Except for one day of peddling through a very industrial area, the scenery along the Rhine was beautiful. For the most part off road on dedicated wide cycle paths. Each evening the tour director/convenor provided an orientation for the route the following day. The food on the barge was excellent. No complaints at all. Very good value.
Note: The cabins at the back of the barge seemed a bit more cramped and noisy.

The staff and the tour guides made this trip awesome. I would have given it a 5, but we were stuck on the boat in Auxerre for the week due to a broken lock on the Yonne river, so I can't rate what we didn't see. That said, our tour guides developed a beautiful series of bike rides based in our near Auxerre (all on the fly). The staff on the boat were awesome too - working together as a team and making relationships with all the guests. I can say with certainty that all 22 guests had a fantastic week.

A superb week! Winny and the team were so well organised and calm making a really enjoyable week for biking and sailing. We loved discovering this part of the Netherlands which we didn't know at all and were able to see and learn a lot about it both with the guides on the bikes and the crew on the boat. An added bonus was the food - exceptional 3 course meals every evening and hearty breakfasts to start the day. A great success!

Our tour guides and staff on the ship were fabulous. Our ship had mechanical issues including air condition failure, generator failure, ice machine failure and generator failure. The ship waived the fuel surcharge to compensate but I was glad I was on an upper deck with a window.

Kristen did a wonderful job helping us plan our trip and then executing the logistics. The bikes were first-rate, and when we did have a problem with one, it was quickly swapped out.

Three things impressed me that were different from our last trip with Tripsite.
1. The Tripsite app was superb and quickly replaced a paid bike app I had planned to use. We also liked the local city tour guides in the app.
2. We chose to take a day off every 3 to 4 days and upgraded our lodgings for those double-night stays to Deluxe Accommodations, which we found very nice and greatly appreciated. I want to clarify that you offer two accommodation levels: deluxe and superior. To me, the wording seems reversed: "superior" typically implies a higher level than "deluxe," but here "deluxe" was the better accommodations.
3. The food was delicious throughout the trip. At times, it felt as much like a food tour as a biking adventure, making the experience very memorable.
Thank you for making our trip stress-free and enjoyable.

The biking was perfect and mostly on small roads and paths. This is a beautiful countryside and we loved our tour! I hope to book another trip soon. I would highly recommend it to friends!

This was an unbelievable and unforgettable trip at every level! The Bellezza is a beautiful yacht that cruises calmly and quietly through the beautiful Croatian water! The Captain and the Crew provide genuine customer care from the navigation and mooring, to the outstanding housekeeping services, and the Food and Beverage staff with the outstanding meals and beverage services. The Bike Tour Guides provided exceptional tour leadership that ensured safety and tons of fun!

We had a great time on our Catalonian tour. The biking was amazing, hotel stays were fabulous, sites were incredible, and the time together was priceless. We went from Girona to Figueres - but if we had to do it again, we’d recommend going from Figueres to Girona. We also stayed two nights in Palafrugell - which was a perfect spot for two nights!!! The tapas experience bar there was amazing Calau, mmm! So were Puig park and Goflet beaches. Great spot for two nights. The accommodations were all good, but the better spots imo were in Palafrugell and SFdG - thus saving them for the end of the trip seems more ideal in hindsight. Tripsite team was super accommodating and helpful and the Catalonian group were also fabulous - big thanks to Vega for getting us all set up and squared away. :)
Two things to note, check the app out in advance. Helpful intel on sites to see along the way, vs going to your destination. And two, if you want to visit wineries - some aren’t open until after 4, so be aware of that on your schedule or have tripsite book.
Overall, would highly recommend this experience. All of these locations would be hard to get to by car for people worried about driving on a foreign country, biking made it so in reach and it was an incredible 5star, life impacting experience. Thank you to the people of Spain for the hospitality and generosity and for preserving such incredible historical sites.

Hard to say the most memorable as it was all great. The team was excellent. Each was expert in their roles. The team made for a joyous time. The bikes worked well, the food was great, the cycling was fun.

We had a couple of picnics out in the countryside in wonderful spots. Sometimes you can find a nice picnic table in a perfect spot. We would go to a grocery store before leaving and pick up a baguette and snacks. It was wonderful. There are also cafes and restaurants on the way for other days.

We really enjoyed our bike and barge thru the Dalmatian Islands. Tripsite was very helpful and great communicators.
Boat was beautiful, clean and comfortable. Bikes were in excellent condition, shout out for the e-bikes, couldn’t have done it without them!
Guides were great communicators, guardians and cheerleaders. It was great to have a plan mapped out each morning and evening. We saw unbelievable sights, enjoyed our companions and learned a lot!
Would highly recommend this route and we hope to do another trip next year.

Very friendly and capable crew and bike tour leader. I highly recommend this tour if you are a bike rider. If you're planning on using an electric bike- test ride one mear your home to insure it's good for you.

The scenery and ease of biking through the Netherlands were wonderful. I loved cycling past windmills, canals and wildlife. I loved cycling through marshes and small towns and cities. I loved experiencing bike ferries and bike parking garages.
The tour guides were fun and very helpful. The boat crew was also helpful and worked hard to help us in any way they could. The food was good and the boat was clean and very comfortable.

The bike route was fantastic with stunning scenery along the coast line.

Riding through the woods of the Schoorlse Duinen and the Friesland ride.

Overall the trip was wonderful but I only got to ride the bikes one day. You incorrectly described the biking as easy/ moderate. After booking and paying for plane tickets, right before we left, I got information describing the biking as 4/5. I would not have booked this trip if I had known it was not easy. Some other passengers and the guides were also upset. It put us all in a difficult/ dangerous position. I would appreciate a response concerning this matter. Thank you.

We absolutely LOVED this trip! We've done other boat and bike tours before, but this particular trip added another dimension of island hopping and cruising on the open water as well. To visit six islands that while similar all have their own character, and to share the experience in such a small group was so much fun. The island terrain was challenging but the e-bikes made it so manageable. We loved the experience of each day a new adventure, with the evenings in a different port and having the opportunity to wander and explore. Our guides Ana and Mateo were so enthusiastic and full,of energy they brought such fun to the trip. And with their love of their country and their guiding we learned so much about the beautiful,country of Croatia. The captain and the crew were outstanding! I'm sold on the island hopping experience for future biking trips!

The Bellezza is a beautiful and spacious boat with a very professional and helpful staff who all made the week wonderful. Each day was different and each bike ride was fantastic. The Captain of the Bellezza continuously ensured that weather would not hinder our biking and made appropriate adjustments when needed (high winds expected one day). The two bike guides were fantastic and worked well together.

This is the second trip on the Danube we have done. The first was in 2019. The rest days were nice as we had the opportunity to explore some of the cities we didn't have time for the last trip. The weather was outstanding, actually quite warm which unfortunately exposed a weakness in the ships air conditioning. It was quite warm in the bar for the briefings and in the dining room as well. We didn't find the briefing sessions as informative as in past trips, partly because the guide's English was not easy to understand. Some PPT presentations would have helped. As usual the staff was very helpful and professional. The entertainment night was a hit.

For our Intrepid group that bicycles once a year on an overseas trip this was a dream come true! The yacht is just as great as it looks in the pictures. The e-bikes were fantastic the bike leaders were great and the staff on the ship were terrific. Although we did not realize how much Croatia has been found by tours it is still a beautiful country. Very much worth the price.

The other passengers, fellow riders were skilled annd pleasant. August and head server high quality. . Boat clean. Crew AOK. Boat doesn't use sails. Mainsail boom bolted in place and inoperative
