This was truly the best trip my husband and I have ever taken. The Magnifique II was a beautiful boat with clean, roomy berths. The staff (Esmee, Jikkae, Henk, Tomas, Gerardo) were amazing. Our tour leaders, Esther and Bert were fantastic. The food was out of this world. Nothing at all was lacking in regards to the hospitality. We will be back!

The staff was fantastic. Great bikes and guides ( very professional). Meals were just ok at times, most were fine. It would have been nice to have spent more time in the little towns along the way.

Absolutely a fantastic vacation!

The crew (Eelke, Monique, Lars and Glenn) the Lena Maria were amazing. I would gove them a 10 out of 10. They were so engaging and made living on a boat for 8 days really easy and comfortable. The food was exceptionally good. The tour guide (Fred) was incredibly wonderful. I opted to deviate from the tour a couple of days and he was awesome. Fred ensured I was equipped with the knowledge and tools to get back to the ship as easily as possible. He did walking tours with interested individuals after the dinners on the boat and provided some information about the cities we were in. I would highly recommend this group of people.

This was the 10th time I travelled in the combination boat and bike tours, all over Europe. But this last tripp knocked off all earlier tours. The boat, the crew, the food, the service was outstanding, there is just nothing you can complaine Fortuna with its crew togather with their road finder were the best in all catagories.

Thoroughly enjoyed our boat/bike experience. Corrie and Arnie were wonderful guides, friendly, yet professional and safety conscious. We sailed on the Magnifique IV which was lovely. Chef Michael prepared tasty meals and snacks. Would gladly recommend this tour as the cycling is easy enough for anyone.

Fabulous time! Everything was perfect. Our rooms, food and service was excellent! A special mention to our tour guides, Ronald and Marie Josie..fantastic! Really felt a connection with them, and they made our riding amazing…Cheers to the entire crew! The Captain, Roniel, Anita, Teresa( the little one) and the fabulous chef Astrid, and of course Ronald and Marie Josia.

The bike boat cruise exceeded expectations! From beginning to end. The registration process was easy and follow up questions were answered promptly. The crew on the SE Manon were all super friendly. We loved the teamwork by the entire staff getting the bikes off and back on board each day. Enjoyed meeting folks from around the world. Biking was fun in spite of some rainy weather which helped raise the water level of the Danube so we could do the full trip. Food was excellent too. This is the best of both worlds, biking and river cruising on the beautiful Danube. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone!

It is difficult to describe how much we enjoyed this wonderful bike and barge tour! The accommodations were lovely and the crew took such good care of us! The group size was just right, so we could get to know the other travelers better and, at the end of the tour, it felt like we were all a family of sorts! Thank you, boatbiketours.com for a wonderful and memorable trip!

As the Montargis to Paris trip was described as ‘premium’, our expectations were high relative to other boat-bike trips. On the positive side, our tour leaders were good – pleasant, accommodating, entertaining, and kept us at a good cycling pace. However, the boat itself was disappointing. It felt run down, common areas were shabby, we seriously questioned the level of hygiene, and the food was so-so at best.
