Loved the trip-outstanding food. Only complaint-terrible “pillows”. Easy fix for a much better sleep experience

Great route and ship, berths and food (Omg. the food!) were exceptional. More information about the sites could have been better shared by guides although there is a good amount of literature on the area provided. Bring your own water bottle as the one provided is inadequate for cycling.

Wonderful time: superb food, good company, beautiful routes (especially late in the week), and well-planned and executed tours. Early on, I’d have liked less talk and more pedaling, but by the end of the week, I was very happy with the tour overall.

One caveat: we assumed that the boat would depart Venice on night one, so spent a couple of days touring Venice on our own before the trip commenced. When the first day or so of the tour was devoted to highlighting things in the Venice area, we ended up re-visiting places we’d already visited on our own. Other than that, an extremely well-curated experience. Highly recommended!

Excellent crew, facilities, food and bikes. I will do this again ASAP. Loved our fellow biking buddies. Very reasonable biking distances. Occasional safety issues with route which the guides managed very effectively.

Enjoyable guided rides through scenic and serene bike paths and country roads coupled with great food and a friendly crew made this a terrific barge and boat tour. Only drawback was the October rainy weather, and the inability to enjoy barge travel on a flooding river, though cruise into Venice spectacular.
