Find a Boat and Bike Tour

Under full attention and help during the tour.. nice places !!! Everything was perfect!

Small boat. Excellent leader.

Just finished a boat bike tour in Southern Holland. I am not a regular cyclist, so I was a bit unsure of my ability. With the help of an e-bike and the staff I thoroughly enjoyed my week. The company was fantastic, food was good and beautiful scenery along the way. Everything we needed was provided. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was my 5th B/B tour and this trip was a little lower than the others in quality. The crew was fantastic – every one of them – but the food was obviously store-bought instead of being made on-board, the lack of Chef curated meals was obvious to veterans like us. Also – and this is big for many of us – this was supposed to be a bike AND boat tour – but this was a boat/bike/bike/bike tour. Other than the cruise the first day, we did not cruise again!!! We started every day where we stopped the previous evening and never had a chance to enjoy the lovely cruising available on those canals and rivers. Finally, although a lovely, friendly woman, Olga was not “up-to-par” with the other tour leaders we have experienced. She tried but just didn’t have the answers to issues or present the daily briefings very effectively. On the other hand, the app is BETTER THAN EVER! Really makes it easy.

The bike tour itself was well done with GPS guidance. Our e-bikes were fine, the accommodations were cozy but manageable. The food was excellent and the crew did everything they could to give us a great experience. We will use Boat Bike Tours again

Just finished our tour aboard the Ava Maria from Venice to Mantova. The vessel is a great custom design and purpose built for doing bike tours. State rooms are spacious with comfortable beds, well designed storage that enabled to be able to completely unpack. Suit cases have lots of room to be stored under the beds. Nice bathrooms with a very well designed vacuflush toilet that can be used like your toilet at home. First time I have seen a marine toilet system work so well. Our guides Alex and Elana were a fantastic team. The kept our large group of 32 riders safe. There were no accidents, mishaps, flat tires or breakdowns. Alex was by far the star of the crew. Years of bike guiding experience, went the extra mile in customer care and made the trip very fun. New bikes. We had e bikes and was very impressed with how light weigh they were, lots of quick adjustment features for a great fit. Best coffee machine in over 17 small group boats I have been on. “17 tours”. Meals at dinner were ok but 2 meals are fish only. So if you do not enjoy fish please let them know in an e mail before the trip. You make your own lunch that included fresh buns and breads, chocolate bars and fruit. My only small complaint that there were 2 sets of salt and pepper on the table at dinner but none at breakfast.This was brought to the captain’s attention but failed to happen. 1 salt and one pepper located at a very busy morning buffet held up the line. Captain Richardo was very good and worked harder by far than any crew member. He also helped out in the kitchen and serving meals. He bake his mother’s dessert recipe that was fantastic for our final meal. The sauce contains lots of alcohol so is your us and don’t drink it can be a challenge.
