Very organized, solid vessel, nice accommodations, good food, good service, good bikes, and I really liked the cycling guides: Carla, Corin and Rico. I benefited from a cruise that was about 1/2 full, which I’m sure enhanced the quickness of the meal service.

Our tour guide Mikela, was exceptional but I think the group could have used a sweep because of the various abilities in the group and some of the challenging terrain (5 kil of extreme mud, broken bike pedal, to name a few.) 2 of our guests took on that role which helped. The staff on the boat also exceptional, friendly, accommodating and kept things running smoothly. The accommodations were extremely cramped/crowded not just the rooms but also the dining tables. You could not get in our out of your seat easily as the space was so tight. One recommendation for the rooms would be to add several hooks to hang things on in order to free up some floor space since there was so little floor space. Also not sure this is possible but could screens be added to the windows to help keep mosquitoes and flies out? We had no A/C the first two nights and it was needed but opening our window brought in mosquitoes. All in all we still had a great time, a lot of fun but I’d never stay on the caprice again. Thank you for a great vacation. The staff, tour guide and all the guests on our boat made it a wonderful experience. Karen.

This was a great Trip. Superb Locations

We had a wonderful week cycling Croatia. Our guides were AMAZING and the tour was truly fantastic!!
Thanks for a great trip!

Ship: Leafde Fan Fryslan (4 mast schooner)
Premium guided biking; Island hopping North Netherlands; May 2025
Our two guides Wilma and Hans were excellent. Choosing a guided bike experience took out the GPS reading option and provided for a more knowledgeable experience. The Bosch E-bike was super easy to use (never used an E-bike and was a bit worried) and useful when the winds blew in the afternoon. The crew of 7 worked non-stop to ensure guests were looked after. Incredibly, it was the first time the entire team had worked together and the next week, it would be another team onboard. Coffee and tea were free all day. The bar prices were very fare (L18 for a wine bottle and L4 for a glass of beer). The hot tub is broken and the spare part from the USA will be a long time coming. Check before you pack a swimsuit!
The only complaint I have is 4-mast schooner and there were days when the sails did not go up due to sand bars, tides and docking positions. On the days when winds were favourable, 2 sails up and motor running. This was a disappointment for me, as I expected active sailing on this ship. Only one sailor and help from the guests (not lacking). If there was 2 or 3 sailors and help from the guests, perhaps more sails could be put up.

Loved the bikes and bike guides. Would have liked a bit more information on the area, traditions etc.

The staff was accommodating. This was our first experience and we had a great time. We’re not sure what we were getting into but enjoyed the experience immensely. I think I will do it again!!

Loved everything about this boat bike tour – the first we have ever done. It was well organised, the guides were informative, the staff helpful and the food amazing. The bike paths were well selected, and each day the scenery was different from the last. Would definitely do another tour

The cycling was great, the cabins on the ship were a little crampled but the communal spaces were comfortable.

Wonderful staff and guides Good food
