Quite an amazing trip. Such beautiful sites each day. Each of the islands was different treasure of beauty. The employees were sitting helpful and pleasant to be with.

We've wanted to do this tour for several years and really happy we did it! Getting to see Emilia Romagna by bike is perfect. The smaller cities like Modena and Parma are great places to stop along the way. In fact we liked them more than Bologna itself. Hotels along the route were overall good. The bikes and assistance between hotels were likewise excellent. The only issue was that the hotel outside of Reggio is really in the middle of nowhere. Nice hotel. Bad location. So if you don't plan ahead, getting dinner or a taxi is very difficult. Some heads up on that would've been appreciated.

If you like riding in the countryside and seeing some of the less "famous" parts of Italy, this is a great tour. Plus the two visits to see Balsamic vinegar being made and the same with Parmigiana Reggiano were really special too.

Towns and route good, tour company great, breakfast and hotel quality very good

Trip was wonderful. Tour guides and the staff on the Fluvius were excellent. Unfortunate part was the AC on the ship was not functioning.

The tour director and the entire staff onboard the Vivienne were outstanding, so welcoming, warm and helpful, as well as very professional. The boat facilities are great, very clean and well maintained. The Danube River is beautiful, and the bike route is top notch. Very well marked, lovely countryside and small towns. Exceychoise of stopping points.

Without a doubt, biking around the lake’s scenic beauty was an everyday treat. We met many wonderful and kind people at the hotels, along the way, strangers who treated us as family explaining customs, giving directions, and friendly hospitality.
Helpful hints: learn how to use Komoto gps app, bring a bicycle mirror (almost no one had but it really would have helped in traffic).
The staff of Tripsite were incredible. Before and during the ride, they were supportive, found answers to our questions, and were always eager to find help and get back to us. They were a blessing throughout. Thank you!!!!

Bike rides and fabulous views and sites as we toured the islands

This bike and boat tour was excellent. We chose a guide and ebikes for the biking portion which made us really enjoy the day as we did not have to worry about getting lost and/or making it back to the boat on time.
The ship itself was smaller, so you got to know people and felt like a big family.
The service from meals, to housrkeeping to daily tour briefings was top notch.
This was our first bike and boat tour and we would definately do it again.

I loved this trip. It was a perfect balance of biking to see the countryside and time to see the port cities. The ship had under 100 passengers so it felt comfortable and cozy. The staff was excellent.

1st 3 days really great cycling, quiet and beautiful, but it's hilly if not on an ebike particularly day 2.
Better to visit Neuschwanstein first thing day 4 rather than at the end of a long day 3.
Nearly all of the recommended gasthofs were closed during the day, one looked shut for sometime. Take food and drink with you for lunch, dont rely on finding it en route.
App glitchy in towns navigating to the hotel and when off route.
That said, we really enjoyed this trip.

Good cycling, food, staff and experience. What fun to meet and make friends with our neighbors from Canada and Europe.

The route was absolutely beautiful and the pace was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful, accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the meals are very good.

All of the staff were excellent but Sylvia was a highlight! I liked how everyone pitched in during meals.

The people! We had 16 others, all of whom we enjoyed. Appreciated the efforts to help us get to know each other. Also enjoyed the food, the friendliness of staff, the route, the stops... the whole experience!

The two guides emma and august were charming and helpful. All the staff were attentive. The food was delicious. The rooms small and well organized. I enjoyed sailing on the beautiful boat. It was hotter than usual for cycling but the scenery was spectacular.

We recently returned from a memorable bike tour through four countries, and for the most part, it delivered on its promises. The e-bikes were well-maintained, the routes scenic and well-suited to the difficulty level described, and the new navigation app made wayfinding effortless. On board, the service was attentive and the meals were genuinely delicious.
Unfortunately, the experience ended on a sour note. The disembarkation the process was slow and ill-suited to the ship's passenger capacity. More frustrating, our large backpack — correctly tagged for delivery to the parking garage 5 km away — never arrived. We had to return to the ship to locate it ourselves. When we did, staff declined to take responsibility, attributing the error to other passengers. The bag was eventually returned to us still bearing the original garage tag, and with its contents inside, wet.
It's a shame, because the tour itself was excellent. With better handling of the final logistics, this would have been an easy five stars.

Great guide (Paul). Food and cabin only marginal. Dinners were almost always cold.

Our 5 star rating is based on Sophie and her team looking after us from when we organised our trip in Australia. Although I won’t go into detail in this review survey. We will personally write to Sophie with a number of improvements to improve local operations to help improve the experience of future travelers on this tour.

The culmination of this trip was when our guide brought us high up onto the hillside, on our second to last day, and as we descended, we could see every town and island we had just cycled. It was very moving to look down on the geography of the area, the water ways, the islands, the bridges and cliffs.

Loved the Balsamic and Parmesan tours! The rides were lovely, peaceful and scenic and the food and wines were fabulous. We loved our ride and accommodations. The Agriturismo La Razza was especially special. Not to be missed was the Ristorante La Grattugia. The fillet of beef with balsamic was to die for.

Cycling around a beautiful country. Seeing historic cities and understanding how the Dutch overcame the sea and car centric horrors.

biking ,food and the dutch are the best .thanks and the apple pie the best

The professionalism and compradore amount the entire crew was refreshing. Knowledge of individual accountabilities and task focus were outstanding…as a well- oiled machine!

This was my ninth bike / barge trip and I have enjoyed all of them, but this one was my favorite thanks to the dedicated crew which worked hard to ensure the success of the trip. Diana, Mickey, Virginia and Jeoffrey were all top notch.

An incredible cycling journey along the Danube, with breathtaking landscapes and charming towns at every stage. The route was spectacular from start to finish, combining nature, culture, and unforgettable views. Everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

The trip was a wonderful journey through several amazing Dutch towns. The riding was as advertised through beautiful countryside and towns. The barge, while having a few small mechanical issues, was a good home for the week. The crew was friendly and accommodating. Lukas, the chef, provided exception al meals enjoyed by all.

I look forward to my next adventure.

It’s hard to pick one thing that was my favorite part. The crew (Jerome, Juju and Lucas) on our boat were awesome as was our guide, Klaas. Klaas did a great job of showing us beautiful sites, and taking us on very interesting routes. I loved biking through forests, by fields of sheep, horses and cows, traversing dikes with great views, and biking and walking in all the charming little towns. The boat was very comfortable and the food was great. Lucas made us delicious dinners every night. I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised because we only had 6 in our group, and that worked out to be a huge bonus. My e-bike worked great and I loved riding it. Overall, I’d give the trip 3 thumbs up!

We had a great time. The alternate activity days provided a nice break from biking. All the towns we stayed in were interesting and this was a perfect activity for our family. Our youngest was 12, and that was the perfect age - wouldnt want to do much younger than that. Highly recommend!

Our guides, Dharma and Petra were the best. They gave clear orientation talks each day, kept us all safe, introduced us to amazing vistas, towns and villages. Best of all, they were FUN and facilitated a group of strangers to become a bicycling TEAM !
Also, the crew on the boat were wonderful. Roko, Domagoj, Jure, Darko (our waiter and Batman) Sonja and Miroslav( the chefs ) and Edi, the Captain.
