5 Star Europe Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 4924

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

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 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,

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 great tour, very well organized and executed by the tour team, headed by Jordy and Kris on the bikes and Bob as captain of the ship. The ship was beautiful and clean, the bikes excellent, and the places visited, memorable. Food on board was excellent. Would go again.

Daniel and Kevin made our bike trip incredibly special and memorable. We felt very well taken care of and just had a ton of joy with all of the experiences. It only made us want to do another trip again soon.

We enjoyed our tour and especially Felipe our guide. Sergio also was above and beyond very helpful with providing medical assistance for supples for my Type 1 diabetes. Our guide Felipe was very attentive to our dietary needs during our daily rides.
All of our lodging experiences were above our expectation's, wonderful breakfasts. However it would have been beneficial for our guide to be staying in the same hotels.
Having time to have more experiences within the cities we stayed at, perhaps a few guided tour options in the evenings.
Bike tour scenery was amazing and the overall bike ride was challenging.

Biking was ideal as along bike paths 90% of the time. The weather was wonderful. Bike staff were great getting bikes out everyday.

Riding through the countryside and small Austrian communities was amazing. This was such a unique way to see the scenery. The MS Vivviene was very comfortable. The staff and food were great. Five course meals were exceptional.

Excellent experience. I traveled alone from Colombia. I took the Prague to Passau tour. Communication was excellent, as was the bike (I requested a gravel bike). The hotels were good; they were all bike-friendly (they had a designated area to park the bike). Highly recommended.
You really need at least one more day in Prague. Also, Cesky Krumlov is a lovely city, would reach as soon as possible to aproach the day.

This was our first bike and barge trip and it EXCEEDED all expectations!!! The Ave Maria ITALIA was a beautiful boat with a spacious cabin for storing all luggage -we were on the upper deck, having 2 large portholes-one that opened slightly for fresh air, even though that was never needed. The chefs, Danny and Michaela always served us the highest quality of dinners/meals and the self serve breakfasts were substantial and delicious. We enjoyed packing our box lunch each morning for the day’s adventures. Our 2 guides, Sylvia (lead) and Pietro were top notch!! Having a lead bike and end (sweep) kept us all safe, regardless the speed of individual riders, which most of our 30 person group chose e-bikes. The (level easy) rides were always flat with slight variations of road conditions (paved, gravel) and all bikers were happy and confident. At times when we entered the busier towns along the way, our EXCEPTIONALLY skilled and personable guides kept everyone safe, navigating us all through many turns to get us to the town centre for our scheduled stops. Many times we had ‘surprise’ stops for tourist interest spots which were highlights!! Can’t say enough about this tour, especially ending in Venice as a finale, just blew our minds. And our entire crew, all spectacular in their own right, Captain Yano, techy Samuele kept the boat in perfect condition functionally and throughout the entire navigational route —-this was a vacation that will remain HIGH in our memories and already starting to plan our NEXT bike and barge trip!! Thank you all, thank you, Tripsite!!!

The most memorable part was the camaraderie that we saw and felt with the staff. The Capt., the Chef and sous chef, the engineer and the two Tour Guide guides were absolutely amazing.

The views between Krems and Melk were stunning. I highly recommend getting a guide as ours. Axel, was very knowledgeable.

The food on the barge was very plentiful and the staff was very cohesive and fun. I recommend the experience entirely.

The island rides were fabulous, through the interiors, along the waterfronts and through the olive groves and vineyards. The rides were well organized, the guides excellent, and the insight into the topography and history informative.

Amazing Trip!

We enjoyed the bike ride. The description of the trip was very accurate. The accommodations were also as described.

Thank you for a great trip.

We had the absolute best time on our recent bike and barge trip aboard the Ave Maria, cycling from Venice to Mantova.
Thanks to Chef Alberto and his assistant Sylvia, the meals on board were outstanding. Captain Bughi and tech engineer Fabio ensured smooth sailing and maintained the barge. Our cycling guides, Silvia and Pietro, were phenomenal—expertly navigating us through gorgeous countryside and charming villages with high energy and smiles every day. What truly made the week special, though, was the crew's collective attitude; everyone consistently went above and beyond, pitching in across all aspects of the trip to ensure our cycling holiday was absolutely fabulous.

I love the option of Viking and sightseeing. The open CU was fantastic and well organized.

The bike path was very interesting and varied, even with 80% being on gravel. Loved riding beside the Inn River every day. It became a faithful friend. The accommodation was great quality and well chosen for an enjoyable meal each evening. The rides around St Moritz lakes on the first day was a treat. Riding late September meaning it was very cold on the bikes until around 12pm. Highly recommend the ride.

I loved riding through the countryside. I also appreciated the bike paths and few cars.

We loved going through the small villages that were off the beaten path and meeting the locals
We had a great guide - Ale - who was there to guide us in the right direction and provide snacks and drinks along the way
