This was a wonderful trip from start to finish! The pre-trip planning and information was complete and relevant. All our questions of what to bring were answered and details for what to expect and what will our biking experience consist of were provided. This was one of our best trips! The accommodations were wonderful and the food superb! Fresh and creative for all our meals! The guides were great and the biking just wonderful countryside riding. Thanks!!!

Excellent experience from the the launch in Amsterdam to the arrival in Bruges. Many great people on board, the crew was spectacular and enjoyed every minute.

Fun group of mixed nationality and ages. Crew was friendly and very willing to help. The ride route was easy and always interesting

This boat and bike holiday was by far the best vacation I ever had Everything, from the tour leader, bikes, the meals, the crew and the cabin, as well as the route and places visited, exceeded my highest expectations! I can honestly recommend this tour to anybody I am looking forward to my next boat and bike tour

We had a wonderful time on the magnifique II. We were on the tour from Amsterdam to Bruges. The weather didn’t cooperate but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the crew and passengers. We Biked in all types of weather and had a great time. Tom and Hester were knowledgeable guides and pointed out many points of interest. The terrain is very flat so it is easy biking. Be sure to wear sometime of padding or bring a gel seat…….a day on a bike can leave your bum a bit sore. The crew was helpful and nice. Ingaborg and another gal were helpful and delightful. Michele the chef created some wonderful meals in his small kitchen! Breakfasts were good with a lot of variety. Meats, cheeses, breads, bakery, salad, eggs and other goodies. I would sign up for another tour with this company. It was a great value and fun. The rooms were clean and functional and nicely decorated.

We had an excellent crew and tour guide. Attentive and friendly. Great accommodation, great food and great friends. The cruise and bike ride down the Danube from Passau to Vienna is very scenic.

Our family (including teenagers) had a fantastic biking experience on the Olympia and we have been very impressed with the quality and service. We recommend without hesitation!

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.
