    Fantastic Holiday

    Ionian Islands Multi-sport Family Cruise

    I had a great time. Tour guides, Chryssa and Katerina we knowledgable, helpful and lovely. The crew were very accommodating and helpful. The food was great. I loved swimming straight of the boat into that lovely water. I would definitely recommend. The rides are short as advertised, but unless you are very good at steep hills, get an ebike.

    Cruise not my thing

    Danube Discovery: Bike and Boat through Enchanting Capitals

    Too much time on boat, not enough time exploring on land. Would have liked more time to be able to see the sights.

    Fabulous trip!

    Danube Delights: Biking through Four Countries

    What a great way to visit four countries and bike through the lovely countryside. We chose to follow the map on the app ourselves and not have a guide which worked perfectly for us as it gave us more freedom to set our own schedule. We thoroughly enjoyed Leslie, our cruise director, who was full of energy and made each person feel special. The electric bikes were great quality and the crew did all the work moving them on and off the boat for our rides. This is a great introduction for us to the bike and boat world!

    Lifetime Memories

    Danube Discovery: Bike and Boat through Enchanting Capitals

    Wow! - what a fantastic experience gliding down the stunning Danube. The itinerary was first class - our bikes were just great while the accommodation, meals & service on the 'Manon' were all excellent. It really was an experience of a lifetime riding adjacent to the Danube on high quality pathways a lot of the time while also exploring some stunning sights along the way including some gorgeous towns.

    Fabulous trip!

    Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique II (and reverse)

    Celebrating my 70th birthday on Magnifique II was a special surprise! Everything on board was above expectations. Clean, comfortable, invigorating. Meals were first class!
    I would recommend bringing eco friendly containers for lunch items as you will prepare your own lunch to take with you on the ride.

    Bike guides were informative and knowledgeable about sites and enhanced the experience.

    Definitely recommend!

    Fascinating Tour in Northern Germany

    Northern German Odyssey: Bike, Barge and Cruise

    This was a fascinating overview of eastern Germany, with the addition of a couple days in Poland, where we learned so much about the GDR era. The Merlijn is a beautiful ship, and the crew catered to all of our needs. The guide was an upbeat, knowledgeable Dutch woman who kept us laughing. The bicycles were perfect for the job. And the meals were heavenly!

    A bit of everything!

    Paris Highlights Bike Tour

    An incredible way to experience this beautiful city - fresh air, history, architecture, fresh produce, the Olympic spirit! What an amazing day with Min - the best guide ever!

    The best boat of any bike and boat tour I have bookd via biketours.com

    Northern German Odyssey: Bike, Barge and Cruise

    Mainly a tour of the countryside of northeastern Germany. The boat was built about 100 years ago. It is evident that the boat has been totally remodeled. The cabins are very large with lots of open space. The bathroom was about the same size as on other boats. The food was well above average for bike tours I have taken in the past. The bikes used appeared to be new for the current season but were a bit on the heavy side. The bike route part of the trip contained more sections with pebble or uneven stone pavement surfaces than expected.

    Best way to see the area

    Alexandria Mount Vernon Bike & Boat Tour

    This tour is the ideal mix of active exploration and leisurely enjoyment. Our guide was informative and engaging, providing fascinating historical insights. There's no better way to explore this area. Plus, the waterfront in Alexandria boasts plenty of great restaurants.

    Make the most of Mount Vernon

    Pros and cons, as in most tours

    Prague - City of a Hundred Spires Bike and Boat

    Pros: Flawlessly organized, excellent food options, very attentive service, comfortable cabins, excellent choice of cycling itineraries.
    Cons: 100% of passengers were couples (50 yrs+), no possibility for changing tables at meal times for a variety of interactions, lack of events to encourage mingling/meeting others.

    Wow, let's keep pedalling

    Danube Delights: Cycling and Cruising in the Footsteps of Royalty

    Great trip. These people understand good service...by everyone, in all areas, and it's pitched at just the right level. Combine that with great food at every sitting, with plenty of choice, and that fuels you for a ride that is one that everyone should do at some point. The river and its many villages is beautiful and the cycleways are in perfect condition. Our group ranged from 'haven't ridden in 30 years' (an e-bikes) to 'regular road cyclist' (on regular touring bikes) and the ride was enjoyed by all...we'll be back for more. Highly recommended.
