We met some nice people.

The boat is quite nice and the renovated rooms are very comfortable. Fortunately we had a room where both the heating and air conditioning worked. Other people in our group were not so fortunate and the staff on board were unable to rectify their problems. We cycled thru some beautiful countryside and the distances were good for us. We would have liked to be taken to more highlight locations where the guide was knowledgeable and able to present a good summary of the history and features. Our guide really struggled with the English language to the point that I usually didn’t bother to try to listen. More time with a good guide in the Towns and Cities would have been nice. Unfortunately there were some extremely slow riders in our group which limited the time available for sightseeing. The chef was very capable and did a good job on a limited budget.
