Slovakia Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 783

Super poor communications from Tripsite. Lack of timely information regarding changes in the itinerary did not allow us any opportunity to cancel or reschedule or discuss options. We contacted Tripsite many times and most Inquires to Tripsite staff and requests for manager to call did not get a response.

Crew on the boat tried to be positive and accommodate a new plan but the boat hadn’t been to the scheduled stops in months. Better communication from Tripsite would have enabled us to make changes or adjust. We were unable to boat to several stops and a 3 hour each way bus ride was simply not an acceptable option.

I would not use Tripsite again.

Although the Danube River was at a 100yr+ low and we were unable to traverse past Vienna, the cruise offered several alternative exploring options that satisfied my group.

Met some really nice people at out table that included us with their group.
All the staff were extremely kind and courteous.

Loved the biking that we did along the river's edge and into the small towns - serene and beautiful. The e-bikes were great, in good working order, and always powered-up and ready to go. The staff of the Lisabelle were wonderful and did a great job to make us feel well looked after and accommodated us very well when we were on the ship. Giving only three stars because, even though we knew the trip had changed before we left due to low water on the Danube, it was changed even more once we arrived, and we were not able to bike outside of Austria. While I appreciated that the company bussed people to Bratislava and Budapest to see these cities - it was not the experience I was hoping for, and required much more decision making than my brain wanted to make on a pre-planned tour. Would definitely go on another bike tour though!

The staff is wonderful, the food was excellent. The riding with such beautiful scenery was just amazing.
Little confusion with this whole trip. Water levels were low for sometime, and yet we were given 2 days to decide if we wanted to cancel or proceed. Overall had a great time, but communication between cruise director and passengers could definitely improve.

We had one glorious day of biking along the Danube. After that . . .
Due to low water the boat could not sail to Budapest. Then a breakdown caused further delay such that we could not get to Vienna as planned and the stop in Bratislava would be only 1/2 day. With this prospect we left the boat and made our own way, at our own expense to Vienna, Budapest and back to Munich.

Riding through the countryside and small Austrian communities was amazing. This was such a unique way to see the scenery. The MS Vivviene was very comfortable. The staff and food were great. Five course meals were exceptional.

The amazing friends we made (at our assigned dining table) as we rode through some amazing warm fall vistas.

We made the decision to leave the boat on the third morning after low water levels and then mechanical issues required the two nights of the trip (Vienna and Budapest to be scraped or cut to a minimal tour after hours long bus ride. The water level couldn’t be helped but the mechanical issues just added to the nonbiking onboard down time. The staff were lovely but it was no longer the trip we paid for.

The views between Krems and Melk were stunning. I highly recommend getting a guide as ours. Axel, was very knowledgeable.

The food on the barge was very plentiful and the staff was very cohesive and fun. I recommend the experience entirely.

Amazing Trip!

We enjoyed the bike ride. The description of the trip was very accurate. The accommodations were also as described.

Thank you for a great trip.

The biking was great. I enjoyed the biking. The routes were good and the scenery phenomenal!

There wasn't one memorable moment, the whole trip was amazing. We stayed in some beautiful hotels a mix of modern and quirky. The routes were brilliant and the connectivity of the cycle paths and smooth surfaces was second to none. The people were friendly, the whole route was so pro cycling and cycle friendly there were no issues with traffic. The scenery was stunning and changed as we progressed through the tour. The recommended things to see were always interesting and the towns we stayed in were beautiful. The regional food was lovely, and the trip was superbly organised, we are now planning our next adventure

I thoroughly enjoyed riding the electric bike along the bike paths next to the Danube when there were no cars on the path.

The itinerary, the boat, the bicycles were all fantastic. The biking routes were great and took place on mostly paved pathways, with explanations and directions given to the group either in the morning or evening each day. The electric cycles were awesome and charged and ready to go each morning. The food was good and the drinks were reasonable priced. The staff were kind, especially those working in the dining room. The rooms were clean and had a surprising amount of area to store luggage and gear. We loved watching the scenery and taking pictures from the balcony of our room. We also enjoyed watching the boat maneuver from the top deck, the spa tub up there was never quite hot enough to use. While we were sad not to be able to explore our full journey due to low water levels on the Danube, the crew made every effort to find alternate excursions in it's place. It was a good trip.

Biking through the vineyards and little towns in Austria Simply spectacular views and see the town up close made the trip one to remember

Good cycling route to start with between to great cities! Easy mostly off road cycle paths in parts along Danube but mainly via countryside, small villages, sunflower fields. Heatwave in early August was not part of plan so early starts and plenty of water! Sandi was excellent support. Comfortable bikes and great phone app to help stay on route! Nice hotels too nesf routes. We personally loved Gyor and Eztegorm. Would use Tripsite again. Good arrangements, good support and info when we were preplanning trip.

Beautiful scenery and well organized. Going thru the small towns was lovely. Learning the history of the area was nice. Sometimes it was hard to know where to park bikes in small villages .

The trip was excellent. The cycling was just the right amount each day with beautiful scenery along the way. The food was delicious and plentiful. The staff was superb - very professional and helpful. We had an awesome time!

The reason I didn't give a two-star is because the customer service of Tripsite was very responsive and I liked them. The service on boat Primadonna was okay or a thumb down. My husband and I caught a flu on the way flying to Germany so we asked to sit away from other passengers, the waiter did arrange that but then he often forgot to serve us (sigh). Because of the water level was low so they changed itinerary so many times, I could understand but was not pleased. The bus tour in Vienna was not impressed. The communication on boat was mainly in German and the English briefings were not communicated well. If they want more American customers, they should sharpen up their staff's English.

Every stop was memorable. All went so smooth even with a few inexperienced bikers. Austria was the most beautiful

We weren’t able to cruise to Bratislava or Budapest because of low waster. However, the crew worked extra hard to make sure we had a great experience. The cycling was great. The food and accommodations exceeded my expectations.

This was the first time my husband and I did a trip like this and we are not experienced riders. We traveled with a group of 16 from Pittsburgh PA USA and had a blast! This is a beautiful, easy ride along the Danube. And even though the river level prohibited us from biking to Bratislava and Budapest we were given the option to go to each city by bus. We enjoyed exploring the towns along the bike paths and all of the time we had in Vienna. The crew on the Vivienne were outstanding! Providing what we needed without having to ask as they got to know us. We appreciated all of the tips that were provided each day for our tours and excursions. Thank you for giving us such a memorable trip!

Great mix of people from so many different countries. The food was delicious, but there was way too much of it. I felt very wasteful. Especially the first night, a 9 course meal starting at 8:00pm was way too much.

Great new friends. Good food. Monika and Uwe were great hosts.

The entire cruise was outstanding. From the whole crew to the food we ate, everything was great. The bike trips were awesome too. Special shoutout to all involved with doing our laundry since we unfortunately did most of the cruise with limited clothing due to lost luggage. We had a group of ten on the ship and everyone had a great time. Thank you.

We really enjoyed our boat and bike tour. We were however disappointed that we didn’t get to Bratislava and Budapest but was not the fault of Tripsite or the Primadonna. Water levels were just too low. My only complaint about the tour is that water was not included with dinner.

This was a memorable tour specially the first part of the tour Prague Vienna
The roads and scenery was incredible, the logistics, hotels and cycle paths were unvelievable
Most of the time between cedar forests and beautiful castels
Perhaps one of he best trips in my life and I've done a lot
Congratulations to the operators, since everything was perfect and I would like to hear more about Cheq republic Eslovaquia and Austria
Special thanks for this superb trip

The cruise director had very poor communication with the English speaking guests on the tour. People were lost and the navigation was sometimes tough to follow.
