easy to get to restaurants and museums from our old town locations.

We did extra days in Matera before the ride and we were very glad we did.

We had a language mixup. They asked if we wanted a twin rooms or a double. And I assumed twin meant putting two twins together for us. But it actually meant two places to sleep as if Steve and I were not a couple. If they would have asked, do you sleep separately and want separatel beds I would have understood. So many of our accommodations had the couch made up or an extra bed in the room. It was a waist

We could have used a paneer. They asked us to haul the charger with us on the bikes. That, the tools, the pump, the extra tube... There wasn't much room for stashing jackets and rain gear. We both broke the strap on the top of the back bag trying to fit our jacket under it.

The boat Staff was excellent we were well taken care of. The Food served onboard was awesome.

The Bike Staff had a couple daily meetings with the group. Keeping us informed of daily rides.
They also were very helpful if needed along the routes.

We had a very enjoyable time.
