The crew was friendly and efficient. The rides were a manageable distance. Countryside was lovely. Well done

Most awesome crew of Carlos (bike guide), Fillipo , barge captain, Sara, most fabulous chef, and Michela (spelling?) who was new , but super at his job. He was friendly, made great juice drinks, and has great smile! Only suggestion that several of us had was to rate the biking as Level 2 and half, instead of Level 1. Biking thru towns was challenging, (but Carlos was of great help), downhill on gravel roads was not always easy, and the one day with an elevation. I tried an E-bike for first time, and appreciated that you had extras on board. Had gotten muscle cramps, probably from travel delays and temps in mid 90’s (I prefer heat to cold, so was fine), and my upper legs were sore from those nasty, painful quad muscle cramps, thus the main reason for E-bike. Your regular bikes were more comfortable for my being 5’1”, just FYI. Overall, a wonderful experience! Also wanted to compliment Carlos for arranging awesome tours in the towns and for his flexibility on the last day. 3 bikers did the regular route, and he guided the rest of us to the Mediterranean Sea and a smaller group to an interesting winery, with gracious hosts. He was sensitive to what we wanted, spoke great English and other languages, loved his job and I can’t say enough great things about him. Another negative for us US folks (and certainly not your fault) were airline difficulties. We arrived in France a day late and long day of waiting for trains, etc. Maybe contributed to my dehydration, thus muscle cramps. That’s all! Cheers to a trip well planned!

The tour was awesome. Led by our guide Carlos. Great sense of humor and very helpful. Our meals were delicious. We wanted for nothing. Awesome scenery and towns in Provence and Camargue. Aigues Mort was the cherry on top of an incredible adventure

Had a fantastic time Mikala are guide was excellent as were all the staff.

Experience-great Guide-very good Support folks-wonderful including food Itinerary-appropriate and well explained with flexibility Boat-a little small but air conditioned. Would like more space to sit and visit We did enjoy a bit of cruising time that we had one afternoon Extra noted things to see while riding added a lot to the trip. We will definitely consider again for another bike/ barge

We were 18 family and friends on the Caprice beginning our trip May 7. Our week in Provence was wonderful. The barge was clean and comfortable. Our guide, Melanie, excellent. Our chef, Josef, was fantastic: great varied gourmet meals made from fresh ingredients from markets along the way. Our Captain, Pierre, kept us safe. We enjoyed the bicycling through the countryside and medieval towns with many stops for coffee, lunch or to explore the history. When we returned to the barge late afternoon, a snack would be ready. We enjoyed the option every evening after dinner to take a walk with Melanie through the towns we were docked in. Just a completely perfect trip!

The boat bike tour on the Rhône River was fabulous! The food delicious, Captain Pierre an excellent navigator, Melanie, the tour guide was considerate, thoughtful and a great historian and bicycles were in excellent condition. Definitely a wonderful vacation and experience!

From start to finish Boat Bike Tours did an amazing job. Our trip was scheduled for 2020 right as the Pandemic hit, and the company was completely open to giving us a full refund. We chose to hope for the best and finally our trip to Provence occurred in 2022. The boat was clean and comfortable (do not expect luxury, but quite adequate!), and the staff was exceptional. The captain, chefs and tour guide took care of every detail to make the trip so enjoyable. The bikes were in great condition and the routes well planned, the food on the boat was local & fresh, including regional cuisine. We will definitely consider taking another trip!

best ever! will do again.

This was well worth the wait since 2020! The crew, boat, bikes, routes and food were all excellent. Thank you!
