5 Star Bike Tour Reviews — 211 to 240 of 4986

This was our 5th Tripsite experience!
We loved Bruges to Amsterdam!
The scenery was great because the bike trails offered that. The people we encountered in Holland & Bruges were all very friendly & informative if we had any questions.
I celebrated my 70th birthday the last day of our trip in Amsterdam! A great way to enter my 70th year! We are looking forward to planning our next trip with Tripsite … they have never failed with any of our beautiful bike trip experiences!

Quite an amazing trip. Such beautiful sites each day. Each of the islands was different treasure of beauty. The employees were sitting helpful and pleasant to be with.

Trip was wonderful. Tour guides and the staff on the Fluvius were excellent. Unfortunate part was the AC on the ship was not functioning.

The tour director and the entire staff onboard the Vivienne were outstanding, so welcoming, warm and helpful, as well as very professional. The boat facilities are great, very clean and well maintained. The Danube River is beautiful, and the bike route is top notch. Very well marked, lovely countryside and small towns. Exceychoise of stopping points.

Without a doubt, biking around the lake’s scenic beauty was an everyday treat. We met many wonderful and kind people at the hotels, along the way, strangers who treated us as family explaining customs, giving directions, and friendly hospitality.
Helpful hints: learn how to use Komoto gps app, bring a bicycle mirror (almost no one had but it really would have helped in traffic).
The staff of Tripsite were incredible. Before and during the ride, they were supportive, found answers to our questions, and were always eager to find help and get back to us. They were a blessing throughout. Thank you!!!!

Bike rides and fabulous views and sites as we toured the islands

This bike and boat tour was excellent. We chose a guide and ebikes for the biking portion which made us really enjoy the day as we did not have to worry about getting lost and/or making it back to the boat on time.
The ship itself was smaller, so you got to know people and felt like a big family.
The service from meals, to housrkeeping to daily tour briefings was top notch.
This was our first bike and boat tour and we would definately do it again.

I loved this trip. It was a perfect balance of biking to see the countryside and time to see the port cities. The ship had under 100 passengers so it felt comfortable and cozy. The staff was excellent.

Good cycling, food, staff and experience. What fun to meet and make friends with our neighbors from Canada and Europe.

The route was absolutely beautiful and the pace was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful, accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the meals are very good.

All of the staff were excellent but Sylvia was a highlight! I liked how everyone pitched in during meals.

The people! We had 16 others, all of whom we enjoyed. Appreciated the efforts to help us get to know each other. Also enjoyed the food, the friendliness of staff, the route, the stops... the whole experience!

The two guides emma and august were charming and helpful. All the staff were attentive. The food was delicious. The rooms small and well organized. I enjoyed sailing on the beautiful boat. It was hotter than usual for cycling but the scenery was spectacular.

The culmination of this trip was when our guide brought us high up onto the hillside, on our second to last day, and as we descended, we could see every town and island we had just cycled. It was very moving to look down on the geography of the area, the water ways, the islands, the bridges and cliffs.

Loved the Balsamic and Parmesan tours! The rides were lovely, peaceful and scenic and the food and wines were fabulous. We loved our ride and accommodations. The Agriturismo La Razza was especially special. Not to be missed was the Ristorante La Grattugia. The fillet of beef with balsamic was to die for.

biking ,food and the dutch are the best .thanks and the apple pie the best

The professionalism and compradore amount the entire crew was refreshing. Knowledge of individual accountabilities and task focus were outstanding…as a well- oiled machine!

This was my ninth bike / barge trip and I have enjoyed all of them, but this one was my favorite thanks to the dedicated crew which worked hard to ensure the success of the trip. Diana, Mickey, Virginia and Jeoffrey were all top notch.

An incredible cycling journey along the Danube, with breathtaking landscapes and charming towns at every stage. The route was spectacular from start to finish, combining nature, culture, and unforgettable views. Everything was perfectly organized, making the entire experience seamless and enjoyable.

The trip was a wonderful journey through several amazing Dutch towns. The riding was as advertised through beautiful countryside and towns. The barge, while having a few small mechanical issues, was a good home for the week. The crew was friendly and accommodating. Lukas, the chef, provided exception al meals enjoyed by all.

I look forward to my next adventure.

It’s hard to pick one thing that was my favorite part. The crew (Jerome, Juju and Lucas) on our boat were awesome as was our guide, Klaas. Klaas did a great job of showing us beautiful sites, and taking us on very interesting routes. I loved biking through forests, by fields of sheep, horses and cows, traversing dikes with great views, and biking and walking in all the charming little towns. The boat was very comfortable and the food was great. Lucas made us delicious dinners every night. I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised because we only had 6 in our group, and that worked out to be a huge bonus. My e-bike worked great and I loved riding it. Overall, I’d give the trip 3 thumbs up!

We had a great time. The alternate activity days provided a nice break from biking. All the towns we stayed in were interesting and this was a perfect activity for our family. Our youngest was 12, and that was the perfect age - wouldnt want to do much younger than that. Highly recommend!

Our guides, Dharma and Petra were the best. They gave clear orientation talks each day, kept us all safe, introduced us to amazing vistas, towns and villages. Best of all, they were FUN and facilitated a group of strangers to become a bicycling TEAM !
Also, the crew on the boat were wonderful. Roko, Domagoj, Jure, Darko (our waiter and Batman) Sonja and Miroslav( the chefs ) and Edi, the Captain.

We really enjoyed the tour! The countryside, - the river and the entire experience was excellent.
I fell off my bike in one location and then had problems with the brakes on my bike.
The support team was quickly available for us and offered helpful support from a very remote location! This was very much appreciated.
We did a self guided bicycle tour, - using Ride with GPS' and also a paper copy of the directions. Even so, - we experienced some confusion in Bad Schandau.

All in all, - we would highly recommend this tour for all rider abilities.

This was an outstanding trip that we completed in early June. The scenery was beautiful, the staff was outstanding, and the accommodations were great. The food was unbelievable and totally unexpected from the standpoint of local, delicious, preparation and presentation; including outstanding dishes for vegetarian and gluten free/non dairy diets. The docking proximity for easy access to Venice was amazing as were the stops along the way. Give this trip serious consideration.

The crew was fun and professional. The food was amazing. We had a couple of people in our group of 18 that had dietary restrictions, but they went to great lengths to provide options. The bar/wine system is fair and fairly priced. The bikes are top notch, and the itinerary has many little extras, better than most.

Of the many excellent hikes available in Madiera,
This tour manages to curate some of the best. The accommodations happen to be some of the best too from those must do beachfronts to the highly regarded Castanheiro hotel in Funchal. So basically it’s a pretty classy tour package. Now, for the hardline: especially for the risk adverse Americans, who might be reading this. These hikes are only for experienced hikers. Experience means having strong enough joints for very long, extremely steep and very narrow trails over potentially lethal drop offs. We have Vibram soled, lightweight hiking shoes to navigate the stones and steps and narrow causeways where a slip is not an option. We use a carbide tip quality hiking pole. We were absolutely dependent on the Ride with GPS app when the fog closed in on the trails on the high mountain. With that in mind, we found these well marked routes and trails to be some of the most beautiful in the world. Lush with flowers in early June, punctuated by waterfalls adjacent to moss clad rock walls, those drop offs give breathtaking views. The logistics are wonderful to have a ride to the trailhead where parking can become impossible. The guide book was decent yet yet not too detailed and allowed for some fun surprises. But, you must follow the warnings about trail closures to avoid hefty fines and fatalities. We did discover that it was best on the very last day to hike from the overlook point up to the village to the restaurant O Forno, and the coffee shop Legal Gato for what may have been the best cup of coffee we ever had anywhere in the world. The taxi driver was happy to pick us up from there instead of the trailhead. We suggest you utilize these drivers for post hiking activities, such as this when you can.
Funchal is fantastic and worth spending additional time thereafter this tour. From Funchal, we suggest the Pico to Pico Trail for the most hard-core hikers or taking the ferry to Porto Santo for beach R&R, and biking and hiking all over this smaller island. The taxis are fabulous. Bus system easy. Don’t hire a car. It’s ‘impossible’ to drive and park on these islands. Too many bad drivers already.

Excellent guides, lots of information and history. Beautiful biking, e bikes wonderful

The fantastic cycling set up in Holland and a really comfortable cabin
