4 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 31 to 60 of 1358

Great trip. A little windy at times. The food was very good and the staff were great and accommodating. No hills to worry about. We had a regular bike. Going through all the small villages is always enjoyable on these trips. Amend meeting new people is a highlight

Francois and Martin were absolutely fabulous. They provide a wonderful holiday. They showed extreme patience and deserve full points. We were a little disappointed with the ships meals. The last meal of the trip was very good. We were expecting that quality for the trip. When you are in France you expect French food.

This was the first time my husband and I did a trip like this and we are not experienced riders. We traveled with a group of 16 from Pittsburgh PA USA and had a blast! This is a beautiful, easy ride along the Danube. And even though the river level prohibited us from biking to Bratislava and Budapest we were given the option to go to each city by bus. We enjoyed exploring the towns along the bike paths and all of the time we had in Vienna. The crew on the Vivienne were outstanding! Providing what we needed without having to ask as they got to know us. We appreciated all of the tips that were provided each day for our tours and excursions. Thank you for giving us such a memorable trip!

Overall we enjoyed the trip the boat was comfortable, staff very friendly and attentive and the cycling along the Danube was very enjoyable. However as an English speaking couple we were disappointed that two of the advertised optional tours that we had booked did not have English speaking guides available so we were encouraged by the tour coordinator to cancel our booking for those tours. The tour coordinator did not offer and made no effort to make other arrangements for us. It was disappointing as these tours were advertised as part of the tour and optional extras. This meant that non German speaking guests were at a disadvantage.

The biking was very good. The hotels were great except for one that was two and a half miles away from town. One day we were biking along a busy highway which we didn't care for. The luggage service was perfect. I would recommend Tripsite to most cyclists.

This trip was very easy: the rides were short and flat. However, the landscape is not particularly interesting and the route is in full sun. The barge was very comfortable, the bikes were excellent and in perfect condition, the crew was friendly and helpful, and the food was outstanding.

We really enjoyed our boat and bike tour. We were however disappointed that we didn’t get to Bratislava and Budapest but was not the fault of Tripsite or the Primadonna. Water levels were just too low. My only complaint about the tour is that water was not included with dinner.

We loved seeing the sites and the Danube on the SE Manon. The biking was easy ,even with a non E bike and some congested areas near Vienna. Our highlights were Vienna, the Greinburg Castle, Melk Abbey. The route book provided our trip itinerary daily, and it was very helpful. Our cabin on the boat was comfortable and we enjoyed the full length sliding door which gave us fresh air, sunshine and beautiful views of the river, small towns, and many castles and abbeys. The history of the area was fascinating. Please be aware that you must have enough euro cash to take the ferries with your bicycles. Somehow I missed this information and the SE Manon was unable to help. We missed our first day of cycling primarily due to this. Also, we were two of four passengers who spoke English as our primary language. All tours were spoken in German, but we enjoyed our offshore adventures anyway.

The scenery was outstanding, the e-bikes enabled me to conquer the terrain which otherwise could not be done with a regular bicycle, and the food was most enjoyable.

The cruise director had very poor communication with the English speaking guests on the tour. People were lost and the navigation was sometimes tough to follow.

The great people we met, amazing country scenery/sights, fabulous meals, fantastic tour guides & staff on barge!!!

Overall excellent. See comments below for more suggestions. Guides were excellent. Crew also excellent!

Cycling through windmills and into small villages was amazing. Guides were awesome. Stopping in local little cafes run by locals was a treat.

No biking experience unfortunately but we enjoyed the cruise and excursions

I loved the active travel! Cycling 30+ miles everyday, followed by touring in afternoons and evenings. This was an unguided tour, and I appreciated the balance between independent time and time spent in community. We met fun people and enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere of life on the boat. The Bike with GPS app worked great! We felt secure in our independent travel navigator.

The lake is beautiful. The small town and medium sized towns had plenty of choices for food and great locations to eat near the water. My one complaint is that the itinerary doesn’t describe the actual route well or the miles traveled per day. Each day of the 7 day tour was 30+ miles. This didn’t leave much time for exploring the area. We were a group looking for an easy ride and while the trail is mostly flat, the distance for a beginner rider is a lot. We also had to find our own gps bike routes and this led to some confusion. This was the responsibility of the in country bike company. The bikes were all very good.

Although the trip was rerouted to The Netherlands I thoroughly enjoyed the biking and exploring the various cities that we rode through. All of the staff were wonderful.
It would have been nice to at least cruise an hour or two on the barge. If you biked every day this did not happen. Other than that it was a wonderful experience.

There were great moments of the bike rides, the other guests on the ship were very nice and it was a pleasant experience. The staff did an excellent job in taking care of the needs of the passengers, from my experience with them. I will say the daily maps of the bike ride were confusing and the app didn't always seem to work well. It was disappointing to have to take a bus to Budapest but I understand the river levels wouldn't allow the ship to travel that far without running into the possibilities of getting stuck. I thought our Cruise Director Jurgen could have spent more time reviewing the bike paths, especially on the last day around Passau. The loop was confusing. Overall, I had a great time!!!

Reichenau and the subsequent ferry trip across the lake, as well as the ride/train ride towards the Alps both stand out.

The island hopping in Croatia was fabulous. Also the co travelers were as good as we could have hoped for a group of family and friends traveling together, all of whom knew each other except for us. The captain of the ship was terrific, and the swimming at anchor was splendid. The scorching temperatures did impact the biking, but otherwise all was fun.

Scenery is outstanding and tour guides and coordinator were great. We enjoyed our time with our group cycling through this beautiful country and enjoying gourmet dinners each night. Some hotels were lacking amenities but that was a small price to pay for biking through quaint, beautiful small villages along the fjords.

Celebrating a milestone birthday with 40+ old and new friends on the trip!
Only downside for me was the cycling groups were too large and having inexperienced riders in these large groups made for some issues at times.

Guides were great. rides were great. Food on boat was wonderful. Crew was wonderful and helpful as well. I appreciated the guides keeping the speed at a pace that regular bikes could keep up with e-bikes, even though e-bikes wanted to go faster. guide Elize was wonderful. She had a lot of knowledge about sites we visited. Simone on the other hand told us she had a scant knowledge ( which she did). I believe when guides lead a trip or walking tour they should be well versed on the area they are showing.

Such a beautiful route! We enjoyed the days along the big rivers, but the days passed the alpine lakes and through the mountains and the family farms were amazing. Wachau valley was phenomenal and cycling between the mountains was amazing.

We loved so many things about this tour. The Comwell hotels in Roskilde and Helsingor (nearby) were fantastic places to stay with so many thoughtful spaces and absolutely stunning breakfasts. Using the app for navigation was easy and with very few exceptions the route was clear and easy to follow. We truly loved the Sweden day. Taking the ferry was a thrill and the ride was scenic and varied. We stopped to swim in Hoganas at the dock right before town and it was so much fun. Great trip overall. We look forward to doing more bike trips in the future and Denmark was a good staring place for us.

The Brugge to Amsterdam Bike Tour was very good overall. The route was excellent and the information about the sights, restaurants, bike shops etc. along the way was truly appreciated. Most of us used the travel app on their phones, while I used GPX files on my GPS. Both worked well for navigation. With only one exception (Dordrecht), the selection of hotels was very good. They were located well and allowed us to enjoy the local area after our ride (The hotel in Dordrecht was some distance from the old centre and restaurants). Our luggage was transported without issue from place to place. It didn't arrive until late afternoon one day (within the timeframe we were advised); moving it was trouble-free. All bikes were well-maintained. Although the bikes were adequately adjustable, the one-size-fits-all system meant that it wasn't ideal for three of us who are tall. The bike were heavy. Also, two of the helmets we rented didn't fit and we had no option to switch them.

Boat was well organized, food was delicious Staffs were cheerful,knowledgeable and helpful in all aspects. At the end of the tour staffs and guests were like family, happy bunch.

This trip was very enjoyable. Our boat crew and guides did a great job taking great care of us. The reasons I only gave 4 stars are more to do with my expectations. I expected there to be a lot more sailing. Even though the trip info says the winds and captain determine our course, it was a bit disappointing to motor most of the time. During the one sailing day, the crew and captain were always available for questions and interactions. The cabins were quite "hygge" (cozy) as the Danes say. They were tiny! Again, this trip was on a sailing ship, not a luxury yacht.A lot of dishes on our dinner buffet were "recycled" from previous meals. In spit of these minor complaints, the guides and fellow passengers made this trip be really enjoyable. The cycling was very easy and on very good roads. Our guides made sure to make frequent stops and offered explanations and local information. We were also free to explore on our own. They provided us with optional city walks after dinner most evenings. I'd definitely do this again!

Amazing views, great locations for lunch breaks (especially near lakes), beautiful towns

Great biking tour with good guide (Daniel) and very well organized.
