Turkey Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 31

Wonderful group of participants. Supportive and flexible leaders and crew.
Should have had more explicit descriptions of level of difficulty of the ride.

This was our second experience doing something like this. My wife had an e-bike and I had a regular bike. The rides were not long, but the climbs were challenging. Some amazing views. We really enjoyed the boat, the crew, and the guides. I didn't have a bad meal. I got up every morning to enjoy our sail at dawn. Our guides were great. The crew was great and took excellent care of us and the boat. I think my highlight might have been the volcano at Nisyros or the day ending at Knidos.

Great holiday, boat was a good size, crew friendly. A few suggestions for improvements. It bit of hassle with helmets on that no one had the booking for it ?. A lot of smoking by the crew in view of guests. Change of port departure which cost money for guests as pre booked departures were further away.

August, Emma and the crew at the admiral were so professional, I requested vegan meals and they delivered excellent vegan meals!!! Plus their attention to details when it comes to bikes, thank you once again for all you did in our Sept 2025 trip

Took this boat from Bodrum with August and Emma as our guides. There were 15 couples and we all had a fabulous time! The rides were ambitious but fun because we had electric bikes (for those who wanted them) and we had a lot of nice stops. August was charming, funny, and informative. Emma was delightful! The answer was always yes for anything we needed. The food was better than ok and plenty of it. I would use this company again in a different area. Very, very fun!

The crew and guides were amazing. Rooms /beds comfortable. They gave just a blanket that was scratchy - so ask for another sheet. The AC would often be turned off around 3am which made it hot.

Food was great. Hanging out on the top of the boat on the cushions was lovely.

The sites we saw were really beautiful. The bike ride distance were totally doable. If you are heat sensitive- do not do in summer months.

The Tripsite staff were wonderful - Adem, Matin & Ibo were attentive, informative and made each day a real adventure. The Nevra Queen exceeded our expectations and was an amazing boat to be on for this trip! The bikes were very comfortable, the food was delicious and we learned so much about all of the sights we visited. I wasn't sure what to expect on this trip, but it was fabulous and we had a wonderful time!

The evening that we moored by a small rock island with a lighthouse and a hole through the rock. Then went for a short swim. Wish it could have been longer.

We were transferred to the Nevra Queen as the Milo-M had a myriad of issues. The Nevra was an excellent upgrade, comfortable and clean. The guides were superb, especially Edan. Edan was attentive, knowledgeable, kind, caring and fun to be with. This was my 6th Tripsite excursion, a good time was had by all. I would like to recommend that the Nevra, and and all your boats offer a hotel grade automatic espresso machine as requesting individual cups and a barista are time consuming and very inconvenient. Moreover the coffee is usually blah. Perhaps more important, the Nevra should absolutely add complete hand rails and non slip skid pads for all the steps.--- I slipped l on wet steps and broke 3 ribs. I wasn't careless. The steps were slippery from our swimming and sunscreen. Never the less I highly recommend this trip--on the Nevra.

Communication could have been a bit better ... this was my first endeavor and found some things a bit confusing

Our week on the Boreas, exploring the beautiful bays and coves of the southern coast of Turkey, was a highlight of our European trip. Our overall impression was how well organised the trip and cycling itinerary was. Every day on the bikes was different, involving stunning scenery, archaeological sites, a picnic lunch, swimming stops and some exhilarating descents. Our guides were super helpful and very accommodating. On the boat we had a very comfortable cabin, lost of space to relax on the decks and the standard of food and service was excellent. A very memorable, active and fun trip.

You probably don’t want to post this review. The bicycle routes and the guides were excellent. The guides gave excellent reviews and orientations. Unfortunately, the most memorable part will be the problem on first afternoon aboard the Boreas boat where the electrical plug-in, next to where were sitting, (from the shore power) sparked and started to smoke and smell like an electrical fire. We alerted the crew and they unplugged. The other Greek port authorities would not let us plug-in with the corrupt system, so we did not have air conditioning unless the excruciatingly loud generator was on. The loud shrill noise tortured several cabins so it was shut off to sleep. We did not have AC at night and people were hot and slept on the benches on the deck and above deck. The shower in our below deck cabin leaked so much that we were forced to take super short showers just so we wouldn’t flood our bathroom with gray gritty water leaching through the walls. Another boat in their fleet had an accident and our lead guide had to work with that problem, but he did an excellent job of taking care of us. My three star rating breakdown as such: The bike ride was a five star and the boat was a one star.

The Lycian Coast is absolutely beautiful. The water is the most gorgeous color of blue and so clear!
The bike riding was very hilly, so E-Bikes really made the difference.
The Admiral (ship) needs attention to detail. The crew worked day and night to correct issues: sewage smells, a/c, non functioning lights, plus much, much more. Until the boat is overhauled, I would not recommend it.
We also took the Extension to Istanbul. The Faros Hotel was amazingly helpful; truly service oriented!!

The beautiful places we visited. Tip: in spring and summer do not carry too many clothes or suitcases

I loved the trip!
beautiful places, good planning, great guide and wonderful group atmosphere. We get to know Greece in a unique and intimate way!
The Tripsite agency was impeccable with information and quick responses!

The Lycian Coast is an area of Turkey that abounds with the beautiful blooms of Oleander, roses, and pomegranate. This coastal area has spectacular landscapes everywhere one looks . The
bike trip was excellent in every way .The tour guide was exceptional, as well as the tour guide there were two leaders leading the group and a Van following in the rear . The crew on the boat were enthusiastic , friendly and helped out the passengers in anyway they could . Food was locally based , fresh and delicious ...This bike trip included a variety of activities not just biking ...hikes, exploring ruins , canyon walk ..the terrain made the availability of e bikes a must for our level of experience and age.

Wow! What a trip. The hotel in Bodrum, the El Vino recommended by Tripsite was a gem.
Adem, Metin, Dogukan and Omer catered to our every bicycle need. The attentive staff and accommodations on the Admiral were good. The views, the people and the itinerary made for an exceptional holiday. Highly recommended

BEST bike trip we have ever been on! (we have done 12 with various companies) Excellent organization and communication in the pre-trip. Each day was well-planned and paced for the group with lovely lunch stops. Delicious meals and comfortable accommodations for a boat trip, wonderful history and culture, magnificent bike routes with sweeping coastline vistas. Ali’s guiding experience and passion for his country completed this outstanding tour.

The biking routes with Allie’s history lessons and the jumping into the ocean after our day on the bikes!!

Loved jumping off the bost at the end of the day after riding in the heat. Pack thermal water bottles if going when its hot.

This tour was incredible from start to finish. The staff was a 10/10, the guide was a 10/10, Food was a 10/10, the outside of the boat was a 7/10, the inside of the boat was a 0/10. Awful. The rooms smelled of gas and mold, quite toxic. The wall was peeling off in the bathroom, no hot water most of the time, shower didn't drain. No mattress covers, no nice bedding - old and gross. Our room was near the generator so the smell of exhaust was terrible, unbearable and toxic the first 2 nights. You guys have to change this. It's not right you make people endure such terrible accommodation, it really takes away from the experience. We would love to recommend this, because everything else was so amazing - but in doing so it comes with a huge warning the rooms are gross and to prepare for the worst.

The captain backing up the ship to fit into a small space at the dock.

Beautiful scenery on some of the islands.

Most Memorable Part? Bicycling to the monastery on Patmos

Best Part? Getting to know new awesome people on the trip!

An amazing experience with great friends

Loved the various opportunities to swim in the sea, off the boat and at the beach. It was interesting to learn the unique history of each island we visited.

The rides were the most memorable, very enjoyable and scenic. However there were a few issues. Disappointed with the bikes, for example the rubber on the pedals were so worn that my shoes constantly slipped on the exposed metal of the pedals. One of the guides switched his pedals with my bike, the guides seemed aware of the problem and it was obvious this issue had been raised before. Our toilet was leaking when we first arrived on the boat and we had quite a bit of water on the floor of the bathroom. Also the generator of the boat was switched off at night making the rooms uncomfortably hot. I don't understand why shore power wasn't utilized.

Breathtaking views on hilltops on all the Greek islands. The narrow streets of Patmos and Lesos islands were fun and charming. The guides were knowledgeable and agendas fit the the groups ability. Thank you!

Most everything was perfect, especially our guide Lars for both trips. Only problem was lack of AC on boat so sleeping not easy.
