· Ionian Islands

We loved this bike and boat tour in the Ionian islands! It was so fun being on the boat and meeting people from other countries and traveling to all the beautiful islands. The biking was challenging because of the hills, but an E bike made it enjoyable. The tour guides were wonderful and the boat crew were also - we had excellent meals every day on the boat. We also loved the swim stops-the entire week felt magical.

How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
The rides were a little hillier than we were expecting, but having an E bike made them enjoyable. My husband is an avid cyclist, and he did not have an E bike and enjoyed the challenge.

· Multi-Adventure Tour in the Ionian Islands

The overall experience was fantastic, the leaders were a load of fun and very organised . The ship crew , captain, deck hands and cooks were very obliging. Our itinerary was changed slightly due to circumstances outside anyone’s control, the changed stops were equally as good as the planned ports.
The food was exceptionally good and plentiful.
The crew went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable and loads of fun!

· Peloponnese & Saronic Islands E-Bike & Boat

We loved the experience of both being on this magnificent boat and riding along the coastlines on these fabulous islands. This is the way to really see Greece. The food was outstanding and Mary Lou and Esther (the tour guides) were priceless in keeping us informed of excursions and a ton of fun as well. A bucket list trip for sure.

This was a total different trip. The only thing I would change was that there was an odor in our cabin from the bathroom (Not sure this can be avoided).

We had a wonderful week on the Panagiota it was a great experience on a more traditional boat. The guides and crew went above and beyond making sure everything ran smoothly. The bikes were great we opted for electric as there's many hills/mountains. We were blessed with beautiful weather and the island stops and swimming off the boat were magic and we wouldn't hesitate in doing a similar trip.

· Sailing the Greek Isles between Athens and Corfu

Sailing and cycling the Greek islands was really incredible - I didn’t want to leave! I was really impressed with Running On Waves. The crew was amazing and I loved that the meals were served buffet style. The food was great and always a variety of selection. Definitely take some extra time in Athens if you can, it is a great city to explore.

Great boat, itinerary and crew.

Would prefer biking mornings and motoring afternoons. Most of trip motored til noon. Ate at 1:30. Began biking after big lunch about 3.
That is my only complaint. The las 2 days were morning bikes, much preferred

· Cyclades Islands E-Bike & Boat

My husband and I had a marvellous time on this tour. It didn't turn out to be a boat bike trip; instead it was a hotel bike trip as the Thalassa wasn't available, but it didn't have a negative effect on our trip. The itinerary changed substantially as we used ferries instead of the Thalassa, and stayed on some different islands, but the quality of the tour was high and we had a really memorable and enjoyable time. The guides were excellent and really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble and we were wined and dined royally. The bikes were high quality and performed flawlessly, and the scenery was gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, but will say you should not join unless you have a reasonable level of fitness. The hills on the islands we visited (particularly Andros) are challenging even on an e-bike but well worth the effort.

· Ionian Islands

This trip met all of my personal goals and expectations. The biking was challenging and the tour guides were excellent. The meals were great and well prepared. The ship crew members anticipated our needs. There is no better way to truly experience the beautiful Ionian Islands than by bike and boat. Otherwise you would only see the port villages unless you hired a car or van to take you to the scenic views. My only suggestion would be to include more historical stops.

We had the most phenomenal week on the Erato! Biking through gorgeous villages and pine forests and olive groves, and being repeatedly blown away by views of the sea as you rounded another bend! It was extraordinary! On board the ship we had amazing and delicious healthy meals. Our guide Dionysius was outstanding. It was an unforgettable week!

· Central Greek Aegean Sea

You probably don’t want to post this review. The bicycle routes and the guides were excellent. The guides gave excellent reviews and orientations. Unfortunately, the most memorable part will be the problem on first afternoon aboard the Boreas boat where the electrical plug-in, next to where were sitting, (from the shore power) sparked and started to smoke and smell like an electrical fire. We alerted the crew and they unplugged. The other Greek port authorities would not let us plug-in with the corrupt system, so we did not have air conditioning unless the excruciatingly loud generator was on. The loud shrill noise tortured several cabins so it was shut off to sleep. We did not have AC at night and people were hot and slept on the benches on the deck and above deck. The shower in our below deck cabin leaked so much that we were forced to take super short showers just so we wouldn’t flood our bathroom with gray gritty water leaching through the walls. Another boat in their fleet had an accident and our lead guide had to work with that problem, but he did an excellent job of taking care of us. My three star rating breakdown as such: The bike ride was a five star and the boat was a one star.

· Peloponnese & Saronic Islands E-Bike & Boat

Thalassa is a beautiful comfortable ship,. Even made better by the friendly and helpful crew. Our guides, Mary Lou (aka Lulu) and Demetris were not only competent and friendly, they were fun to ride with! Two weeks later and we are all in touch by way of Whatsapp! They were very a accommodating found time for swim stops once or twice a day and were vigilant. We even sailed for a magical hour. E bikes were perfection as were the meals. Everyone, especially me, gained weight. Of my many trips with Tripsite, this was the best.
As an aside, Santorini is , in my opinion, overated...too crowded, busy and trash every where Try Crete instead. Also switching Whatsapp to Signal for security.

North Macedonia & Greece - Ohrid to Kastraki

Overall, this was a very enjoyable trip. The scenery was fabulous, and the food and culture was wonderful. The representative that we met in Ohrid was very helpful, and the bike shop owner was great. The hotels were all very nice, and most provided adequate air conditioning in what turned out to be hottest summer on record. My biggest grievance with this trip was the navigation app that was provided, as it was not compatible with common GPS apps that most cyclists use and did no provide turn-by-turn directions.

· Cyclades Islands E-Bike & Boat

The crew of the Erato is very professional and friendly. The boat is well-maintained and spacious enough for 12 passengers. The food prepared onboard was outstanding, rivaling many of the restaurants we ate at in Greece. Our tour guide, Dionysus, led our biking group safely around the islands and entertained us with tales of Greek myths, gods/goddesses, and heroes. There is plenty of downtime to go swimming (off boat and beaches), read a book, sunbathe on deck, or take a nap. Overall, we enjoyed this tour (our 4th with Tripsite) and would recommend, especially to first-timers in Greece.

Cycling through the “undulations” of the Cyclades was magic, particularly the downhills. Fortunately we had e-bikes to reduce the climbs. Our guide, Dionysis, was excellent. His depth of knowledge of Ancient Greek history was immense and his stories were always infused with his wonderful humour. Beautiful ports, great restaurants and food on board, what more do you need?

We loved everything about this trip. The Thalassa was amazing. The guides and crew were great. The bike rides were beautiful. My tip for others would be to opt for the e-bikes! This was my first time riding one and it was so much fun. Even the climbs were enjoyable. And we were not afraid to stop and take photos at any time. We fell in love with Greece amd it’s friendly people.

The island of Ithaca was the most beautiful and inspiring. I deeply appreciated the guides--their patience, their support, their advice for a better ride. I am also grateful for the flexibility of the tour in regards to adjusting the itinerary for adverse weather conditions; the captain always kept our safety in mind but the staff made sure we didn't miss out on any opportunities for the trip.

My only recommendation would be for the Tripsite staff around answering traveler questions. I read the material sent by the coordinator but, when it provoked questions and I reached out for clarification, all I received back was copies of the printed material again. I would have preferred more direct communication regarding the questions incited by the material.
