Everyone on board was very nice. The rides were fun. The Dinners were fantastic great job. A few constructive comments I can make is send out the links for the rides ahead of time so they can be downloaded at home. Beer prices onboard were fair but the amount of soda very little for 3.75 euros was crazy.

A trip of a lifetime on De Willemstad. The self guided biking tour was amazing passing through beautiful countryside with many windmills and farmlands, as we ate our way through restaurants and cafes in the little villages and towns along the way with no shortage of ice cream shops. The service on the ship was impeccable under the guidance of Lucian who is the perfect concierge and the servers at our table Irina, Maruni and Ionthe (I hope I got his name right) treated us like long lost friends and were very quick at servicing our needs. Food was also very appetizing and adequate. Definitely a trip that should be on your bucket list with Boat Bike tours. A++

The ship and cabins were vey comfortable.
The crew was great, the food fantastic, the routes were well planned.

Our guides and the staff were organized and very personable. The routes chosen were interesting and so scenic. We were always safe and well prepared. Our accommodations were always clean and comfortable.
The chef prepared delicious meals and desserts. We totally enjoyed our experience and hope to choose another adventure with Boat Bike Tours in the next year!

Boat air conditioner did not work despite saying we were in an air conditioned room. Air conditioning didn’t work in any of the rooms. Pubilished itinerary wasn’t follow we only visited 2 of 6 island promised. Weather was used to shorten distances vessel traveled saving the captain/vessel a ton on fuel costs replacement islands were less than desirable. Watching the weather on the internet the captain could have gone to the other 4 islands with some modifications but chose to save himself some money and work by shortening the distances traveled. Fully a bait and switch to the owners benefit.

This is our sixth adventure with Boat Bike Tours, and it is probably one of the best times we have had despite the wind and the rain on one particular day of biking. The sailboat was a beautiful refitted Barquentine with spacious comfortable public areas. The cabins were a bit small, but we did not spend much time there. We had knowledgeable and friendly caring guides, and the group of bikers was one of the best because each person was an experienced biker with warmth and consideration for others. The bikers were from all over the world, and we spent quite a bit of time laughing and talking. I cannot say enough good things about the crew not to mention the exceptional chef who provided the most delicious meals. The bikes were in excellent condition and the routes were well planned and not difficult. The entire boat was kept clean by the crew. The captain gave us quite a bit of information about the boat and about our itinerary. It was a wonderful adventure.

Staying on a barge was great and meals were very good.
The test ride didn’t happen which would have been good to get used to bikes. Daily briefings could have been more in depth, with some days the guide had not been supplied with correct maps/routes to display.
Bikes were surprisingly comfy and good.

Great crew, interesting stops to bike. We enjoyed the day the sails went up and being able to ride the zodiac around the ship.

Did the Turkey and Greece tour. What we didn’t like was having to fly to Bodrum to pick up the boat, stay overnight in Bodrum and then have to go through Turkish and Greek passport/boarder controls twice the next day. It would have been far easier to start the tour directly from Kos and we could have started a ride in the morning. On the penultimate day we had to leave Kos at 1.00 pm to go through customs once again not allowing for lunch in Kos. We also had to pay an extra €500 to cross between Turkey and Greece waters. I was also asked to pay €70 extra because I can only eat gluten free food. The only gluten free food I was offered was bread on the first day which was inedible so told the staff not to give me any more as it would just have been wasted. I always take my own gluten free breakfast cereal. Other than these negative points the food on the ship was excellent, all the staff and guides were great, and thoroughly enjoyed all the cycling and swimming. The e-bikes were of a very high standard and far superior to any we have used in the past. If it was not for boarder control we would be giving a much higher score.

Absolutely great rent company, 5 stars
