really great

Excellent cruise!

First-time “barge and bike” style of adventure. The crew and meals were exceptional. The cabins were clean and efficient. Nice to have private shower, toilet, and sink. Our guides were very good. Bikes worked well, but as an experienced cyclist, I was disappointed at not being allowed to bring my own pedals and clip-in shoes. As a result, the shoes I hoped would be adequate were barely that, and I had some unexpected pain in my feet and ankles until I got better at foot positioning. I would not do another trip without my own pedals. Based on this trip, I intend to try a future trip that allows for bringing own pedals, and provides maps and recommended sights/stops for each day so that we might do 45km in less than seven hours. Ugh.

I took family members on the trip and they were very pleased. Our guides were excellent. The food was great. Our server was outstanding.

Fantastic bike/barge tour, food was exceptional and staff was friendly. The cabin was stuffy, damp and very hot. The air conditioning was non existent in our room and it was unbeatably hot until we were given a fan which helped but wasn’t what we expected.

I am a repeat customer (eighth or ninth trip), and that should say it all. Although I no longer cycle much, I enjoy being on the canals or rivers, relaxing, and exploring the towns and villages where we dock each night. I particularly like the small number of travelers, and the crews on each of my trips have been wonderful.

Great guides, excellent chef and a marvellous captain and crew. You are well served.

Metz to Cochem on the Qui Vardis was amazing. The boat and crew did such an awesome job. Our chef Inma was as much an entertainer as a great chef. The Moselle Valley is like a storybook or movie set. Beautiful!!

I traveled on the Amsterdam-Bruges trip with my father and sister on the Magnifique III. We enjoyed ourselves immensely. Our bicycle guides, Tamy and Carla, were supportive, knowledgeable, capable AND very good company for the long days exploring the countryside and cities. They led us to beautiful places and taught us so much of the history and culture that make this a rich place. The Magnifique III is a luxury vessel in every sense. She is well appointed with lovely cabins. The crew made cruising comfortable and seamless. Our chef served plentiful, delicious, healthy meals that catered to a number of dietary need of the passengers. We were met after each ride with ice water garnished with fruit and a light snack to tide us over until dinner. We really were spoiled so that we could concentrate on spending our time catching up with each other!

We so enjoyed our trip on the Magnifique III from Bruges to Amsterdam. The bicycles were perfectly suited for us. The accommodations were so attractive and very comfortable. The crew was very professional and also very friendly. The food fresh, plentiful and delicious. Each day’s bike ride (rain or shine) was exhilarating and a perfect length. We liked being active most of the day. Our guides always stressed safety and so knowledgeable.
