  Andela Lora Kvarner Bay E-Bike & Boat
Croatia

The trip was well- organized. A detailed itinerary was sent prior to boarding and it provided adequate information re: what to expect on a daily basis and what equipment was required. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. The staff on board the boat were also friendly and responded quickly to requests. The food was great with adequate portions for all. The bikes were well taken care of and in good shape. Prior to the trip, staff from TripSite provided quick responses to questions. You could easily do this trip on a normal bike if in good physical shape. The optional guided tours at various ports were informative and added value to the trip. There was enough downtime each day as we travelled to new ports.

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

What a way to experience Portugal! Riding along the spectacular coastline, through farmlands, vineyards, small villages, visiting historic attractions and so much more. Seafood and Portuguese pastries were daily treats. Some parts of the tour were challenging with cobblestones, rough trails, and many long hills to climb. This was offset with lovely cycling paths through forests and along the coast. We loved the e-bikes and accommodations arranged for us were first class. Our only disappointment was that we could not spend more time exploring the towns and the beautiful beaches along the way.

Provence - Wilderness of Camargue
France

We were extremely unhappy with this trip. We were told by the bike/barge crew that Tripsite subcontracted our Avignon barge/bike trip with another company. Unfortunately, Tripsite didn't inform us of this change. The bike/barge trip we signed up for was advertised as "Easy to Moderate". The bike tour was NOT Easy to Moderate. In fact, our bike tour leader advised us that this trip was rated as "Moderate to Difficult". As a result, we weren't able to ride everyday due to the difficulty of the terrain. The barge we stayed on was extremely humid and damp. The bedsheets, towels and floor in our room were constantly damp even with running the AC all day and night. Every morning, there was standing water on the floor of our room. We had to constantly mop up the water on our room's floor--even with the AC continuously running. Very disappointed with this trip!

  Magnifique IV Bruges to Amsterdam
Belgium, Netherlands

This trip fulfilled our expectations wonderfully. The guides were great, kept us moving, gave interesting history at stops along the route and always were helpful and friendly. The food was first class and the suite was fine. One suggestion - bring a Tupperware type dish to put your lunch (sandwich, cheese, olives etc) into. You’ll be very grateful you did!

  Iris Metz to Cochem
France, Luxembourg, Germany

We have so many great memories of our trip that it is hard to pin down an "absolute favorite". Here are some of our best and most favorites memories, in no particular order of importance! The staff was so welcoming and helpful, we felt connected to all of them right from the start! The bike riding was fantastic--the ease of the e bikes, to the scenery, and then the visits at the historical sites such as the Roman mosaic, the Puerta Nigra, and the bunker from WWI in the farmer's field, we thought we had the best guides and were very well informed about the details of our day. Our accommodations aboard the Iris were comfortable, clean and well maintained. The other passengers were a lot of fun, and we felt comfortable spending time with each group. I cannot say enough about the food! We all looked forward to our excellent dinner after a long day of cycling, and the breakfasts were filling and tasty, every time! One day, after a 35-mile ride, some of the other passengers Read More

Segovia’s Medieval Villages
Spain

I did the Segovia solo tour in October this year 2024. The weather was a lot colder than I had expected. It was 40 degrees F, raining hard and windy at the start of the tour. It warmed up as I went through the week to high 50's. I started in Segovia and loved the town and scenery. The roads were mainly quiet, country roads with beautiful views. Finding somewhere to have lunch was often a challenge as I cycled through the sleepy empty towns. The hotels I stayed at were mainly quaint and memorable all but one in Sepulveda called Arco. The hotel had treated the wood on the ceiling in the room with a product that smelt like mothballs and it was overwhelming to the point I got a sore throat and had to sleep with the door to he balcony open all night to avoid the toxic fumes.

The delivery of my suitcase from one hotel to the next went smoothly and the e bike, GPS and helmet were great.

I loved the routes and would highly recommend this tour.

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

Hello, Just a comment about the hotel in Porto. Most of us on the tour are two people staying together. This is usually two women but could be two men or a man and a woman who are only friends. The hotel in Porto was a room divided into a shower and toilet using glass partians. You can see everything and hear everything. Not good if you and your roomy are not in a relationship. But, the hotel was very close to the partner office and otherwise was good.

Porto hotel was only suitable for husband and wife.

Loved the route- everything from back country trails to highways.

  Magnifique I Metz to Cochem
France, Luxembourg, Germany

I loved riding through the vineyards at harvest. The ride was mostly along the river and not on roads! The guides and hostess personnel were the best! So helpful and friendly, They were cheerful and fun every day. I must admit this trip was a bit of a disappointment: 1. Bikes were not very good--It is a bike trip (the bikes must work!). 2. Our room had recently flooded and it smelled of mold and mildew. 3. I had requested a vegan diet and they did not let me know they could not accommodate this request until I was already in Europe. The cook tried, but he didn't understand the difference between vegan and gluten free. I took another tour in Italy and it had none of these issues, so I would like to give Tripsite another chance. Spend money on bikes, it is important. I am a plant-based dietitian and published author--I would be happy to consult with your cooks to assist them in making quick and easy delicious vegan meals.

  Linda Kvarner Bay
Croatia

We enjoyed this tour so much! We were one of the last tours of the season, late September, which ended up being the perfect time to go as the weather was not too hot. It was ideal for cycling. It was less ideal for swimming, but we still managed to have a few opportunities for water fun. We also ended up with a really fun group of people on our boat, so that definitely added to our enjoyment. Ebikes were a huge plus for the long climbs. Those on regular bikes in our group were pretty wiped out each day. We had two guides, Mirta and Kristopher, and they were excellent! They gave us good information about each stop. The boat was an older, wooden boat, but the rooms were comfortable the rooftop deck was a huge plus! Nearly everyone we encountered spoke English and most signs with in both English and Croatian. It was a very easy country to get around in and experiencing some of the islands by boat and bike was a spectacular way to go!

Every part of our trip was Enjoyable! The bikes were comfortable and easy to use, the rides were not too strenuous but rather “ a good day on a bike”.

I could have turned around on the last day and started Another Trip! Thank you to our Wonderful Crew on the Magnifique I!!!!

Dalmatian Coast from Split to Dubrovnik
Croatia

Split, the hikes on Island Brad and Hvar Island were the most memorable. Our briefing in Split was comprehensive with well organized materials. Villa Toni was wonderful and our host was exceptional in customer service. Villa Nora was nicely located and the hosts were welcoming. Did not enjoy the entire Korcula experience - parts of the hike were okay but some along a major road were not. Nothing to see or do in Korcula. Hotel Liburna was okay - best part was the breakfast. We skipped Day 6 of our itinerary because the travel and hiking seemed uninteresting. Hotel Lapad in Dubrovnik was amazing and wonderfully located away from the touristed areas. Dubrovnik was very expensive and Old Town was jammed with cruise tourists. There were several stop gaps and wait times on this itinerary which were frustrating to us.

  Iris Aschaffenburg to Cochem
Germany

This was our 8th bike & boat tour with Tripsite and once again it was an outstanding trip. It's difficult to pick a favorite since each one has it's own highlights and we always love to embrace the differences but this one really excelled in every category.

The route - A perfect mix of paved dedicated trails along the 3 rivers, winding streets through classic little medieval towns and a few stretches though bustling cities like Frankfurt. We probably went through a few more small towns and villages than on some of our other trips which was a real plus. We generally had time to stop and look around and sample some local goodies. A highlight was riding through the woods surrounding the Frankfurt airport and stopping to visit the Zeppelin Museum, fascinating history and a lot of exhibits focusing on the Hindenburg. We averaged 26 miles a day on generally level paths. We opted for the e-bikes - we could have done OK without them but when we hit a bit of a climb at the Read More

Merzig to Nancy
Germany, Luxembourg, France

Our time on the Merlijn was fabulous! Coen and Cristina, the ship's owners, are the absolute best as was the crew. Everything from the accommodations, the food, the tours and the biking was top notch. We especially enjoyed the bike helmets that allowed us to listen to our guide provide guidance as well as historical information on our rides. We are already looking forward to choosing another tour aboard the Merlijn.

Andalusia - Seville to Granada
Spain

I enjoyed the last day of the bike trip going into Granada... the scenery was very enjoyable with the reservoirs and the forests and winding roads. They other part of the trip was also nicebut you can only admire sooo many Olive trees! I enjoyed all the castle views. I think our tour van driver, Steve Watson, did an excellent job of telling us all about the country, the history,, great sites to look for and good places to eat.

Porto to Lisbon
Portugal

The trip was fantastic. We really enjoyed the different little towns along the journey and the variety of landscapes and various terrain despite the fact that some of them were a little challenging at times. Each little town had something different and wonderful to offer. The only thing we would change is maybe a couple free days of riding in order to enjoy some of the little towns, such as Sintra and Nazare. The staff was very courteous and professional, and provided us with all the information we needed for the journey. They were prompt to our requests and readily available to address all of our concerns.

I recently joined the Authentic Holland bike and boat tour aboard the Magnifique II, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. This tour beautifully balances activity with relaxation, making it ideal for anyone who wants to stay active yet unwind in a luxurious setting.
The Magnifique II felt like a luxury floating hotel—spotlessly clean, organised, and exceptionally comfortable. The crew went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, and the service was top-notch. A special mention goes to the chef, who amazed us each evening with delicious three-course dinners, highlighting local flavors and variety. The onboard bar was well-stocked, offering a range of drinks to enjoy as we relaxed after a day of cycling.
The bike routes were perfect, mostly flat and very scenic, providing a relaxing yet engaging ride through Holland’s landscapes. Our guides were knowledgeable and fluent in English, sharing fascinating historical insights and helping us connect Read More

My husband and I both agreed that this trip was the perfect balance of several things. The boat itself was just lovely!!! (clean, plenty of room to roam, sunning deck amazing, dining room/bar were cozy, our cabin was perfect size with windows), staff was so very friendly and exhibited exceptional attention to details (ie: early morning wiping down wet rails, food allergy concerns, even remembering our preferences), food was excellent, biking experience unforgettable, guides (Dora and Elan) blended as part of our group and gave very informative history lessons , plenty of time to walk/shop and enjoy the areas alone or as a group, A very well rounded, full, exceptional experience!!!! Many new friendships made! Beautiful country, honored to have experienced it. Oh, wine was delightful!!!! Can't forget that!

Authentic Holland
Netherlands

Having never been on a bike tour before, the Authentic Holland trip was a perfect first time experience! There were two routes provided each day, one for stronger cyclists and one for those like me who were more-so "along for the ride." This was perfect as it allowed everyone to enjoy their rides and get the most of what they wanted out of the trip. The way the cycling immersed us into the area was unbelievable. We rode through small towns, endless farmlands, lush forests, historic sites and even a bit into Amsterdam. The guides always made us feel safe and really took the time to get to know us and our interests, making the trip a more personal experience all around.

I cannot say enough about the Magnifique II or the crew, either! We felt right at home each time we returned to the boat, the staff always smiling and waiting to serve us refreshing drinks and a delicious dinner. Our chef was phenomenal and each meal was a unique spread! We certainly never went hungry! Our Read More

  Merlijn Merzig to Nancy

The trip on the Merlijn was wonderful. The captain, crew, and guide were all 5 star. Accommodations on the barge were very nice, with modern baths, excellent lighting, and adequate storage. The guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the areas we biked through. The wine tour we had one evening was the best I have ever taken. One evening we all had a meal out at a German restaurant that was delightful. I like the bike helmet they provided. It networked with the guides helmet and she was able to give us information as we road on excellent bike paths.

The Authentic Holland tour on the Magnifique II was incredible! This bike and boat tour took us through charming Hanseatic towns, beautiful nature reserves, and scenic waterways, with easy cycling routes perfect for all levels.

  Magnifique III Metz to Cochem
France, Luxembourg, Germany

The scenery along the Mosel River was spectacular and the heritage buildings and the history associated with them was both interesting and educational. The friendships that developed along the course of the trip added to our enjoyment and memories. The food was excellent although possible less in the way of trying to produce high end dishes and providing more in the way of comfort foods especially during the cold and rainy weather soups and stews would have been appreciated.
