5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 151 to 180 of 4571

We elected to do self guided rides every day, this allowed us to stop and take photos, or explore as much as we wanted at each stop. The Ride GPS app worked great! We could confidently strike out on our own. Guides (Corry and Anna) answered any questions we had, to clarify stops, what to do, etc. before we set out. The evening tours were a bonus we enjoyed each day. The barge was way more luxurious than we expected. Every staff member was super nice, and took care of any request we had. The food (snacks, meals and drinks) were also beyond our expectations. We were glad we packed rain gear, as we needed it 3 days. E-bikes made the miles very manageable (we elected long route every day), and the provided dry bag panniers were greatly appreciated. My first trip to Europe, and I believe biking 180 miles allowed me to experience The Netherlands and Belgium way better than someone visiting only the big cities. I HIGHLY recommend this trip for anyone who likes to bike.

The walks were great. The daily lunches were phenomenal. Our driver/guide, Bojan Mismas, was fantastic - never stopped talking, kept is informed and amused and just made the holiday.

Tough cycling but gorgeous scenery. The San Snova and its crew were just the best.

The most memorable part of this trip for me were the views of the beautiful Basque Country coastline and the charming places where we spent the nights. The weather cooperated for the most part also which made it that much better. I also would be remiss if I didn't mention Hennie who goes ABOVE & BEYOND to make sure each of us has a wonderful experience & addresses any of our concerns. She's the BEST!!! Our tour guide Pepe(as we called him) was great and swung in with us almost every night & we/I really enjoyed his company. I also met several new people which I will continue to keep in touch with. I really LOVE that aspect as well. So Thankyou Tripsite, Hennie, Pepe & our gang for another fun trip.

The trip was amazing. The crew was very professional and friendly. They did a great job of looking after us.

Most memorable were the numerous little towns, beautiful farmland, and forests. The arrival in Czesky Krumlov was spectacular. Stop to take a picture before descending into the town because you will never get this opportunity on the way out.
Hotels were nearly perfect for our needs. I would suggest an upgrade for Czesky Krumlov. The hotel was quite outdated, food marginal. All other accommodations were great.

I well guided tour with beautiful sites! we could not be happier with the accommodations, food and hospitality we found on this tour. Highly recommend.

We have taken other bike trips; however this experience was the most fun and memorable! Georgio our guide, his knowledge of the area was amazing. He packed in as much or less as our group wanted. His dry humor was really fun to be around. We miss him already! The food, amazing! Sara was our chef; the meals were perfect. The care she takes, and what she can put out in a 12 hour day is crazy. A fresh baked tart every morning, fruits, cheeses, meats, homemade granolas and yogurt. The deserts each night, were so....good! Sarita was the house manager. It being her first week, she did an outstanding job! The entire team acted as if they had been working together for years. We felt so lucky that we had such a great crew. Because it is a small group of 20 guests, you become friends fast. Each night a couple of guests would stand up and roast some of the other guests, it was so fun! We sang songs and played games after dinner every night. It was like summer camp for adults, a big sleep over. We will definitely be booking another trip!

Everything was excellent! Staff, guides, food, the boat, bikes, and the itinerary. We loved the small group experience -25 guests. We got to know everyone:)

Great hotel options and very nice cycling routes. The ride was very scenic and enjoyable towns to visit. I would recommend staying at least one extra day in Pollenca as well. It was a great city to explore.

We loved biking and seeing the breathtaking scenery of Austria, loved coming back to the Swiss Crown every afternoon for cake and coffee. The whole crew were wonderful - especially our waiters Ivo, Sonia, and Damjen. And the food was excellent!

The tour Vienna Budapest was fantastic. The whole family was looking forward to starting the trip, as we had already taken the "Passau - Vienna" tour with Tripsite in 2014.
Every day on the bike was a family adventure, as the landscapes along the Danube are beautiful and there are many places to rest and contemplate God's creation. There are also castles, churches and historical sites that are important for learning about the local culture.
The hotels are excellent, with delicious breakfasts and are located in cozy cities. Their staff is always helpful.
In order to make the tour even better, on the last day (Estergom-Szentendre) between the first and second ferry boat, we suggest a replace route because the proposal one is very difficult to cycle. We turned back and took an alternative route, across a bridge.
The most memorable part of the tour is arriving in Budapest via the Danube, at the end of the day, by boat.

Boat was nicely appointed and good clean cabins. A small gym room with some weights would be a nice addition Tomas was a superb guide. A great balance between local knowledge and keeping 18 riders moving at a comfortable pace. Leslie , the cruise director was always available and worked hard to keep us informed for the next day and volunteer ice packs when needed! Even a restocked bottle of our favourite gin was procured when the bar ran out! Crew were excellent; bikes were always on shore or back on the boat as needed. Service at meals and bar were first class. Bratislava was the most interesting city tour; being the place where the iron curtain came down. Budapest night walking tour was spectacular. We found the e-bikes to be very heavy and a 30 minute familiarisation on day one would have beeen good. 95% of the meals were good. Certainly the most scenic and interesting cycling that we have ever done. Total was about 205km in the week. Take care on the 2km long bridge on the second day. It’s a very narrow cycling track; best walked if comprised by height and traffic noise! Overall, we thoroughly recommend this tour.

We had a wonderful time on this bike and barge. Staff was fun and helpful. We had the best dinners I have ever eaten ~phenomenal chef on board.

Iris and all the staff were terrific. Food was superb. Guides were very good. All around a great experience for our group of 12

We completed the Dingle Peninsula tour in early September with another couple. Please keep in mind that we are in our mid 60's and early 70's. Overall, we had a wonderful experience. First, the e-bikes were top notch and the owner provided very good instructions. He also checked on us a few times during the week. I highly recommend not missing the first ride along the Greenway to get acquainted with the bike. You'll also experience a pretty ride along Tralee Bay to Fenit and to the mighty St. Brendan statue at the end of the pier. Dinner at The Tankard on the way back was wonderful with a beautiful view of the bay.

The next day riding was the longest at 33 miles and brought us into the peninsula. To be honest, this was not pleasant and I questioned selecting the trip. Riding through town was tricky but didn't last long. It was the two lane, no shoulder, rather busy,100km speed limit that was the problem. On top of that, we had wind and rain. It got quieter, more of the type of roads we had anticipated, as we got closer to the Pub Guesthouse in Cloghane. We were windblown and a bit wet but happy to arrive in the classic old pub. After seeing our condition, one of the patrons said to me, 'You didn't come here for the weather did ya? You came here for the experience!' That set the tone for a wonderful night of Guinness, warm food and the best music we heard that week. The next ride was over the highest pass in Ireland, but the windy, rainy weather continued. The bike rental owner gave us the option to be driven over and we happily accepted. From there the rides were what we expected - quiet roads with incredible views! The Wild Atlantic Way is an amazing stretch where the sheep have the prime locations. The beach at Inch was an incredible sight at 3 miles long. If not going in for a swim, the walk around sunset was unforgettable. Staying in Dingle for 3 nights was just the right amount of time. A wonderful town with great restaurants, fresh seafood, and shopping. Luckily, heading back to Tralee was on a different road, much better than the ride out. It had another good size hill to conquer so we were happy to have the e-bikes. And it still felt like a workout.

We had great food and music along the way and the people we came in contact with couldn't have been friendlier. Be sure to bring the appropriate rain gear and all will be 'brilliant', as they say in Ireland!

We had an amazing time. Just biking through those beautiful landscape, the delicious food and amazing wine made that trip unbelievable.

Great hotels. The paths were excellent. The distance travelled each day was quite manageable.

We had a wonderful time. Thank you for taking care of us. All the accommodations where great. The luggage transfers were flawless, and the bike were fun to ride.

This was truly the best trip I’ve had in a long time! Everything about it was fantastic from the incredible sites We visited to the breathtaking biking routes. Every day was amazing. The experience on the boat was unforgettable, with outstanding staff, delicious food, and excellent service. Leslie, our cruise Director was absolutely top-notch. He was informative, funny and always ready to answer questions. Honestly, it’s hard to pick just one highlight because the entire trip was so special. I’ll definitely be recommending this adventure to all of my biking friends!

My daughter and I went on this trip together and had a wonderful time. The scenery was absolutely gorgeous from the views of the cliffs overlooking the ocean to the green pastures with horses grazing and quaint villages.

Hennie was the most gracious and helpful person I’ve ever met. The tour guide , we called him Pepe, was a blessing in disguise. If we hadn’t had him we might have struggled not knowing Spanish, he was very accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to meet our needs. After taking the tour Cindy, my wife, and I were glad it started in Bilbao vs starting in ribadesella, as each day got better and better!! The group was a lot of fun and we loved hearing their experiences with tripsite and the trips they had been on. Tripsite was awesome to work with, it made the setup on our end almost effortless. One thing I wish had been conveyed to us was to purchase euros through our US bank, if it hadn’t been for Hennie we would have been paying higher fees to convert $ to euros! Again , Hennie was awesome and we look forward to booking more tours with Tripsite.

Riding along the beautiful country paths, leaning about the history of the area and walking through the lovely old towns.

The trip was great. I appreciated the small boat (33 guests vs. the 100+ on a previous trip down the Danube). The staff was attentive and always friendly. The destinations were perfect even when we had some weather to deal with.
Overall I would highly recommend this bike/boat trip to anyone who asks.

The tour guides, Cory and Bree, were the best! They took such good care of us, adjusted the rides appropriately when necessary, and made the whole experience richer and more memorable.

Very good boat, great food, excellant guides, staff and captain on Iris.

The bikes were great. The crew took care of everything, answered any questions we had and provided insight to suggested stops along the way. Tripsite tour representative Kirsten went above and beyond to answer all our pre-trip questions. The routes were very picturesque, provided ample opportunity to explore the countryside and learn about the local cultures. The food was great and great suggestion to bring a container for lunch. We will definitely book again!

The staff was great! The islands and the water were gorgeous...

The most memorable part of the trip was the biking guides, fabulous!

The biking each day was the best part. We went through the charming coastal towns and along quiet roads that showed off beautiful ocean views and green countryside. It was stunning!
