    Great biking adventure

    · · Holland by Bike and Boat, Southern Tour

    Holland is a beautiful country and there is no better way to see it and experience it than on a bike. We have never been on bike paths like they have, whether in a city or the middle of nowhere. We had great food at our lunch stops and everyone we met, passengers, crew and the locals were friendly. The boat was really nice as were the bikes. We plan to do another trip with BikeTours.

    (5/5) Joe E 4 months ago

    Fabulous Croatia

    · · South Dalmatia Bike/E-bike and Boat

    This is our 4th Bike Tours trip and absolutely the best. The Aegean Sea is beautiful, crystal clear and perfect for a swim after a day's ride. Our home for the week, the Magellan, is a super nice motor yacht. The food was top shelf, as was the crew. The bikes were the best and perfect for the variety of biking conditions. Our guides were fun, knowledgeable and made sure that we had a great ride everyday. After we had a long ride, they would find the perfect spot to stop and take a swim. We took an optional day off from riding to go rafting through the deep and beautiful Cetina Canyon. It was so much fun! We had really interesting, guided, tours of Split and Trogir, both ancient towns dating from pre-Christian time. One day we stopped for a visit with a bee keeper who's family had been bee keeping for 90 years. All in all, this was a really great trip, the biking, the food, the water, the boat, the many new friends all made for lasting memories.

    Great Trip

    · · Provence by Bike and Boat

    Terrific guide, terrific food, terrific tour. I loved the routes. The views were amazing. The riding was not challenging, except for the one climb which was a nice workout. I would recommend an ebike for those less than fit. The room on the barge is a bit tight, but you don't spend much time in your room. I had a great time, and will do it again.

    Better than I had hoped

    Everything about the ship was five star. The food was shockingly good. I had been on other bike tour companies with the food was very good for almost twice the price. The staff were all wonderful especially our waiter Samir. The boat was very comfortable and exceedingly well-maintained. We booked through Biketours.com who did an excellent job. The tours can be booked directly with rad and risen an Austrian company but it was the same price. It was an excellent value and I’m already daydreaming about a river cruise with bike in barge in the future.

    This was a great trip. The guides (Tom and Wilmie) were awesome. The crew on the barge was exceptional as well. They each were beyond accommodating and just pleasant to be around. The rooms were fine , the ac worked well. The only negative was that the dining and lounge areas had no ac, so were virtually unusable during those 100 degree days.

    What a way to meet Croatia. Fantastic bikes, boat, leaders and group. I had just a fantastic week.... from the first tour (a walk around Split) so interesting. Great rides - some long and some shorter - all fun and interesting.... beautiful views. Lucky to meet a lovely group of riders, all keen and on time. The leaders kept us across everything but never overwhelmed us with info.
    Only issue - i found it difficult to locate the boat.... there was no clip board outside on the street and it took 4-5 phone calls with the contact person to finally locate the boat. Others told me they had the same experience. The food was also very good.
