We had a fabulous time on our bike and sail. The crew was fun and amazing. The bikes were well maintained. I would definitely go again.

Our cycling trip from Metz to Cochem was beyond our expectations. Although the weather didn’t want to cooperate, we enjoyed every aspect of the trip. The staff and crew of the Magnifique I went above and beyond to ensure our vacation was over the top. The chef was amazing and the crew spoiled us every day. We can’t say enough good things about this adventure and we will definitely plan another with this group.

We enjoyed the ride and the stops we made along the way. The food was good but not exceptional. Breakfast and lunch were basically the same thing. Dinner desserts were very good and we also really enjoyed the themed dinners with a wide variety of food to choose from.
The staff were fun and efficient, I enjoyed them all. My only suggestion might be regarding safety while riding to ensure everyone is aware of what they will be facing on the ride as well as ensuring the group is relatively together.
Would definitely continue to recommend bikeboat options and this tour:)

In my opinion, biking and boating travel offers the best options to explore out of the way places while having a traveling “hotel”. And this trip had all the advantages. It held high marks for the locations, weather(perfect sunny70’s), fresh and flavorful food and professional and responsive crew who added stops for swims off the vessel, adjusted the trip for our comfort and performed their duties admirably. Our bike guides were super fun and informed with knowledge and history of each island we visited. Offered fun activities during our down time on the boat too. Relaxed atmosphere on the vessel with lots of common area for the @20 passengers.
Two tips: the aft cabins 6-10 are problematic due to proximity to the diesel engine. Noisy and smelly from the fumes. It’s an old wooden sailing vessel after all. Beautiful but has old systems. Avoid these if you can. Or sleep on the comfy outdoor deck!!
Suggestion regarding refreshments: only offered one mediocre red wine and one white the whole trip. Either offer more or allow passengers to bring their own, with a lower corking charge.

Great Staff, Great Participants, Great Food, Great Boat

Great bike rides mostly. Challenging but doable. Welcome but too short swim stops. Unfortunately most days were hurried and a tight schedule to be kept to move the boat. One day we only had a really short ride and 2 long sea passages. Food excellent . Crew nice. Scenery stunning . Group of interesting people.

Loved the guided bike tours through the Belgium and Holland countryside.

Boat Bike Tours kept us up to date with all information. Any questions were answered in a timely manner. The barge was as described, in fact, better than we expected.

The boat, crew, e-bikes, bike guides, food and the islands we visited were all outstanding and highly recommend.

From the ship, the staff, the experience and the lovely people we met. It was a perfect vacation for me and my family.
