The terrific barge is owned by a Dutch family and the entire crew was Dutch. That was a plus, they were all excellent and perhaps this factor brought in several other English speaking mountain, e.g. UK, New Zealand and Australia.. This trip surpassed our expectations!

Our bike tour guides, Brian and Diede, were incredible - we learned so much about the local culture, saw beautiful scenery including lush farmland, quaint villages and bustling cities. Daily briefings prepared us for what was to come and gave us an opportunity to ask questions. I am not an experienced cyclist but with the guides assistance I was quickly comfortable riding with the group and so enjoyed every moment. The boat and our suite were clean and comfortable, the crew was very friendly and helpful, there were always healthy food options and delicious meals. Instead of riding a bike, if one wanted to stay on the boat and watch the beautiful scenery go by, read a book, write in a journal, etc., that was always an option. This trip is a memory I will treasure forever.

Excelent trip, well prepare and when we had a problem with the bikes we recieved inmediat assistance .We enjoy the trip very mucha and everithing went well. Only coment: we had a dinner included in Sarlat and the restaurant try to ignore that was prepaid. At the end we pay half to avoid a bad moment

From top to bottom, everything was absolutely seamless. Communication was prompt throughout, our luggage transfer was precise and without issue, and the routes were masterfully crafted. We are already planning oiur next trip with Tripsite.

Beautiful bike rides through fields of sunflowers and ripening wheat, coffee stops in lovely little villages, wonderful meals prepared by chef Frank, great support leadership and witty information by guides: Wim and Harold, great navigation by captain Erik and staff Milton and Moh.

We had a wonderful trip! The app worked very well while we were on the route. The one issue was it had a hard time mapping to the route. We looked at the possible locations to visit the night before to decide how we wanted to spend our time each day. We loved going to the art museum and eating at Bernhard's on the first day, but the Stift Engelszell monastery was a bit of a disappointment (but the cake was yummy). We never needed to ask for help. Linz was fun, loved having some time there. The Museum Lauriacum in Enns was fascinating and climbing the tower was worth it. Going to Wallsee was not worth it, a very steep hill to sit in a park. Greinburg castle did not take very long, but was fun and interesting. The Melk Abbey was beautiful, wished it wasn't raining so we could spend more time in the gardens. The wine tasting in Spitz was wonderful and I am so glad that the tour included it! We would not have planned it ourselves, and it was a great part of our trip through wine country. We did the hike in Durnstein and loved it! And Tulln was more interesting that we expected, with the tour of the theater. Overall, our bike trip was great and a highlight of our overall Central Europe adventure!

The entire the trip was great! the routes, the towns, hotels, everything excellent!

The Vivienne was very clean, and for a smaller river boat, it felt very spacious. Our cabin was very comfortable with plenty of storage. The crew, and food were also great! We opted to have a guide ( Hamish Lucas) and he was exceptional! We didn't have to worry about the route and Hamish gave us so much history. Highly recommend Hamish. Loved all the bike rides through historic cities, small town and countryside.

The service on board was superb, all staff was extremely helpful and kind. Information regarding the biking routes was very detailed and precise - we appreciated Leslie's markings along the way!

Stunning scenery, private beaches, award-winning locations, an excellent variety of lodging, really fun less traveled routing, fantastic fuel from Portuguese food! This trip is very well designed and the hybrid Bikes provided did an excellent job from cobblestones to trails to roads to sand. Spot on descriptions of trail conditions, and options for what you would want to tackle or experience. This area is so rich in opportunity. Do not hesitate to stay extra days at any interesting locations or go off route to a special beach or site of interest. We did use WhatsApp and had excellent support even when we were just a little bit confused. Ride with GPS makes navigating so efficient. This trip is a pleasure with so many wonderful places to stop and relax, take pictures experience this stunning coastal area. Frankly, the Bicycle touring was superior to driving for so many reasons and for so many flowers, gardens, cute cats and photos. This Portuguese tour company again did an excellent job in every aspect of this tour.

We loved the guided bike rides, fabulous scenery and an organized attentive guide, thanks Dick.
The food was amazing and plentiful. We were very well looked after by our chef, Lucie.
We were lucky to have a small group, which meant we were individually well looked after by the crew of 4. Thanks also to our experienced Captain, Chiel and Joanna who ensured all our needs were met.

A fantastic trip! Incredible views! Easy to navigate using the app. Beautiful hotels with excellent service! I loved it—a great first experience!

Wonderful experience! Everyone on board was courteous and helpful. Tour guides kept us well informed.

The mountain rides and time next to the Rur River were absolutely amazing! Even during an unexpected heatwave we found relief in the shady mountains and cool river.

This trip was fantastic, riding along beautiful coastlines, through forests and agricultural areas and small towns. Accommodations were excellent! We did the 13 day trip but stayed an extra night in two places to break up the ride and do a little more exploring, which I recommend. The local team were very supportive. We used e-bikes and they were in very good condition. Highly recommend this trip!

Well organized … good customer service from Tripsite … great group of new friends … guides Ivan and Leah were well informed and organized, they were great adding yo overall experience … important to note added expenses of local taxes, fuel surcharge and bar bill all need to be paid in cash euros

The trip on Magnifique IV was a great and memorable experience. The crew and tour guides couldn't have done a better job of managing our group and the record setting heat of the first three days of our trip. The boat accommodations were comfortable with a surprisingly large bathroom. The food prepared for us by chef Doychen was nothing short of fantastic.
Overall, the value for the expense exceeded my expectations.

This was a great tour. We really enjoyed the trip. We are a fit couple in our 60's and this was our first bike tour. While the milage may sound daunting--averaging closer to 30 miles per day-- the ride is genreally flat and on well maintained bike paths. There are some hills and we had to walk the bikes now and again, but ultimately the ride was very do-able.

In general, expect to spend about 4 hours in the saddle each day.

The day in Hřensko was a real highlight, a short ride to get there, and a great hike in the national park.

Pirna, outside of Dresden, is a lovely small town--worth spending much of the day in, even if it means arriving in Dresden a bit late.

Tripsite did a great job helping us through the initial booking and answering questions before we started our ride.

This was a really fun and beautiful way to see small towns through the Elbe river valley, a chance to slow down and see ap a part of the world the many people just zoom past on the train.

The tour guides were awesome and the boat was fantastic. I was not expecting an executive chef to feed us each day. This was a great vacation where I didn't have to worry about one thing. The crew of the Magnifique IV pampered us, and they were very friendly.
The bike riding was my favorite part and seeing the countryside of both countries.

Great staff, great food, and most importantly great people. The best part of tours like this are the people that you meet from all over the world. This is my second boat and cycle trip, and both times I have created lasting connections with others on the tour. I will definitely be doing another similar tour in another new location down the road.

We enjoyed being with people from four different countries. The sights were beautiful! The food on the San Snova was absolutely delicious! Being able to switch from a regular bike to an e-bike one day was extremely helpful. We are still in touch with our tour group and hope to do another tour in the near future!

Arriving in Santiago and seeing the amazing hotel booked. Was also cool following the guide through the villages.

The cycling was phenomenal: beautiful scenery, wonderful paved designated cycling paths. Our guides were friendly, experienced, just excellent. Our boat, the Magnifique X was beautiful and very comfortable and the excellent staff prepared delicious food and took great care of us.
Definitely one of our best bike and boat trips - this was #9! Hopefully more to come!

Cycling along the Danube in the forests was amazing. Staff engaged the guests and inspired us to visit historic sites. Food was splendid.

The cycling infrastructure was fabulous. It was lovely to be able to ride through differing landscapes, not only along the coastline but further inland where we could enjoy the farms and their beautiful gardens and canals. We upgraded our accommodations and they were beautiful, particularly our hotel in Gouda. Our e-bikes were also a lot of fun. In the past, we usually chose to ride with normal bikes, but the e-bikes allowed us to get to our destination earlier so that we could explore. This is our fourth tour with Tripsite and we love planning with them as they are always very supportive and flexible. Thank you for an amazing trip.

Excellent accommodations. Food was elegant. Staff professional and kind

This tour was spectacular, but yes a bit challenging. Even with e-bikes, there were a few 10% grade climbs that some of us had to walk up. We loved the variation of the routes (quiet roads, bike lanes, gravel/dirt paths) and scenery (lakes, rivers small towns). We especially enjoyed the small towns of Zug and Einsiedeln. The hotels were fine, with excellent breakfasts. You should know that only 2 of the 7 hotels had AC, and of the 5 that didn't, only 2 had fans. This was challenging during a heat wave. I do understand that this is Europe and it wasn't that big a deal. My other feedback is that the GPX routes occasionally did not match the information in the literature given. Day 5 of biking from Einsiedeln to Zug was especially problematic and required some rerouting on our part. Please redo these GPX files.

Denmark is a nice country to visit. Most individuals working in the hospitality industry speak English which makes it easy to travel around the country as a tourist. Also, the Danish people are polite and pleasant. The five-day bicycle tour was well-planned with good service at the beginning and the end of the tour. The route was not difficult and not too long. The GPS map on the app made navigation quite easy. The route passed many interesting towns and attractions. The hotels along the route were high-quality hotels. Very nice bicycle trip!
One suggestion to improve the trip would be to select hotels near the center of town instead of away from town. The hotels near Elsingor and Roskilde were 4 km from the center of those towns which made it difficult to eat dinner in those towns. Moreover there were no restaurants or bars near those hotels and, as such, the travelers are compelled to eat at the designated hotels.

The trip overall was excellent! The professionalism and organization of the cycling guides was first rate. The bicycles were in excellent shape and very well suited to this trip. The food on board was excellent and the bar/wait staff were first rate and very professional. The tour guides provided for the city walking tours were excellent.

My comments are as follows:

when anchoring for a swim, there should be a life preserver/throwing equipment to assist swimmers who may be in distress. Also, I would recommend ensuring that guests understand if there is a strong current at a swimming location.

As there was gravel involved, and some technical sections, I think some of the guests might benefit from a little cycling lesson, to assist them riding in the gravel properly and understanding the appropriate gear to be in for these conditions. Along the lines of a group ski lesson that you might take at a ski resort, for a bit of a refresher.

Also, I think it would be helpful. If the tipping directions were a little more clear, as the direction we received from our trip preparation package was for a lump sum tip, and when we were on board, we were told there would be two envelopes, provided , one to tip the staff on the boat, and one for the cycling guides.
