Our family had an unforgettable experience cycling from Wurzburg to Füssen, covering around 450 km along the stunning Romantic Straße. Each day was a new adventure, filled with charming towns, fairytale castles, rolling vineyards, and warm, welcoming locals who made the journey even more special.
One of the highlights was our pre-booked Night Watchman’s Tour in Rothenburg ob der Tauber, a magical and entertaining way to explore the town’s medieval history. We also visited many fascinating museums along the route which became some of our favorite moments, offering rich cultural insights.
We loved stopping at local markets to enjoy delicious wine, sausages, and cheese for lunch. A surprise gem was discovering a serene mineral pool where we could relax and swim, such a treat after a day of riding!
The bikes provided were top-notch, handling every terrain with ease and comfort. Tripsite took care of all the logistics, hotel bookings, luggage transfers so we could focus entirely on enjoying the ride. With perfect weather and great company, the trip was smooth, stress-free, and full of joy!
We wholeheartedly recommend Tripsite for anyone planning a cycling adventure. Their exceptional organization and attention to detail make it easy to book a scenic, stress-free, and unforgettable family journey through Germany.

All parts of the trip exceeded our expectations. The hotels were lovely, the meals absolutely delicious, and the areas we rode through were beautiful. Our guide, Antonio, was calm, cool, and collected the entire time even while riding with the group on busy streets. We had a group of 8 on our tour, and Antonio quickly became one of our friends. He is a very kind person and handled all aspects of the tour extremely smoothly. One small improvement would have been to receive a little more information about some of the small villages and sites we visited along the way. I definitely am recommending Tripsite to friends and family.

My wife and I did this ride for our 50th anniversary. We enjoyed everything about it although, I must admit, it took a day or two to get use to the bicycles which are not ideal. The routes are unbelievable. Never having been in a bicycle centered country it was a revelation. The hotels were good to very good and the GUIBO was easy to use. We had only one day of significant headwinds but others have suggested to do the trip in reverse if winds are a problem for you. In short, a great trip that I would do again. I will certainly look to do another trip with Tripsite.

Wonderful tour. Experienced 3 day self guided portion. Barge crew was great. Georgio was very knowledgeable anout local area. He was an exceptional guide. Felt very comfortable asking questions.

Guides were great. Trip was very educational. Side tours were great even in the rain. Would to have more time to spend in each city. One day is just not enough to enjoy the local flavors.

Our guides were wonderful. I especially appreciated having Pavel (a historian) as one of our trip guides--he made the trip intellectually enriching. We also really enjoyed the company of our fellow travelers. All in all, it was a fun, stimulating, beautiful, and well-supported adventure!

We had a fabulous trip! The route was beautiful and everyday brought new surprises. We especially loved riding inland into the mid evil villages up in the mountains. The scenery was spectacular and lots of sights to explore. We would highly recommend this tour!

Riding on the canal was very pleasant but the diversions from it added something extra. In particular the cycling on quiet country roads and cycleways. We enjoyed the ride to and from Mirepoix in particular.

The 2 guides on our Bike and Barge, Peter and Hans were absolutely fantastic and they were the difference in making this a wonderful memorable journey.

It was a great week. The walks, hotels and staff have all been wonderful. All of the pueblos were hidden gems!

Staff and food and organization and accommodations! and of course itinerary

This is an excellent bike and barge. The Vivienne was a beautiful boat with excellent staff. The schedule is well laid out, allowed time to enjoy the biking and scenery. The navigation app worked really well but take a phone holder for your bike so you can see the map. I have Bluetooth hearing aids so the directions were also provided by audio which was very helpful. That city bus tours were ok, if you are a city traveller you could have navigated both Budapest and Vienna on your own.
The cruise director has lots of information and will answer your questions…. If in doubt ask questions.
The food was amazing … you will not go hungry.

The evening that we moored by a small rock island with a lighthouse and a hole through the rock. Then went for a short swim. Wish it could have been longer.

I loved everything about the trip except the hot tub was not very hot and the steam shower wasn't working. The food was presented so beautifully and staff were professional and lovely. The 2 night of karaoke and 70 and 80's night were good tobinteractvwith other guests.

Excellent tour with perfect hotels and meals to complement the Provence countryside. Our Tour Guide, Antonio Cimmino was a great addition with his helpful and fun nature. He was knowledgeable, attentive to our issues and meshed very well with the goal of our group to have a fun week. The biking was a challenge, but was managed with a pace that was perfect for a group with various levels of biking experience. All in our group mentioned having a great experience.

We were transferred to the Nevra Queen as the Milo-M had a myriad of issues. The Nevra was an excellent upgrade, comfortable and clean. The guides were superb, especially Edan. Edan was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, caring and fun to be with. This was my 6th Tripsite excursion, a good time was had by all. I would like to recommend that the Nevra, and and all your boats offer a hotel grade automatic espresso machine as requesting individual cups and a barista are time consuming and very inconvenient. Moreover the coffee is usually blah. Perhaps more important, the Nevra should absolutely add complete hand rails and non slip skid pads for all the steps.--- I slipped l on wet steps and broke 3 ribs. I wasn't careless. The steps were slippery from our swimming and sunscreen. Never the less I highly recommend this trip--on the Nevra.

This whole trip was unforgettable—grin-on-your-face-for-days kind of unforgettable. Cycling past vineyards and riverside villages, pedaling at an easy pace, drifting through villages with their pale stone churches, building lasting memories. And then rolling back onto the boat at day’s end to be welcomed with coffee, sweets, and later a feast shared with fellow riders. I am still grinning!

Communication could have been a bit better ... this was my first endeavor and found some things a bit confusing

There are so many choices out there when planning a bike and barge. I looked at numerous options and narrowed it down to two companies. I emailed the two companies and Tripsite responded immediately with a list of questions and suggestions. With a Trip Site Tour Specialist’s help (shout out to Claudia), we selected the bike/boat trip we just completed. Our Trip Site Tour Specialist answered our many questions as our group from Canada grew to being 17 individuals. Most of the Tour Specialist’s help was needed during the booking and payment process but even just prior to the trip, we had a couple of questions and Tripsite was just as committed to customer service at that point. Our experience from the planning to the actual trip was phenomenal. We were treated like royalty during the entire cruise. The rooms, food, entertainment, bike support….all exceeded our expectations. We will be repeat customers…many thanks to Tripsite.

We loved every part of this tour! The scenery along the Danube was incredible to bike through. Our rides through beautiful towns, villages and countryside were so picturesque and generally easy to follow.

The accommodations were luxurious - spotlessly clean and included everything we needed and the meals were delicious culinary delights.

But above all, the crew on board were fantastic from housekeeping to the ship musician. The crew was tireless in making sure we were comfortable and were so friendly and fun!

The only negative was that the wifi was non-existent to poor which had an impact on planning the next leg of our trip.

I would highly recommend and am looking forward to our next one!

This was our 2nd self-guided bike tour in Europe. It was a little different than our first where everyone leaving from our hotel was on the same schedule. With this company, you are basically customizing your tour by chosing to stay extra nights in some cities. The route chosen by the local company was qood. We had a variety of small villages and towns, crop fields and forrests. Lodging in the Category B hotels was good to excellent. The cycle paths were very good most of the time with little mixing with cars. We did this in Sept and it seemed alot of restaurants/cafes along the route were closed, so you might bring a lunch with you. The bikes were good, but do not have mirrors, which I had inquired ahead about. We did bring our own.

Liked the disco night. The fourth ride was beautiful.
Meals were also good and super service.
My e-bike was too heavy for me- suggest a more compact and less heavy bike for smaller women. Also, we had wanted to book a guide for the 9 of us and there were only 2 on this boat. We would have enjoyed having one to eliminate getting lost and also helping us find fun locations to stop enroute. We did this on our Italian trip and it made a large difference to our enjoyment.
Your staff are very helpful and pleasant. Well done overall.

The scenery on this tour was amazing. The Danube River valley is quite picturesque! The bike trails were awesome.

The staff aboard the boat, including Julia as tour director were excellent and attentive to every need and did everything they could to make the trip excellent. Biking through centuries-old towns and the vineyards made for great memories.

This was our 4th Bike & Barge trip with Tripsite; all memorable & enjoyable. The 2 guides we had on this trip, Weiger and Hetty were phenomenal. They were very helpful and knowledgeable about so many of the sights along the Moselle River. We had 20 guests on this trip. Most of the 6 biking days, our guides had us split up in 2 groups which worked out perfectly. The weather was great 95% of the time; great Barge Captain and crew. Beautiful scenery and nice barge.

The scenery was beautiful, vineyards, quaint little villages and each day was different. Loved staying on the boat, it was intimate and the tour group quickly became friends. We had a fantastic crew, excellent food, couldn’t have imagined anything better!

Great crew. Great food. Excellent plan b options when the wind picked up and they had to diverge from schedule. Biking was challenging at times even with e-bikes. But the views were spectacular.

Chef Sara was fantastic!! The food was wonderful every single night. Our guide Giorgio was informative and fun, which made our rides very enjoyable.

The country side that we cycled through.
Excellent bikes and great navigation system.
