Cycle the Rhine

We had a wonderful time cycling the Rhine. The barge MS Andante was well equipped for the safe care of the passengers. Crew were very helpful, polite and friendly. Some of the directions for cyclists needed a bit of work for accuracy but we felt it added to the fun and mystery of the tour! Instruction was clearly given in all passenger languages. Cabins were sufficiently spacious and private. Catering was great for breakfast and dinner. Lunch was ‘prepare your own take away’ and eaten in transit. This was set up mainly for the European palate, mainly cheese, meat, bread and very minimal salad. (we missed not having more salads!) We would have appreciated being able to freely make a cuppa when one wanted one instead of just the set time for afternoon tea. Enjoyed the opportunity to get to know new people and to cycle with them. Playing cards, games or generally chatting in the evening was fun and a nice way to finish off the day.
