Fantastic! Fabulous! Superb! Excellent! Outstanding! I’m running out of superlatives to describe the boat, the crew, the itinerary and the guides on this trip from Cochem to Metz and back on the Magnifique III. The boat is comfortable and well maintained; the meals were tasty; the crew was friendly and helpful; the route was scenic; and the guides went the proverbial ‘Second Mile’ for guests on several occasions. A special thanks to the guides for making this trip extra special.

I’ve got a ride booked and need to talk with customer service. No one answers their phone (both US and NL numbers) or responds to emails. I’m terribly frustrated.

Great rides. Excellent food and accommodation. Croatia was beautiful. Blessed with gorgeous weather to boot.

The boat was great. Clean and spacious with lots of public areas to gather. Bikes were well maintained and easy to ride. The weather created issues that the crew and tour guides successfully worked around. The food was great and well presented. The bar was pretty well stocked and the drinks well priced.

Even if you have been on a river cruise before, you will discover that biking the country leads to a far more lasting experience. With e-bikes, only moderate fitness is required to participate. The routes varied from farms, forests, villages, and cities. We saw it all! Boat Bike Tours planned the routes to perfection. The guides were excellent. They were knowledgeable and managed the bicycling with confidence. They made sure we understood the rules of the road. The LaMar was a comfortable ship and easily accommodated the group. First-class meals, sailing, and service – with no buses. We had so much fun and are looking forward to another adventure next year!

This was our 3rd bike tour with boat bike. first 2 were in the Netherlands, this one was in Croatia with a partner of Boat Bike called island hopping. What i liked: – Food was terrific – Boat was excellent – Afternoon sails were very enjoyable What could be better – Maintenance of bikes was not good. We were a group of 32 people who all new each other. On the first day of biking there were numerous issues with the bikes – underinflated tires, wobbly tires, Batteries not fully charged causing some to pedal E bikes with no E, Seats that wouldnt stay in place, someones pedal fell off. – each day the biking seemed rushed. Instead of stopping alot to enjoy the terrific scenery – it felt like a rush to complete the biking – on day 2, people got lost. Not enough corners were placed. too many times people came to a fork in the road with no clear direction – the main person working the bar did not seem that happy/friendly. Each time i asked for a cup of ice or a drink, it felt like i was bothering him. I ended up buying my own ice than deal with him. – Last day of biking was down right dangerous. We left Trogir and crossed a bridge to another island. Road was poor quality and full of traffic. Someone fell and nearly got run over. This day was not even on the agenda – Our boat followed another boat each day. So instead of our boat coming into port each day by ourselves, we always had another boat pull up next to us. An extra 30 bikers. Also was noisy having another boat tied up to us at all times. – Tour guides were OK but when asked what we were going to do each day, they would not tell us anything in advance – very strange compared to my first 2 trips with Boat and Bike. our first 2 trips with Boat Bike were excellent. This one felt like a different company with a different approach and attention to detail. If this was my first boat bike tour i probably would not have done another. I will stick with tours operated by boat bike themselves and not a partner

I call it grown up camp! The organization is great. Our guides Mary Ann and Mariah were both phenomenal! Marnick our Captain was top notch. Jamie Jo our hostess was always on point. Tomek the sailor got it done! And Joell, the chef, made every single meal magnificent! We recommend BoatBikeTours to everyone who will listen.

I had a wonderful time!

Such a fantastic and well-run excursion that we just signed up with Boat and Bike for another tour next fall! Everything met or exceeded expectations. This is a quality organization that cares about its’ clients.

Great boat, guides, and food. 2 suggestions one more day of biking and a close dryer for wet weather. All else wonderful!! Our 3rd trip- yay!!! Thank you. Kit and Sandi Carmiencke
