Founder’s Tulip Tour Tour Reviews — 1 to 8 of 8

Overall, the trip was great and the beauty of the rides were often times breathtaking with all the different colors of the Spring flowers and the North Sea! We also were thrilled that Hennie joined us as we really enjoyed meeting her on our Croatia trip.
The only issue we had was the use of an electric bike by the tour guide and his lack of personality. Several of us were on regular bikes and it was challenging to keep up with him/group. He did get better with his speed as the trip went on, but at the start, he was completely out-of-touch with us regular bike riders. I also think it was a bit unprofessional for him to not have a sweep. I think this is necessary when you have such a large group and we had several inexperienced riders who kept falling off their e-bikes and getting started was often difficult for many. The trip could be rated easy, if one had an e-bike or an all regular bike group as well as being accustomed to riding a bike, but perhaps a better rating for that particular ride would be moderate with an explanation of why.
Having said all of this, we do look forward to our next bicycling adventure with Tripsite!

I enjoyed the experience of being on the boat and days of cycling. It was a nice size group of 22 so that you could get to know others. The crew were fantastic. We nailed the time of season for the tulips. The parade and gardens were stunning

Visiting The Netherlands with my sister, as well as with the Tripsite founder, Hennie, made the trip extra-special. Hennie and her team shared many details of the areas we traveled through, which was greatly appreciated. The weather was perfect for cycling and sailing, both of which were enjoyed very much. The flowers are not to be missed: the flower parade - Keukenhof Gardens - acres of color throughout the countryside. The villages we passed through were lovely, as were the people we met. It was all wonderful! Thank you!

I’m a senior solo traveler and I found the group so warm and welcoming, even giving me a wonderful party with all the frills on my ‘special birthday’. The added bonus was having Hennie with us, telling us all kinds of wonderful stories about life and traditions in the Netherlands.
Our biking leader seemed always in a rush to get to the next stop. It would have been nice to enjoy the beauty of life in the many small towns we passed through or to learn a little about them. On the other bike trips I’ve taken the leader was also a guide ready to share lots of local information.

Keukenhof is always a favorite. This is my second visit there, but loved it just as much the second time.

Another highlight was getting to know the friendly staff on the boat. They were so nice to us.

My most memorable part of the trip was the honor of going with Hennie. We had a fabulous time together and I especially enjoyed visiting her family and learn about where she grew up in Barneveld. Thank you for inviting me on this amazing trip.

I loved the diversity of the bike rides: We rode through beautiful countryside passing sheep and cows, on top of dikes by the water, and through charming towns and cities. The beds on the boats were very comfy and the food was terrific. I returned home feeling refreshed.

Wonderful trip despite a couple alterations to the itinerary. This was our second trip booked with Tripsite and we would highly recommend to anyone.
