The crew and the guides were terrific, always making sure we were comfortable and aware of the plans ahead of time. The food was delicious, fresh and plentiful. The ebikes were perfectly sized for the terrain. We always felt safe. We had a really great time.

I can’t speak highly enough of my recent Boat Bike tour down the Moselle. Staff and guides were fabulous, cabin was really comfortable and roomy and food was exceptional.

The guides were absolutely amazing. The food was amazing. The ship was beautiful. The ability of the crew and guides to pivot when the weather turned less favorable was impressive.

We just completed the Pearls of Dalmatia tour between Dubrovnik and Split and to put it succinctly, we had a fantastic time. The overall organization of the trip was excellent, the crew of the boat first class and the two guides, Ivan and Nicky were very informative and knew their job superbly – making it a truly enjoyable experience. The rides through the gorgeous Croatian islands felt challenging enough and safe with too many incredible views to count. Thank you all for an amazing experience. We will be back.

The location, the crew (especially our chef)

Can’t say enough about the gracious hospitality shown by our captain Salvatore, son Angelo, and daughter Vanessa. The Sundial is a family operation and a beautiful example of a wooden caique. The dinners prepared by Vanessa were OUTSTANDING and a high point of the tour. I greatly appreciated the opportunities to take a swim from the Sundial, and to visit other local beaches as well. The combination of swimming and biking was a big reason for choosing this tour. I was grateful for the headlamps provided for the nighttime Stromboli expedition. Thankfully there were no accidents and our able guide Jochen provided a helping hand when needed. Stromboli cooperated with continuous red-hot lava eruptions that were thrilling to watch. Ebikes were well maintained and fully charged each day, and very comfortable to ride. In the future, addition of rear view mirrors to the ends of the handlebars would increase the riders sense of safety. I would highly recommend this experience!!

This was our first BB tour and we absolutely loved it! Our guides, Eddie and Serge were outstanding, always attending to the safety of the group and very informative about history, cultural information and best places to get onshore meals. We also loved the playfulness and humor they brought to the group. Crew members were always helpful, and did a lot of ‘behind the scene’ work. Zlatko runs a tight ship bar, and we found him to be quite a character! Meal portions seemed large but the extra energy came in handy when pumping up those long hills. Highlight meals were the fish fillets, lasagna, chicken and pork with mushroom sauce and several of the salads. Low points were the overcooked tuna filets and leftover tuna fillet salad. We agree with others about wine choices and the prices. Our room was cozy and serviceable but being a thin wall away from motor noises on and off frequently throughout the night made a good night sleep hard to attain. Next time we will book earlier and get an above water cabin. We’d love to do another trip! Thank you

Good boat and guides well worth trying!

Great team of guides and crew–caring, professional, fun. Delicious meals. I will strongly recommend Boat Bike Tours.

We had a wonderful trip travelling from Paris to Brugge. Cabins are small but you spend most of your day out and about, so it doesn’t matter. Highlights were beautiful rides through forests and villages, and just sitting on the top deck chatting and having snacks and drinks after the day’s events. The food was fantastic, three delicious courses every night, plus special tasting nights (cheese and beer) – also fabulous fresh bread and pastries every morning. The staff worked so hard to make sure we had an awesome time, there was always a choice about rides for the next day and of course, the option to stay on the boat if you felt the need. Guides were knowledgeable, funny and very kind. We will always remember this trip – it was a highlight of our stay in Europe.
