I was so impressed with the crew, the marvelous enthusiasm of the guides, and the boat. A beautiful boat of high quality craftsmanship. The countryside was beautiful and the chef Sidi’s dinners were incredible. He even put together a Canadian Thanksgiving dinner for us.

My friend and I had a wonderful experience on our boet5/bike tour from Amsterdam to Bruges due to the excellent boat staff, tour guides, food, and daily organization,bike rides through beautiful scenery on safe bike paths. I would highly recommend the company.

Magnifique 4 is a beautiful boat! Staterooms roomy enough…. We spent little time in the room! Dining room very inviting and all meals just great. Cycles were in good condition and well maintained. Captain and hosts were friendly, responsive, and fun. The cycling Guides were amazing: knowledgeable, personable, fun. The route was interesting and I looked forward every morning to the day’s ride.

We loved everything about our first bike and barge. The staff is a-one.

Our second cruise with Boat Bike Tours surpassed our first. We completed the 9 day Cochem to Metz tour, and really loved visiting the little towns along the beautiful Moselle and returning to our luxurious home for the week, Magnifique III. Although one of our riding days was cut because river flooding closed the locks and the ship could not sail on the scheduled day (circumstances such as this can affect any bike tour on the planet nowadays due to the changing climate), our hard-working Guides and Captain ensured that we would still be able to see the major highlights of the program, including our wonderful guide, Ingrid, leading us through Bernkastel on foot in the evening, and our intrepid guide, Tom, navigating around flooded bike paths. We enjoyed a warm welcome aboard the ship, and dined like royalty on the wonderful 3-course meals prepared by Juul. We know how hard he worked as our cabin was directly under the kitchen, and know full well that he was working before we were out of bed every day. We enjoyed the intimacy of the smaller number of guests onboard, and appreciated the round-the-circle introductions to one another on the first night aboard. All of you at Boat Bike Tours do a great job setting up wonderful programs for some very special vacations.

Amazing trip. Great food, guides and beautiful ship. The bike route and towns were perfect and entire staff was awesome. Booking next years trip already!

Great food, with good service at meals. The bar staff was friendly, though I liked the beer selection more on other boats. Very helpful front desk as well. Funny and informative tour director in Jurgen. I really enjoyed the concert in Vienna and wine tasting excursions as well as the bike tour in Belgrade. The bike rides were beautiful and wondrous!

Excellent food, service, accommodations and itinerary. Crew and guides went out of their way to be helpful.

The tour guides were wonderful. The gps app made the biking quite easy. Only problem was it would tell you your off route but would not reroute you. Food on ship was good, however the afternoon coffee/tea and cake could be better, more variety. Also leave the coffee and tea out for a longer period. Lastly, evening entertainment was non existent. This should have been provided, ie karaoke, bingo, dance, etc. nothing was provided! We has to create ourselves.

Well planned excursions and options, friendly, helpful, and communicative staff, great food, and great company!
