The crew was FANTASTIC especially Marilu our biking guide. Ten stars to Marilu and the crew! The cabins were very small as to be expected. You have to put your toilet paper IN THE TRASH CAN so don’t forget! The food was DIVINE- really top notch. The biking was amazing- I wasn’t familiar with ebikes before we went so I had been training on a push bike getting up to 25 miles a day- not necessary. The ebikes are easy and the guides are very helpful in training you. That being said I wouldn’t do the trip if I had had a recent surgery or wasn’t in reasonably good health. We didn’t get to go the islands advertised because of weather- but the islands we did go to were incredible. GET SEASICKNESS MEDICATION from your doctor before you go- I didn’t know that I would get so seasick since I never had before. You have to wash out your underwear/bike clothes and dry them on the line on the deck so be prepared for that. I would get the hotel transfers next time as the taxis were on strike when we got into the airport- super difficult to navigate. The passengers were lovely but if you’re an introvert be prepared for 24 hour socializing and drinking. Marilu made it so fun with the games and classes. All in all it was an amazing trip and I can’t wait to try another one!

Enjoyed our trip on the Fleur in September 2025. Chef Steffie provided wonderful dinners. The e-bikes allowed folks at various fitness levels to complete 24- to 40-mile rides (our choice) daily. Low water levels meant we didn’t get to tour all of the towns on the schedule, but the tour guides, Monique and Desiree, were wonderfully creative, and we got to know some areas better than we otherwise would have. Quarters were a bit cramped, but that was to be expected. When sharing notes with others on the trip, we found we had a common complaint — the company only communicated with one person in each party. Communications need to be shared with all members of the party. All in all, I had a good time and have fond memories of this experience.

Our guide! Chrisha was amazing. She performed above and beyond expectations. She was poised, smart, calm and had a great personality. She took care of everyone’s needs and she was a lot of fun.

Amazing! The guides, Denise and Jan, were amazing, knowledgeable, and fun! The itinerary was so interesting, we would bike 20 miles and end up at an amazing castle or some other destination. The bikes were top notch, easy to ride e-bikes and they made the 25 to 40 miles per day easy and very doable. The food was beyond delicious every night and the staff very friendly and interesting. This itinerary will be hard to beat but we are in process of booking our next trip with Bike and Boat. Thanks to the entire team!
