5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 1591 to 1620 of 4618

The boat and staff were amazing, really informative and couldn't have been more helpful. Boat and rooms were beautiful, food was amazing, cycling was easy if you are used to do any level of cycling but still varied and interesting with different options.

We had a wonderful experience on this trip. The owner of the barge and his crew were just like family. lovely meals from our wonderful cook and the first mate was always there to help and a plush was him doing washing every day for all of us. Our guide was very experienced and was always available. Our captain was unbelievable. This was our second bike, barge trip, and crew could not be faulted. my only suggestion would be if you are not a real good cyclist consider using an electric assist bike France has a lot of hills. On the hole a wonderful two weeks. Thank you. FENIKS

Fabulous food-very fresh and expertly prepared. Beautiful rides through the countryside- and many historic sites!

Entire trip was excellent! Great service and communication from TripSite. The equipment was perfect, everything went very well. Would highly recommend!

The trip was awesome. John from Porto bike shop was so helpful and patient. I would absolutely use Trip Site for my next trip!!

The 5 days of cycling were all quite unique, therefore we had new experiences each day. The accommodations, bikes, trip sheets, bag transfers, and GPS were all excellent. It was quite amazing how we were routed through an assortment of backroads, laneways, walkways, and dirt paths, while avoiding busy roads for the majority of the 260km trip.

I was surprised and impressed with the quality of the meals. Even though the breakfast / lunches were the same format, they varied them up in small ways (different types of eggs, different bread rolls, sweet pastry). All of the staff was top notch!

If you get a bunk cabin, bring a battery operated fan for the top bunk. While the cabin a/c works well, the top bunk will be several degrees warmer than the bottom.

This trip exceeded my every expectations from start to finish. The ship was more beautiful than than the brochure. The bikes were top quality although next time I will definitely get an e-bike. The crew & service were top notch! The meals & beverages were outstanding. I especially liked the different wine pairing at each dinner. The entertainment was eclectic, from soft piano during Tea & cake time, then kicked it up at nite for dancing. The pirate & 70’s theme nights were also super fun & unexpected. Everyday was a new experience. I especially liked our last day Krems - Melk and all the great villages, gothic towns, Vineyard’s, castles and breathtaking views.
The only thing I would change personally, is the guided bike tour in the city. Our tour guide was amazing, but I was so focused on riding the bike, due to lots of cyclist and lack of experience in city cycling and the rain, that I feel I missed out on lots. The next time I would due the walking tour or hop on - hop off! Thanks you for the great memories.

I loved this trip! The food was wonderful, our guides Hetty and Corri were amazing, and the boat was very nice. Unfortunately the air conditioning in our room did not work very well, but other than that everything was perfect. The staff was excellent.

It was an absolutely amazing trip! I had high hopes from this tour and it even exceeded anything I could ever hope for. The boat was incredible, everything was beautifully decorated, our cabins we're really nice and well equipped, the sun deck was very pleasant and gave us a good place to take in all the beautiful landscapes we passed through, and the hot tub was a real treat! The staff was super friendly and professional, and the food was excellent. My need for vegan food was answered above any expectations, they really went out of their way to include me and give me the same dishes as everyone else but with a vegan version. The bicycles were excellent as well, very well maintained and they felt light and easy to accelerate even though they we're heavier than my own bike. I could really cruise in those bicycles with little effort. The routes were absolutely amazing and beautiful, the briefings were excellent and the app made it even easier to navigate (with added on map points of interest). The schedule was very well balanced between the cycling routes and rest days in which we did some sightseeing in the amazing cities we went through. Overall, simply incredible and I would highly recommend this trip!! Thank you!!

Wonderful trip, actually; perfectly organized, very friendly and helpful staff, everything went by the book.
Especially admirable was the response of the kitchen staff to our demand for vegan food.

We did the costal route from Porto to Santiago, unguided with a group of 9. We all had an amazing time and really enjoyed the route. Lots of varied terrain and beautiful views. There are a few challenges along the way going through bigger cities but all a part of the experience. The accommodations were all great as well as the food. Highly recommended!

Biking through the small Austrian cities was wonderful. The Se Manon cruise boat is well appointed and the boat floated down the Danube so quietly. The Staff on the SE Manon was eager, enthusiastic, talented and fun. We ate and we drank plenty. The Chefs and the Bartenders took good care of us.

We have always done guided bike tours with TripSite so this self-guided tour of Corsica was a first. Although it was a little more complicated to set up Ani at TripSite was very helpful and the folks at EuropeActive were great to work with locally.
The weather was perfect; the scenery exceptional; and the Corsican people very friendly. Our trip was timed to tuck in before the tourist season so crowds had not yet arrived.
Tri p exceeded expectations.

Our boat, crew, tour guides, food, accomodations and overall experience was exceptional. The Magnifique II is a great boat. The small size of the group and the alternative mileages each day with two guides allowed everyone to find a pace and distance that suited them. A gluten free meal plan was available for a small additional cost and for the most part was as good as gluten free food can be. Everything was run on time but without hurry.

My husband and I travelled as a group of 8. The staff was fantastic. The Ave Maria barge was spacious and we loved the food onboard and the upper deck was fantastic to relax after the rides or before breakfast.

One of my most memorable moments on the trip was dropping the anchor in the Adriatic Sea and swimming in the beautiful blue water. Also biking over 100 miles on 6 different gorgeous island was truly a priceless experience. It was truly an amazing experience for me and my 18 year old daughter.

I was worried about motion sickness on the boat and never once did I fell sick.

Riding through the small vineyards and stone cottages with farm animals.

Stopping at chapels and churches.

Riding alongside the scenic rocky coastline.

The trip guides were great and the ship was very comfortable, with friendly and welcoming staff. We also loved the areas we visited. Beautiful countryside that we probably wouldn’t have seen any other way. Amsterdam was interesting, but be careful of all the bikes, which rule the streets. Bruges was smaller and older. We had a fun time.

Guides Mirta & Kristofer were terrific and flexible. Angelina our cook served up meal after meal of tasty food & plenty of it. The bicycling was very scenic.
I would opt for an above deck cabin though, well worth the extra cost.

The most memorable part of the trip for me as the third day, which was pretty challenging physically (nothing good in life is easy). The scenery was spectacular as we were along the coast for much of the day. We stopped for lunch at the recommended restaurant -- Taperia a Camboa with an ocean view and a menu swimming with wonderful seafood tapa choices. I had squid which was delicious. After lunch the ride continued on the coast to Baiona where GPS led us right to a fortress overlooking the city and the bay. I could hardly believe we were staying at such a scenic place. Be sure and walk the walls while you are there for wonderful views of the city and get down to the marina and board the replica of the famous caravel 'Pinta'.

Tripsite did an excellent job of selecting accommodations for our journey on the Camino. At each location we were greeted with exceptional places to rest our weary bones after a day of riding including a couple of castles! We could not have asked for anything more!

Great way to tour the Danube River valley with a good mix of active bike riding and the opportunity to visit cities such as Brataslavia, Budapest and Vienna by having a boat that can cover long distances while you are sleeping.

We loved the great cycling network in this part of Holland. Our favorite part of the trip was the Nederlands Openlucht museum for the great historical Insights. The Airborne Museum Harkenstein was also a great stop for WWII Operation Market Garden. The hotel was excellent and so was their daily breakfast. Only found one restaurant in Otterlo that was average, and the rest were excellent. The Hap en Trap bicycling route was our favorite. Also, the GPS files were spot on for navigation with my Garmin 130 computer.

We have been on 9 tours now - and this is definitely one of the good trips - why? the CREW!!!! Cpt Willie runs a great barge -that crew from the chef to the guides to the deck hand - all were involved in making our trip a success - and they were so much fun ....... the chef Frank definitely a big winner as well.
he ride was good - getting to see all the war memorials and WW1 battle regions - then on the champagne region .... very beautiful .... we had 2 tastings at 2 cellars - (what would have been nice is having a tasting at a champagne cellar - show casing a variety of labels and how the tastes vary .....this is the first time all were on electric bikes and they were definitely handy on the hills and handled Frances bike tracks and trails well .
The other passengers were alot of fun also and everyone got on well - but it was a good trip - good ride -good boat - good scenery - yep ready to book 2024!

Ok, ir is a wonderful combination of history, culture, with pretty beach, we are in vacation, all the year use the car, in holidays use the Bike. Was perfect. The GPS trackking that you purpose me was perfect, I i used with Maps.me and
Never lost.
One suggestions is mark with favoritos the point of interest in the GPS Route. I am not sure, if it is possible.

The trip was very good abd the staff was excellent!

The bike tours through the quaint countryside. The crew on the boat were helpful and the food was incredible.

The combination of an outstanding yacht and crew with the beautiful and informative bike rides far surpassed our expectations! We had never done a bike tour and will definitely book another trip. The guides, Ivan and Mario were so informative and attentive. They went out of their way to assure we had a wonderful time. I believe Croatia is one of the most beautiful countries in the world. We would highly recommend this trip to anyone who loves natural beauty and enjoys learning history. FANTASTIC!

We loved all of our trip! The barge was lovely, the food first class and the 2 guides were excellent. We enjoyed meeting new people, the relaxed atmosphere and our daily rides.
