5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 151 to 180 of 4505

We loved this bike and boat tour in the Ionian islands! It was so fun being on the boat and meeting people from other countries and traveling to all the beautiful islands. The biking was challenging because of the hills, but an E bike made it enjoyable. The tour guides were wonderful and the boat crew were also - we had excellent meals every day on the boat. We also loved the swim stops-the entire week felt magical.

Great crew, very welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing and plenty of it.

This was our fourth and BEST trip on the Merlijn! As usual the Capitan and Christina were marvelous hosts and Kat our bartender and greeter made the trip so fun! The bikes and our guide Thomas were excellent, the routes were lovely and the stops were interesting and informative. I plan to visit the Merlijn again and enjoy another tour.

This was a very scenic trip along the Danube river. The Merlijn is a hidden gem of the river. There is no compatible ship like the Merlijn. The interior of the ship and cabins have all been remodeled and are top notch. The chef and staff are all amazing and welcome you with open arms. If you want an active vacation, you are in the right direction.

Merlijn is top notch service and food. All staff including Thomas, the bike guide, were very friendly and funny.

Great scenery, friendly staff, good service and good food. well organized.

Route was beautiful. Guides were careful, knew the routes and had good senses of humor. Also patient.

Cycling with Sylvia and Francesco! The places they decided to stop and tour-cheese factory, glass blowing in Marano, grandpa distillery… All great experiences. The food on board was fabulous! Chefs did a great job. Boat was orderly, clean comfortable. Would travel with them again in a heartbeat!

An excellent adventure! We enjoyed the balance between, relaxing on the boat, biking and learning about the history of the places we visited.

Boat was awesome and the crew was stellar ❤️. Loved riding through the Dutch countryside with a bunch of old friends and some new ones! Guides were great as well. We always felt safe and looked after!

The route was gorgeous, filled with interesting landmarks, museums, castles and natural beauty.
It was easy cycling and the accommodations were fantastic! Highly recommend.

Nice trip and good service. Perfect bed & breakfast. Trip went tru nice nature.

Slovenia is a stunning place. I've traveled all over the world and was blown away. Friendly people, amazing (and cheap) food, and the Julian Alps are stunning as is Lake Bled. Highly recommend this tour.

Most of the paths were clearly marked and well travelled. Accommodations were nice and the breakfasts were good. Staff was quick to respond to any questions I had and were professional. I would recommend this tour to others.

Riding the bicycle through the gorgeous rural French countryside.

Beautiful bike rides and swimming in the clear very blue sea. We met so many nice people! This is a great trip - adventure mixed with relaxation. We plan to book another tour for next year. This may be an annual must-do!

What a wonderful way to see the islands of Croatia. The guides and crew were fabulous. The guides were knowledge and friendly. The crew was attentive and took care of everything. The bikes were in good shape. I used an ebike and glad I decided to switch. My husband is a cyclist and he rode a touring bike all week. The hills are tough but he did it. It was hot during our week and the guides planned for extra stops with was needed and appreciated. The Romatica was clean and well taken care of. The cabins were bigger than we expected, simple but just what you need on a trip like this one.

The trip was well run, food was great the tour was amazing look at the country's.

Bruges to Amsterdam Bicycle Trip
I can’t recommend this trip highly enough—it’s a truly unforgettable experience. The bike trails in Belgium and the Netherlands are exceptional, offering a picturesque ride through beautiful countryside.

Our journey lasted seven days, with six days of riding. We spent an extra day in Bruges at the start and two extra days in Amsterdam at the end. The cycling route took us from Bruges, Belgium, to Middelburg in the Netherlands on day one, followed by stops in Zierikzee, Willemstad, Papendrecht, Gouda, and finally Amsterdam. Most of the ride wound through the Dutch countryside, with stunning views at every turn. We chose the A-level hotels. All accommodations were excellent. Breakfast was included and excellent at every stop.

Arriving in Amsterdam was an adventure in itself. By then we were grateful for five days of practice with the bikes—and with Dutch cycling culture—because biking in Amsterdam is intense. With bicycles being the primary mode of transportation, the bike traffic is constant and fast-paced.

Our group consisted of four riders, ages 76, 72, 70, and 32. Three of us started with e-bikes, while the lone standard cyclist switched to an e-bike by day three. We had hoped for tailwinds by traveling from Bruges to Amsterdam, but instead faced headwinds every single day—making e-bikes an invaluable choice.

The trip covered just over 200 miles. We rode more than 40 miles on two days, about 26 miles on one day, and in the 30-mile range on the other three.

Tips and Recommendations:
• Phone holder: Bring one for your mobile phone. The navigation app is essential, and you’ll want your phone mounted securely.
• Navigation: Before your first ride you’ll receive maps and route details, and you’ll need to download GUIBO, the navigational app used for the trip. It’s excellent—providing real-time, detailed route guidance. On days with route options, you can select your preference directly in the app.
• Bikes: The rental e-bikes were well-used but reliable. We had no mechanical issues or battery problems during the trip. If you’re accustomed to using mirrors, consider purchasing handlebar clip-on mirrors in advance, since the rentals didn’t have them.
• Ferries: Some routes require short ferry or water-bus rides. While most accepted contactless payments (Apple Pay or credit card), it’s wise to carry a little cash since not all ferries do.

All in all, this was an amazing trip—scenic, well-organized, and absolutely worth doing.

Budapest at night. Cycling the the Wachusett Valley and Vienna

Biking experience was awesome. Any person can ride an electric bike but our guide made the trip so comfortable

The overall experience was fantastic, the leaders were a load of fun and very organised . The ship crew , captain, deck hands and cooks were very obliging. Our itinerary was changed slightly due to circumstances outside anyone’s control, the changed stops were equally as good as the planned ports.
The food was exceptionally good and plentiful.
The crew went out of their way to make the trip enjoyable and loads of fun!

Just finished this trip and it was a stellar experience. beautiful state, nice people and the tour was amazing. Everything was taken care of.. we just had to ride thru beautiful scenery, eat really good food and stay at these darling inns. Perfect locations for daily rides, picnic along the coast and the guides were knowledgeable about their state, very patient and just fun nice people. highly recommend. !!!

The trip from Bruges to Amsterdam was outstanding. The countryside in Belgium was beautiful. The bike paths were all safe, wide, and well marked. Arriving in Amsterdam during Friday rush hour was a bit of a challenge but not overly stressful. The accommodations were all very nice and centrally located in the towns/villages with the exception of Dordrecht.
We have recommended this trip to 3 different groups since we got back and they are all very interested.

The entire experience was amazing, and I loved everything, the places we rode through, the lodgings, the food, everyone who took care of us, it was fantastic!!

The trip was fantastic! From beautiful accommodations, to the fabulous staff on the barge and the outstanding tour guide! We couldn't have asked for a better trip! We will definitely be back. Thanks Tripsite!!!

The beautiful scenery, everything so different from the US - and in many respects, better - food, conservation, transportation.

Our cycling holiday in Austria was simply wonderful! Everything was perfectly organized: the carefully chosen routes, the spectacular landscapes along the Danube, the comfortable accommodations, and the excellent bikes. We felt pampered and couldn’t wait each day to discover the next chosen location. A heartfelt thank you to the organizing company for their professionalism and attention to detail — thanks to them, we had an unforgettable experience, our very first of this kind. Because of them, we’re already looking forward to repeating such adventures in the future

The outstanding professionalism by the crew. That includes the restaurant personnel, the administrative staff, the domestic staff and of course the captain and fellow officers. However, there should be more time allotted for Vienna exploring.and some of the very historic and interesting smaller cities along with Danube.

The small towns we visited were awesome! Each one had their own flavor! We found great restaurants and quaint bars to visit every where we went. The company was VERY accommodating when we wanted to change our biking plan. I would highly recommend them! The GPS was easy to follow, we appreciated the food and site suggestions, and the hotels we stayed in along the way were top notch!
