Generally the bike/boat experience exceeded our expectations. The boat was very comfortable. Dining and bar area spacious and very nice. Food was fantastic, great selection and amazing 5 course dinners. The biking trips mostly well organized, had a little trouble with the maps one day but the distances were very doable with breaks during the day. One day 2/3rds of our group had intestinal issues, so did other parties on the boat. We felt that crew could have made an announcement as soon as we made them aware for strict hand washing and hand sanitizing before and after dining to prevent further contamination. Tour guide made great bus trip accommodations when our boat could not make it to Budapest due to low water. Would definitely consider a boat bike tour again!
The ship was fine, the staff wonderfullly attentive. However when bikes malfunctioned and a virus went through the boat – no one took responsibility for those issues. They also need to have the trail on GPS so people don’t get lost.
Enjoyed the boat and the riding was great with beautiful scenery. The food was also excellent.
This was our 4th bike/barge trip and this was our largest boat. The ship was comfortable and the staff were very helpful. Meals were first class–quality and quantity. Low water levels limited biking some days unfortunately, which can’t be blamed on the tour company, but efforts were made to find replacement tours. The route maps and written instructions could be more clear but the navigating challenge adds to the fun.
Great crew, amazing food, super polite staff. Cruise director needs to be more organized and exercise more tact and patience. Ship needs to declare and delineate more clearly, the role of the cruise director, as she often fielded questions which should had been addressed by the captain. Not a good communicator.
Thanks very much for your review. Team Boat Bike Tours.
This trip was very enjoyable and certainly met our expectations. Bikes were good and the food was good. The scenery is beautiful. Two suggestions are: 1. Include mileage markings on the maps to assist cyclists. 2. Signage or better directions should be provided for getting back to the ship, specifically in Vienna.
Thanks very much for your review. Team Boat Bike Tours.
Really enjoyed the biking and towns we visited. Would have liked more time in towns. Food on board was great. Biggest dissapointment Vienna. Best city Budapest.
