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.

Very much enjoyed riding and seeing all the seaside towns and stops as we rode. Just beautiful!

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.

This trip was a great experience! This was not a luxury tour, but it was a tour for those of us who like a little adventure and to feel like a part of the host country. The slower pace of the tour allows one to really experience the culture and lifestyle of Norway and Sweden. This is a trip for people who are ok with last minute changes to the itinerary, weather unpredictability and not always knowing what will happen next!

Un general the castles we visited and the ride the last day was the best one in terms is the mix of castles and view a round the road.
On data 2-3 it was a little bit too “underpopulated”, not mucho too see for a big part of the day.. and we experienced lot of wind!

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.

We are quite experienced cyclists & have completed several European self-guided bike tours in the past.
We found this tour confusing with poorly marked and ambiguous bike trails. Suggest that using a GPS be mandatory. We got lost at least once every day!
Many bike lanes are on busy highways directly adjacent to cars going 80 km/hour, especially around cities. A bit unnerving to say the least.
Would remind travellers that in Germany most shops are closed on Sundays & many on Mondays too.
Not my favourite trip.

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.

Biking the Wachou valley, outside Vienna. It was an incredible ride, with great places to stop along the way. The trip was great, the crew handled all those bikes great. Would have liked more time in some of the cities, and more diet options.
But, that’s being kinda picky, it was a great trip and would recommend.

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!

Unfortunately, our flight was cancelled at the last minute, and we missed the first day riding on our tour. However
Sophie came to the rescue and was able to get our bikes delivered to the second hotel, and we were able to ride and view the fabulous Chateau Chambord. We took advantage of booking the meals at each destination. Sophie's choices of restaurants in each town were top notch and within walking distance of the hotel. We met a different group of riders each day on the trail from England, Germany, Canda and Denmark each group bonded together and road in a pack. this is our 4th tour with Tripsite, but our first with baggage pick up which we were a little hesitant about, however the execution was excellent which now gives up a lager selection of trips for our next adventure!

The bike riding was the most enjoyable part for me. The ride to Amsterdam was great. As was the stop by the beach on the way to Veere. Our Guide, Mike was so kind to provide us with evening tours in the beautiful small dutch towns. our chef Paolo was great with delicious dinners each evening. And the captain Paul was excellent and added a touch of humor to the trip.

The long stretches of quiet backroads with no traffic, among the greenery, with a slight breeze.

scenery
great paths
food
The staff was very friendly and helpful

The ship and crew were top notch!! Wonderful experience. Our chef, Steven, came out at breakfast asking us for our meal choice that evening. He was an excellent cook. Gourmet food. Beautiful presentation and delicious. So nice being on smaller ship with only 35 passengers. The owner was our captain the last 5 days of the cruise. Very hospitable. Would highly recommend.

Really loved the countryside the food on the barge
And the care the staff took in a difficult situation that wasn't of their doing.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful.

Cycling through villages in Belgium and Netherlands.
