Tour guides were great. We enjoyed the experience very much. This year, the timing was a little early as the the flowers in the fields were not fully in bloom yet, but it was fun to see the beautiful countryside.
The food on the boat could be improved.

The Merljin is a beautiful and classy barge. The staff are first rate and the food very special. Our guide Tammy was superb and the other members of our group all terrific. This goes down as a "one of best" vacations ever. We learned so much about the Netherlands, the culture, history, and resources. And, of course the flowers along the way were amazing!

Our experience on the Merlijn was outstanding! Captain Coen and chef Cristina own the boat, and their pride of ownership made this our favorite (of three) Tripsite bike and boat vacations. They made us feel like we were guests in their home. (It is their home, actually). The high quality bikes, remodeled cabins, and delicious meals had our group of 24 guests singing their praises. We had wonderful rides through towns, neighborhoods, past windmills and farms. The crescendo was seeing the vast fields of flowers and the famous Keukenhof Gardens. I just can’t say enough about this amazing trip.

Bicycling past the flower-growing fields was a magical experience.

- How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
- It was easier than I was led to expect. I'm not an expert cyclist, nor have I been bicycling a lot in recent years, but I still found the riding easy, probably because of using an e-bike, although I didn't use its power assistance very much at all.

We loved going to the Keukenhof. Joan and Bettina were excellent leaders, kept us well informed of the day's activities. Very helpful when any problems occured. Excellent meals on this trip. Our chef was superb. Our tour of FloraHolland was very good and worthwhile.
- When did you take this tour?

- How did the difficulty level compare to your expectations?
- We were well prepared for the trip and our ability to keep up with others. My only hesitation was compared with other trips we've been on with TripSite, there was too much city riding. But given the location of the tour, I'm not sure that could have been avoided?

Really enjoyed the entire trip! Our guides Hong and Nam were excellent and made the trip unforgettable. The accommodations were superb. Food was presented well with a nice selection of entrees at lunch and dinner. Our only criticism is the food lacked flavor and all the food tasted the same for lunch and dinner. My wife who is a pickier eater struggled with the food and wished there different more recognizable food options. Perhaps more opportunity to go out on our own and order from the menu rather than have all the meals preselected. Breakfast was always our favorite meal of the day. Trip overall was wonderful. Can’t say enough positive things about our guides.

This trip was absolutely amazing. The rides were so much fun, especially with the guides (Corrie and Jeroen) who had so much energy and were just great company. I was also pleasently surprised by how comfortable the rooms were. Since it is a boat I was expecting them to be a lot tighter, but my husband and I were very comfortable. We were also in awe about the food served in the boat, the chef Sidi made delicious dishes all presented incredibly well. It honestly felt like a fine dinning experience.
We've been recomending this trip to everyone we know!

- The trip was easier then expected, and I was able to complete every trip even after having hurt my knee the week before the trip. The wind, however, can make it challenging. So if you are not used to biking, the electric bike is the right call!

· Green Coast of Spain
Truly Magical!
My wife and I over the years have done over a dozen self-paced bike tours with Tripsite and the Green Coast of Spain tour remains one of our favorites. We started with a little food tour of San Sebastian which is of course a stunning place to visit and easily added to the front of the tour. Oviedo is also easily added to the tour and well worth it. I recommend you watch Vicky Cristina Barcelona for the famous flight to Oviedo.
What makes this tour great.
1. Very few cars
First of all, in general, bikes and cars get along in Spain. Many more people bike in Spain and in general you will feel far safer biking there than in the U.S. You meander along the northern coast of Spain and have many spectacular views along the way. The tour of Altamira is also a must and happens early in the tour.
2. Off the Beaten Track
The towns you stay in are off the beaten track and give you a peak into life in Spain. You stay in smaller towns along this gorgeous coast and get to be part of daily life in Spain with few other American tourists. We found Santander quite interesting as well and it's not a city we had been to before. The tour ends in Gijon which was a very interesting city and it was a Friday night and the whole town was out and about.
3. The Food and the Cider
The last couple of days has you biking in the region of Asturias. This is the land of cider and they have Ciderias that specialize in you guessed it, cider. The whole way they drink it must be seen to be believed and it's recommended to give it all a try. Lots of great food to try here with seafood being a staple.
4. Biking on paths of the Camino De Santiago
We didn't expect to do big parts of the northern Camino but the tour has you riding on many of these paths and we were often alone biking on these beautiful paths along the coast. This was incredibly relaxing.
We found the rides very doable and we're in our later 50's. We loved this tour and highly recommend it.

The scenery and Guest houses were great! The only bad day was the first day, climbing a 2400 feet gain. The bikes were not up to the challenge, did not get us up some of the steeper inclines, so we had to push the heavy electric assist bikes up those hills, which was very difficult and very slow, so slow in fact that by the time we got to the listed places to eat, they were closed. We called the bike shop, when we got to the guest house, and had them bring out one new bike and one new better charger. I suggest that trip site find a new bike shop.

· Along the Danube - Four Country Tour
Being able to see the country side at a leisurely pace with our friends. Stopped to visit the goats and trail side coffee shops. One of the most memorable of any of our trips was the boat leaving Budapest at night. A sight we will never forget. Food on board was very good and service was great. The only issue we had was we were a large group of 18 that sat at 3 tables and we were asked to not change places but we missed out visiting with our other friends. We liked it so much we came home and booked another trip with Tripsite

Three of us (two rooms) had a great trip through some incredibly beautiful landscapes. The bikes worked great (no issues with the batteries or anything else) and the ebikes were very handy for the very hilly countryside. The luggage got moved perfectly and the hotels were nice. Overall had a terrific trip!

Albania Highlights was the most amazing cycle tour. Well organized, our guides were friendly and professional. We experienced some of the most spectacular views I've ever witnessed. As you cycle, you'll be treated to panoramic vistas of lush valleys, rugged peaks, and a stunning landscape that stretches as far as the eye can see. We had fantastic fellow cyclist's to enjoy the Albanian hospitality. Highly recommend to future cyclist's.

· Vietnam & Cambodia
The guides, Bay and Hoang were amazing tour guides. What whirlwind trip we were given of Vietnam. We got to see and experience so many things throughout the trip. The biking was fun and amazing wish there was more of it. The hotels were all beautiful and well located. There was so many logistic aspects to the trip and the guides carried them out so well. Listing of the memorable parts;
The first day biking coming upon the water buffalo family playing in the mud a few feet from the road, with the mountains in the background. Ha Long Bay’s beauty, the kayaking. Hoi An’s beautiful property and watching the boats go by in the river. The cooking class was very fun. The education we received of this wonderful country, its people and their cultures.
Recommendations: bring dry wick clothes, wear keen hiking sandals, plan on washing your clothes with Mrs. Van in HoiAn, and smiling lady outside The Grand Saigon Hotel.

· Valencia, Color and Contrasts
We had the misfortune of booking our trip when global warming struck the region in October 2024. The DANA that struck the region during that time had a major impact on our trip, cancelling 3 days of riding. The folks on the ground are not to blame for the weather, but their reaction went far above expectations! Due to flooding and road washouts, they taxied us (at no charge to us) from hotel to hotel to end our trip.
The hotels were top notch, each with a distinct charm. The directions and provided GPS made for almost seamless travel (a couple of wrong turns because I didn't have the GPS tuned in fine enough.
Tripsite was a dream to work with for our booking! I was booking for a group of 8 seniors. One of them did not recover from a previous surgery in time to travel, so had to cancel 10 days before departure. They took care of notifying the providers and processed the refund quickly. I never actually spoke to anyone, but easily made all arrangements online.

· Kvarner Bay
This was our first boat and bike experience and we absolutely loved the whole experience! It’s the best way to see intimate details of a country, especially off the beaten path non touristy locations only accessible by boat in Kvarner Bay. The Linda is a very charming older boat and maybe not as fancy as some other boat options but it was very comfortable and we feel gave a more authentic liveaboard experience. The boat staff and bike guides were incredible!!!!! Because of the higher difficulty level (moderate to difficult) of this particular trip it seems to draw a more vibrant, adventurous and fun spirited cyclists! We had a blast with all passengers aboard! Made new friendships from around the world! As novice cyclers, we thankfully chose to ride E-bikes, as there are many long steep climbs that we pretty much breezed up them. Half our group, which are very experienced mountain bikers, rode traditional bikes and they got a workout for sure but they welcomed the challenge. All the meals aboard were wonderful and served family style. Early fall is the ideal cycling temperature and we found the water still plenty warm for swimming. Can’t wait to do another boat and bike trip!

· Puglia Food & Wine
Travelling in Puglia is quite different from other parts of Italy so well worth the trip. Our tour coming was exceptional. The food, the wine, the accommodation and of course the scenery were all wonderful. This is a great trip but beware it does include some rough roads so good bike skills are essential and an e-bike makes it a lot more fun.

My wife and I particularly enjoyed the natural beauty of northern Vietnam - Ninh Binh, Ha Long Bay and Cat Ba Island. The imperial city of Hue was also very good. We least enjoyed the markets in the south. I appreciate that they reflect the local culture and support the local economies, but I quickly bored of repeatedly seeing sellers hoc the same selection of frogs, fruit and fabric. No special tips for other travellers. The travel notes provided by Tripsite already cover what is required well.

Traveling by e-bike and boat along the Rhine felt like a luxury adventure with a touch of home. The wine regions reminded me of the rolling vineyards of Limburg, but the diversity here—Alsace, Breisgau, and Basel—was extraordinary. The cycling was easy and enjoyable.

My partner and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to explore three countries in one trip! Cycling along the Rhine was magical, with its lush vineyards and the majestic passage of Loreley being standout moments. The food was incredible—whether it was the Swiss chocolate, German sausages, or Alsatian pastries, every bite felt like a discovery. Basel’s Three Countries Corner was fascinating, and the medieval charm of Mainz was equally captivating. The guides made everything seamless. A perfect mix of culture, food, and nature!

· Rhine River Valley E-Bike & Boat
This e-bike and boat tour along the Rhine was a dream come true! The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking, from the picturesque wine villages to the historic castles perched along the riverbanks. Each stop was rich in culture—Strasbourg Cathedral and Colmar’s Gothic art were personal highlights. And the food! Sampling local wines and regional dishes like tarte flambée in Alsace was an unforgettable experience. The stress-free e-biking made it accessible and enjoyable, even for someone like me who’s not an avid cyclist. Highly recommend this tour for its perfect balance of relaxation and adventure!

· Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik
Well, my first experience was in 2016, in Ireland, when I cycled alone in the Clare & The Burren region. It was great... Then in 2017 I cycled in Norway, Drammen, Horten, Sandefjord, Fredrikstad, Son and Oslo, and in December 2017 I cycled over Christmas and New Year in Vietnam and Cambodia. Last year I cycled around Lake Constance, which I LOVED! This year I went walking in CROATIA, in the Dalmatian region, and I LOVED it. I guess I'm a bit biased to say anything.

We thoroughly enjoyed our cycle through Puglia. Lovely quiet costal roads and interior laneways through the olive groves (unfortunately many dead trees due to a blight). The towns we stayed in were all unique and different. The food was generally of high quality and the tasting opportunities well presented. This is a great way to see all that Puglia has to offer

· Bruges to Amsterdam
Finally getting around to a review from this past summer. We had great weather, and the biking was great. We learned a lot with our guide and allowed us a different point of view as travelers. Thank you! As for the ship, it was clean and comfortable, and Emile, the chef, was amazing! He put a lot of effort into accommodating everyone's dietary needs/concerns, not to mention the food was delicious! He handled the rude customers very well, and maintained professionalism even when they were extremely unreasonable. He went above and beyond with customer service and because of him, my time onboard was fantastic. If we go again, we want to ensure he will be the chef during our tour. The other staff members were very friendly and would sit with us all and join in on the fun. It is a trip I would recommend to all my friends.

· Spain’s Longest Greenway: Albarracín to Valencia
Cycling through Spain on the Ojos Negros Via Verde was incredible. This tour starts out in a mountain scape at a medieval village and continues though a variety of landscapes including forests, country sides, and citrus orchards, as you make your way towards the Mediterranean. The whole trip is filled with nature and every city has interesting things to see. Spain is full of ruins of castles, beautiful churches, and incredible meals.
We were very happy with the thoughtful hotels selected, to ensure bike safety and a unique experience. All of the hotels had so much within walking distance, that once you were there, you could easily take a break from the bikes and explore things by foot. Being self-guided allowed us to make stops as we pleased and go at whatever pace felt best for us. We never felt alone though; a we had someone nightly giving us so much information about what to expect for the following day, how to plan, and helping us make reservations for meals. They were a wealth of knowledge and made a point to ensure we were having a positive experience.
Overall, this trip was perfect for people like my husband and I, who don't just want to only see the cities and the tourist attractions. This allowed us to be active as we traveled and we felt it was very accessible terrain, even though we are not professional cyclists. We also opted for e-bikes which are so fun. For anyone stressed around the milage the e-bike is the way to go. They are just awesome. Loved how well-planned things were for us, so we only had little details to worry about.

The trip was made more enjoyable by having a great tour guide, Hein. His local knowledge of history, culture and traffic patterns proved to be invaluable. The boat staff overall were also very accommodating and the food preparation superb. Even when we had a slight water leak in our cabin during overnight heavy rain, the crew expressed concern and responded quickly to the issue. Some suggestions for future tours include: 1) Providing name tags for the guests on the first day 2) Look into ways to improve the air flow within the cabins.
Overall we could recommend this tour and look forward to our next adventure.
