Every member of the staff, from top to bottom was not only helpful but eager to lend a hand. The one thing that irritated me was how we were charged for so many things that should have been included in the original cost of the trip. For example, I asked for a glass of water. I got a very small one and then was charged a rather large amount for the water.

Everything worked to our complete satisfaction. The tour was well organized, the personnel was very friendly and highly competent.

For the price of the tour, it was excellent. We got to see many different countries and be right in the heart of things.

The kindness of the personnel in the bar and the restaurant and the cleaning personnel, the excuisit meals, the good functioning of the people who loaded and unloaded the bikes each day.

The check in process was efficient and friendly. Our cabin was clean and had plenty of room for our bags. The bed was comfortable. Staff were all very friendly. Food which was provided was very tasty and plentiful. The ship itself was comfortable and spacious. We were extremely uncomfortable with the tipping etiquette – staff should be paid by the company and passengers should tip if they feel it is appropriate. The drinks package available should have had more items on it – such as a cocktail a day as well as more spirits.

Experience of a lifetime! Beautiful scenery, bike paths were great, food onboard was excellent and finally, crew onboard SE Manon was excellent. Will definitely book another trip in the near future.

Great scenery during cycling days. Nice balance of cycling days and excursions. Food was fantastic and the drink prices reasonable.

I recently returned from a boat/bike trip with Boat Bike Tours, that took me through parts of Germany, Austria, Slovakia, and Hungary. In short, I can say this was an amazing, beautiful experience, and I will definitely look into additional bike trips that Boat Bike Tours offer. However, I feel I need to break it down a little. First, I’m relatively new to biking; casual rides within 2-3 miles to the grocery store, beach, etc. I assure you, the Boat Bike Tours meet many different levels of biking – mostly because these tours are meant to slow you down to take in the beauty of the villages, meadows, forests, and vineyards. Both standard bikes and e-bikes are available to meet your biking level. Second, the itinerary was just what I was looking for. Enough time to ride the trails, stop for pictures or a beer (right on the trails), and time to take in the sights and shop till you drop in Vienna, Budapest, Bratislava. etc. Third, I was pleasantly surprised with the rooms on the boat. They are roomy enough for two (or a single), with a full bathroom and plenty of closet/storage space. Lastly, the food is amazing. Full breakfast buffet, provisions are available to make your lunch to take while biking, and 2-3 different dinner options each day. Everyone on the staff was friendly, focused, and committed to every detail. I cannot recommend Boat Bike Tours enough. Looking into the Amsterdam to Bruges bike tour next!! Enjoy!!

Wonderful tour. Tour directorLeslie was fantastic. Good sense of humour and very well organized. Hotel manager and rest of crew were very helpful and friendly and efficient in loading and unloading bikes. Food was great and rooms a decent size. Housekeeping came often. Overall experience was wonderful and would highly recommend.

We loved our trip. The cabin was comfortable. The food was terrific. The crew went above and beyond to meet every need. Well planned and executed!
