Europe Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 6867

The excellent bike guides did a great job of dealing with some tricky weather and adjusting the itinerary accordingly. In addition, they were able to accommodate part of our group who needed to switch from regular to e-bikes for a couple of days during the trip. The boat was beautiful and very comfortable, and the boat crew did a great job taking care of us. The guitar on board was a great addition since we had some musicians in the group and the cook was also an excellent guitar player! This is our second bike and barge with Tripsite, and we've had excellent experiences both times. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

Our guides were fantastic in providing information regarding area of interest.

Phenomenal trip. The bike rides were great but the guides made it fantastic. I can’t compliment them enough.

Love the Merlijn and her crew! They make every trip special. The ship is great, the meals are absolutely fantastic. The tour was fun, every day was different. The ebikes are ok. The evening walks, plus Miltonburg tour and wine tour were special and enjoyable. Thank you! We already signed up for 3 weeks in 2027

Every aspect of the trip was excellent. The captain, the food prep and service. Every staff member was excellent including the guide.

We loved. It was our first experience riding. The cabin very confortable. The food delicious prepared by a chef. Our guide was really fantastic. We loved everything.

This trip was beyond everything we expected - the people, the crew, the boat, the sites, the guides were all amazing. It is definitely worth having some extra time in both Split and Dubrovnik - beautiful spots. We liked the side trips that the guides planned - the winery, museum and village tour - great surprises.

i loved biking through the country side and small towns. We would stop for ice cream and even visited a winery. It was nice having the guide, didn't have to think about where we had to go each day. Visiting all of the towns along the way tasting their food and beer and shopping in the small shops was fun. The boat had a good vibe and relaxing atmosphere.

The service, food and the beautiful boat. It was a wonderful trip.

The scenery along the rivers was amazing. I enjoyed exploring the smaller towns along the routes. The daily organization for the bike routes was very well done.

The meals on the boat (thank you, Chef and Sous Chef!) and the bike rides (thank you, Kristofer and Petra!). The e-bikes made the hills easy and I felt as if I could go all day. The meals were amazing! I enjoyed every course of every one. I especially appreciated the guides on our rides who rode at the front and back, making sure we took as long as we needed and letting nobody get left behind. They provided tremendous peace of mind, allowing us to enjoy the ride and not worry about problems.

Riding along the Moselle amongst the vines and stopping at gorgeous little towns.

This trip was excellent overall. Tripsite was easy to work with ahead of the tour and then, even though we were self-guide, the tour operator was communicative, hands-on, and all their staff were friendly and helpful.

The app they use for directions is excellent, and even in the intricate streets of rural Portugal, we were able to easily find our way and knew within a couple minutes when we were off track. This also made it easier to find points of interest because they were clearly marked in the app. The points of interest were good and were a mix of "look at this" (roman ruins, churches, etc) and "get a tour here" (cork factory, several wineries, etc). If you are self-guided, the tour operator will help you book reservations for tours once you get there, but we missed a few because they needed to be booked more than a week in advance and we didn't know that. As soon as you get access to the app, take a look at what you want to do and either contact them yourself or ask the tour operator to book them. Some days only have a couple viewpoints/tours, and if they are both closed or not booked it could be disappointing.

The cycling was generally pretty flat. I've seen other reviews that there is a lot of climbing, we didn't find that. There are some long uphills, but the longest of these was clearly mentioned in the app before we started up to that point of interest. The bigger challenge for us was the routes that aren't asphalt - I think every route had us on gravel for several sections and sometimes it was quite sandy or rutted. The most difficult section we biked was marked as an "alternate more adventurous path", so we expected it. If you're worried about the hills, I would suggest an e-bike, although I did it with a normal bike.

The bikes were in excellent condition. We were provided with everything we needed - water bottles, repair kit, handlebar phone holders, chargers for e-bikes, and a bike jersey.

The dinners at the farmhouse were excellent. They were home-made and rich at the same time and are a highlight of the trip. The rooms are well appointed, and although the building is old, it worked very well for us once we realized you have to run the shower for 5 minutes to get hot water.

This boat and bike cruise was a great experience. It was well organized with guides for the biking and town tours. The onbooard temperance was also so pleasant with us meeting aome great people as well as kind, helpful staff, delicious food, and a schedule that allowed for rest in between the biking and town touring. I'll definitely look to do this again.

We had a wonderful time aboard the MS Vivienne for this tour. The cabin was quiet and comfortable, no movement from the water. The food and staff aboard were wonderful. The cycling was beautiful, we got to visit several historic cities and we met some very nice people. We would definitely sign up for another bike and boat tour like this!

The trip was excellent. Starting with our local host Bernardo who explained everything clearly (the best we’ve had on any tour), to the brand new e-bikes and accessories, the fabulous accommodation (which was a highlight of the tour) right through to perfect weather, all went well.

The trip was great. All of the itinerary was wonderful places to visit. The hotels and baggage management on the first three days was four-star.
The boat was very nice and we enjoyed it even more than the larger boat on The Danube trip. The food was amazing and Albert & Danny deserve a shout-out. Our guides Micaela and Ricardo were great guides, though Micaela could’ve slowed the pace some for us “push-bike” riders.
We loved the trip and will definitely be back. Thinking Spain/Portugal will be our next one.

This was such a fun trip! Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and took care of all the details. From fantastic food, boat navigation, and keeping us safe while on the bike tour, they all had a great attention to detail!

Distances on the bikes were reasonable and allowed sufficient time to enjoy our surroundings.

Tudo correu excepcionalmente bem. Recomendamos o passeio. Parabéns pela organização, tanto da Tripsite quanto do time local.

Best parts were the morning rides (from 9 -11) Also the first and last cycling days, because those were near the see.

The bike rides through the country were terrific. That was the reason for selecting this trip.
Although the food was well prepared, the selection of dishes was mediocre.
The staff were great and made the trip enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable.

Wow, Croatia is beautiful and the best way to see it by far is on a bike! Guides Edi & Dom were great at keeping us organized and showing us out of the way places - especially “the wall”. The boat was comfortable and the food good, although a little salty and cool at times (understandable given the tiny galley). This is our 6th bike/boat, and ranks as one of the best.

Fabulous trip on L'Estello. Food was the best so far on a Tripsite adventure. Hein, our guide was politically incorrect and was fabulous. Our group of 8, in our 60s and 70s rode city bikes. The other 10 in our group rode eBikes. We had no problem but unless you are a strong, confident rider, I'd recommend eBikes.

So much to take in- people, culture, landscape, history, food and views.

The crew and guides were awesome! Frank was an incredible Chef, we looked forward to every meal. We had a couple of glitches and the guides handled each situation like a pro!

This tour was fantastic! I’ve never done a tour before, preferring to follow my whims when traveling. I enjoyed it so much I’m planning to do it again in future.

The bikes were great and any issues were promptly resolved. Stunning scenery along both of these iconic rivers, quaint towns and small cities with gorgeous architecture, pleasant outdoor wine stops all make for an ideal adult cycling vacation. Most trails were flat and paved.

The scenery and the historical cities were so wonderful. Especially loved the last day of biking through wine country and small villages. Food was excellent, and accommodation was comfortable. Only complaint would be the lack of clear, English directions during our information sessions each evening. A guide out on the course would be recommended.
