Had a great trip. Our family was made to feel welcome from start to finish. A child’s special medical dietary concern was handled unobtrusively and with care. Highly recommended.

There wasn’t a single aspect of this trip that did not exceed expectations. The staff were exemplary, the boat was immaculate, the food was varied and tasty and the guides were so resp9nsive to conditions and never showed signs of stress…even when our route had to change dramatically due to the closure of the river. I will be back…I have never felt so well taken care of.

The tour was very well organized. There was no planning needed. The food was fantastic! The captain and the rest of the crew were super friendly and fun. Thank you to the tour guides…so professional!! We are hoping to participate in another tour. We loved it!

I had an amazing holiday. Everyone was very helpful polite and curtious. When it was too hot for me I had a hard time keeping up. A fellow biker offered me their e-bike which I was reluctant to take, never having used one before. I was surprised how easy it was to use. It was a life saver. I highly recommended everyone use the e-bikes.My fears of their weight and spread were soon overcome as they are very controllable.

Great holiday with great staff, great food, great boat, great routes, great guides what more could you ask.

We were extremely impressed with the quality, luxury and excellent crew of the Magnifique II. Unfortunately we were not able to enjoy the entire experience because we had a serious health emergency which made it necessary to abandon the tour. We were so disappointed, and hope to be able to try the tour again in the future. We would like to extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation to Captain Michael and his crew for the professional yet caring and compassionate way they offered their support. Special thanks to Andre our bike leader who was instrumental in getting the medical care we needed quickly. We will never forget any of you!!

The Hansa Highlights was my first Boat Bike trip and it will definitely not be my last. Everything on board the Magnifique II from the accommodations, the crew, the food, the guides and bikes exceeded my expectations. Having worked in the private yacht industry I understand how much effort is made by the entire crew to make a charter work seamlessly. Kudos to all. See you in 2024! Grazie mille, Margaret

This was a fantastic trip that I WILL be repeating. The trip exceeded my expectations in every way. • The food was delicious • The staff was friendly, professional, and helpful • The rural scenery was beautiful and most towns were scenic • Rental bikes were well maintained • The cabin was comfortable and efficiently laid out I was on the Magnifique II for the Hanseatic Cities tour. I chose this trip after discussing with the office staff what kind of trip I was looking for (smaller cites or rural areas). AND I thought that the quality of service and friendliness received via phone and email before the trip could not be exceeded. I was wrong: the staff on the boat provided even better service and went out of the way to make this a pleasant trip.

We’ve done two Boat/Bike tours. They manage to create a cordial atmosphere on board and out biking such that everyone feels connected. The route this year on the Hansa cities tour was super well planned and brought us through forests and fields we would never have found ourselves. Life aboard the Magnifique 2 was, well, magnifique! Gourmet food; extra spacious and comfortable cabins.. in short, a terrific trip!

The crew combination superb! Hanseatic Tour 5/25-6/1. Magnifique II. Capt. Michael, Asst. Thomas, Guides Andre and Edith, Hostesses Alexandra and Jolie, and most accommodating and capable chef Gerhart all combined to provided a first rate and memorable experience. Looking forward to the next adventure!
