Loved the Balsamic and Parmesan tours! The rides were lovely, peaceful and scenic and the food and wines were fabulous. We loved our ride and accommodations. The Agriturismo La Razza was especially special. Not to be missed was the Ristorante La Grattugia. The fillet of beef with balsamic was to die for.

Cycling around a beautiful country. Seeing historic cities and understanding how the Dutch overcame the sea and car centric horrors.

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.

Very good crew and boat (Ava Maria Italy). Some of the landscapes while biking were a bit monotonous but overall a good cycling tour without too much physical exertion with an e-bike. The food was excellent and the cabins nice and cool (good A/C). The bikes were in great shape so overall a very fun trip.

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

Congratulations for a superb account of your cycling trip! Love your usual tongue-in-the-cheek style. Especially love the photo with Madeleine and you jumping up! Wow!
Don’t stopped writing - and cycling.

This was the second leg of our Loire valley bike ride as we had done Orleans to Tour 2 years ago.
We started in Tour this time and again enjoyed the ease of the electric bikes, which was needed more so on the section especially the last day being the longest. There was an adventure on the last day having to cross the river and put our bikes on a small barge and pull ourselves across... I must admit we definitely needed my friends husband as just 2 females together i don't think we would of managed.
Overall another fabulous trip. I must say the best accommodation was at Chinon. The rooms were huge and Maurice had everything to make you feel at home,we didn't want to leave. Breakfast in the morning was like being king and queen of the castle sitting at a huge fancy dining table so much different to the other generic hotels. We will go back just to stay with him again.

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!

Beautiful scenery, quality bikes and guides, very nice boat and great crew

Only downside was a large amount of the biking was on gravel roads which should have been made very clear. Original information just said some gravel riding. If you weren’t a very experienced gravel rider the rides were difficult. We have done 2 other bike and boat rides through TripSite and neither had any significant gravel riding. Do to the difficulty I skipped 2 of the rides which was really disappointing.

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.
