The biking was great although the bikes could use an update. Food was good. Rooms were small but ok.

Overall it was a good experience. Some of the bikes could use some maintenance.

The overall cycling route was very good although somewhat too close to traffic lanes at times . The guide, Wieger , was excellent both knowledgeable and very safety conscious. The towns we visited were mostly very historical and picturesque. Berthus, Janne, Christina who owned and ran the boat and catering were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and the catering was very good. The cabins are small and fan was needed to keep cool. We had an excellent mix of clients other than our party. Overall I would rate highly.

Enjoyed great sailing, cycling and amazing food on our tour. We received a comprehensive briefing from our captain each morning explaining the days activities. Highly recommend this tour.

This was one of the best holidays I have had The staff were great , The food was delicious. The ride was enjoyable. Our room was small but very comfortable

We really enjoyed our southern Holland tour two weeks ago. The boat accommodations were comfortable, neat and clean. The meals were good, it was nice to be able to pack a lunch for our day. The tour guides were great! The daily briefings were helpful. It would be a good idea to let each rider have the route sheet on their bike. The choice of two routes, long and short, each day was good. We are looking forward to another bike boat vacation in the future!

The experience was wonderful, the guides and crew on Papa Priva were excellent yet others on the boat that signed up with Island hopping were given more details about the trip than we were from boat and bike tours. It would be helpful to tell guests to bring snorkel gear, towels and to be prepared to have cash for tips, bar etc.

I had a wonderful experience riding through Northern Burgundy. The rolling hills were challenging sans an E-bike. I choose to spend on day cruising on board and was invited to spend some time with the gracious Captain, Erik. He shared information about the Yonne River and traversing the locks and navigation in general. It was a rare experience which I treasure. The crew members were quite capable AND fun providing service, music and fun.

We had a wonderful time exploring Northern Holland on De Willemstad. The routes planned gave a good sampling of both large towns and countryside. The cycling crew were fantastic and their evening briefs on the next day’s excursion were very informative. The ship’s crew was professional, friendly and helpful. Accommodations were great as was food. The only thing I see that could use improvement is communication to passengers when a change in plans has been made because of weather. Rather than an announcement on a public address system, staff stepped into the dining room or salon to let people know. If you didn’t happen to be in one of those rooms, you were left uninformed about the upcoming changes. A public address would be much more efficient. That aside, everything was fantastic!

We paid to have a boat and bike experience but many of the bikes were in terrible condition and we cd never enjoy the nights because they shut us out of everything on the boat whenever they felt like it. I don’t know why we weren’t allowed to sit in the lounge and play cards and enjoy others company if we wanted to stay up later. You know the rooms aren’t big enough to have extra people in them and it rained quite often so we couldn’t sit upstairs. Maybe there should have been more crew so the paying customers wouldn’t have been disrupted by the crews sleep schedule and someone could have worked a night shift. The best thing I can say about the tours is the bike guides. They were excellent. The food was good but a little more salads would have been nice. Also, you should know your crowd. The people who book. We requested lots of ice for drinks, for on the boat, and that was not taken care of. We had to purchase our own ice and still the crew had a hard time making there own ice and it was asked of them, before we sailed, that we would need lots of ice. (Canadian people like their drinks very cold.)
