our family was delighted with our vacation with boat bike tours. the program was easy to follow so we could relax. everything was taken care of from the meals to the bike itinerary. i would avoid starting in Saarbruken, as it did not feel safe, nor was it charming (covid restrictions made our trip begin there). otherwise, we loved the route and enjoyed the comfort of the boat. the wifi was a constant issue, so it was hard to check emails and read our news sources, but we were on vacation. just would have been nice to know prior. very well organized and a good value.

Wonderful experience, ended too soon. Hans was everywhere making sure each day was safe and fun. Lost weight and got in better shape despite eating whatever we wanted. Already looking forward to our next adventure.

Although boatbiketours.com had some issues with billing and some computer glitches, they did communicate quickly and resolved all our issues. With 12 others, we booked a bike and barge trip on the Mosel River, From Cochem Germany to Metz France on the Quo Vadis. The trip was absolutely wonderful. Beautiful scenery and great biking. Our captain/owner, his family, our bike guides, the cook,and all the crew were amazing. So very helpful and friendly, and knowledgeable about what we were seeing and experiencing. I would easily look for a trip where Ferry and John, our bike guides, would be working. I feel like they went out of their way to make it a memorable experience. The barge was so clean and beautiful, felt like luxury to me. Exceeded my expectations. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms were air conditioned, which was necessary since the days were pretty warm. Each sleeping room had its own bathroom with shower and we never ran out of hot water. The meals were more than I could ask for. Dinners were gourmet standard. I would definitely suggest a trip on the Quo Vadis and also the Mosel River trip. The only wish I had is that I had had a smaller bike. I’m only 5’2” and their small size bike was still a bit big for me. Could also have used a little lower gearing for climbing hills, although there was only one day where it would have come in handy.

Metz to Cochem on the Qui Vardis was amazing. The boat and crew did such an awesome job. Our chef Inma was as much an entertainer as a great chef. The Moselle Valley is like a storybook or movie set. Beautiful!!

I booked our our trip with 11 other friends, there was a total of 13 of us in our party. We stepped up on the Quo Vadis and were welcomed with open arms. The captain JR showed us to our room. It was just like the picture online, no surprises. The room was very clean along with the bathroom. We met the rest of the crew and started to meet the other passengers. The food was top notch! Gourmet meals, very delicious! The guides are what made this trip so magical. Ferry knew the history and facts behind everything we stopped to see. Really made the stops interesting! Loved our route, lots to see, vineyards and castles and Roman ruins. Even got to see how Brut Champagne is made bottled , corked and labeled. Fascinating! Back to the ship for another gourmet meal. The beds were very comfortable along with the air conditioning in every room. I would do this ride again in a heartbeat, it was that good! Now the negative, I had issues with booking the 13 of us. Invoices were sent out then cancelled and several people kept getting multiple invoices to pay. Made the booking and paying process very confusing on our end. Once we got on the barge and started our vacation I was relieved! Don’t know if I would book thru Boat Bike Tours again, maybe use another trip booking website.

Our boat and bike tour on the Quo Vadis was all we could have asked for: the two biking guides were experienced, knowledgeable, and fun. The staff on the boat went out of its way to meet our needs. The meals were excellent. The boat itself was clean and well designed to accommodate guests’ needs. All of this made for a week of great memories.

Wonderful crew and great accommodations and food. Highly recommend this trip.

Well done- good guide, great sites and bikes that had us upright. Excellent food and friendly staff!

We loved our first bike and barge from Cochem to Metz in July. The food was wonderful, the guide, Thomas, was excellent and the crew was very friendly and fun. The cycling was beautiful with many scenic villages and towns. We would love to do another trip in the near future!
