5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 661 to 690 of 4571

EVERYTHING about this trip was spectacular. We were so impressed with our guide Antonio in his expertise and knowledge of the area of Tuscany. The friends we made are memorable and probably lifelong. The food, the trails, the villages, the group dinners, the pizza lunch— all of it is memorable. We’ll be back for another Tripsite Trip!! Caio!

The riding was fabulous. The routes were challenging, yet doable for me (on e-bike,) and the towns and views were just breathtaking. My husband is a strong rider, but opted for an ebike, and enjoyed challenging himself by keeping it at the lowest level.

We had the absolute best time on This trip. It was the highlight to our three weeks in Greece and we’re already looking to make plans for another trip Trip site took care of everything, including all transfers, making everything incredibly easy and they were available for questions as we moved around during our vacation We highly recommend them

This trip was unlike any other! The guides were extremely knowledgeable, kind, respectful, and patient. Cycling through Tuscany will be forever replaying in my mind!

I have always wanted to take a challenging cycling trip. It has taken me 10 years to find the right people to lead me there safely. Thank you Hennie. I loved how the trip swept us along a variety of landscape and terrain. I appreciate history and liked the stops along the way to see how these beautiful people have fared through the centuries. The food was more than ample and delicious! So much goodness comes from the land and the people’s effort.
The mountains were spectacular and the Ionian Sea at the end was our reward. We went back in time to see an agrarian society working hard, yet having access to good food and good water. I appreciated the drinking water all along the way ❤️
My big tip is to stay two extra nights in Vlorë when you are done to enjoy your newly toned muscles and the Sea. Also it wouldn’t hurt to come a day early just to have a day to discover Tiranë and deal with the challenges of traveling days.

My hubby and I did this tour in mid-August. Despite the heat and the elevation gain more than we expected, this tour was surprisingly amazing!! The route was beautiful AND interesting, and it was always such a treat to stay at the Paradors. Bikes were in good shape but we did have one mechanical issue,.. however the support line was quick to resolution. We definitely will not forget this trip for all the right reasons!

My wife and I had a wonderful time. The routes, the chateaus, the bikes, the app, the luggage transfers, and the lodging were all good. Thank you for an excellent experience!

We enjoyed the whole experience! At the end of day 1 my wife said I could do this again - that didn’t change. Our group leaders (and support team) had to manage the impact of flooding and gave us a memorable experience - they couldn’t have tried harder. E-bikes made it accessible for less experienced or older riders but it still requires many hours in the saddle. Don’t expect to lose much weight as the food was plentiful and excellent. The WhatsApp group created for us made it easy to keep in contact. We are so pleased to have picked this tour!

Excellent e-bikes, informative instructions, fabulous hotels, gorgeous and safe routes for riding.

Hard to pick any single thing - the staff was likely the best part, with great tour leaders, followed by how good the food was!

Meals and staff were amazing! Serving 25 people individually was really done well,

This was a fantastic trip! The Merlijn was absolutely perfect. The crew was outstanding, the chef simply amazing. Our rooms were small but quite nice and always clean. Our bikes were so easy to ride and our guide, well I cannot think of any better guide that we could have had. A simply stunning view of Germany and the most fun way to see it.

A delightful 8 days of biking in Albania on an e-bike! Every day we experienced something different and beautiful scenery. I enjoyed biking through the farmlands and mountains and along the coast. Excellent accommodations and food. The Albanian people were friendly, especially the motorists who patiently shared the roads with us, although we mostly had the roads to ourselves. The guide was excellent and made the trip extra fun. The sag wagon worked out very well too, if someone was having an off day. I've been on eight TripSite vacations and this was one of my favorites.

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.

This is my 2nd trip that I booked through Tripsite and again it DID NOT disappoint. Our adventure through Albania was amazing. I don’t know how or who finds the tour guides there, but they are without a doubt. The trip I went on last year was so fabulous that ALL of the same people (17)wanted to do another trip together. That REALLY says a lot for this company, our tour guide Julian took us through parts of Albania, that were so magnificent that only pictures can describe it. The places we stayed, the sights that we saw, the food that we ate, and how well organized everything was was beyond belief. I can’t wait to hear what trip site is thinking for next year‘s trip. Thank you to Hennie and everyone at Tripsite & Julian & Bato our guides for making this extra special.

PS: If there is a place to put pictures. I will be happy to include some. A+ experience

I was very impressed with the organization of this tour, thanks to Juli and his papa, Bato. Our bikes were always ready and fully charged by Bato and Juli led our group through the beautiful Albanian countryside with efficiency, grace and humor. It wasn't always easy managing 18 of us! The restaurants were always ready for us with food that was delicious and plentiful. Our accommodations were very nice, clean and comfortable. Eight days and 300 miles of cycling was the right amount of time and distance. I would highly recommend this trip with Juli and Bato!

This trip was a most enjoyable travel experience! I was a stranger in a foreign land with a group of bicyclists whom I barely knew! The sites were beautiful, the people warm and friendly. My memories will always be that this was one of my most wonderful life experiences!
This trip was well planned and expertly carried out!

The boat was smaller than the others I have been on for other bike trips but the crew was great!! Very friendly and helpful. Dick our guide was the BEST! THEeals were very good too

In May 2024 my two friends and I did this bike trip.
Tripsite was fabulous organising our hotels and bikes. The best part was by 9 am each morning our luggage was picked up and delivered to our next accommodation in a beautiful town. The e-bikes were perfect to make the days ride very pleasant. The paths are very well sign posted, so extremely easy to follow and the terrain was for the most part flat making the riding easy.
I’d recommend staying an extra night in Amboise and Tours, lots to see.
We used the standard accommodation, all a bit quirky but clean and comfortable enough for 1 night stay.
All the accommodation are geared up for cyclists, all having places to store the bikes and some even for charging e-bikes.
You will not be alone on the path passing other cycling enthusiasts. France is a cycling country so you’ll notice lots of families out as you get closer to towns.
We rewarded ourselves with a chateau stay once we finished at Tours, it was the best experience for all of us..
We enjoyed it so much we are now booking the next stage of the Loire river.. we could not get enough of the scenery and especially the beautiful Chateaux.....stunning.

So many wonderful memories! The boat was very comfortable, the food was delicious, and meeting folks from all over the world was so much fun! The bikes were well maintained and the crew was helpful, courteous and thoughtful. Tour guide Arie always seemed to be on the road where he was needed.

Most memorable: Crossing the Briare Aqueduct was awsome. The barge, Clare de Lune, and the captain, chef, crew, and tour guide made our trip most enjoyable.

Most memorable: The barge, Merlijn, and the captain, chef, crew and tour guide were spectacular. Highly recommended.
Tips: If traveling in September be prepared for cold, rainy weather.

Our guide Ilsa, providing historical information from Ancient Rome to the Middle Ages to Modern Times throughout the ride.
The crew were wonderful. Couldn’t be more pleased with the entire trip.

This was a great guided bike trip through some lovely parts of the Baltic countries and an opportunity to learn about the complicated history of the region. Although there were transfers on a motor coach most days (which allowed us to see so many different areas), there was still plenty of biking and sightseeing each day. The route was almost completely flat, with only a few short hills to navigate. The pre-booked dinners were at the hotels and had fixed menus: the upside was that it was so simple after a day of biking, but the downside there wasn't the opportunity to check out local restaurants. We particularly enjoyed the city tours in Vilnius, Riga, and Tallinn and the biking on the Estonian island of Saaremaa.

Fabulous trip! Tripsite personnel were great and the Ave Maria and staff were outstanding!

It was a great trip. Everything went smoothly. Sophie from TripSite was very responsive. The hotels were all located in central locations, clean and had great breakfast buffets. The Art Hotel Commercianti in Bologna and the Agriturismo La Razza were fabulous. The food in this region is top notch and the people are so friendly.

Don't let hills deter you from doing a bike trip - I used an e-bike and it was so easy to do the hills. Bike is such a great way to travel!

This was my third bike/boat, and, this by far was my favorite. The accommodations were wonderful, the crew professional, friendly, and helpful. The tour was fabulous, meals were delicious, and plentiful with lots of variety. I can go on and on, we’re checking out another tour, if this particular ship went elsewhere, I’d definitely consider another booking on it. Friesland was so interesting.

The six “ crew members” , especially Sylvia who’s English was great and energy outstanding! Next the food! Amazing. Finally the biking and scenery and tours along the way.
I would definitely recommend others to plan an extended stay in Venice before the cruise begins as it is such a wonderful place and more time is needed to see it all.

Most memorable was the bike riding on e-bikes and the fun we had with the other people.
Suggestions: - more shelves in the rooms on the boat, more chicken and French food included in the menus, more bike routes that were not in traffic .
Also, more cold cuts available that were not pork- like the ham... more turkey and possibly humus.
Also, it would have been helpful to have mirrors on the bikes... Also, would have liked to know earlier that the route was being changed because of the water level.
Would have liked more information and history on the areas where the boat was docked. Also, it was nice to have a wine tasting - but one was enough- 2 not necessary.

I was a little nervous about the e-bike tour after reading the pre trip descriptions of the daily rides. So on the first day I was very pleased with the results of that day's ride. It was a challenging uphill c;limb filled with switchbacks, but the e-bikes made it possible to make it to the top of the uphill section with energy to spare for the long downhill run. This positive experience was reinforced with each ride, especially when we did a 60km ride later in the trip. Again my e-bike carried me through a challenging ride through a long uphill section followed by a long downhill run. Our guides Bubbi and Nicky looked after us and made the whole experience very special.

As well as the biking the food was top notch thanks to our terrific chef. The whole experience added up to one of the best vacations I have ever had.
