As always, they ran an excellent and well organized program. Wonderful cycling, gorgeous scenery, fantastic city tours, and service with a smile. They did a great job of providing vegan meals for us.

Overall a very good experience, and a great value. No issues with the ship, it was very quiet and smooth. The staff was all very friendly and professional. The A/C in the dining room and lounge was fine at first, but could not keep up during a heat wave. (It was fine in the staterooms.) The stateroom was comfortable and the head/shower spacious. Housekeeping service was top notch. The food was not “over the top” but certainly “very good”. Drink prices were very reasonable. Note that the e-bikes only work on “eco” or “tour” settings. The Tour+ (high setting) did not work, but the Tour (medium) provided a moderate boost. The navigation app worked very well, and the daily ride briefings were thorough. Be sure to purchase a handlebar mount from the cruise director for your phone. We liked all the excursions except the bike tour of Vienna. There way too much traffic and street chaos to be enjoyable, and it seemed to miss some important sights.

Everything was really perfect. The staff was great, food was good and service excellent. The cruise director kept us on our toes. Cabins and bathrooms were nice and clean. Even the weather was perfect for the week. Also, met many people from several countries.

Given that just before our tour started the Danube flooded, we managed to still have an amazing time. Our Cruise Director, Leslie and the captain had to make many choices and managed to get us down the river and out on excursions and out on the bikes as much as possible, so we could still experience most of the original itinerary. Leslie is unbelievable–delivering some of the best customer service I’ve seen in a long time. He is so high energy, organized, and knowledgeable–able to accommodate most requests and keep everyone laughing! The food was delicious–lots of variety and the rooms were nice and roomy. It was so much fun. We plan on booking another trip for sure!

I liked that many different countries were represented. The food and service was excellent. The bike tour guides great and Leslie was the perfect Master of ceremonies.

Wonderful itinerary and very nice whistles and bells on the Vivienne for the Danube trip. Food and guides were absolutely magnificent. Highly recommend this trip.

It was a lovely week and one of mybest vacations. Beautiful places , nice bikes and great weather. The only “negative “ point is that we have to share tables with other guests. It is good but it doesn’t need to be in all meals.

Everything was perfect! The staff was always there for us. Our biking was great. The food was wonderful. Would love to do it again!

The ship Vivienne was amazing . The crew were exceptionally hard working and very friendly The food was 5 star and plentiful. Lesley the tour manager was very helpful and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for him. The only downside was the e-bikes which were extremely heavy and had been downgraded in tour+ mode so there was no extra power to compensate for the weight. Some of the information regarding parking and boat transfers was wrong, and some information about the ship was incorrect.

Where do I begin to describe this wonderful experience..From the time I arrived to board the boat and bike tour I was met with friendly efficient hosts and hostesses that took care of nearly all my needs..They took my luggage to my room to allow me the pleasure of registering and looking around the boat…The registration was straight forward without any trouble, there was a welcoming afternoon drink/coffee in a very well appointed lounge with an informative welcome/introduction/instructions seminar… The room was large with double beds and a large porthole window, a large complete bathroom on the lowest deck. The boat had just undergone a lovely refit recently with all the trimmings of a classy boat/bike barge… The food was extraordinary in it’s variety and content..Utterly no complaints about the food! The dining room staff were also attentive and friendly.. There were no negatives to even consider…I would take all my family and recommend this trip of a lifetime to everyone I know…Thank you for everything I gained by doing this boat bike tour with Rad/Reisen/Eurocycle..via BoatBikeTours.com
