The trip was disappointing because there were so many bikers who did not know how to use their electric bikes and those of us who were experienced bikers (using traditional bikes)were often hurt and knocked over by the “bikers” who were new bikers. Having only one guide didn’t help either. Maybe that could have been better dividing the group into experienced bikers and the ones that weren’t. Also my husband and I were put in a room under the kitchen and that was a lot of noise early morning and late at night. We could hear them walking around and banging pans etc. the food wasn’t that great either. I felt like they could have provided a better choice in lunches: every day it was basically ham and cheeses with barely any vegetables to put on your sandwiches. Fruit was provided but no chips or anything else. Breakfast was ham and cheese also with some eggs and fruit and yogurt.

We arrived at the MS Princesse Royal in Cochem late afternoon after a long flight from the U.S and a long bus ride from Frankfurt, It was good to reach our new home for the next 8 days. Exhausted but happy we were introduced to our new, warm, and welcoming family: Captian Bert, Chef Richard, Boatman Roniel, hostesses Stephanie and Therese, our guides: Hetty and Cory, and our bikes. The next days began early, filled with delicious food, warm sunny weather, healthy exercise, history, and culture. Hetty and Cory led us through divine scenery with humor and grace, answering often-asked questions about where’s the next bathroom break or coffee break. It was a successful vacation complete with delightful memories and dreams of repeating the experience soon.

The ship Magnifique 3 was well appointed, spacious and had excellent staff. Our daily rides usually had the option of a long or short ride, led by a competent tour guide. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had wonderful weather which was an added bonus. It was our second time with BoatBarge excursions.

The staff were outstanding-especially Arnold and Marie Jose. The whole experience was ‘the best’ – the itinerary, the food, the ‘barge’. The details of the experience were all there to enjoy – thx

My boat bike tour to the Dalmatians Islands could not have been better from the accommodations on board, to the food, the crew and guides and spectacular scenery and cycling.
