It was my first experience to boat and bike and it was fantastic. They made this experience so memorable. Beautiful boat with clean and cozy cabins, very friendly and helpful staffs, well organized, and good food. Well done!🙏👏👏

We were on the Flying Dutchman on the Scotland trip of the Inner Hebrides. We absolutely loved: the biking, tours, scenery, extra activities, and guides. Scotland is beautiful and the food was excellent. The reason that this is not a 5 star review is that we found the accommodations on the Flying Dutchman to be quite tight (the pictures of the cabins are accurate) – bunkbeds, bathroom, tight space requiring some agility to navigate. We considered this as part of the adventure!
Dear Sarah, thank you for providing us with feedback to your tour experience in Scotland. We greatly appreciate that you enjoyed the itinerary, and the service provided. It is also great to hear that you still have fond memories of the Magnifique II from your previous tour experience with us. Of course, it is difficult to compare an upper deck suite on board the Magnifique II with the cabins on board the Flying Dutchman as they reside in very different categories within our fleet. One being a deluxe category barge, and the other a classic sailing vessel. With the pictures provided online, we try to convey a very honest impression of the cabins and public areas on each specific boat as these can vary greatly; each with their own charm and target group. We are sorry to hear that in this case the accommodation did not live up to your expectations. Should you wish to book another boat and bike experience with us in the future, please don’t hesitate to contact us for a more personalized accommodation recommendation based on your preferences. We would be more than happy to assist you in this process to ensure all expectations are met for a great travel experience. Best regards, The Boat Bike Tours – Islandhopping Team

I would strongly suggest that more guides be employed for our size group. Two guides for 34 riders is totally inadequate. Asking a paying customer to volunteer to “ride sweep” is irresponsible and borderline dangerous. I rode sweep on two days, one of them without even a radio to alert the guide if there were any issues (there were). Why should paying customers be asked to help staff a ride that they are paying for? Also, guides should be more forthcoming with local history and culture during the rides as they are taking place. This is not possible if there are only two guides, spread out over 34 riders.
Thank you for your review. We appreciate your feedback regarding the number of guides and the safety concerns you raised about riding sweep. We take the safety and comfort of our guests very seriously and will carefully consider your suggestions. We also appreciate your thoughts on enhancing the cultural and historical commentary during the rides and will look into ways to improve this aspect. We hope to welcome you again on board in the future. Kind regards, Boat Bike Tours

Crew was great and the northern Netherlands landscape was incredibly beautiful. Good food and nice people as shipmates. Liked the laid back attitudes and professional attitudes of the crew. I left my raincoat at a local restaurant and ship hostess volunteered to find it and send it back to me in the states.

The crew, the boat and the passengers were fantastic. The accommodations were rustic and poor! I would not recommend this trip to a friend.
Thank you for your feedback. We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the company of the crew, fellow passengers, and the overall atmosphere on board the Sundail during your Italy: Sicily and Aeolian Islands tour. We're sorry to hear that the accommodations did not meet your expectations and will take your comments into account in our evaluation of this trip.

We had a wonderful time on our Boat Bike Tour to Turkey and Greece! The guides–Ali and August–were outstanding and the boat and crew were fantastic–exceeding our expectations.
It was a relaxing week spent learning the culture and history of the area while enjoying our time cycling, swimming and traveling by boat to the various islands.
We also enjoyed getting to know the other guests and sharing the experience with them. We hope to take another trip with Boat and Bike soon!

We had a great experience! The food was fantastic and the bikes were great. Anna was a wonderful guide and so fun to work with. The crew were terrific and very helpful. It would have been helpful to have internet through the trip, but that’s the only suggestion I would make for an awesome way to see a country.
Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear that the food, bikes, and the guide Anna made your trip so enjoyable. It’s great that the crew added to your experience.
