The entire crew, guides, and experiences were outstanding!! Marcel and Janneke were a great team. Marcel did an amazing job of coordinating all the interesting stops and visits during the day. Karin was a superb Mate who was always so helpful and Erik was a great captain. The meals by Talya were on par with a Michelin restaurant. And Jokke and Yitse were also a great team who took care of all our needs when on the boat. Looking forward to booking another trip with Boat and Bike in the future!!

Great experience, organization and boat

Great scenery during cycling days. Nice balance of cycling days and excursions. Food was fantastic and the drink prices reasonable.

Great boat – great cycling – great visits – great staff

My husband and I had a very enjoyable holiday. It was well organized, and the food was amazing what the chef cooked each day. The staff were accommodating and very friendly. The Tour Guides were very good at keeping us safe and informative about the trails we took. We would highly recommend this trip. No complaints that we can think of. Thank you.

Atlantis and it’s staff is wonderful. Maddalena is a good guide. Luca, the supposed sweeper, who stays behind the slowest person (me) and encourages him/her is terrible. He doesn’t show any concern. Three things happened with him: 1) When he needed to help me with a mechanical problem, he did but then a fellow cyclist who joined us had me start on my own. I went the wrong way and finally found the group. My husband was concerned and started looking for me, Luca went with him, seemingly out of obligation. 2) At one point, a couple of days later, Luca guided a group of us the wrong way. 3) On the last day, on a downhill run I was the last person. He passed me and said he’d wait for me up ahead. That is the complete opposite of what a sweeper us supposed to do. Admittedly, I was not at my best cycling ability due to a fall at the Atlantis on the first day. My ankle was swollen and mentally this brought me down on my skill level. A good sweeper encourages and follows. He is tge complete opposite. I’d still like to take another trip with boat/bike tours but not if he is part of that trip.

We absolutely loved our guide, Hugo, on our Boat and Bike Tour in Italy!! He was SO passionate and taught us about so many interesting things and places and yet didn’t bore us with too much information!! He even took pictures and videos and treated us to a movie of our day and then put them together as a gift to us! The other crew members were excellent especially our Chef, Sylvia!! What fabulous food she created for us every day! We loved all the interesting towns we stopped at and going to the Murano Glass Factory, The Cheese Factory Tour and the Carnival Ride Museum which were all very special! The only thing I would say needs improving is the barge itself. It was very old and the bathroom toilet was elevated. Luckily we were not in our cabin much and the crew and the passengers made up for that!! What a wonderful time we had!! We have been on 4 bicycle barge trips and this one was by far our favorite!! I would like to request Hugo as our guide again, what a positive and talented man he is! You are very lucky to have him! Sincerely, Cathy Sevel

The right combo of biking activity and other activities. Loved going through the little towns and cities of Belgium and Netherlands. Felt safe on bikes. 2 countries so bike friendly. Appreciated the other evening activities like beer tasting, chocolate tasting, etc. Tour guides were great. Knowledgeable about the history and made it interesting. Boat staff were personable, helpful (and hardworking !!). Food was great.
