My wife and I had a wonderful holiday on your Magnifique III… especially bike guides Wilfred, Corrie, Frank and the rest of the behind the scenes crew! Well done! Graham & Amber

Wish our air conditioner worked in our cabin more than the 4 days it worked. When we boarded our room was 26.5 degrees and it took the crew 3 days to fix (not such a hardship under normal conditions but we had a few days at 30 degrees outside). The experienced guide was great. Ronald (new to the business) was just ok. Didn’t realize that a good part of 2 days of biking was going thru or beside very industrial sections of the Rhine. Overall the boat staff were very good, and the bar tender was exceptional!

Always room for improvement on food. Variety for breakfasts would be nicer. Dinners were delightful. We had a suite, would love a little more space around the bed. Stock sparkling water. Totally enjoyed the trip and will do it again.

Captain, mate and waitress perfect. Always smiling and available. Boat was OK also. Sometimes the route was a bit short, but all the villages and cities were absolutely great and magnificient to visit. The route was sometimes beside the road ans this is a bit noising.

Awesome experience! Junger did an amazing job. Much work for one person! Great crew.

The biking was excellent, but the boating less so. The Fleur was a bit disappointing as to space. There just wasn’t enough during breakfast, drinks and briefings. Food was not bad, but not wow. Financial matters were overemphasized. The cycling and company did make up for all that, though. The tour leaders were excellent.

I loved our trip from Brugges to Amsterdam! The over night towns were wonderful and the gps route and maps were easy to follow. We took an unguided tour but the briefings from tour guides, Arnold and Maria were very helpful. The staff was wonderful! We loved Nadja, Monica, Rabi and Joost. Very friendly and a great crew! We truly hope they will continue the unguided tours. This was my 3rd boat and bike and will not be the last! Thanks for the memories!

This trip far exceeded our expectations and is a tremendous value. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. They worked very hard to make this an outstanding vacation for everyone. We were always well prepared for the day ahead thanks to the evening briefings. A particular shout out to our biking guides Corry, Wilfred and Frank. They always had our safety and comfort in mind and were great sources of information about culture and history. Many nights they took us on a history and culture walk after dinner. The biking was in general easier than expected although getting used to the e-bike was a bit challenging. The food was delicious thanks to Chef Michael. The cabins very comfortable. I was in lower level cabin which was spacious (for a barge) and well appointed. We really had a great week.

We biked up and down the Danube to the Iron Gates on the Swiss Crown and had a very good experience! The food and all the folks that prepared it and served us were outstanding! The rooms were nice and the service with them couldn’t have been better. The farther you biked into Eastern Europe the more difficult it was but I found it great fun. Our cruise director could have stressed safety more and perhaps given more directives in case of emergency. He was a little hard on Americans in my opinion. I liked him but I thought I should share that.

Most awesome crew of Carlos (bike guide), Fillipo , barge captain, Sara, most fabulous chef, and Michela (spelling?) who was new , but super at his job. He was friendly, made great juice drinks, and has great smile! Only suggestion that several of us had was to rate the biking as Level 2 and half, instead of Level 1. Biking thru towns was challenging, (but Carlos was of great help), downhill on gravel roads was not always easy, and the one day with an elevation. I tried an E-bike for first time, and appreciated that you had extras on board. Had gotten muscle cramps, probably from travel delays and temps in mid 90’s (I prefer heat to cold, so was fine), and my upper legs were sore from those nasty, painful quad muscle cramps, thus the main reason for E-bike. Your regular bikes were more comfortable for my being 5’1”, just FYI. Overall, a wonderful experience! Also wanted to compliment Carlos for arranging awesome tours in the towns and for his flexibility on the last day. 3 bikers did the regular route, and he guided the rest of us to the Mediterranean Sea and a smaller group to an interesting winery, with gracious hosts. He was sensitive to what we wanted, spoke great English and other languages, loved his job and I can’t say enough great things about him. Another negative for us US folks (and certainly not your fault) were airline difficulties. We arrived in France a day late and long day of waiting for trains, etc. Maybe contributed to my dehydration, thus muscle cramps. That’s all! Cheers to a trip well planned!
