Europe Tour Reviews — 151 to 180 of 6879

I loved this tour. The biking was easy, beautiful, and enough exercise that I felt I could eat lots of the delicious food onboard. The workers on board were helpful and friendly and they seemed to honestly enjoy their job and the visitors onboard.

We had such an amazing time, it's hard to pin down one thing that made the trip. Our guides, Srdan, Ana and Marco were fantastic. Such great attitudes, able to combine fun with professionalism. The crew on the San Snova were top notch. Always on top of everything to make sure it went smoothly. And then there is the scenery! Unbelievable.
Things to remember to bring- shampoo, lotion, etc. If you have an e-bike, they don't have water bottle cages or mounts so bring a handlebar cage if you like having access to water during the ride. At the end of September, the weather changes quickly. The beginning of the trip was in the 80s and a week later the temps were in the low 60s. And now that I've told you to pack lots of clothes, the rooms are small and don't have a ton of space. We had duffle bags that were able to fit under the beds.

The guides a staff aboard Bellezza were amazing and accommodating. We so enjoyed our trip, especially biking the islands. What a great way to see everything in slow motion.

The first day and last day of biking were beautiful. The route the other days weren’t as nice.
The boat staff were wonderful and the food was delicious.
Only downside was having to be on the boat for a certain time as the boat moved all night long. I prefer the tours when the boat moves as we bike and stays in port all night. Nice for after dinner walk in towns.

Most memorable was the 2 night stay in Carcasseronne, France. We opted for a Rest Day and did not do the scheduled In & Out Ride.
Upgrading to Deluxe accommodations was a really great value.
The 'Rails to Trails' In & Out route to Mirepoix, France was a great alternate from the towpath. Consider providing tours linking these well maintained trails. This one went way beyond Mirepoix. Other riders said there were many in Spain.
The condition of the tow path varied with the cities (Carcasserronne, Baziers and Narbonne having the worst maintenance (except in town)) and the long remote area between Baziers and Agde. Toulouse and surrounds were well maintained.
30 gear bicycle upgrades were a must for my group of 70 something year old men. My eBike was sturdier than other rentals I have had and it's Bosch drivetrain performed as well as my own.
There was miscommunication somewhere for our stay in Mirepoix. The manager showed us the reservation requesting two double rooms, but there was no mention of 2 beds in the two rooms. The hotel was full and only one of the rooms had two beds. He was able to book the two men in a nearby hotel.
Throughout the entire reservation process I found TripSIte to be professional and easy to work with with excellent communication and advice. One thing, the vests were fit larger than indicated size...
Thank you so much,

The Tripsite staff were wonderful - Adem, Matin & Ibo were attentive, informative and made each day a real adventure. The Nevra Queen exceeded our expectations and was an amazing boat to be on for this trip! The bikes were very comfortable, the food was delicious and we learned so much about all of the sights we visited. I wasn't sure what to expect on this trip, but it was fabulous and we had a wonderful time!

Meeting people from around the world on the boat. Also the staff on the boat was fantastic very accommodating and helpful.

Beautiful scenery , routes and excellent coffee stops. Peter and Hans were excellent tour guides, chef Liam was outstanding and the support staff were great. Only suggestions would be to improve the quality of the bikes and a few more snacks after the rides . Pack gloves for your rides especially on fall trips
All in all our favorite bike trip

Beautiful boat lobby and cabins. Rooftop deserves more time spent there. Front bar has lovely views. River tour of Budapest nightlights is fabulous. Bikes are excellent . 3/6 days we had to dock late because another boat was in our spot? Therefore we rarely had time to sightsee or make cafe’ stops during our bike days. I don’t understand this. Late September is perhaps not the best time for this tour?

We loved our time on the Magnifiique Ii. Guides Han’s and Peter were excellent. Beautiful countryside but very busy cities. Great trip!

Biking and meeting nice people.great food and staff. Very clean as well.

Coming down the Seine and seeing the Eiffel Tower from the boat was great.

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!
