Our experience was better than expected. The crew were very helpful and accommodating throughout the week. All meals were well done with good selection. The other passengers we met added to a positive experience. The bikes were comfortable to ride and occasionally we would interpret the trail incorrectly but we were able to get back without much difficulty.

If you look for active hollidays, but keep interested with good travelling conditions, good meals… that’s it.

We had a great experience from beginning to end. The bikes were comfortable to ride, the crew were all friendly, the food was great, and the routes were well explained.

It was a great week, we enjoyed very much, the ship was very good the crew the food everything. And of course the riding.

Our cruise along the Danube was fantastic! The ship was comfortable (even though the cabins are rather small, but they are cabins!), the crew and all the staff were efficient, smiling and kind. I had a special meal every day as I was the only vegan on board. We enjoyed the rides, which were extremely clearly explained by Andreas, not too difficult or too long. Andreas gave us useful tips on where to go, what to visit, where to stop. I strongly recommend a tour on this boat, really a five-star holiday for me!

We were on Theodore Korner Danube Impressions June 8-15, 2019. We really enjoyed all most all of the trip. The crew was awesome – always friendly and helpful and always working hard. The cycling director was also very good. The air conditioning did not work in our room the first two nights and this was a problem. After getting it fixed it worked off and on. I know it is an older boat but this needs to be improved. The food was all great but the dinners took 2 hours. Way too long and it was also very hot down there.

My boat bike tour on the Danube was a blast. I would do it again and I would also recommend it to anyone. It’s very organized. Everyone on board the Theodor Körner was helpful and friendly. I enjoyed the food on board. Andreas, the tour director, was very helpful and the daily briefings describing the next day’s ride were informative and helpful. I’m looking forward to my next boat bike tour.

Our cruise guide, Andrious, was fantastic! The food was not very good. I don’t think it was the cooks/chefs, it was the quality of the ingredients. The crew for the most part were upbeat and pleasant. But the restaurant manager was less than professional, he yelled at us and we saw him treat others with the same level of courtesy.

Well planned cycle routes with good instruction from the Tour Director. Good quality bike’s Helpful and friendly staff. Atmosphere on ship good despite some technical problems causing a change in plans and losing one days cycling. Food good and well served. Wi-Fi only available on certain parts of the boat Should be available throughout including cabins. Air conditioning not working on occasions leaving the small cabins hot. Overall a great holiday and would recommend it

As I understood it, the people running the trip on the boat do not work directly for the company that we booked with. Boat-Bike tours in Holland. The staff and crew are all very good. The itinerary and trip plans also were as advertised. The boat could use updating, and definitely better mechanical maintenance. We were supposed to have an air-conditioned room, as all of the units, and many of them did not work, including ours. Also, there was a sewer smell that was sometimes apparent in parts of the boat – sometimes in our cabin but fortunately not all the time – which some crewmembers said it was due to a broken pipe that had not been fixed. The air conditioning also often was not working well enough, and the dining room could get too warm at dinner.The worst part was the engine break down, which cost us a lost day of biking, which was very disappointing. That was coupled with the fact that we got stuck overnight at one stop because of low water, which then caused us to lose most of our plan full day in Vienna, and to have to take a bus to Vienna just to spend a few hours there Although things like this can happen, a lot of us were wondering why they didn’t have more information anticipating this low water problem, so we wouldn’t have got stuck. Most of the dinner food was good and the breakfast buffet was satisfactory. The food made available to pack lunches was subpar. The lunchmeat were not very good, and they also should’ve had some things that were not subject to heat, like peanut butter, so we didn’t have to have our lunch be outside in hot weather for many hours before eating it. We did bring our own little insulated lunch bags, but there was no ice or anything cold to put in there with the sandwiches The other big problem is water. It was hot most of our trip, plus we obviously were all engaging in a lot of exercise. However, we could not drink the water on the boat, and they would give you one small bottle each day to take biking with you. They also didn’t serve water at dinner, unless you wanted to pay for it. On a trip like this, there should be a lot of water provided, if they can’t make the boats water potable This is a good way to risk people getting the hydrated There was no information before the trip about the fact we would have to provide most of our own water.
