Cochem to Metz, the last trip of the season. The trip routes were scenic and enjoyable. Distances to be covered were reasonable for relaxed touring with well-spaced comfort stops. Both tour guides were excellent: knowledgeable and enthusiastic and always willing to help. The ‘extra’ experiences were very enjoyable. The food was overall high quality. However, the breakfasts lacked the hot food selection of past trips. This made the choices for breakfast and lunch almost the same for the entire trip. Cheese and cold cuts sandwiches every day. Overall, the experience of the trip was still very positive. Every staff member was friendly and helpful. We always felt well cared for. The Magnifique I was not as spacious as the Magnifique III. The cabin lacked the shelving along the walls and the closet was too small for the clothes hangers. The deck wasn’t as spacious and lacked the lounging area around the stern.
Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback about your recent trip from Cochem to Metz. It’s great to hear that you enjoyed the scenic routes, the manageable cycling distances, and the effort of the guides. Your positive words about the team and the overall experience are much appreciated. We understand your point regarding the breakfast options and the cabin layout on the Magnifique I. We will certainly take your comments into account as we continue to improve the experience for our guests. We hope to welcome you on board again in the future! Kind regards, Boat Bike Tours

Overall Comments The scenery was amazing, our junior suite very nice. However, we didn’t have air conditioning for two days, so the great crew improvised with a portable system. On the evening we were getting packed up to go home, the plumbing system backed up and our room was flooded. The bikes were in great shape. The food amazing. The captain and entire crew were gracious and kind. I’d like to suggest to the bike ride leaders, that on the first night they find out who has never ridden before. I sustained a very bad fall – due to the fact that people weren’t calling out “stop” “slowing”,”turning”, etc. With 16 bikes in a row, you just can’t anticipate what is going on. Maybe the less skilled riders could go with one leader for first couple of days until they learn the etiquette of riding.
Thank you for your detailed feedback and the positive comments about the scenery, the food, and the crew. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience with the air conditioning and the plumbing issue. That’s definitely not the experience we aim to provide, but we’re glad the crew did their best to resolve it as much as possible. We’re sorry to hear about your fall, and we appreciate your suggestion to pay extra attention to participants’ cycling experience. What you mention about cycling etiquette is certainly something to consider. Could you explain a bit more about what you mean by cycling etiquette? As you pointed out, this might differ from country to country. In the Netherlands, for example, you don’t hear this as often, but we understand the situation can be different depending on the riders’ experience. It is indeed important for every participant to be responsible for where they ride and how fast they go, and we always encourage everyone to stay aware of their own safety and that of others. Once again, thank you for your valuable feedback, and we hope to welcome you back in the future for an improved experience.

My husband and I had the most fabulous time on our boat and bike trip from Metz to Cochem . Our guide Erna was simply the best- informative, patient , thoughtful and fun-loving. We also had two great hostesses who always greeted us with a special afternoon treat. And seeing the grapes on the vine as we biked our way up the Moselle was truly a sight to behold.
Thank you for your lovely review! We're so glad to hear you had a fantastic time on your trip from Metz to Cochem and that Erna and our hostesses made your experience even more special. We hope to welcome you back on another adventure soon! Kind regards, Boat Bike Tours

The trip was a lot of fun. The bikes were in great condition and the rides were lovely with beautiful scenery around each turn. The only problem we encountered was the air conditioning on the first day and the last few days wasn’t operating correctly and it was uncomfortable.
Thank you for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the rides and scenery. We apologize for the issues with the air conditioning and will address it to ensure a more comfortable experience in the future. We hope to welcome you back for another enjoyable trip. Kind regards, Boat Bike Tours
