Just finished Amsterdam to Bruges trip with Bike Boat Tours and would caution anyone from using this company. The biking and historical sights were amazing but the guide in formation (maps, briefings) were always bad and wrong including the GPS app they recommend which “head office” was in charge of. The boat was awful – rooms were not clean/kept clean, towels dirty, supplies or replaced, there was a virus outbreak (likely norovirus) that had over 60% of the guests affected including missing 1 or 2 days of biking. Staff confirmed that this occurred the week before as well. Food was ok, but constantly ran out of breakfast and lunch food. Drink pricing was reasonable. Air conditioning never worked properly, there was gas burping up through the toilets all night the last night (likely sign of filled sewer tank) and the Captain was inappropriate and unprofessional.

The boat and bike tour was absolutely amazing. Everything was so well organized and we had options each day for the length of ride we wanted to do (or not ride at all if you didn’t want to). Each days ride provided different scenery to check out. We were also provided with information on special places to see. Andreas and Rianna were exceptional tour guides.

The staff were absolutely great. The guides were very knowledgeable, professional and helpful, but also friendly and full of fun. The food was delicious and the chefs did a great job of introducing us to local cuisine. The boat was professionally operated. The staff worked very well together and tried very hard to meet everyones needs. The trip was good value, the boat was comfortable and service very good. What was promised was delivered, no complaints. Saw alot, did a lot, would definitely recommend.

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!!

I enjoyed the combination of biking and good food. The hosts were fantastic!! I can recommend this trip to anyone.

The boat bike trip between Koblenz and Merzig was a great trip. We made new friends, saw beautiful small villages and amazing vineyards high up the hills. The guide set a good pace for biking and was informative and very helpful with any questions that arose.

Great crew. Nice room. Beautiful ship. Friendly passengers Food very mediocre. Chef went to little trouble on the meals. Everyone agreed

The guides were great. As was the overall boat and rooms. The food was average and disappointing.

The Staff and their dedication to Excellence in all aspects of the delivery of their services. What a great team. As the experience unfolded, and adjustments to plan where required, the team’s ability to sustain attention to the best interest of the guests and the quality of the experience was simply brilliant. Well done all.

The staff were outstanding, friendly, and interesting. The ship was beautiful, elegant and very comfortable. The chef and all the meals were fantastic. The biking equipment was first rate. I highly recommend this trip.
