I was a part of a group of three 60 something aged couples who just finished the Island Hopping (Boatbike) Dalmation coast trip on the Romantica, we all loved it. The biking, while strenuous, was super enjoyable. Fit people could get by on regular bikes but less fit or less experienced riders would need e-bikes as a couple of the days required 1000m of elevation gain. The food on the boat was excellent and served with ample portions. We especially loved swimming off the back of the boat in the crystal clear Mediterranean waters. Our two biking guides, Yelena and Karlo, were amazing and looked after us like a mother duck with their ducklings. Would highly recommend this trip.
Thanks a lot for your enthusiastic review! We will forward your kind words to the crew of the Romantica. We hope to welcome you again next year!

This trip was great. Food wonderful! Tips: On website ensure it is clear the level of biking and number of kilometres per day. We were caught off guard as to the distance for biking. This was our mistake but perhaps it could be clearer. Staff was friendly, helpful. Outside seating deck lovely.
Thank you for your positive review! We are planning to change our information about the level of cycling, but still there is always a chance that you have to cycle a bit more than written in the itinerary. This can be because of unexpected road works, new sights along the route or other other unforseen adjustments. We do hope to welcome you again. Boat Bike Tours team

The trip was very much as advertised. The crew was very friendly. The cabins were not large but very well designed. The guides made a real effort to add some cultural tourism to the biking. it was fun.
Thank you for your positive review of your Bamberg - Miltenberg tour! Great to read that you have enjoyed yourselves. We hope to welcome you again!

Very nice experience! Beautiful dutch countryside!!! Very lucky with the weather as we had no rain at all! All staff very friendly and helpful. Food was very good and plenty. Negative comments:(1) I requested a quiet room on my application form and was located in the nearest room to the reception desk/main entrance to the boat (Room 302), therefore very, very noisy. Could not get any sleep before 12:30 am and with earplugs! (2) There should be jug of water at meals. Even to take a pill you have to buy a bottle of mineral water, (3) We were promised a cheese tasting event which never took place. In site of these, I had a lovely time and would recommend Boat and Bike. Thank you.
Wonderful to read you have enjoyed your South-Holland tour! Regarding your negative comments, we are very sorry the cabin was not what you have applied for. Unfortunately, we cannot grant all requests we receive on the booking forms. If the less noisy cabins are already booked there is not much left we can offer. But I understand it was good to have known in advance that a ship is more thin-walled than you have probably expected. Other 'noises' aboard a ship can be: the engine, the generator, footsteps on the upper deck, a snoring neighbour. For next time! About the water provided during the meals; we can say that most ships do not use their tap water for consumption. It is safe to drink the water, but they do not prefer to fill jugs of water during the meals. But we do think that a glas of water to take a pill could have been provided. We will forward your suggestion to the crew of the ship. Regarding your last comment about the cheese tasting: we are sorry to hear you haven't had this experience. It was supposed to be an extra effort from the ship, but they probably had there reasons. We will ask them about it. I hope you have enjoyed the visit of the cheese farm and that you were able to taste some cheese there. Great that your overall experience was so positive and that you would recommend us. Thanks! Kind regards, the Boat Bike Tours team.

WE had the most wonderful bike/barge tour on the Fluvius. Captain Visser and his second mate Ligthart were excellent and professional pilots on our trips through the canals. They were very accessible and easy to talk with about the barge and how they guided it along the canals. The whole staff was friendly and easy going. They all made the trip wonderful, especially in dealing with some very tired bikers at the end of the day. a very professional staff.
Thank you for writing this review! We are really pleased to hear you had such a wonderful time on board the Fluvius from Bruges to Amsterdam. We will forward your compliments to the crew.

Our trip from Amsterdam to Bruges, Belgium was fantastic! The boat is beautiful. The staff is very hard-working and accomomdating. The food was great. The tour guide was terrific at getting 34 people of varying cyclying abilities and ages from Point A to Point B each day. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing the Netherlands and Belgium in a much more intimate way than a traditional tour.
Thank you for your review and recommending this Amsterdam to Bruges tour on board the Magnifique II to other travelers. We will forward your kind words to the crew and guide and we hope to welcome you again!

We had an amazing week on the Fan y Wapen Frisian. The crew could not have done more. We enjoyed the variety of cycling routes which together with sailing in this beautiful boat, made for a great adventure. We totally recommend this holiday.
Thank you for giving us the perfect rating and for recommending the Sail & Bike Frisian Sea tour to other travelers. We hope to welcome you again!

Excelent tour, guide, eBikes, ship. Food weak.
Thank you for your feedback on the cycling cruise along the Amalfi coast.

Lots of fun on the boat and interesting cycling, not too difficult. Friendly and very helpful crew. Well maintained boat, with clean and compact accommodation and nice food. 50/50 mix of sailing and biking determined by the prevailing winds. Danish locations and bike trips nice and quiet, German places more to see. Nice mix of European travellers with 2 from UK and 2 from Canada. Good cooperation when we had to share tasks. No deck chairs, it wasn’t that type of holiday! I would do it again, especially in the week preceding Kiel (sailing) Week, which was just starting. Mike & Gill
Thank you very much for your feedback on the sail & bike tour Danish Baltic Sea. We hope to welcome you again on one of our Sail & Bike Tours!

A High quality vacation that exceeded my expectations. I was on the Fluvious ship in May 2017 and it was exceptional. The ship was clean and comfortable. I liked that it was smaller (19 cabins) so I got to know others aboard the ship. The staff were professional and knowledgeable. Our guide was also very keen about history of the area and a well organized manager of our group. The bikes were in good working order and the food was also very good! It was so nice to have the balance of exercise with the bike tour as well as cruise the river. I would highly recommend this company and their tours and in fact, I will definitely book a different trip with Boat Bike Tours again :) Lyn Bull – Cobble Hill, BC Canada
