All the crew and our guides did an excellent job looking after our accommodation, bikes and keeping us well-fed with outstanding meals! Our bike rides were well-planned and enabled us to make the most of seeing the most interesting sites on our route! Our guides were very friendly and knowledgeable about the culture and history in each country we visited.

The trip was wonderful. Food was amazing. We enjoyed meeting many others on this trip. Ride was not difficult. More lower gears would have been helpful

We had a fantastic time! Loved the fact that it is a small ship. The staff and the guides were very friendly! Rooms were comfortable and plenty of seating on the decks of the ship It was like riding through a fairy tale when we went through the towns. Hugo was very passionate and full of history about what we were seeing! Food was excellent. Chef presented dinner menu each evening! Please check your policies on the bar bill… the sign in the room states cash or card…. The staff told us cash only…. Regular bikes were adequate, newer hybrid bikes with more gears would be amazing. Bikes need water bottle holders and/or a basket for easy access to water I didn’t try the E- bikes. I would definitely tell people to do this trip and I would definitely do another trip/tour with your company.

This was a perfect trip for us. Each day’s ride was just right. 30_50 K with our great guide. Good was super, other guests run and cabin worked well.

Great trail & scenery & towns. Traveling companions were great, and we didn’t know any of them before the trip. Ilse is an excellent leader. She knows a lot of history and is good at explaining it, so we tried to make sure we rode in her group, as the other leader didn’t provide that same background info. Astrid is an excellent chef; she could go on TV with her explanations of our dinners. The e-bikes seemed fine, but the other bikes could use more attention to the maintenance of the brakes. Several folks had problems with the brakes during the week. And, the low gear on the bikes is not very low, so it’s good that the hills were short.

We have made several trips with Boat/Bike Tours. This year we went from Amsterdam to Maastricht (3 June) on the Flora and Aschaffenberg to Cochem (17 June) on the Princess Royale. The first one we did independently with the Ride GPS app. The guide also gave us some wonderful hints about some “off trail” places we should not miss. He was quite right. Food and cozy room on the Flora. Second one we went with the guide and enjoyed all the sights. Being a premium boat, the food was a bit better and the room was larger and nicely decorated. Staff was very helpful. We enjoyed both trips and will be happy to take more.

Great way to see the countryside and small towns along the rivers. Never stuck in a tourist trap and able to enjoy the natural beauty. The rides are fantastic, best way to see a country. The boat is perfect – has everything you need and moves with you so you only have to unpack once! Super friendly staff and guides – will do another trip next year!

The boat Princess had awful showers. hardly any pressure and reverting from freezing cold to scolding hot ! Not what you need aftwer a good day on the bike. Food barely adequate. Seemed precooked and brought on board with sauces added with artistic presentations. Many guests agreed with this as did SE staff.

Another Great trip with Boat and Bike Tours that took us along the Mossel River thru Germany, France and Luxembourg. The staff were amazing onboard the ship and so was the food. The rooms are small but very comfortable. They refresh the rooms daily and beds were very comfortable. The rides each day, we saw the countryside and towns in all three countries. We ended in Metz and took a trip to Luxembourg City for three days which was amazing. Second trip with boat and bike and both have been good, but I enjoyed the Amsterdam to Burges better. Both trips were on Premium boats which are great.

I have taken friends on 7 or 8 bike/barge tours with Jossie at Euro Sail Travel (eurosailtravel.com) Excellent experience every time. Mary a/k/a Mary’s Mariachi group
