5 Star Europe Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 4680

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.

Everything on his trip was wonderful! The boat was the best one we have been on, the cabins were large and they had sliding doors that opened to the river, the food was gourmet quality. The rides took us to wonderful cities which we walked through and toured from canal boats. The scenery was delightful and changing every day from river views to farmland and small towns. When we got to Paris one of the guides stayed there and was so helpful in getting us to the places we wanted to see.Like our own personal concierge.

The guides were fantastic- boat was comfortable and luxurious- food was delicious- and scenery was amazing.

The boat, the islands, the crew, the food, the guides and the people.

We spent 9 days soaking in the beauty of the Baltic States—at times gentle and pastoral, at others rugged and raw. This felt like a corner of Europe that most travellers simply pass by. The hotel were top notch where we could retreat for the night with tired legs and sore bums. I would not change a thing! A truly unforgettable journey through the Baltics, 440 kilometres on two wheels, three new countries explored, and countless memories gathered along the way. Thank you Tripsite!

Everything was top notch! The people. the crew, the food...everything!
One suggestion...when serving dinner entrees from whatever country the boat is currently in, please include the type of meat in English (ie: chicken or pork, etc.)

The trip was well organized. The tour guides weee knowledgeable and fun. The food on board the ship was much better than expected. Bike ride wa fantastic.

For me, this trip was the perfect blend of biking, island exploration, and time spent enjoying one of the most beautiful, immaculate, and comfortable boats imaginable.

The crew was efficient, accommodating, and attentive throughout the journey. The food was delicious and plentiful, with multiple courses at dinner and wonderful desserts. The breakfast buffet offered something for everyone.

The bikes were well maintained and ready each day for our rides. If you've ridden a bike before, you should have no trouble handling the hills with the e-bikes. Each day brought scenery more beautiful than the last. Croatia is a stunning country and should be on everyone's travel list.

The coordination between Tripsite and Island Hopping Bike Tours was seamless. We were fortunate to have perfect weather, great travel companions, and two exceptional guides, Ana and Tara. They were knowledgeable, funny, organized, hardworking, and a genuine pleasure to be around. They truly were the frosting on the cake of an already wonderful trip.

The boat/bike trip was great, but we had great weather which makes a huge difference. The boat was fun, the boat crew were great. Captain Bob was excellent. The service crew was very good. The breakfasts got a little repetitive, but were good. Dinners were also very good…desserts were also basically the same every night, but good. The biking tours with Jordy and Pim were great and they would go above and beyond offering walking tours in the evenings. There were some confusing communications from tripsite that the boat would in fact only accept Euros for the bar bill, but Swedish and Danish money were accepted as well. This confusion cost us a bit in exchange fees that we could have avoided. And on tipping, we stuck with the 5-7% recommendation in Tripsite documentation, but the messaging from the boat staff was kinda higher and confusing. All in all, a wonderful trip.

Our group of 10 cyclists enjoyed a lovely self-guided tour from Tours to Angers thanks to Tripsite and their local tour operator. Kirsten with Tripsite was very attentive to our needs and spot on in developing a tour package that worked for our group, including merging this tour with the Tours-Angers leg. The scenery was breathtaking, the cycling was varied and fun, and the selected hotels and restaurants were memorable. We highly recommended selecting the chateaux and restaurants packages if you are traveling with a large group.

Great mix of beautiful coast line, old villages, historic sites and rolling terrain.

Unusual and excellent itinerary starting in Amsterdam and ending in Paris. Beautiful barge with lovely accommodations and amazing, stunningly presented food. Nice group size.

Prague to Vienna is very romantic sounding and it was despite the 335 miles of beautiful rolling countryside in Czechia and the 18,500 feet of climbing. Most memorable is the constant undulating beauty of the Czech countryside and the amazing historical towns. There is natural and human scale beauty at every turn. The Czech people I suppose have become tolerant to visitors that cannot even say thank you correctly but they are universally cordial. We are avid cyclists but over 70 so I would call it a challenging trip. We took a rest day in Znojmo which turned out to be necessary because 9 straight days of riding was too much. And it is a thoroughly interesting town. We knew little of Czechia but would recommend it heartily to any adventurous spirits.

Our recent bike/boat tour on the Harmonia was absolutely amazing. Croatia has been on our bucket list for years and this trip was all we hoped it would be. The Dalmatian islands and all the seaside towns just take your breath away. Our guides Mirta and Max were fun, super-competent and conscientious as they seamlessly herded us all up and down the hills of Dalmatia.
The captain and crew kept us on schedule and the boat was spotless and beautiful. The amazing cooks and the lovely Ivona who ran the dining room whipped up meal after delicious meal with such efficiency and heart. We will always remember our tour as one of the best trips we’ve ever taken.

Great trip!!! We also added the self-guided bike portion starting from Bolzano! Everything went very well....RidewithGPS had no issues, hotels were good. The barge experience was awesome!! Our meals were absolutely over the top - those 2 Italian chefs know what they are doing! Guides were exceptional - they know their history and they know bikes! Would highly recommend this trip!

Excellent trip we enjoyed the rides each day and the towns that we rode through.

Views, great Rute. Excellent hotels, beautiful towns.

The bikes perfect, the gps good, the company where we rent the bikes and move our luggage perfect.

Great experience. Very recommended.

The two guides were wonderful. They played off each other perfectly.

Excellent crew, especially the tour guides. The places they took us would have been difficult to find on our own, making it a unique experience.

Awesome tour of the Dalmatian Coast plus some biking! We loved the gentle rides, the boat was fantastic and the crew was fun and knowledgeable. We live Ana and Tara. The bikes were well maintained.

Fantastic accommodations! Well planned and executed trip. Great bikes, amazing scenery and reasonable distances for biking. Roads had little traffic and we rode on a variety of different paths. Highly recommended!

The trip was great! The itinerary was slightly changed due to weather. However, we were able to cycle everyday except one. The food on the boat was excellent and several traditional dishes were served. The cycling guides were friendly and took time to learn about each of the passenger.

Loved riding through the country side, so pretty & green. One of my favorite things was stopping at the strawberry vending machine. Our guides were wonderful and I was so happy they had extra e-bikes on the boat as we had a couple of folks that struggled in the rain and wind the first couple of days and they, and the rest of us too, enjoyed the remainder of the trip not riding 6mph. We had some rain everyday but looking back I think it was better than having full sun the entire time.

Being on bike paths going through the countryside was a highlight. Tour guides were terrific, and we were very impressed with how the whole barge team worked together on all aspects of the trip.

We had a great crew, they worked tirelessly to ensure everything flowed smoothly. Our guide Miko went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of. His knowledge of the Netherlands and Belgium made the trip even more enjoyable. I would have liked a little warmer and drier weather, but it did warm up in the latter half of the trip.

Awesome trip. Really enjoyed biking along the Portuguese coast.
We had 6 on our trip, 3 e-bikers and 3 human powered bikes. The human powered bikers were able to keep pace with the e-bikes except for the steep hills. It turns out that the cobblestone streets and dirt trails are self limiting on the speed of e-bikes.

We had no previous experience with a bike tour. We really appreciated the guided aspect of this tour and Sergio and Pedro were excellent guides. We chose the e-bikes because of the flexibility it provided to make our riding as easy or as difficult as we wanted. We recognized that some in our group chose regular bikes and adjusted our riding on the steep inclines knowing it would take them longer to get to the rest stop and cheered them on as we waited for them. The scenery is so stunning and made ride that much more enjoyable. All the hotels were excellent and the food was all wonderful. Each city we stopped in was beautiful. The only suggestion we would make is to make less stops along the Camino and get to the hotel around 3pm each day. That way, even if the rooms are not ready people can can go have lunch and then return to check in and relax before dinner and site seeing.

I totally enjoyed our trip. The biking was wonderful and I appreciate Leslie taking time to brief us before each ride, it was so helpful.

We enjoyed learning about the culture and history of the areas we visited. Our guides were knowledgeable and enthusiastic.
