The trip was a wonderful experience. The Harmonia was clean and comfortable. The dining area was large enough for the 30 guest on our trip. Our room and bath were nice with storage and a nice shower. The variety of food and the quality outstanding. The staff was always working. One day that I did not bike and traveled on the boat between islands, the staff worked cleaning, prepping meals and making sure the Harmonia was ready for the guests to return. Ivan and Igor did a great job giving information and keeping riders safe. The entire staff was friendly, caring and great ambassadors of the Harmonia. All the passengers enjoyed the welcoming environment. My wife and I totally enjoyed the trip.
Hi Bruce, We are happy to hear that you and your wife enjoyed the trip so much. From your review I understand that the whole picture was right during your boat and bike vacation. That makes us very happy. We really appreciate you taking the time to post a review. Best regards Team Boat Bike Tours

Our National Parks trip to the Dalmatian Islands was all we hoped for. We were fortunate to have four guides (Kristofor, Dario, Tara and Hrvoye) as two were in training. The guides were all very knowledgeable with good senses of humour so kept everyone happy. We explored parts of Croatia that we wouldn’t otherwise have seen and got unique perspectives of the country. The boat crew were also very accommodating and fed us well! I’ve read other reviews where people said to get the e-bikes. I was sceptical as I’m quite fit but decided to go with it. In the end I was happy for it as there are some extended hill climbs that can wear you down! It’s always easy to turn it off when you want to run under your own power. This trip was operated by Island Hoppers but we booked through Boat Bike Tours. This was a very simple process; as easy as a previous trip we had taken in the Netherlands that was operated by Boat Bike Tours. Due to COVID we had to postpone twice and the booking people were very accommodating during that tough time.
Hi Ian, Thank you very much for your positive review. How nice to hear that you had such a great time in Croatia. The National Parks and islands of Dalmatia are also a wonderful area for cycling. I look forward to welcoming you back in the future on one of our tours.

This was one of my best travels ever!! Croatia was beautiful but I feel I would have missed the best parts of the Islands without the crew and guides. Good accommodations, knowledgeable and friendly staff, delicious food….lacked for nothing!!
Hi Paul, Thank you for your great review and positive rating. The trip you took is also called the highlights of Dalmatia for nothing. It is a beautiful area with many sights to see. We really appreciate it that you left a review. We look forward to welcoming you on your next boat and bike tour.

The boat bike tour on the Rhône River was fabulous! The food delicious, Captain Pierre an excellent navigator, Melanie, the tour guide was considerate, thoughtful and a great historian and bicycles were in excellent condition. Definitely a wonderful vacation and experience!

Had a great week on the Princess Royal as an emergency replacement of a trip on the Fluvious which was suffering mechanical issues. Boat and staff were all excellent
Hi Brian, Thank you for your great review and positive rating. How nice that you enjoyed yourself despite the fact that your original booked trip aboard the Fluvius was unfortunately cancelled due to damage to the ship's engine. How nice that you accepted the alternative that was offered to you and that you liked it so much. Thank you again for your review and we look forward to welcoming you on your next boat and bike tour.

From start to finish Boat Bike Tours did an amazing job. Our trip was scheduled for 2020 right as the Pandemic hit, and the company was completely open to giving us a full refund. We chose to hope for the best and finally our trip to Provence occurred in 2022. The boat was clean and comfortable (do not expect luxury, but quite adequate!), and the staff was exceptional. The captain, chefs and tour guide took care of every detail to make the trip so enjoyable. The bikes were in great condition and the routes well planned, the food on the boat was local & fresh, including regional cuisine. We will definitely consider taking another trip!
Hi Susan, Thank you for your great review and positive rating. Glad to hear the ship, food, itinerary and crew on board were all to your liking. We really appreciate it that you left a review. Thank you again for your review and we look forward to welcoming you on your next boat and bike tour.

What an amazing trip. It was truly fun, and all of our friends thought so too. Like almost 30 of them. The crew, from captain to chef to our guides, are now friends. They have a place to stay if they ever come to USA.
Hi Stephen! Great review Thank you very much! We will inform the crew on board that they are welcome to stay with you in the USA. Maybe a nice idea for a team outing :)

Loved almost every aspect of our tour; the touring, the routes, the ship, the accommodations, the food, and especially the service. All exceptional. It was better than I expected, and I expected a lot. We’d love to do it again. My only complaint is they did not have an ebike to accommodate my wife’s short legs. She had to ride a kids’ bike with smaller wheels and wider tires, which made it almost impossible for her to keep up with everyone, especially the ebike riders.
Dear Darryl, Thank you very much for your positive review. How nice to read that the tour you took aboard the Magnifique II was so enjoyable. Just a tip for you future bookings, I see in your booking that you had booked two normal bikes. I would like to recommend that for a future booking you indicate early that you would like to book eclectic bikes. We find it important that everyone has a suitable bike and therefore we advise our guests to indicate at the time of booking what your height is and whether you want an e-bike or a normal bike. This way we can make a good estimate of what needs to be brought on board that week. It's nice to hear that although there was no suitable e-bike for your wife, you both had a great time on board. We hope to see you again, regards team Boat Bike Tours

The trip has been great, great arrangement for daily trips. Decent and easy to understand each trip information. Good map and trip description. Good and comfortable bikes. Very good and comfortable cabin. Nice hosts and good service. Breakfast with the option of packed lunch was very good. Dinner was rather mediocre, not very quality to be hotel class. This should get better. Otherwise well satisfied and happy to take a new trip. Tanks
Hi Jan, Thank you for your great review and positive rating. How nice to hear that you enjoyed your time aboard De Amsterdam. We have heard the feedback about the food more often this year. Fortunately, we are in well contact with the owner of the ship and have expressed our concerns regarding the food. He promises to do better. The owner of boat bike tours happened to visit De Amsterdam last Friday and had dinner on board with the guests. He was already very positive and also provided them with feedback for improvement. I hope we can see you again on board one of our ships. Kind regards team Boat Bike Tours.
