Europe Tour Reviews — 2461 to 2490 of 7006

We did the costal route from Porto to Santiago, unguided with a group of 9. We all had an amazing time and really enjoyed the route. Lots of varied terrain and beautiful views. There are a few challenges along the way going through bigger cities but all a part of the experience. The accommodations were all great as well as the food. Highly recommended!

Biking through the small Austrian cities was wonderful. The Se Manon cruise boat is well appointed and the boat floated down the Danube so quietly. The Staff on the SE Manon was eager, enthusiastic, talented and fun. We ate and we drank plenty. The Chefs and the Bartenders took good care of us.

All bike tour was perfect

We have always done guided bike tours with TripSite so this self-guided tour of Corsica was a first. Although it was a little more complicated to set up Ani at TripSite was very helpful and the folks at EuropeActive were great to work with locally.
The weather was perfect; the scenery exceptional; and the Corsican people very friendly. Our trip was timed to tuck in before the tourist season so crowds had not yet arrived.
Tri p exceeded expectations.

Our boat, crew, tour guides, food, accomodations and overall experience was exceptional. The Magnifique II is a great boat. The small size of the group and the alternative mileages each day with two guides allowed everyone to find a pace and distance that suited them. A gluten free meal plan was available for a small additional cost and for the most part was as good as gluten free food can be. Everything was run on time but without hurry.

My husband and I travelled as a group of 8. The staff was fantastic. The Ave Maria barge was spacious and we loved the food onboard and the upper deck was fantastic to relax after the rides or before breakfast.

One of my most memorable moments on the trip was dropping the anchor in the Adriatic Sea and swimming in the beautiful blue water. Also biking over 100 miles on 6 different gorgeous island was truly a priceless experience. It was truly an amazing experience for me and my 18 year old daughter.

I was worried about motion sickness on the boat and never once did I fell sick.

Riding through the small vineyards and stone cottages with farm animals.

Stopping at chapels and churches.

Riding alongside the scenic rocky coastline.

The trip guides were great and the ship was very comfortable, with friendly and welcoming staff. We also loved the areas we visited. Beautiful countryside that we probably wouldn’t have seen any other way. Amsterdam was interesting, but be careful of all the bikes, which rule the streets. Bruges was smaller and older. We had a fun time.

Frienship of our group, and landscape views of delta po river!
Try to avoid the main road with a lot of cars and trucks

Great ride in Comacchio with very friendly staff in the hotel!
Palestrina is a short unworthy ride, and limitations on the ferry for bikes was a nightmare!
Road conditions were bad, and with some dangerous spots!

Guides Mirta & Kristofer were terrific and flexible. Angelina our cook served up meal after meal of tasty food & plenty of it. The bicycling was very scenic.
I would opt for an above deck cabin though, well worth the extra cost.

The most memorable part of the trip for me as the third day, which was pretty challenging physically (nothing good in life is easy). The scenery was spectacular as we were along the coast for much of the day. We stopped for lunch at the recommended restaurant -- Taperia a Camboa with an ocean view and a menu swimming with wonderful seafood tapa choices. I had squid which was delicious. After lunch the ride continued on the coast to Baiona where GPS led us right to a fortress overlooking the city and the bay. I could hardly believe we were staying at such a scenic place. Be sure and walk the walls while you are there for wonderful views of the city and get down to the marina and board the replica of the famous caravel 'Pinta'.

Tripsite did an excellent job of selecting accommodations for our journey on the Camino. At each location we were greeted with exceptional places to rest our weary bones after a day of riding including a couple of castles! We could not have asked for anything more!

Great way to tour the Danube River valley with a good mix of active bike riding and the opportunity to visit cities such as Brataslavia, Budapest and Vienna by having a boat that can cover long distances while you are sleeping.

We loved the great cycling network in this part of Holland. Our favorite part of the trip was the Nederlands Openlucht museum for the great historical Insights. The Airborne Museum Harkenstein was also a great stop for WWII Operation Market Garden. The hotel was excellent and so was their daily breakfast. Only found one restaurant in Otterlo that was average, and the rest were excellent. The Hap en Trap bicycling route was our favorite. Also, the GPS files were spot on for navigation with my Garmin 130 computer.

We have been on 9 tours now - and this is definitely one of the good trips - why? the CREW!!!! Cpt Willie runs a great barge -that crew from the chef to the guides to the deck hand - all were involved in making our trip a success - and they were so much fun ....... the chef Frank definitely a big winner as well.
he ride was good - getting to see all the war memorials and WW1 battle regions - then on the champagne region .... very beautiful .... we had 2 tastings at 2 cellars - (what would have been nice is having a tasting at a champagne cellar - show casing a variety of labels and how the tastes vary .....this is the first time all were on electric bikes and they were definitely handy on the hills and handled Frances bike tracks and trails well .
The other passengers were alot of fun also and everyone got on well - but it was a good trip - good ride -good boat - good scenery - yep ready to book 2024!

Ok, ir is a wonderful combination of history, culture, with pretty beach, we are in vacation, all the year use the car, in holidays use the Bike. Was perfect. The GPS trackking that you purpose me was perfect, I i used with Maps.me and
Never lost.
One suggestions is mark with favoritos the point of interest in the GPS Route. I am not sure, if it is possible.

The trip was very good abd the staff was excellent!

We had a group of 20 family and friends that booked a trip in May, ages 23-88. We were treated amazing by the staff on the DeWillemstad. Captain Michael was so caring and made sure that our rooms and bikes were in tip top shape. He even assisted us with additional train schedules and bookings. Our waitress Petra was charming and took care of our table and became a friend.
We truly loved the Holland countryside and biking options. We had so much fun dancing and spending time on the upper deck.
I would recommend this boat & tour and I have to give a shout out to Captain Michael and the crew, they truly made this an experience and not just a trip !!!

The bike tours through the quaint countryside. The crew on the boat were helpful and the food was incredible.

The combination of an outstanding yacht and crew with the beautiful and informative bike rides far surpassed our expectations! We had never done a bike tour and will definitely book another trip. The guides, Ivan and Mario were so informative and attentive. They went out of their way to assure we had a wonderful time. I believe Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves natural beauty and enjoys learning history. FANTASTIC!

The trip happened just as we had envisaged it when booking. No hitches or last minute 'Sorry but.....'
All this in spite of the horrific rains and resultant flooding in coastal Emilia-Romagna the previous week (early May 2023). For our 8-day self-guided weather was ideal, not a drop of rain.
Bikes were class and delivered to us at the start in a very friendly helpful manner.
We went for the upgraded hotels and didn't regret it for a moment. They were superb, varied and well located.
Forward routes were pleasant and well-designed. We felt that the loop-rides were on the long side and very castle-oriented.
Tripsite, well done. Take a bow.

We loved all of our trip! The barge was lovely, the food first class and the 2 guides were excellent. We enjoyed meeting new people, the relaxed atmosphere and our daily rides.

The biking was certainly the highlight. Loved it. The boat was great, rooms good sized ,staff lovely. Food was not great but ok for price. The vegan in our party was not planned for but chief did his best. Overall certainly recommend.

Biking through the countryside and villages of Belgium and the Netherlands is just a wonderful way to really "see" these countries and their people. This trip was well organized, provided an excellent dining experience, and camaraderie of fellow passengers. Bikes were comfortable and in great condition, and our guide was informative and fun. Tip for others: clothing layers!! Also, utilize the e-bikes if you are not routinely biking 20-30 miles beforehand.

The old cities and the Adriatic coastline were amazing. The food was fine but not as good as on other bike and barge trips we have done.

The food on board Zwaantje was the best we have had on the three trips we have now completed with tripsite. The use of e-bikes was a good decision it allowed us to experience the sometimes challenging climbs with ease.

The dinners and the beautiful countryside.

The route was wonderful, the barge was great and the guide excellent. The downside was the food. It was not the level of interest and taste I had experienced on another bike/barge trip.
