Wonderful group of participants. Supportive and flexible leaders and crew.
Should have had more explicit descriptions of level of difficulty of the ride.

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!

- How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
- I had expected to find the difficulty level to be "too easy" as I am a regular cyclist at home. With the warm temperatures, the elevation climbs and all of the amazing scenery, the distances each day were perfect. I wasn't exhausted at the end of the day and felt we had plenty of time to see everything we wanted to see.

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.

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.

Our week on the Boreas, exploring the beautiful bays and coves of the southern coast of Turkey, was a highlight of our European trip. Our overall impression was how well organised the trip and cycling itinerary was. Every day on the bikes was different, involving stunning scenery, archaeological sites, a picnic lunch, swimming stops and some exhilarating descents. Our guides were super helpful and very accommodating. On the boat we had a very comfortable cabin, lost of space to relax on the decks and the standard of food and service was excellent. A very memorable, active and fun trip.

The Lycian Coast is absolutely beautiful. The water is the most gorgeous color of blue and so clear!
The bike riding was very hilly, so E-Bikes really made the difference.
The Admiral (ship) needs attention to detail. The crew worked day and night to correct issues: sewage smells, a/c, non functioning lights, plus much, much more. Until the boat is overhauled, I would not recommend it.
We also took the Extension to Istanbul. The Faros Hotel was amazingly helpful; truly service oriented!!

The Lycian Coast is an area of Turkey that abounds with the beautiful blooms of Oleander, roses, and pomegranate. This coastal area has spectacular landscapes everywhere one looks . The
bike trip was excellent in every way .The tour guide was exceptional, as well as the tour guide there were two leaders leading the group and a Van following in the rear . The crew on the boat were enthusiastic , friendly and helped out the passengers in anyway they could . Food was locally based , fresh and delicious ...This bike trip included a variety of activities not just biking ...hikes, exploring ruins , canyon walk ..the terrain made the availability of e bikes a must for our level of experience and age.

Wow! What a trip. The hotel in Bodrum, the El Vino recommended by Tripsite was a gem.
Adem, Metin, Dogukan and Omer catered to our every bicycle need. The attentive staff and accommodations on the Admiral were good. The views, the people and the itinerary made for an exceptional holiday. Highly recommended

BEST bike trip we have ever been on! (we have done 12 with various companies) Excellent organization and communication in the pre-trip. Each day was well-planned and paced for the group with lovely lunch stops. Delicious meals and comfortable accommodations for a boat trip, wonderful history and culture, magnificent bike routes with sweeping coastline vistas. Ali’s guiding experience and passion for his country completed this outstanding tour.

Loved jumping off the bost at the end of the day after riding in the heat. Pack thermal water bottles if going when its hot.

This tour was incredible from start to finish. The staff was a 10/10, the guide was a 10/10, Food was a 10/10, the outside of the boat was a 7/10, the inside of the boat was a 0/10. Awful. The rooms smelled of gas and mold, quite toxic. The wall was peeling off in the bathroom, no hot water most of the time, shower didn't drain. No mattress covers, no nice bedding - old and gross. Our room was near the generator so the smell of exhaust was terrible, unbearable and toxic the first 2 nights. You guys have to change this. It's not right you make people endure such terrible accommodation, it really takes away from the experience. We would love to recommend this, because everything else was so amazing - but in doing so it comes with a huge warning the rooms are gross and to prepare for the worst.
