Dream of a lifetime vacation! There were 3 couples and a great time was had by all! The itinerary was amazing and the crew were all outstanding! The boat itself was a little rustic and dated, but it was manageable. No air conditioning, which would be very difficult to deal with in the hot months. Thanks for a great vacation I will remember forever!

An intimate, leisurely vacation with lots of activity and places to see. Food was innovative and delicious. Captain and Staff exceptional. Accommodations were clean, comfortable and just the right size. Loved that there were only 16 guest cabins. Have already recommended this to many of our friends. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!

This was my 5th Boatbike tour and again wonderful. The staff, were so helpful when needed. We had to arrange a shuttle at the end of the tour and I apologize for forgetting his name, but he called and spoke in German to explain where the boat was docked . We were picked up right on time at the boat. The chef was superb, presentation of each meal was something to behold. I’m sorry to end with a negative but the only problem was with the briefing. It fell short of all my other trips. We had two episodes where one of our bikes battery failed and we were unable to reach our guide by phone. All said we enjoyed this tour. Janet

The crew was amazing, so very helpful, they went beyond our expectations. The meals were great, accommodation was great. I am not sure who is responsible for the bike conditions but our first day several of us had flat tires, loose handle bars and gear problems. We told the guide but he never followed through. If it wasn’t for our Captain Meye, First Mate Kris and some of the passengers we would never have had them fixed. The guides attitude was rude, upsetting us and talking about other passengers. He was very unprofessional. He had a terrible time following the GPS so we were lost almost every day. He wanted us to cross a busy highway, thankfully one of the group said NO. I did a Bike and Barge tour three years ago and everyone was excellent including the tour guides, so I know the company does have qualified guides. Unfortunately on this tour we didn’t get one of them.

The staff and guides were great. The food was excellent. This was the best part of our three week Europe trip. We had so much fun we’re already looking our next trip.

Our experience was above our expectations. The staff were wonderful in terms of service from the cleanliness of the cabins, food and beverage service, and tour directors. They were always helpful and friendly and keen to ensure we enjoyed our time. The e-bicycles were very good and allowed us to consider the “long” routes on all days including the windy ones. The barge was very well appointed with modern facilities that were incredibly comfortable and very enjoyable. The GPS routes were very good when the tour directors followed them so well worth the effort to download ahead of time. It was a little disconcerting when the tour director left the planned route and thus a sense of need (stress) to ensure you didn’t get separated from the group. The meals prepared by Chef Bas were excellent. We would highly recommend this tour!

Our trip on Allure was fabulous. Martien our Captain, Alv our chef extraordinaire, Angeline, Kris & of course Lia our guide. They all made us very welcome and gave us fabulous service. We would recommend Boat & Bike tours again. Although some of the emails we all received for payment of accounts etc were pretty messy and wrong 99% of the time. It may be worthwhile ensuring your brochure for the trip reflects what kms the riders travel everyday as some felt it wasn’t accurate which made it difficult to work it if some riders were able to ride the whole trip.

A thoroughly enjoyable trip for my family and I. The staff on the Magnifque II were so professional and competent …. and nice. The tour leaders, Corrie and Hester were extremely knowledgeable and adapted the days to suit the needs of the group. The boat staff, Gaz, Marnek, Chris, Damaris and Gabby were super efficient, and all in all it was a great week. Will recommend!

This was an amazing trip! Loved every minute of it! Alex our guide was amazing & made our bike trips everyday a great adventure! Our bar tender Armand came on most of out bike trips as well & was very helpful & fun to be with. Plus he was a great bar tender! Always making us laugh! Sahood our server was so sweet & always smiling! He made all our meals so pleasant! The food was delicious! The only criticism I could make is that our cabin kind of smelled moldy but it certainly didn’t deter us from having the greatest time ever! Thank you to all the Bordeaux boat & bike crew!

Fantastic girls trip! Loved our guide Alex and guide/bartender Arman! The biking was amazing. We all rented E bikes and would definitely recommend getting1, and also paid for a fully guided tour which was so worth it. Food was great, cabins tiny.
