The Boat Bike tour was exactly what we expected. The accommodations were as promised, the food was excellent, and when we were able to ride, the rides were of a length and difficulty commensurate with our expectations. My only complaint is that on ride days, the was a bit too much waiting around for the ride to begin.

My husband and I had a great experience on our bike and sail in the Baleric Islands. We are from the US and in our 60’s and had done several bike and boat trips in Europe but those were on bike trails in flat areas. However, we wanted to experience spending a week on the beautiful Atlantis sailing ship–which was wonderful! The terrain was much more challenging physically and we ended up renting electric bikes, which made it easier. The guides and the crew on the ship were FABULOUS and helped us in all ways with learning how to sail, guiding us on the bikes and serving Fabulous meals! The rooms all had AC and private baths and were adequate. But we spent non-sleeping hours on the inviting top deck socializing, enjoying the great views and lovely surroundings. This is our second trip with Bike and Boat and we definitely want to do this again but will return to areas with easier terrain and bike trails…I am grateful for this wonderful memory which I will cherish.

I had a GREAT time. Be aware though the biking is difficult. I used an e-bike even though I ride at home. Several guests regretted not renting an e-bike. They still had fun but thought because they were “in shape” they could do the biking. Also, some bikers realized they are getting older (me too) and knew an e-bike was appropropriate. All staff are proficient and fun. Last, but not least, the food was delicious. ! Thank you.

Had a great time with routes of reasonable length, god food, varied scenery, reasonable bar prices and kept well informed re next day’s events

What great fun! The crew, the food and the trips were all perfect. The rides were about 30 miles a day – each different. A GPS made following the routes easy. We enjoyed the company of others as well.

Had expected to be off the main river routes, and many more small villages.

Fixed seating at mealtimes was a problem for us. I would much prefer to have had demipension and gone out for dinner at night The food was very basic but adequate. The briefings were generally good. Short and to the point. The maps were good.

Old boat but the staff is very nice and the food is excellent.

Just finished the Bruges to Amsterdam ride on the Fluvius. I can wholeheartedly recommend it – Fred our guide did an excellent job of shepherding 30 odd people of varying cycling abilities with humour and patience. Scenery was great and the flat country meant the kms passed quickly. Food on board the Fluvius was wonderful and there was plenty of it. A broken boiler for a couple of days meant some lukewarm showers but it was fixed and the berths, although cosy, are comfortable and have everything you need. A great experience that left us wanting to try some other boat/bike trips.

It was a wonderful experience and a great guide. We will book again.
