We absolutely loved our guides, Ronald and Hans. Our cabin was comfortable and we appreciated the ac! We wished the dining area had been more comfortable. It was hot and stuffy and, while meals were delicious, they often took two hours. It was hard to enjoy it when we were sweltering. Overall a wonderful experience with terrific staff!

We booked this tour with a group of friends and had a great experience. The crew was fantastic. The guides were friendly and helpful and flexible about the routes. The staff on the boat were super too, especially the chef, Juul, and the captain, Bert. I would highly recommend this trip with Boat Bike Tours.

Fun trip! Beautiful scenery, comfortable beds, tiny shower, good food (could have eaten more). The bikes seemed a little clunky at first but we got used to them. Plenty of rest stops to keep us recreational bikers from overdoing it. Our great guide, Hans, had a lot of first-hand knowledge of the areas we visited.

Excellent week with excellent crew and guides . They worked so hard for us . My 2 suggestions would be large pedestal fans in dining area ( it was so very hot ) and more attention to having tons of cold water available upon returning back from riding .

Very nice trip, great guides. The only complaint that I have is that some more time should be set aside for touring at least some of the towns we went through, for shopping, cafes, etc…

We did the Berlin to Stralsund trip & really enjoyed it. Boat & crew were really good. Don’t expect it to be like a ocean cruise & you’ll not be disappointed. The food was really good, we coughed up the extra for the all inclusive drinks package & thought it good value. The cycle routes were undemanding if you’re a regular cyclist & we’d have preferred a “proper” gravel bike rather than the perfectly OK “touring/town” bike supplied but that’s just a personal preference. All the crew/staff were friendly, polite & helpful. The cycle route guides were comprehensive & easy to follow, plus Rainer gave a exhaustive verbal briefing each morning if you wanted it. All in all we had a great week. Just for info: I’d class it as a holiday with cycling rather a cycling holiday.

Wish our air conditioner worked in our cabin more than the 4 days it worked. When we boarded our room was 26.5 degrees and it took the crew 3 days to fix (not such a hardship under normal conditions but we had a few days at 30 degrees outside). The experienced guide was great. Ronald (new to the business) was just ok. Didn’t realize that a good part of 2 days of biking was going thru or beside very industrial sections of the Rhine. Overall the boat staff were very good, and the bar tender was exceptional!

4.5 stars We enjoyed our trip on the Princess Royal. The tour guides, Arnie and Corrie, were great. The food was excellent. We lucked out on weather and only had to shorten the bike ride on 2 days by only a couple of miles. Only down side was not a lot of storage in stateroom and soft drinks not part of mealtime.

The tour was great. The crew and the service provided were very excellent. The guided route was beautiful and scenic. The bicycle and the support were adequate. The only complaint I have was the cabin being too dark and cramped. My overall experience with boatbike tour was very positive. If the opportunity avails, I will book another tour with them.

Had a great week on the Princess Royal as an emergency replacement of a trip on the Fluvious which was suffering mechanical issues. Boat and staff were all excellent
