Bike Tour Reviews — 211 to 240 of 6255

A fantastic trip from one great city to another. The route was extremely well planned, making use of the vast network of cycleways in both countries (putting the UK to shame!). Although the surface quality was generally very good there some rough sections where the hybrid or gravel bikes came into their own. If you are used to a road style bike with drop handle bars I would definitely opt for the gravel bike as the best overall option as it handled the off-road sections well but was faster and lighter on good surfaces and hills.
The route is well planned to select interesting and historic towns for the overnight stops with the hotels always being close to the centres. A highlight is the quality of the support provided by both Tripsite beforehand and the guides during the tour. Lukas gave us a very detailed introduction and was always in touch throughout the journey to make sure everything was going well. The Tripsite App gave us lots of very useful information and the gps files made route following a breeze.
Thankyou team for a great experience

The cycling itself.
Meeting other cyclists.
Certain staff members approach were very appreciative and attentive and others not so much.
Meals were not great. Made mostly from frozen or highly processed food. Lack of availability of free cold drinking water for cyclists was a concern.

The beautiful scenery we biked through was unexpected and made the biking very enjoyable. And, of course the many animal sightings during our game drives. It was so amazing to be in the presence of such beautiful animals roaming free in the savanna. Along the way we were treated to some amazing places, hikes, and tours. Our guides took such great care of us and spoiled us w some delicious meals! Overall I’d say this tour was definitely a WINNER!

Biking was amazing, even in the wind, rain, and cloud. The trips were well planned, the tour leaders were helpful and experienced. Best part….all the fun people we met!

We were with the biking group of 20 plus three guides so our time on the boat was a bit limited (meals and sleeping mainly). The boat was enjoyable, clean, a positive vibe throughout the week. The cabins were spacious enough and well designed for storage. The staff was polite, knowledgeable, and seemed to work together well.

Our biking guides were absolutely excellent, both at individuals as well as with their communications and coordination. We will consider another trip with them in the future.

The first few days of bicycling around the Netherland were the best, after that it became a bit monotonous with lots of farm land.
The boat was great.
The food was ok but would benefit from more fresh vegetables and fruits and salty snacks after the day of biking.
The hospitality staff were a bit too rigid in applying rules for access to drinking water or coffee. We were refused a glass of drinking water because the kitchen was closed but there was water at the bar!!!
There should be more guides to help with issues when biking. At one point we had one guide for 60 people biking in two different routes! It was difficult navigating at times and would require more support.

One morning after walking for over an hour, a man out pruning his hedges invited us in for a cup of tea. It was delightful. We met some of the nicest people, from all over the globe on this trip. The scenery was stunningly beautiful. We don't always find the hiking "easy", but if a pair of 70 year olds can do it, it would certainly be easy for the younger ones. We like to walk independently, and thoroughly enjoyed the solitude of nature. Our drivers were delightful, and became our friends.

It’s challenging to pinpoint only one favorite. Overall: the floral fragrances, the reflections of pastel painted homes in the river, the stark contrast between fields of flowers and wheat vs cavernous mountains.

This family run adventure is the perfect way to explore the Aeolian Islands. The Sundail ship provides an intimate atmosphere to interact with the other guests during your week adventure.

Trip was great overall. De Holland was also very good, rooms, etc., were very good. Food was ok. On board staff seemed a bit rigid & could have been a bit more flexible. Tour guides were very good though there could have been at least one or two more guides for the number of people riding. Boat crew were very good. Overall, a great trip & would do it again & recommend it to others.

The ride was enjoyable. Easy to follow instructions and GPS. The hotels were very comfortable. My favorite was staying in the hotel that used to be a monastery. Thermal baths nearby, cute town and wonderful people. Even though we had some rain, to be expected in spring, the flowers were in bloom. Especially the red poppy's. The boat ride into Budapest gave you a wonderful panorama of thee city. Great trip overall

Using e-bikes made it easier. We had some detours which we should have being alerted. The hotels met our expectations. Biking through the bigger towns was difficult as cars don’t stop even though we had the right away.
Next time I want to try the bike and barge.

The crew were amazing! It was wonderful watching them as a well oiled team and they were always cheerful. Fabulous food, the ship was spotless and the guides were informative.

Budapest was the best city we visited during this tour. The room and food were great. The staff on the boat were very helpful and nice. The only thing I would recommend would be better bike route maps. The ones they give during the nightly presentation are not very accurate or detailed.

The diversity of the islands from one to another. Each was uniquely beautiful and different. Also the sailing between the islands was wonderful and so relaxing.

I loved the tour!! The landscapes are beautiful and the road was good and not very busy.
I had some problems with construction on the way and had to make some deviations from the GPS route, but nothing that I couldn't easily manage.
The team was super punctual with the delivery of the bikes and the delivery of the bags too!
I recommend this tour to everyone!!

Our biking group was treated so well from the time we stepped on the the boat until we left. Even though we were on a cruise with other travelers who were not biking, most of them from Germany, we were kept separate, even dining in an adjoining room. Our tour guide, Jeremy, was fantastic and made sure we understood each day's biking plans, staying in touch on WhatsApp with any changes, including the weather forecast. There was a nice balance between riding and relaxing on the boat.
The e-bikes we used were so comfortable to ride. The bike paths were mostly on flat trails or on designated bike paths on the road. No matter where we rode, Jeremy made sure we stayed together. He and his partner, Sonne, worked extremely well as a team and we were so impressed with their ability to plan ahead to provide us with incredible lunches, including wines and cheeses and desserts!
We have been on 13 biking trips through Tripsite and this was one of our favorites.

The maps and the app were very effective and helpful.
I was grateful there were people available when we needed help on the phone.
The locations to ck on bikes weren’t always open with people which made adjusting noises and seats more troublesome. One of the bikes seats wouldn’t hold up the position which made it difficult for the rider.
Schlogen was beautiful and peaceful.
I wish we had gotten there earlier to spend more time in that peaceful location.
I think it would be helpful for people to know the places they are visiting with must see sites and options for restaurants and when to allow more time for visits in the specific towns.

Hotels were good, but the one in Adragger had no hot shower and the electrical outlets didn’t work properly for charging.
The roads were clean and paved and made the riding extremely enjoyable.
Overall a beautiful journey.

Very well organised. Trails were super well signed, every little turn well indicated. Quiet bike trails along the river. The hotels were excellent and the pre-tour meeting with the organizers very useful. Highly recommend.

How our guide, Ronald, guided us into new discoveries each day, how he added info and history on special places, and how he kept us all on the road together.

The scenery was beautiful. Our guides, Horacio, Fabian and Sinan, without a doubt made this trip so memorable. They were so prepared everyday with our bikes ready to go, the planned rides with so much wonderful history and funny stories along the way. We had a delicious lunch prepared 1 on a lovely hillside one of the days! They looked out for our safety while making it fun. The boat was nice and clean and the food was very good.

Boat experience was excellent but the surprise was the cycling experience … beautiful vista views with spring wildflowers in bloom … just stunning. And our tour guides were fabulous … couldn’t think of a single negative about the trip. Highly recommend!

The beautiful landscape and communities we road through as well as expert guides. The crew of the Iris and the amenities were amazing also.

My wife and I rented e-bikes for the trip which allowed us more time to enjoy the sights and restaurants along the way! The routes chosen for us were perfect and navigation was easy with the information and GPS tracks provided through Tripsite. One highlight was the scenery as it transitioned though cities, pastoral country-side and the beaches of the Netherlands. Another highlight included the many people we chatted with along the cycle paths or at picnic tables as we ate our lunch/snacks - it's amazing what we had in common with the people we met along the way! Biking is definitely an adventure we will do again.

We had such a great time on our trip & thank Leslie for his leadership & organization to make it fantastic! We had a junior suite as we booked early & it was perfect! The food was very good, the ship very clean and all the staff were friendly & helpful.

The only 2 suggestions would be:
1 - the bike app needs to be upgraded or tweeked as people were having trouble downloading & our phones were dying to quick using the app. Also, everyone should get one for free.

2- please put water bottle holders on the bikes! I drink a lot of water & find it hard to put in blue holder & the water kept leaking (on my phone!)
Also, a nice touch would be souvenir water bottles from the boat owners :)

All in all, a super trip! Thank you

The biking! Be prepared for a quick visit to Budapest and Vienna. More time is needed at these stunning world class cities!

Replace tour director “Leslie” he talked to everyone as if they’re children

The aerial views of the beautiful blue waters of the Adriatic and the nighttime lights of the shoreline from the boat deck. The friendships we made and sharing the experience with old friends.

This trip was fantastic. The bikes were top notch and the luggage transfer went perfectly. We enjoyed the scenery and the out of the way routes, although some of the trails could have used grass trimming.

What an amazing trip . We lucked out with beautiful sunny, weather and two good friends as cycling mates. We thoroughly enjoyed cycling from Amsterdam to Bruges The guibo app along with paper information/maps and route numbers helped us successful stay in course. The distance travelled each day was doable and allowed us with time to enjoy leisurely lunches, explore churches/historical buildings and local markets.( great tips in info / map booklet provided) We even dipped our toes in the north sea at two of the sandy beaches,The category A hotel choices were great and centrally located in cities/ towns,. We especially enjoyed the historical hotels -Hotel Mondragòn and Hotel Mauritz . Kudus to the chef at hotel, Mauritz where we enjoyed the best rack of lamb ever.Although we only met three additional cyclists from the Dutch bike company, we had many opportunities to meet other travellers and locals who thoroughly enhanced our experience. Ending at the Velotel in Bruges also gave us the opportunity to meet other cyclists and learn about their trips and travels. We’re ready for our next cycling adventure . Thank you very much.
