The Magnifique IV is a beautiful boat. The rooms were clean and comfortable. The service and guides were excellent and so accommodating. The chef prepared wonderful, authentic suppers, I especially enjoyed the BBQ one night& so much variety. I would recommend more variety for the breakfast. Also, I think a menu for the supper to show what was prepared would be nice. The bike routes were very nice, plus if we wanted to go individually, the guides were accommodating. We enjoyed the city walks with the tour guide. We had an amazing time and all the passengers were so much fun!

Of course the route is beautiful and it was so convenient not to have to pack every day! Beyond that, the food was wonderful…high quality and beautifully prepared. Being able to experience the area on a bike was just terrific!

My wife and I just returned from a week trip with islandhopping.com, Germany-based company, on the boat M/B Thalassa. The boating is by motor but occasionally they put up the jibsail. It was a great trip with excellent outcomes. Our trip leaders were MaryLu, and Lefteris. They were both excellent in all regards. Perfect English from these native Greeks. Our group consisted of seven Americans, two Australians, and eight Brits. Our group was all over 60 years. It was helpful that everybody spoke English and our group got along totally well without any dispute which made everything a whole lot of fun. The company provided very excellent E bikes that performed very well. The food on the boat is great. I would ve preferred for larger volumes of hot eggs and more fresh fruit in the morning but everybody else on board seem to be pretty satisfied with the fare. Apostoles was the cook, garrulous guy who provided superb lunches and dinners. Rafael and Mohammed were the crew guys who mostly served us and did a great job. Very good English and personable. On this trip you have to be prepared for changes in the itineraries based on weather conditions. I think they tend to be quite conservative in terms of altering the itinerary, but I would not argue with the captain over safety. Our in cabin bathroom was 2/5 stars, very dated, but fully functional. Achilles and Demetrious were the engineer and another sailor. Also very nice but more involved with running the boat below deck mostly. We had one day where we were able to swim from the boat, docked well offshore, which was very enjoyable for everybody. I do wish in the future they would incorporate more of these opportunities, and it really was not clear why they would not. Summary, it was a five star event at what I think is a very economical price for what you get. We were just on the boat tour not the Athens tour.

The tour had fabulous food, staff that care, facilities that were clean and tidy, better and more variety in the scenery and overall a very positive experience. This is our second tour with the Magnifique III (first time through Belgium and Netherlands) and now the Moselle River. The second tour outshone the first based on the tour guides and the variety in scenery.

Good,clean accommodation on the boat. Bikes fine for the distances completed, changed to an E Bike part way through the week, very satisfied with that. Food was good Negative was the available choice of beer on tap.

The staff were friendly and helpful as were the tour guides The rooms had great storage space The breakfasts were excellent but could have had a better variety of cheese considering we were in Holland.

The captain & staff on the Flora were very accommodating making cruising down the Moselle & Sarr a relaxing & enjoyable experience (9/9-9/16/2023). The captain was not only knowledgeable about the river but also about bicycle. The dinners were like a five star restaurant quality. Can not rave enough about the vegetarian meal that Jonas prepared. The whole boat/bike experience was beyond my expectations. It truly was a memorable holiday that I will be sharing with family & friends for years. The guide Francine even taught me a new game that I can hardly wait to share with my family & friends. Doris Takayama

We had a wonderful experience on the Flora. We rode along the beautiful Mosel River making stops at charming towns along the way. The boat captain, his assistant, our tour guide Francine were terrific. The cook, AMAZING!. We had fabulous meals on the boat. I can honestly recommend this trip to those who love the fresh air and want to spend time touring at a relaxed pace.

Guides went out of their way to accommodate. Vegetarian menu was weak and needs improvement.

Very nice vessel, spotlessly clean, and air conditioned. Interesting, scenic routes; very good food and plentiful snacks. Knowledgeable and friendly guides and staff, relaxed vibe on board, good bikes and helmets provided

The biking trails in Europe are way superior to that of Canada. The scenery! Our tour guide was a bit of a history buff and the extra tid bits were intriguing. I would do another boat bike tour in a heart beat! The food was amazing. I can t say enough good things about it.

When unexpected things happened, the crew and guides were able to pivot and implement alternatives with almost no disruption for guests. This is the sign of an outstanding company. Would highly recommend!
