I’ve been to the Czech Republic, Switzerland, France, Italy, Germany, and Portugal on cycling trips with Ann. I can’t think of a single complaint about any of those trips. She gives us a fantastic experience. Her trips are well organized and a fantastic value for the money. The itineraries are well thought out. The hotels are clean and comfortable. I can’t praise Ann enough for her hard work to make these trips so enjoyable and memorable. I look forward to the trip to Slovenia in September 2026. Thanks, Ann.
Travel agent Ann leads her own small groups in Europe. She’s been my go-to for 20 years! I love how Ann always books our home based in the most quaint towns in which I feel very comfortable walking about on my own. A magical week in Switzerland in 2006 has lead to a lifetime of international adventures. More recently I experienced the Lake District in the UK and am dreaming about Tuscany in 2026. Looking forward to more adventures with Ann!
“We’ve traveled with Trip Chicks twice and are excited to join them again in Tuscany this spring. Really like the small group size, special moments sometimes even surprise visits, and authentic local experiences like Swiss cheese festivals. Ann’s expertise has made these tours unforgettable.”
There are many great things about going on a Trip Chicks trip! We biked Portugal with Ann in 2025. Wonderful destination, home-based accommodations with guided day tours from there, tasty food, and good organization. Fun group and wonderful experience.
I had the best time on my two trips with the Trip Chicks, Czech Republic and Switzerland. Ann went to great lengths to plan and organize everything. They were both awesome trips with good food, great sights, and lots of discoveries.
Our lucky day when we started traveling with “Trip Chicks “many years ago to western and eastern Europe. Such fun seeing countries through the eyes of someone like Ann, who lives in and travels the countries. She always seeks out favorites, maybe unknown surprises for her travelers, and her tours are a great value.
The local guides, inns, and eateries on our France and eastern Europe bike and cycle/barge tours were great. A true cultural immersion with unique off-the-beaten-path experiences. Ann’s dynamic style and our small groups are always friendly and relaxed. Plus, Ann’s affordable prices are super. Highly recommended!
As a retired flight attendant, I’ve been traveling with Ann for over 20 years and love her trips. Excursions to hidden gems away from typical tourist spots, the laughs, fun, discoveries and new friendships, and more.
Relaxing & scenic journeys along Europe’s rivers, including the Danube, Rhine, Rhône, Seine, Douro, Loire, Moselle, Elbe, & more.
Stay in one beautiful small-town location & explore a region in depth through memorable day excursions & special local experiences.
