The accomodations were 2 star level poor ventilation and air system rooms very damp and cramped. The food was average but their seemed to be an issue with the amount of food available, their seemed to be some kind of rationing with the amount of food available. The staff was luke warm and somewhat blunt and not really accommodating. The bicycle tour was through Burgundy country but very little wine vineyard tours, I think the selection of sites to see during cycling should be reviewed . I would probably lean towards a 2.5 score on this experience. I would not recommend it to others

Every aspect of the trip was great. Our guides were very helpful, informative and helped to form our group from being strangers at the beginning to becoming friends by the end of our tour. The boat staff could not have been better – great food and service. The Istrian coast was stunningly beautiful. We highly recommend this tour.

Food average was average, snacks after bike day were packaged cookies, windows in our cabin looked like they hadn’t be washed, guides sometimes started the tour again before the sweeper was ready, on change over day they were loading the boat again while we were trying to relax(very unprofessional, should have done it when we were out biking), staff was kind and courteous, Meals had a good variety with lots for those with a bigger appetite, felt like we were on a regimented schedule, never knew what time we were getting back to boat at the end of the day, Rooms always felt damp

We had a great experience. It was our first Boat and Bike Tour so we did not know what to expect. Our guide, Nina, was excellent and tailored our ride to our wishes. The boat was nice and the crew was very helpful. I would definitely recommend the tour and hope to return for another.

This is my third trip with Boat Bike Tours, and all have been exemplary. On this most-recent trip, all went well. Every member of the staff were wonderful, the captain, first mate, chef, housekeeper, and guide. The barge was fine and th cuisine was excellent. The rooms were clean and well kept. Because I am an experienced cyclist, I prefer to self-guide using Ride With GPS, which worked just fine. Using the Ship Finder app allowed me to track the barge and meet it easily.

Great staff, food, clean boat, and value for cost.

This was our first biking trip and we LOVED it! The accommodations were comfy, the food very tasty and the staff wonderful, friendly and went out of their way to accommodate everyone. The daily biking was well organized and the routes, with both the daily map and GPS directions, were easy to follow. We were very happy with the towns we visited and feel we saw the “real” Holland that most people wouldn’t experience by driving the country. We will definitely be planning another trip.

The tour included everything we needed or wanted, and nothing we didn’t. The staff were welcoming, helpful and fun. The accommodations were clean and comfortable. The dinners were tasty and varied. The bikes were fine.

I will talk about the trip itself and the very careful care the crew takes to make our experience over and above our expectation. The crew of 5 gets introduced and right away, you realize you can ask any of them for information. Elke the captain, Monique the hostess, everyone was wonderful. They really helped create a personal experience for each. The towns and countryside we biked through, just gorgeous. Our guide Marcel would stop at pertinent monuments and towns to augment our understanding of history and the importance of certain towns. The travel through historically wonderful small towns is juxtaposed to the larger cities of Antwerp Ghent and Bruges. And countryside, flowers, farms, canals wind mills in between. And whenever someone on the trip needed extra care, they were immediate in their responses. I would be remiss not to mention the gastronomic gourmet meals Chef prepared. Unbelievable.

Great crew, friendly, helpful and spirited. We always felt comfortable in a very clean and well maintained ship. I can’t say enough about the professionalism and enthusiasm the crew showed us always wanting make sure we were happy and taken care of. Highly recommend this fun experience!! Fun biking and sailing every day.
