Our guide Tami was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic. She made the trip exceptional.

We spent a wonderful week on the Flora on the Friesland tour led by the fantastic team of captain Berthus, chef Jonne and sailor Andy. All worked hard to make our boat bike tour a fabulous experience. The weather was atrocious but nevertheless we loved our holiday in this special region. The imaginative and delicious food prepared by Jonne was a welcome treat after cycling in the wind and the rain. The friendship and camaraderie between guests of different nationalities was very special, aided by the wonderful crew.

Great holiday, great food. Communication and organisation all very well set up. A bit of cycle practice and awareness is recommended before you take your holiday.

Small boat. Excellent leader.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip and the crew and guide were friendly and helpful.

I was on the Flora, traveling from Koblenz to Merzig in September. The trip was nothing short of fabulous. Fresh air, easy bike rides, interesting towns, beautiful scenery, amazing food, very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful crew. We are already looking forward to our next trip with boatandbike!

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.

Everything about the trip was as I expected, if not better. Our guide went above and beyond. The bike paths and scenery were superb, as was the food and the crew. Absolutely perfect…..I would highly recommend this trip to my friends.

Traveling the Flora is not for the high maintenance, needy and demanding. This is like very fancy camping on a magnificent boat that also serves as someone’s home. You are in someone’s home, being welcomed to their dining room, their living room and their hearts. The ship is efficiently run! The captain is friendly and kind but gives the air (as any good captain should) that this is his boat and his rules. If you are familiar with small boat life you get it. It is a busy life with many parts and pieces. The chef! Junne, what can I say except you can taste her commitment and passion for cooking. My husband and I love variety and flavors and the Flora delivers! Quaint, rustic and nutrient packed dishes were a lovely surprise every day. I was fortunate to spend time with her and wish I had more time. She could easily become a great friend. Berthus, Junne and Christiana were wonderfully kind, generous and great hosts. Hetty, our guide, is the picture of loveliness. She is genuine in her interest of your holiday and eager to help you settle in to your desire for your own holiday expectation. She was helpful and hard working, kind and efficient. I would love to travel with her again. The Flora is cozy and unique. Cabins are clean and well cared for. If you expect all the comforts of a massive cruise this is not your boat, but if you truly want a family home experiencing small boat life in a intimate setting, then Flora and it’s crew are it! We will definitely travel with them again in the future. This morning on our departure as our taxi pulled away, Berthus, Junna, Hetty and Christiana were there behind us waiving good bye. I did not have a tissue for my tears. My only complaint. If the crew makes you fall in love with the country you are visiting, the boat you are traveling on and them, they should make sure you have a tissue for your tears when you depart. Love you all Flora! Thank you so much.
