Bike Tour Reviews — 91 to 120 of 6482

Sergio and Miguel, our knowledgeable and experienced tour guides, worked to make this journey the most memorable experience in our lives. This was our first guided tour and it certainly will not be our last one that we schedule with Tripsite. No words could adequately explain the beauty, landscape, architecture, food, history, and the people we met in Portugal and Spain. The cycling every day presented challenges with the headwind one day and the rain on another day, which made the adventure more challenging and rewarding, too. Every detail is taken care of from the bike fitting to the snacks at each stop to the magnificent hotels and restaurant options. We were taken care of with all of the support needed for an awesome trip. Don’t hesitate to reserve your chance for a one of kind experience. Thank you, Sergio, Miguel, and Philipe (transportation).

Seeing so much of the country in 8 days, enjoying all the delicious food we were served and making great friends on the bike ride.

We had an excellent tour across the top of “Green Spain”, more or less following the Camino. We were somewhat worried about daily elevation gains but it turned out to be undulating hills rather than really long slogs. Glad for my e-bike though. Route was well devised and the couple of times we tried to deviate, we found out just why it was routed that way. There were a couple of ferry adventures which were fun, and we were glad the rep had explained them in advance.
Hotels were good and breakfasts were excellent. Even in late September, we were able to find decent restaurant options most evenings. Really enjoyed it.

Riding along the Mosel and the bike tour guides, Hetty and Corrie

I loved being able to experience things I would have never found on my own. Meeting Franco the gondola builder, the cheese factory and the beauty of the river area were fantastic. The crew and food were outstanding. They were all very helpful and friendly and fostered a positive community among the guests. One tip is to bring a twin sheet as there is only a comforter on the bed.

The bike ride scenery was almost 75% amazing, 25% was nice or ok. Having said that, I am an experienced cyclist but I do not enjoy riding on busy roads or in traffic. The meals were ample and enjoyable. It was so nice to come back from a ride and have a 3-4 course meal ready for you at dinner. The staff were lovely, attentive, and professional. The Prima Donna was our vessel. Very clean and comfortable. Large bathrooms, good water pressure, and temperature. It is important to look at the maps provided when you attend the route briefing. Keep questions to a minimum and directed toward route information. The bike I had was a pedal with electric assist and my 1st time using e assist. Great bike with comfy saddle, good gear shifting, brakes and panniers provided. Riding near Vienna was very busy on the bike paths. Stopping at a cafe when you see one on any ride, is worth stopping and enjoying the rest and good beer or coffee. My first ever “cruise” and it was just the type of experience I had hoped. We were a group of friends and siblings, and 12 of us. Great time.

The bike and boat along the Moselle River was beautiful. The boat, the Magnifique III was spacious and comfortable and crew happy and very helpful. The bikes were well maintained and easy to ride. The stops were well planned and the guides informative. one guide, Hetty, was exceptional. The pace was relaxed and enjoyable. The dining was plentiful, varied and very good.

The vegan meals. The bike routes were great. The guide was accommodating and the group was able to stay together.

excellent trip to get a taste of southern Dalmatia and the islands. E bikes are definitely recommended, and make the trip more relaxed and enjoyable. Our guides Tara and Hjrove were friendly, knowledgeable and communicated well. Tara arranged a wine tasting for some of us at our request, and they were creative and flexible when our itinerary changed due to the weather. we definitely will come back and spend more time on each island.

Everyday had its own memorable take aways. I would say touring the villages and back country and the hospitality of every Albanian person we met. they are so proud other country, their food and their hospitality is amazing.

Our 2 guides, Dimitri and Vicci were fabulous!!!

Met some very nice fellow passengers during the trip. Crew was very professional.

Bom suporte, bons hotéis, exceto o de Frias que não era bom.

Seeing the country, great staff, well organized daily tours , great food , great guests!!

The Bike and Barge on the Ave Maria exceeded my expectations. The boat was very comfortable (twin beds, bathroom for each room). The room had more storage than expected which is good because I overpacked. The food was fantastic from the mushroom risotto to the homemade lasagna and tiramasu. The chef, boat captain and bike guides are extraordinary hard workers and such a pleasure to be around. We can't wait to go on another trip with them. Although I initially thought this was a self-guided tour, it is not. However, I am glad it was guided by Silvia and Caterina...two amazing people that made the trips a lot of fun.

The fantastic bike routes, great staff, (especially Lubey and Norman), and casual atmosphere!

Our bike and barge trip from Venice to Mantova was absolutely outstanding from start to finish. Each day’s ride was beautifully planned, with amazing scenery, charming towns, and just the right balance of activity and relaxation. The daily stops gave us such a rich taste of Italian culture, history, and countryside life.

The food on board was fabulous — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented — truly a highlight of the trip. Accommodations were excellent, comfortable, and thoughtfully maintained throughout the journey.

Most of all, the guides and entire crew were exceptional. Their knowledge, warmth, and genuine enthusiasm brought everyone together and created such a fun, friendly atmosphere among the group.

This was an unforgettable adventure. It was perfectly organized, wonderfully led, and deeply memorable. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a unique way to experience Italy!

This is my 5th bike & barge vacation and by far the best. Koen and Christina have an exquisite ship. Every detail has been addressed with function and thought.

The food was perfect. Cabin was so comfortable. I really appreciated every detail.

But the best part was the crew on the merlijn. Thomas the guide knew the ins and outs of the villages. He was able to direct my daughter to a great bakery in each village. Cat made sure we were taken care of in the galley. Always with a big smile. It was amazing how quickly he knew everyone’s name.

Each day we had enought stops to make the ride easy on the tosh. Espresso stop, lunch stop, afternoon stop and just a few get the blood back stops.

Rising along the Main river was great. The paths along the river were pleasant. Only a couple times were we on roads with cars. Luckly minimal cars.

I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Holland is a beautiful country with amazing farmlands, and darling villages, all set with a back drop of amazing canals and waterways and bike paths. We used big ferries to cross canals, we used small little bike ferries for smaller canals. We met so many warm and welcoming people and ate at quaint cafes on the water, and outdoor restaurants in the cities. It was a truly magical experience.
The boat, the Normandie, was a beautiful boat with a large sundeck and outdoor area in the shade. It had a lovely salon, an extensive bar, and great meals. The staff was friendly and helpful with with the bikes and the rides every day, and the meals and any needs on the boat.

We had an excellent time on the tour. The sites we great, biking path was paved, food and the care on the Iris was excellent.
Biking on the city bridges were not always easy. A little scary with the traffic. Loved the e-bike. Would definitely go on another bike and barge trip.

Just an absolutely fun filled 7 days. Loved being on our own, just taking our time and figuring out what went wrong and where we went wrong haha. Never really got lost and always felt safe. Plenty of time to complete the days journey which always ended with a brew in some cute little bar sharing a laugh of our days experiences. The accommodations were very comfortable and LOVED the staff, as well all the bikers were just fun to be around. Credit to Peter for his daily recaps and “what is on for tomorrow, what you can see along the way”. He also had these fun little games that made everyone laugh and connect, good job, Peter. I enjoyed everyday for sure but I will say the trip to the North Sea was a huge surprise and delight for me. I have always lived in Atlantic Canada where you always enjoy MANY amazing beautiful beaches, but that beautiful day at the North Sea was for me spectacular. What a beautiful beach and a day to match. My thoughts were “perfect ending to a perfect week”.

The crew, the meals, Francesco was an excellent guide.
Accommodation was great.

The magnificent boat including cabins.
Memorable and challenging bike rides.
Excellent guides and captain.
Beautiful islands and villages.

All great islands and rides. Our guide, crew , chef and captain all wonderful.

The scenery and views were amazing! As was the camaraderie on the ship. Our guides did a wonderful job and were cognizant of and attentive to everyone's needs and interest.

My husband and I loved every minute of this bike and barge trip with Tripsite. The Swiss Crown is a beautiful ship equipped with lovely spacious rooms, lovely dining room and seating area and hot tub on the top level. The meals surpassed our expectations! From surf and turf to local cuisine. Each day the crew greeted us and looked after everything from room cleaning, expert dining experience, loading and unloading our bikes, presenting each day's travel suggestions, and offering fun nightly activities. Seriously, could not have been better. We have travelled extensively but this is the first time we did a bike and barge, and it won't be the last. We met wonderful people and experienced the countryside in a whole different way than by car or bus. It is a unique experience.

Do many things, the biking was amazing, the views and infrastructure and routes were exceptional. The staff was phenomenal and the chef made the best food from all other river cruises. We enjoyed the evening entertainment alot.

I loved this tour. The biking was easy, beautiful, and enough exercise that I felt I could eat lots of the delicious food onboard. The workers on board were helpful and friendly and they seemed to honestly enjoy their job and the visitors onboard.

We had such an amazing time, it's hard to pin down one thing that made the trip. Our guides, Srdan, Ana and Marco were fantastic. Such great attitudes, able to combine fun with professionalism. The crew on the San Snova were top notch. Always on top of everything to make sure it went smoothly. And then there is the scenery! Unbelievable.
Things to remember to bring- shampoo, lotion, etc. If you have an e-bike, they don't have water bottle cages or mounts so bring a handlebar cage if you like having access to water during the ride. At the end of September, the weather changes quickly. The beginning of the trip was in the 80s and a week later the temps were in the low 60s. And now that I've told you to pack lots of clothes, the rooms are small and don't have a ton of space. We had duffle bags that were able to fit under the beds.

The guides a staff aboard Bellezza were amazing and accommodating. We so enjoyed our trip, especially biking the islands. What a great way to see everything in slow motion.

The first day and last day of biking were beautiful. The route the other days weren’t as nice.
The boat staff were wonderful and the food was delicious.
Only downside was having to be on the boat for a certain time as the boat moved all night long. I prefer the tours when the boat moves as we bike and stays in port all night. Nice for after dinner walk in towns.
