Europe Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 7631

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.

The rides, service and food were amazing. We had so much fun.

I especially enjoyed staying in the Old Cities - Split, Hvar and Korcula

Great scenery along the Adige River valley. Some great hiking in the Oberbolzana area.

Loved the biking that we did along the river's edge and into the small towns - serene and beautiful. The e-bikes were great, in good working order, and always powered-up and ready to go. The staff of the Lisabelle were wonderful and did a great job to make us feel well looked after and accommodated us very well when we were on the ship. Giving only three stars because, even though we knew the trip had changed before we left due to low water on the Danube, it was changed even more once we arrived, and we were not able to bike outside of Austria. While I appreciated that the company bussed people to Bratislava and Budapest to see these cities - it was not the experience I was hoping for, and required much more decision making than my brain wanted to make on a pre-planned tour. Would definitely go on another bike tour though!

This was our first tour planned by someone else and our first on electric bikes. It was fantastic. The service was incredible. When we had a minor issue with a bike (a pedal broke!), they sent someone out in a taxi with pedals. We felt totally supported even though it was not a group ride. We loved the castles, rivers, riding through the countryside seeing sugar beets and onions being harvested. The towns and town squares were incredible!

The guides for biking were very clear on expectations for each days ride! Overall an Excellent experience on all fronts!

I loved having breakfast while we were moving upriver and enjoyed being on the deck after a day of riding while the boat was sailing. I would have loved more of that.

The staff is wonderful, the food was excellent. The riding with such beautiful scenery was just amazing.
Little confusion with this whole trip. Water levels were low for sometime, and yet we were given 2 days to decide if we wanted to cancel or proceed. Overall had a great time, but communication between cruise director and passengers could definitely improve.

I would definitely recommend doing this trip if you want a unique way to tour Croatia. The bikes rides were great, our tour guides were very knowledgeable and fun! The crew took great care of us and the food was great.

This trip exceeded any expectations I may have had. The gorgeous scenery that I encountered the wonderful little towns, and the road trips on our bikes were all beautiful. Our cruise ship the Belza was stunning. The staff were wonderful. The meals we had were out of this world and our tour guides were just fantastic. I think this was a triple lifetime, and I know if I took another one it would not live up to the experience that I had also, there were 30 of us on this boat and everyone just enjoyed one other’s company so much. I loved everything about this trip. Thank you so much.

Very well organized. Great guides-- when i went Andre and Meike were the guides. The food was delicious. This was,a very pleasant relaxing trip for me.

What a fun adventure! The boat was always very smooth, food was always excellent, biking was a huge bonus, typically followed by a great lunch and then tootling around the next gorgeous island marina in search of the next beautiful pics… and a cold beverage! Stellar 4-course dinners with like-minded adventurist was always a great way to cap-off the day! Guides and crew were all top-notch! Just got back home and already seeking out our next trip!

Our guides were excellent! Very friendly and accommodating. Very knowledgeable on all aspects of the tour.

This boat and bike adventure was a wonderful way to explore the beauty of the northern Adriatic islands. From the bikes we enjoyed wonderful vistas and from the boat we were able to enjoy the beautiful harbors and harbor towns had to offer.

The Angela Lora is a beautiful boat, lots of space to enjoy the journey both in the common areas and on the deck. The guides and staff were excellent,

Guides' knowledge and helpfulness, scenery and views, food quality and presentation

Our lodging locations and accommodations were awesome. We stayed one night at an Olive Farm with a few 2,000 year old trees and ancient ruins were discovered right on the property. The tour provided an interpreter for the evening so we could learn about the trees and the ruins. Fascinating.

We also very much enjoyed Matera. We booked extra days there and we were very glad we did. The cave homes and churches we incredible to see and explore. Our accomodations there were so convenient to walk less than a block to see the Sassi, enjoy restaurants and shops.

The one draw back is the reliance on GPS when we were going through the old cities with tall buildings we would constantly be struggling to find our way.

Stay away from the mud, it is very sticky clay.

Extraordinary Cycling Experience from Lucca to Florence!

Cycling from Lucca to Florence (over 200+ miles) was both a rewarding challenge and an absolutely awesome adventure! We pedaled through iconic Renaissance and Medieval gems like Lucca, Vinci, San Gimignano, and Siena, while also winding past countless smaller, charming towns. Along the way, we treated ourselves to amazing local delicacies and, of course, the region's famous red Chianti wine. Our incredible journey finally wrapped up in beautiful Florence.
What truly made this trip special was our guiding team, who were there to help with every single issue and question along the way:
• Michael (Cycling Guide): Michael brought a wonderful, deeply personal touch to the tour. Because we were a small group, he carefully tailored his advice and comments to match each of our individual cycling levels. He showed immense patience with all of us and made sure absolutely everyone felt clear and confident on the road.
• Antonio (Guide & Route Planner): Antonio is the mastermind behind the itinerary, guiding us along truly incredible trails and roads around each town. His deep knowledge of Italy's history is incredibly impressive! While his patience could run a bit short—especially when we found ourselves in a few tight spots or troubleshooting on the trail—he had a lot of different personalities to manage in our group, and he deserves a ton of credit for keeping us moving and safe.
Overall, it was an extraordinary experience that I would highly recommend to anyone looking to see Tuscany on two wheels!

Nice small group. Route was mostly flat making it easy to enjoy the surroundings. Last ride was away from river and through beautiful woods. On varied surfaces. It was the best ride for me. The barge was top notch… modern, clean, spacious. Guides were fun and knowledgeable about the history of the areas we rode to. Barge staff friendly and on top of things. This was my first bike/barge and I was hesitant but it did not disappoint.

What a wonderful way to experience this part of Italy! Such a variety of scenery, from endless vineyards and apple orchards to forest trails and mountain villages. Each day was unique.

The hotels were amazing – the wellness centers were always a welcome treat after a long day of walking. The app was so easy to follow and gave us shorter or less challenging route options when we wanted them.

Overall, a fantastic experience!

This was our 5th bike barge trip and we ranked it #1. Great sites and tours, great food, great boat and accommodations, amazing staff and guides (Ronald and Frans) on the Magnifique IV.

This was a custom tour from Blois to Saumur. It was our 4th trip with your company, and not up to your prior standards.
-the ap had no useful info for places to eat (it marked every place w no useful descriptions) and we ended up often in low quality touristy restaurants though we occasionally found better ones just by luck.
-Blois, especially in the area we stayed is no place to stay for 2 nights (or really even one night). It is dingy and dirty and depressed.
-all the hotels were clean in the rooms but shabby and tired and dirty in common areas, and this was despite paying for the upgrade to superior hotels.
-I would be interested in hearing back from you on how this happened. thank you
