Europe Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 6247

Beautiful countryside, saw so much beauty and the staff on the boat were lovely snd made us very comfortable.

This was a challenging ride, not because of the hills or the ponds we had to get through but because of the rutted sand, rock and gravel surfaces we biked on. I suppose it might be easy mountain biking , but not easy biking. Memorable though and great guides.

Everything about our trip was fantastic. The bikes were brand new. The crew as superb. The food was excellent. The boat was delightful. Our fellow trip participants were a delight. We are so glad we chose to go on this trip.

I especially liked the ability to bike through farmlands, quaint country villages, vineyards, apple orchards and see old castles, church spires, rolling hills in the background and of course, the beautiful Danube river was always on our side. Most of all though, was the chance to visit Bratislava, Budapest, Vienna and Munich on foot and enjoy the different food offerings and beers!
We did do the excursion into Budapest at night and that was fabulous. Seeing the three bridges all lit up and riding around Pest after having goulash and watching the dinner show of dancers and musicians was lovely, I'd do it all over again!

Very well organized. Friendly and attentive staff. My brother and I had such a great time. The weather was mostly great, and even when it rained on us, it didn't matter. We were weather-proofed and active, so kept warm. We got a little tired mid-week, after doing 40 mile rides, so were thinking that planning an easier day mid-week or doing something else off-bike would help with the muscle recovery. We rode regular bikes, so the e-bike people may not have the same comment. You are always welcome to stay on the boat or do the shorter routes, but we wanted to see it all!

One inconvenience with the trip is when you could and couldn't use credit cards on the boat. It was inconsistent. We found ourselves short of Euros because they wouldn't accept credit cards when my brother wanted to rent an e-bike for a couple days . . . but you could use your credit card to buy drink cards! Go figure.

Our Italian chef Irena made the best food that we had on the whole trip.and Italian steward Deanna Selected the wines. Both were so gracious and professional are afternoons and evenings were made perfect. The itineraries were perfect such beautiful small villages add scenery. The bikes were much better than we expected. Definitely go electric. Our boat the Estella was very nice.

Riding through the tulip fields, visiting the huge Tulip Garden and the Flower Auction. All amazing!

My husband and I are not avid cyclists but we found the 7-Day Family Biking Tour rated “easy”, exactly that in terms of terrain and distances. The towns along this course are quaint and easy to navigate as a cyclist. The terrain in between towns and overnight stays were especially scenic and enjoyable!

All members of your team were top notch. Thank you for the beautiful memories!

Riding thru the tulip fields was amazing. A memorable experience.

Loved every day of the bike rides, especially through natural areas including the tulip and hyacinth fields, the dunes, wooded areas, and of course to Keukenhof Gardens

The boat, guides, bikes, and routes of the trip were awesome! I certainly did not want the riding to end. If I had to pick anything that I would change it would be that the food was a little "lite". When I am riding up to 35 miles a day, I need something a little more substantial for breakfast and dinner.
Joan and Betina were amazing and went above and beyond the whole trip.

The most memorable part of the trip was riding our bikes through the tulip fields. Bettina was our guide that day and she made sure that we could stop and see all of the lovely tulip fields. Another really amazing part of the trip was to the Flower Auction (Flora Holland). I had never seen anything like that. I would absolutely recommend this as part of any future trips to the Netherlands. I have been to the Keukenhoff two times before and am always impressed with the floral displays on the grounds there. The food on this trip was pretty good but it was definitely not the highlight of the trip. The boat was very clean but even the upstairs rooms were pretty compact. Towel bar warmers in the bathrooms would habe been a nice touch, as they tend to help with drying laundry that has been handwashed.

I loved the upclose feeling to nature that being on a bike offers.

what a wonderful trip we had riding bikes surrounding the city of Amsterdam.
The staff on board our barge/boat were wonderful. Hard-working, accommodating and very friendly and tending to all our needs.

Great experience and crew made our stay amazing! The rooms were larger than expected and meals were great.

The barge (Magnifique IV) was so clean and felt very new. The rooms snd common space were great. We had a suite which had 2 double beds pushed together, a small sitting area and a nice bathroom. The food was excellent and the bike riding was easy or hard depending on if you put the e bike on. I recommend an e-bike because the regular bike is the same without the battery. Our guides were really informative and took us through beautiful countryside. We loved the trip.

As with any trip of this type, the people make all the difference. The crew of the Magnifique IV were fantastic. The bike guides were all that we could have hoped for. Hans and Thomas guided us masterfully. We had a good comfortable pace, they were knowledgeable, fun, patient, protective, professional and happy. Boat crew was on point. The food was excellent and the boat was first class nice. Everything was 5 star good. The sights were well chosen and really interesting. Tulips were amazing. Keukenhof was my highlight followed closely by the incredible flower market auction area. Loved biking through the neat as a pin small towns and the beautiful countryside.

Excellent boat, service, food, staff, etc. - However, the biking had too many dangerous spots. It wasn't all "idyllic"as promoted on your site.

Of course the tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths were beautiful and we picked a good time to go. We had good sunny weather, we were lucky with that. The Keukenhof gardens were well worth the stop. Our group of 8 were very impressed with the food and the staff were great.

Bike paths were very good and enjoyable. This was the first bike trip for me and I felt safe. The company was very responsive to our inquiries along the paths. The scenery was beautiful and the villages and hotels along the way were very good. Breakfast included in every stop was very helpful.

This was a fantastic trip. The crew was excellent, the food was truly gourmet and the bike rides and guides made every day a fun adventure. I would recommend to anyone.

Our chef Peter was AMAZING, as well as the entire crew! Never have I been on a tour with such an incredible delightful crew so willing to assist. WOW!

Everything was, well, just perfect! The schooner was so clean, and the Captain was a true joy to be around. All of the crew bent over backwards to please and make sure that I had the grandest time ever. And believe me, I did! My biking adventure came to life with Tom and Hilda at the lead. Such a memorable trip!

Loved it all! The crew was wonderful, food excellent, biking experience great, overall would highly recommend. Other than the cold weather I wouldn’t change a thing.
Only suggestion- a little better communication on the rides. Sometimes difficult to hear & see.

Tour guides were great. We enjoyed the experience very much. This year, the timing was a little early as the the flowers in the fields were not fully in bloom yet, but it was fun to see the beautiful countryside.

The food on the boat could be improved.

The Merljin is a beautiful and classy barge. The staff are first rate and the food very special. Our guide Tammy was superb and the other members of our group all terrific. This goes down as a "one of best" vacations ever. We learned so much about the Netherlands, the culture, history, and resources. And, of course the flowers along the way were amazing!

Our experience on the Merlijn was outstanding! Captain Coen and chef Cristina own the boat, and their pride of ownership made this our favorite (of three) Tripsite bike and boat vacations. They made us feel like we were guests in their home. (It is their home, actually). The high quality bikes, remodeled cabins, and delicious meals had our group of 24 guests singing their praises. We had wonderful rides through towns, neighborhoods, past windmills and farms. The crescendo was seeing the vast fields of flowers and the famous Keukenhof Gardens. I just can’t say enough about this amazing trip.

Bicycling past the flower-growing fields was a magical experience.

Great hotels, good e-bikes, beautiful views, very good planning.

We do self-guided and was a great experience.

Very recommended.

We had a wonderful time on this tour ,everthing went very smoothly the bikes were excellent but throughout our tour every aspect had been
carefully planned and orchestrated. We can highly recommend this spectacular introduction to Holland and many thanks to the owner who made us feel so cared for.
