5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 181 to 210 of 4853

Riding along the beautiful vineyards of the Mosel river, with the ease of an electric bike, knowing that all our meals and a place to stay (on the Olympia boat) for the next week was all arranged was such a wonderful experience. The boat staff and guide were all helpful and worked so hard to make sure all the guests had a great experience. The, meals were great and served with care. It was nice to be able to pack a lunch every day. The cabin was more spacious than expected. Great to have our own bathroom as well. Everything about the trip exceeded our expectations. We really enjoyed this trip!

We had a great time on this trip – there were six of us – all riding electric bikes – we were all impressed with the quality of the bikes and there were no breakdowns or flats! The route took us up the scenic coastline and then inland through fields of green littered with baby lambs, ducklings and goslings, calves and colts! It was spring time in Holland! Most of the route is on bike paths, is completely flat, and has beautiful scenery.

We opted for Category A accommodations and all the hotels were great with delicious breakfasts. The luggage transfer was smooth each day and was always there before we arrived. The Guido app got us right to our hotels very day with the exception of a couple of detours where Google Maps helped out. The logistics of this tour were excellent.

I have taken five tours through Tripsite and once again I was very impressed with the partner company chosen and tour provided. Would definitely recommend this tour to others considering biking in the Netherlands.

We loved our time on this tour – the Umbria scenery was beautiful and all three towns have a different character that made exploring them interesting. All of our hotels were lovely and had great breakfasts. The various dinners, wine tastings and cooking class were first-class and we really enjoyed the culinary part of this trip. – the wine tasting dinner at Enoteco Properzio in Spello was a highlight. We found the walks to be as described – definitely some hills involved but the views were worth the effort. Super liked the app that provided not only all of the walking directions but also all the information for the hotels and dinners/wine tastings. Every aspect of this tour went off without a hitch – the logistics were great. Would definitely recommend this tour.

The Old Cities were fabulous as well as the National Park.
Mostly, we enjoyed the activities and how we were busy all day. The food on the boat and the crew are commendable.
We used regular touring bikes where the overall majority of tourers had peddled assist. Some of the hills were challenging but we enjoyed the exercise and the group waited for us at the top of the hill. Unless you are in good physical condition, suggest peddle assist. It was great to meet folks from US (all over), Canada and Europe (Germany, Austria, Switzerland)

The islands we visited were breathtaking. We had such a wonderful time getting to know the other passengers on the ship. The guides and crew were professional and charming. My only regret was that the food was so good I gained 3 pounds in one week!

Everything was top notch. The quaint hotel in a charming little French village had great accommodations. The grounds were beautiful. Breakfast included meats and cheeses, yogurt, cereal, breads and croissants. Very hearty meal before heading out to ride. The evening meals were varied and all prepared by the restaurant's chef. We enjoyed every meal and the interaction with the staff. Claudia, our host, fitted us for our bikes and met with us each morning after breakfast to go over the routes. She was very thorough and we had no trouble finding our way. The routes were spectacular as they traversed the French countryside with beautiful views and a couple were Tour de France routes. Recommendations for lunch stops were excellent and we enjoyed meeting the local residents. Even though our trip was self--guided, Claudia was always a phone call away if needed. Will definitely return again.

My most memorable part of the trip was cycling through the tulip fields

Loved every part of the trip. We are not cruise trip people, but this was an excellent experience and would do it again. The number of passengers was just right. The staff was outstanding. Thank you.

Great trip and unexpected pleasure with different restaurants and sights. Highly recommended! Bikes were in top shape and luggage was always delivered as expected.

Our bike-barge trip from Aigue-Mortes to Avignon was fabulous. We rode through beautiful countryside and could see why the great painters chose to create their masterpieces in Provence. The wildflowers, farms, vineyards, and white horses were spectacular. Our guide, Gabo, was excellent and shepherded us very well through all kinds of terrains and experiences. He was knowledgeable and prepared. Sara, our chef, made wonderfully delicious, creative meals that we greatly enjoyed. The boat, L'Estello was comfortable and a great place to relax after our long rides. Omar attended to all the details and the captain managed the boat well. The bikes were in excellent condition and were well equipped. We felt it was a great experience.

We loved the entire experience! Boarding the boat and unpacking once was wonderful. We’ve done many bike rides and the daily grind of packing, unpacking and being down at the tour vehicle gets a bit exhausting.

We had the junior suite and it was great. Plenty of storage space and the large windows were fantastic ! The food was excellent and we were able to gather a group of eight other friends to join us so every night and every day at breakfast we had a table of 10.

Probably our only suggestion would be that we would’ve liked to have spent more time in Vienna. We could’ve skipped the day before and it would’ve been nice to arrive in Vienna first thing in the morning and have a full day there.

We are ready to book another bike and barge in the near future.

Wonderful cycling through small towns, forests and wetlands. This trip beat all my expectations.

The rides through the country side. The small authentic towns were beautiful.

The cycling was great. It was hard to say which day as each experience was great. I did love seeing the Carrière luminaries.

Cycling in the country side. So beautiful. The excursions were enjoyable and all the history very informative.

The planning and seamless adjustments were the most remarkable part. I travel frequently and plan my excursions but I couldn't have accomplished this, with adjustments for weather.

The whole concept was wonderful, staying on this nice boat, Gandalf, with its lovely staff, going by bike through fields of tulips, visiting Keukenhof, meeting friendly Dutch people.

The Keukenhoff gardens of course. Also learning about the engineering complexities of water management that make/made Holland what it is today and continues to be. Finally learning what windmills are all about. Our chef Caroline was beyond outstanding!

I enjoyed the experience of being on the boat and days of cycling. It was a nice size group of 22 so that you could get to know others. The crew were fantastic. We nailed the time of season for the tulips. The parade and gardens were stunning

Excellent bike and barge. The staff on teh Godefridus were excellent. Meals were great. Guide was great. Only reservation I would make is that this was touted as the "Tulip Tour" and short of one day there were no tulips to be seen.

The whole experience was absolutely amazing and wonderful. I wouldn’t change a thing!!! First, if you’re going to bike in a foreign country you can’t beat the Netherlands. The tour really took you through the most beautiful countryside and the lovely small Dutch towns away from the heavy tourist spots. Technically, the GPS guidance was needed and perfect. We’ll be back :)

The entire barge experience…including raw ambiance, the food presentation, the planning on behalf of the staff, and even the boat itself.

The best part was meeting others from different countries of the world and sharing an amazing experience together and enjoying stories from one another and learning the different cultures and dishes from all of them. Including the locals there in Croatia brought us home as family and we shared food and enjoyed each other's company. Will definitely be back ! So many islands to visit.

Visiting The Netherlands with my sister, as well as with the Tripsite founder, Hennie, made the trip extra-special. Hennie and her team shared many details of the areas we traveled through, which was greatly appreciated. The weather was perfect for cycling and sailing, both of which were enjoyed very much. The flowers are not to be missed: the flower parade - Keukenhof Gardens - acres of color throughout the countryside. The villages we passed through were lovely, as were the people we met. It was all wonderful! Thank you!

The most memorable part of the trip was seeing new and amazing places, biking along the Danube River was magnificent, meeting new people from all over the world, and feeling like we accomplished something and not feeling lazy and sitting around all day.

The trip was great. Very organized, staff was friendly and helpful. Food was good, biking was exceptional. Loved this trip!

The trip was everything we expected and more, a special shout out to the crew of the L’Estello who went above and beyond to make our trip such fun! Our guide Gabo was both knowledgeable and entertaining.

I’m a senior solo traveler and I found the group so warm and welcoming, even giving me a wonderful party with all the frills on my ‘special birthday’. The added bonus was having Hennie with us, telling us all kinds of wonderful stories about life and traditions in the Netherlands.
Our biking leader seemed always in a rush to get to the next stop. It would have been nice to enjoy the beauty of life in the many small towns we passed through or to learn a little about them. On the other bike trips I’ve taken the leader was also a guide ready to share lots of local information.

Definitely the guides & all of the crew were great. Both Alice & Thomas were brilliant & Sabrina was wonderful. Friendly, informative & helpful
