5 Star Europe Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 4751

biking ,food and the dutch are the best .thanks and the apple pie the best

The professionalism and compradore amount the entire crew was refreshing. Knowledge of individual accountabilities and task focus were outstanding…as a well- oiled machine!

This was my ninth bike / barge trip and I have enjoyed all of them, but this one was my favorite thanks to the dedicated crew which worked hard to ensure the success of the trip. Diana, Mickey, Virginia and Jeoffrey were all top notch.

An incredible cycling journey along the Danube, with breathtaking landscapes and charming towns at every stage. The route was spectacular from start to finish, combining nature, culture, and unforgettable views. Everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

The trip was a wonderful journey through several amazing Dutch towns. The riding was as advertised through beautiful countryside and towns. The barge, while having a few small mechanical issues, was a good home for the week. The crew was friendly and accommodating. Lukas, the chef, provided exception al meals enjoyed by all.

I look forward to my next adventure.

It’s hard to pick one thing that was my favorite part. The crew (Jerome, Juju and Lucas) on our boat were awesome as was our guide, Klaas. Klaas did a great job of showing us beautiful sites, and taking us on very interesting routes. I loved biking through forests, by fields of sheep, horses and cows, traversing dikes with great views, and biking and walking in all the charming little towns. The boat was very comfortable and the food was great. Lucas made us delicious dinners every night. I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised because we only had 6 in our group, and that worked out to be a huge bonus. My e-bike worked great and I loved riding it. Overall, I’d give the trip 3 thumbs up!

We had a great time. The alternate activity days provided a nice break from biking. All the towns we stayed in were interesting and this was a perfect activity for our family. Our youngest was 12, and that was the perfect age - wouldnt want to do much younger than that. Highly recommend!

Our guides, Dharma and Petra were the best. They gave clear orientation talks each day, kept us all safe, introduced us to amazing vistas, towns and villages. Best of all, they were FUN and facilitated a group of strangers to become a bicycling TEAM !
Also, the crew on the boat were wonderful. Roko, Domagoj, Jure, Darko (our waiter and Batman) Sonja and Miroslav( the chefs ) and Edi, the Captain.

We really enjoyed the tour! The countryside, - the river and the entire experience was excellent.
I fell off my bike in one location and then had problems with the brakes on my bike.
The support team was quickly available for us and offered helpful support from a very remote location! This was very much appreciated.
We did a self guided bicycle tour, - using Ride with GPS' and also a paper copy of the directions. Even so, - we experienced some confusion in Bad Schandau.

All in all, - we would highly recommend this tour for all rider abilities.

This was an outstanding trip that we completed in early June. The scenery was beautiful, the staff was outstanding, and the accommodations were great. The food was unbelievable and totally unexpected from the standpoint of local, delicious, preparation and presentation; including outstanding dishes for vegetarian and gluten free/non dairy diets. The docking proximity for easy access to Venice was amazing as were the stops along the way. Give this trip serious consideration.

The crew was fun and professional. The food was amazing. We had a couple of people in our group of 18 that had dietary restrictions, but they went to great lengths to provide options. The bar/wine system is fair and fairly priced. The bikes are top notch, and the itinerary has many little extras, better than most.

Of the many excellent hikes available in Madiera,
This tour manages to curate some of the best. The accommodations happen to be some of the best too from those must do beachfronts to the highly regarded Castanheiro hotel in Funchal. So basically it’s a pretty classy tour package. Now, for the hardline: especially for the risk adverse Americans, who might be reading this. These hikes are only for experienced hikers. Experience means having strong enough joints for very long, extremely steep and very narrow trails over potentially lethal drop offs. We have Vibram soled, lightweight hiking shoes to navigate the stones and steps and narrow causeways where a slip is not an option. We use a carbide tip quality hiking pole. We were absolutely dependent on the Ride with GPS app when the fog closed in on the trails on the high mountain. With that in mind, we found these well marked routes and trails to be some of the most beautiful in the world. Lush with flowers in early June, punctuated by waterfalls adjacent to moss clad rock walls, those drop offs give breathtaking views. The logistics are wonderful to have a ride to the trailhead where parking can become impossible. The guide book was decent yet yet not too detailed and allowed for some fun surprises. But, you must follow the warnings about trail closures to avoid hefty fines and fatalities. We did discover that it was best on the very last day to hike from the overlook point up to the village to the restaurant O Forno, and the coffee shop Legal Gato for what may have been the best cup of coffee we ever had anywhere in the world. The taxi driver was happy to pick us up from there instead of the trailhead. We suggest you utilize these drivers for post hiking activities, such as this when you can.
Funchal is fantastic and worth spending additional time thereafter this tour. From Funchal, we suggest the Pico to Pico Trail for the most hard-core hikers or taking the ferry to Porto Santo for beach R&R, and biking and hiking all over this smaller island. The taxis are fabulous. Bus system easy. Don’t hire a car. It’s ‘impossible’ to drive and park on these islands. Too many bad drivers already.

Excellent guides, lots of information and history. Beautiful biking, e bikes wonderful

The fantastic cycling set up in Holland and a really comfortable cabin

Experiencing the awesome cycling infrastructure in both Belgium and the Netherlands.

Cycling in Albania was probably my most favorite trip with Tripsite (this is our fifth). The country and the people were amazing.
We received more pre information than everyone else who didn’t book with Tripsite. Looking back there was some things people have to take into consideration when traveling there. This country is just beginning to develop its tourism as well as leaving behind its communist roots. Some places we stayed were not as nice as other countries we have visited. That said, if you look at the cost to travel within it is truly a win. The electric bikes had issues from time to time but our guide and driver always did repairs or swap out when necessary.
The food was outstanding throughout and the riding although challenging at times, was worth every view. Get some seat time in and go visit a beautiful country before it gets too crowded.

I just loved the bike trip on the Danube. It's a gorgeous river and huge in places. Loved the wide bike path along both sides of the river. So many cute towns, vineyards, churches, and cafes long the way. Vienna was a fun town to bike in and we loved the rose gardens. The path was flat so we were comfortable with the regular 8 speed bike. The food was good on the tour and liked we could pack a lunch in the morning. Lots of fun people and the staff was terrific! Good value for the cost of the trip!

The trip was excellent. Exactly as advertised. I want to give a special shoutout to the Tripsite customer support team. We had a couple of unexpected family/personal issues that came up just before and during the tour, and that required some accommodations. The Tripsite support team was responsive, supportive, and flexible. That made a big difference for us.

Beautiful boat with competent and friendly Captain and staff. Great e-bikes and guides were fantastic.. Great food and beverages, beautiful ports, and an overall perfect vacation. Thanks to Carla Sprout and her staff we were able to Charter the Bellezza for 27 friends and all called it a trip of a lifetime. Even our two non-bikers had a blast and our group is planning another cruise in 2027.

I loved the guides, crew, boat and guests. Croatia is beautiful and the biking was wonderful!

Beautiful countryside! The ride with GPS guide was excellent,

This was an amazing trip. The guides were very knowledge and enthusiastic. The boat and the crew were excellent and the food was wonderful (too much food!).

Flawless trip package: Absolutely exceptional tour guide information packet. Follow all the details in the guide! Focus on Art, wine, nature, cuisine, camels, eco-farming and markets, stargazing, cycling, hiking, beaches, history, human resilience…Great variety of highly regarded rural hotels with top grade restaurants nearby and resort hotels with wonderful rooms and amenities. Excellent Bikes. Gorgeous cycling routes. We guarantee that you will love Lanzarote after this tour. Add on extra nights in Playa Blanca to take the ferry to Fuerta Ventura, and Los Lobos Islands.
From Arrecife bus to Orzola and ferry to Grasciosa Island. This agency can accommodate any extra days at any of the excellent tour point cities and villages and it is well worth the time to do so.
We found the Canary Island food to be not only gourmet great delicious but fantastic fuel for cycling, swimming, and touring. The local cheeses and fruits, vegetables, avocados, onions, delectable pastries and meats, as well as the wines are highly flavorful from these volcanic soils. We truly love Lanzarote now. This absolutely unforgettable tour is worth repeating. A great value indeed.

Our guys were awesome as well as the crew. They really made the trip enjoyable. Also I really like the E bikes on this trip.

Together, the camaraderie that developed, the amazing vistas we got to see, and the history we learned about the Dalmatian area all made this a memorable trip.

A friend went on a similar tour the week after ours. One of their guides got amazing drone footage that really captured their adventure. If this could be added to this trip it would literally knock this tour out of the park.

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.

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!

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!
