All the crew and our guides did an excellent job looking after our accommodation, bikes and keeping us well-fed with outstanding meals! Our bike rides were well-planned and enabled us to make the most of seeing the most interesting sites on our route! Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about the culture and history in each country we visited.

Excellent,friendly,hardworking, welcoming . and attentive crew. Great tour guides that were organized,prepared,engaged and responsive to clients personal requests. Excellent food. Clean environment.

We were extremely impressed with the quality, luxury and excellent crew of the Magnifique II. Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the entire experience because we had a serious health emergency which made it necessary to abandon the tour. We were so disappointed, and hope to be able to try the tour again in the future. We would like to extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation to Captain Michael and his crew for the professional yet caring and compassionate way they offered their support. Special thanks to Andre our bike leader who was instrumental in getting the medical care we needed quickly. We will never forget any of you!!

The Hansa Highlights was my first Boat Bike trip and it will definitely not be my last. Everything on board the Magnifique II from the accommodations, the crew, the food, the guides and bikes exceeded my expectations. Having worked in the private yacht industry I understand how much effort is made by the entire crew to make a charter work seamlessly. Kudos to all. See you in 2024! Grazie mille, Margaret

The boat bike tour on the Gandalf was excellent! Our guide, Mihael and the rest of the crew were super professional while at the same time made us feel so at home. Our group was truly a community as the tour continued. The food was amazing, you just have to trust me! It’s very comfortable on the boat and the staff does everything to make you feel welcome. There were many side trips and excursions in the little towns that we really enjoyed. The tour inside of a windmill was a highlight! We really loved this tour and we have done other bike tours in the US and in Europe. Hans is quite a wonderful host and Girard, the skipper is fun to talk to and even let some guests drive the boat!

The trip was wonderful. Food was amazing. We enjoyed meeting many others on this trip. Ride was not difficult. More lower gears would have been helpful

Amazing trip on the Danube….crew was great!Leslie amazing tour guide. Food awesome.

We had a fantastic time! Loved the fact that it is a small ship. The staff and the guides were very friendly! Rooms were comfortable and plenty of seating on the decks of the ship It was like riding through a fairy tale when we went through the towns. Hugo was very passionate and full of history about what we were seeing! Food was excellent. Chef presented dinner menu each evening! Please check your policies on the bar bill… the sign in the room states cash or card…. The staff told us cash only…. Regular bikes were adequate, newer hybrid bikes with more gears would be amazing. Bikes need water bottle holders and/or a basket for easy access to water I didn’t try the E- bikes. I would definitely tell people to do this trip and I would definitely do another trip/tour with your company.

SARAH++++Any bike/boat tour is a great experience, this one was especially good because of the people we met, the quality of the staff and the route we took. Our guide Frans was fun, expert, and thoughtful about where he took us in relation to the wind. Thoughts about improvements: in the group was a 12 year old girl who really struggled in the wind with her child sized bike. some recommendation about strength and experience might have helped. The meals were lovely, and fun to share with companions we became good friends with at each meal. The e-bikes were great, certainly for this trip on the flat lands of North Holland. The cabin was exactly as we expected and very easy for us. Even the clothes we washed dried out over two days. We will be back.

Our July trip on the Magnifique III Bruges to Amsterdam was superb. The cycling was very doable even for this 70 year old. Our guides were attentive and knowledgeable. The service on board our barge was “world class” with outstanding meals. Biking through rural areas was peaceful and beautiful, the towns & cities visited were architectural/historical wonders. I highly recommend Boat/Bike tours.
