I did what I was instructed to do in regards to downloading the route on Ride With GPS and it did not function properly. We ended either asking people for directions because we were continually lost, and or used Google Maps to navigate. We were told by locals that the Paper Directions were out of order. Either they were, or there was not clear directions on how to use either of them.

What a great trip! The accommodations were comfortable, the food tasty, the staff skilled and supportive, and the bikes easy to use. Learning about this region in France with its focus on champagne production, World War I history, local agriculture, Van Gogh, and so much more was illuminating. Our bike guides took us on a variety of terrains – from small villages to lots of time in the forest (who knew there were so many trails in the woods near Paris!), by castles and along rivers. The biking distances were comfortable – especially with e-bikes! – and the variety of what we saw and did during the day fun. It was a great trip!

The sailing experience and crews efforts to make difficult biking days as good as possible with alternative options

WE had a great time with a really good crew biking southern France. The food was a surprise as it was truly fantastic and our chef from Scotland, Janey, was personable and creative. She accommodated special food needs with a smile. Our guide knew all the ins and outs of the area and we saw some truly world class sights. The bikes were good for the most part. One persons e-bike malfunctioned but we made it through. I highly recommend this experience

The routes were varied and beautiful in unique ways, from elegant urban gardens along the canals, to bucolic, traditional farms in the lush countryside. Our guide was entertaining, resourceful, attentive and flexible, to make our daily rides as dry as possible during rains, adjusted routes during heavy headwinds, and accommodated our distracted attention during interesting side trips!
Our chef was creative and varied in her daily menus, and the capitain(s) and crew were efficient and good natured!

What a great selection of towns to visit and bike routes to get us there! The boat staff was awesome, the food was great, and the amount of riding was perfect. The app with everything we needed to know was so helpful and complete, with excellent routing info for each day.

My husband and I throughly enjoyed our first biking trip along the Danube. The quality of the bikes, the ship, the food, and the level of service and attentiveness were exceptional. We hope to do another biking trip in the near future!

Overall, trip was very good. The meals were great, our accommodations (we bought the superior one with sliding door) were very nice and trip was well planned. I would have liked a herbal tea before bed, but no tea, coffee or other drinks (other than alcohol) were offered in the evenings.
One significant improvement might be to offer another English television channel other than CNN. We are not all fans of America news! Maybe even consider one movie night? Perhaps a good German movie with English subtitles?

What made our experience the best was the customer service—even before we got on the boat. From the very first phone call, it was so refreshing to speak with a real person. The guidance and help we received were fantastic, setting the tone for a truly five-star experience.

Everything was perfect except our room. The staff was amazing, the food was good, everything ran efficiently and was well done. The beds in our room were the most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. The carpet was stained, the door was in poor condition, and the room smelled. We paid more to be on the top floor and we’d requested to be at the front. It was loud! Could hear everyone coming and going all night. Wish we’d known the boat never actually sailed while we were on it. Wouldn’t have wasted money to be up top.
