Great crew made our trip

This trip was above and beyond our expectations. The boat, the food and the service was all amazing. We had a fantastic time. Loved the rides and everything we saw and experienced. We will definitely travel with them again.

A very friendly experience – with good food!

5 stars all the way! The rooms are beautifully appointed and roomy; great heated towel rack; strong shower pressure was a nice surprise and even a decent closet with shelves – plenty of room for clothes. The food was delicious and varied each day, with standards for breakfast which is nice for a yogurt and fruit person. I loved that at breakfast we prepared our own lunches and are on the ride in really interesting places. The bikes were in great shape and easy to handle. We had the assist (ebike) and only used it for high winds and those very short, steep bridges over canals but it was really nice to have the option when you’re just plain tired after a long day. I highly recommend getting one. The guides and entire crew…perfection! Friendly and fun and interesting and full of useful information about the areas we biked or ‘parked’ for the night. A few of us are ready to sign up for another tour with them in another area of Europe. Communication with the company was very good during the confusing ‘do we-don’t we go?’ question that was ever present for 3 yrs. We waited and they agreed and it turned out perfect!

This trip has been in the making for several years. We had originally wanted a September 2019 departure date. (Un) or may be fortunately, the date and boat we wanted was sold out so we scheduled it for early September 2020 adding several of our friends to the “ride”. We named the group with the first two letters of our last names, AKA the Portland Gang. due to the pandemic, we rescheduled twice and eventually embarked in the best adventure one could hope. The accommodations were top notch. we couldn’t have asked for a better crew. Everyone of them! Congratulations to management for putting together such outstanding people, and such a great program.

Fabulous trip that exceeded my expectations. The staff was attentive and fun. The food was consistently excellent and well presented. Drinks were reasonably priced and there were always snacks. Rooms were comfortable and storage space plentiful considering the small space. Each evening you’re given an overview of what to expect the next day. The landscape was as delightful as I could imagine. The riding pace was a bit slow, so good for most levels, but too tedious for a serious biker. Some guides point out more than others as you ride.

The crew was fabulous! The guides made sure we were safe and well supported every step of the way. The food was excellent, and the Magnifique IV was luxurious in all respects. It was an exceptional trip!

Attentive, friendly upbeat staff that worked every minute to corral several groups. Navigation alone was sometimes a challenge when directions and gps did not match, and I suggest having a novice do the route early in season. Good food , though breakfast was a little crowded. Suggest moving coffee / tea away from food. We will look for other trips by this company.

Even though the weather didn’t cooperate (cold, windy and wet), that didn’t slow down the enthusiasm and fun. The staff made the trip so enjoyable. The food, accommodations, staff, bikes, etc. were all first rate. All the guests got along and formed a cohesive group. We’re so glad we were part of the group.

We had a most excellent time with the Boat and Bike Tours. Our tour guides Esther & Tom were the best. They gave us tips on what to do and how to react in certain situations. We had the e-bikes which made the trip easier in the needed areas. Our accommodations were very comfortable and clean every day. The captain Walter and crew were very friendly and would give the time for a little chat. The chief Pettr made the most delicious meals we have had in a long time. We give this trip a 10 out of 10 in all aspects and highly recommend it. Way to go Boat and Bike Tours.
