Everything was excellent from the staff to the boat, to the cycling and to the food. The small group on the boat made for an intimate and relaxing experience. I can’t think of much I would change. The one suggestion I have is to provide a little more information as to when and why the cycling itinerary is changing on certain days.

Everything about our recent Boat/Bike experience was A-one! The boat, cabin, crew, bikes, food, all of it: Great. We’d do it again in a heartbeat!

From the moment we were welcomed aboard the Flora, we felt comfortable and cared for. Well organised with excellent communications (to cope with different languages), nothing was too much trouble for the captain, cook, crew, or tour guide. It was a real pleasure and I hope to be able to repeat the experience again (and again)!

There was good communication from the company before the trip to help us prepare and plan approriately. Questions were answered in a friendly & timely manner. Rules and expectations were always clear and specific. Everything aboard the ship was as described. There were no unexpected changes or surprises. The ship crew was friendly personable & and accommodating. Meals were very good and healthy. Plenty of food to satisfy us after a day of riding bikes. Accommodations were comfortable even though the cabins and the common areas are tight. We are used to air conditioning and were concerned about cabins being too warm for sleeping. Fortunately, the unusually cool weather kept sleeping temps bearable. My electric bicycle worked great and made riding in the windy weather a “breeze”. Our tour guide was fabulous. Tami is very personable, positive and accommodating and a wonderful leader. she was clear and specific about the daily rides, yet also open to input from the group. Her enthusiasm kept the group happy and motivated. This was an all around great trip and I would definitely do another trip with this company., and especially with the group guide.

The ship exceeded expectations with very comfortable rooms, good size dining and sitting areas, and a wonderful sun deck. Crew were fabulous, guides kept us safe and entertained. A great package deal!

As always, they ran an excellent and well organized program. Wonderful cycling, gorgeous scenery, fantastic city tours, and service with a smile. They did a great job of providing vegan meals for us.

We enjoyed life on the barge so much – the crew were wonderful And our guide was the best, Francien, she was excellent! we loved the walking tours through the old town too, with Francien. Cycling through the countryside was amazing, but a little tough too with the wind. The food was excellent, and so nice having tea and coffee available all the time! First mate, Krzysztof, was very fun and kept us laughing. Captain Martien, Agnes, and Sara were all so kind and did a great job taking care of us all. We would all like to have Francien again as our guide! We hope to come back again next year! Thanks so much for a wonderful experience!

Even better than we expected, all the team on the boat were so friendly and helpful, the boat was spotless and comfortable and the food was created with care to a very high standard. The biking was not at all hard and was fun, the guides were great taking us off the beaten track to interesting places. Just trying to book another trip!!

Great value and well organised holiday. Nice ship with very friendly crew.

We just finished our 2nd Boat Bike and are planning a third with our adult children. When you consider you get lodging and most of your meals and transportations with guides along spectacular destinations you can’t beat the value. The staff on both boats treated us like family.
