Lovely boat, food great and plentiful, staff helpful. Rides good and varied. Good overnight stops. Guides helpful and did good city walks in evening. We recommend the trip. Minor complaint in that the actual rides seemed a little underprepared not quite sure if cafes open ( which they weren’t always) could have been more short stops. Make sure toilets at lunch time.But it was the first time this boat has done this route.

The trip was wonderful. The tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable and safe. The food was amazing! This was our second trip with boatbike tours and we are already planning our next one.

Dans l’ensemble très bien. Nous aurions souhaité avoir des guides ayant davantage de connaissance sur les villages que nous visitions. De l’animation en soirée sur différents thèmes auraient été chouette. Le personnel était agréable. Doléance; bien que nous ayons eu un beau souper BBQ sur l’arrière du bateau au soleil, il n’y avait pas de places pour 6 personnes dont nous deux, car il manquait 1 table; inacceptable.

OUTSTANDING Fleur crew and Montargis-Paris guides. This was our 3rd Boat Bike Tour and this one we brought 10 family members. Our trip exceeded everyone’s expectations. Our guides Hilko and William were excellent. Every day they huddled together to plan the next day. They should train other guides. They were masterclass. Stefanie our host/chef & her crew were superb. The food delicious & plentiful. Despite this being a smaller barge, it was the best for cabin & bathroom storage space. Highly recommend this barge and can’t wait to make our next boat bike tour. Lastly, the customer service and responsiveness via email is top notch. Thank you!

The ship Vivienne was amazing . The crew were exceptionally hard working and very friendly The food was 5 star and plentiful. Lesley the tour manager was very helpful and knowledgeable and nothing was too much trouble for him. The only downside was the e-bikes which were extremely heavy and had been downgraded in tour+ mode so there was no extra power to compensate for the weight. Some of the information regarding parking and boat transfers was wrong, and some information about the ship was incorrect.

Where do I begin to describe this wonderful experience..From the time I arrived to board the boat and bike tour I was met with friendly efficient hosts and hostesses that took care of nearly all my needs..They took my luggage to my room to allow me the pleasure of registering and looking around the boat…The registration was straight forward without any trouble, there was a welcoming afternoon drink/coffee in a very well appointed lounge with an informative welcome/introduction/instructions seminar… The room was large with double beds and a large porthole window, a large complete bathroom on the lowest deck. The boat had just undergone a lovely refit recently with all the trimmings of a classy boat/bike barge… The food was extraordinary in it’s variety and content..Utterly no complaints about the food! The dining room staff were also attentive and friendly.. There were no negatives to even consider…I would take all my family and recommend this trip of a lifetime to everyone I know…Thank you for everything I gained by doing this boat bike tour with Rad/Reisen/Eurocycle..via BoatBikeTours.com

The tour guides were friendly and approachable. The bike routes were well laid out and took us through the most beautiful parts of Holland. The food was amazing. The only change to suggest is the addition of face cloths in the rooms along with the bath towels and hand towels.

The crew was all exceptional, from hostess Monique, who kept all things tip-top, to Gert the chef with a great variety of good tasting foods, to our tour guides, Wil and Ester. They shared their knowledge of the areas we travels to make the journey more interesting. Seeing a different culture was very enjoyable. Our room was comfortable.

Fun boat & bike tour. The staff was very pleasant & helpful. We loved the bike routes on this trip.

I am not a biker but I wanted to see the whole river, and particularly the locks, in daylight which is not possible on most river cruises. Everything met my hopes and expectations. The only downside was that we were not able to moor near the town centre at two places which made on-shore excursions somewhat less convenient. The crew were efficient and friendly and the food was excellent, particularly at lunch-time when I was often the only passenger on board. They all took a lot of trouble to look after their only English guest.
