We just got back from a week on San Snova exploring the southern Dalmatian islands and had an amazing time. The boat itself is beautiful and the crew work so hard to keep it clean and in good condition. The food was excellent and top marks go to the chef, assistant and waiter for managing smooth meal times with amazing food. The tour itself is well planned with opportunities for swim stops towards the start of the week as well as carefully planned cycling routes both on road and for mountain bikers (not advertised on boatbiketours). The guides encourage and motivate you with the constant and long uphills. There are many steep descents with drops at the side of the road, so if you don’t like long uphills (7km at 10% for example) and steep hairpin descents then this is not the trip for you. The views make it worthwhile and cycling through the aromas of rosemary, jasmine, lavender and pine is a real joy.

The crew were very welcoming and accommodating when we needed to drop off the bags early. Our guides, Paul and Andre, were knowledgeable and ensured we were all enjoying the bike ride. The crew were attentive and we always arrived back to the boat to snack and rooms ready for another night. Dinners were tasty and varied each night and breakfasts always had a special baked goodie. All in all a wonderful experience.

Great guides, equipment, food and scenery!

Great tour, very well organized. Local boat and local crew. This was very different from our previous experiences with Boat and Bike and so much more pleasant and interesting than travelling on a boat chartered from a foreign company. We cannot stress enough that the entire crew was extremely devoted. The captain Eelke, doing his utter best to make the trip as confortable as possible. The ship’s boy Glenn, taking care of our bikes and so much more. And special thanks to our hostess Monique, always there and always available, and the chef Ruben who cooked healthy and awesome meals and pastries every day. Small group of people and self-service at the bar which makes it feel just like home… The only small suggestion that we could make is to maybe indicate, during the presentation of the next day’s circuit, the places where one can have a drink or food. The circuits pass through many beautiful villages but several of them do not have any cafés or restaurants or sometimes these are closed due to local habits (e.g. closed on Mondays).

Great pre planning. Great information prior to each day of cycling. The zGOS APP was invaluable. All staff top to bottom were courteous and helpful. Great cabin accommodations. Excellent food. Need to let people know that cars, trucks, motorbikes and bicyclists DO NOT YIELD. They will run into you.

The guides on the boat were great. Matya and Kristopher. We had a cabin below deck that smelled of exhaust when the engine was running. Roko did an amazing job bartending and serving food alone and was finally helped at the end of the week. I would definitely recommend opening the dining room windows or offering outdoor seating for meals. Food was ok and e-bikes were great. Croatia was beautiful and would love to visit again

The crew on the Fleure was fantastic. Of course the countryside was amazing. The trip guides were new to the cycle routes which sometimes lead to interesting detours. The e-bikes and regular bikes were in good shape.

Loved the riding and scenery. I personally found the navigation a challenge at times due to only speaking English.

We especially loved our guides. They were so kind , informative and entertaining. The scenery was breathtaking. Food and service was excellent. Everything was spotlessly clean.

The guides, food and staff were all excellent, courteous, informative and fun to be with. One consideration is to make the cycling groups smaller and we were bunched up at intersections and bridges and a few cyclists were having a difficult time with the congestion.
