★★★★★ Gail 2 weeks agoGreek island adventure
· · Greek Island Adventure by Bike and Sail
Boat was great! Crew and staff were amazing especially Lina our cruise director and Alex our bike guide.
The food was good and healthy but all meals were served buffet style which was a disappointment considering the pictures on the website and the fact that we were on a luxury boat.
The company needs to do more work to organize itself for bike tours. The trips were not well planned out in advance, there were a few minor breakdowns, only one guide, there were not enough paniers for all the riders and there was a daily expectation for us to return to the boat for lunch each day. This is difficult when rides start mid-day. The staff were very good at revising tours on the spot based on comments of participants and providing us with sandwiches some days.
Also not ideal was the fact that there were office staff and owner family and friends who did not mix with the paying passengers, even when we tried to engage with them. They were not cyclists and spent their days in the ports sightseeing and had 2 tables exclusively reserved for each meal on the boat. When one of our American friends tried to sit at their table the person said “no Americans”. This was very rude and disconcerting. It made the experience on the boat a little weird.
We were supposed to go through Corinth, but the canal was closed just before our trip so this was disappointing, but not the fault of the company. The boat had to travel much farther than originally planned and travelled often overnight.
All in all it was not quite what we were expecting, but we loved the boat, we had excellent service and we made lasting friendships with other participants.- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ Scott Lyon 2 weeks agoWonderful trip, beautiful country.
· Portugal's Atlantic Coast
We had a great time seeing Portugal. The sights, people, food and route were all wonderful. The coastal towns had jaw dropping scenery. Obidos and Sintra were picture postcard perfect. An extra day in Sintra to see the castles is a must. We rode premium road bikes through challenging climbs. Only the uphill Sintra cobbles required walking the bike. Well organized tour

★★★★★ Lucie B 2 weeks agoDalmation Coast, Croatia Boat and bike - a unique experience!
· · Pearls of Dalmatia by Bike and Boat, Romantica
What a wonderful way to see this part of Croatia!
It was a unique experience for us. I liked the combination of an active component to the holiday and cultural experience. Living aboard a mechanized sailboat while exploring some of the Dalmation islands was a great way to combine sightseeing with accommodation. The bike and tour guides, as well as boat crew were wonderful and did all they could to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour.- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ Christopher 2 weeks agoFirst Rate Bicycle Tour
· Castles and Wines of Portugal
The tour company provided excellent service on our guided, group tour in early November. My wife and I were the only two people on the tour, but the tour went ahead with a van and at least two guides every day. Our tour was at the end of the dry season and the landscape was parched. We encountered some rain but most of the time the weather was excellent for cycling. The tour company was very good at accommodating customers bringing their own bike. The company's ebikes also were very good bikes for the terrain. I highly recommend this tour.

★★★★★ Rochelle and Pierre van Niekerk 2 weeks agoDanube 2025
· Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
Great adventure and well organized trip.
Hotel were perfect and we had no issues with finding the accommodation. One small issue was the that the published route length is stated as approximate, as it depends on the availability of Hotels for your trip. On one occasion we had to travel two towns further and after a long, bad weather day, this was very uncomfortable. Quickly learned to google the distances from Hotel to Hotel.
Wish we would have ordered e bikes from the beginning, as daily route distances are long for the first week (Section Passau to Wien) with the better pace you travel on a e bike it leaves more time to explore the town you visit overnight and on bad weather days (we unfortunately had plenty) the time spent on the bike in bad weather is less.
Could not fault the tour operators and we thank you for a wonderful experience. Will gladly recommend them.- What was the date of your tour?

★★★★★ Snezana Papovic 2 weeks agoBeautiful day with excellent bike tour in this magic city
· Bruges City Bike Tour
It is the great way to see and expirience this lovely city because you have enough time to see all main landmarks and also to hear some interesting stories and historical facts from your guide. Our guide Kim was very proffesional and helphful, she knew so many about Brugge and Belgia afterall, so it was as interesting as it was instructive. I would recommend everybody coming here for the first time to enjoy exploring city through this bike tour.

★★★★★ Jacquie V. 1 week agoVienna city tour
· Classic Vienna Bike Tour
Had a delightful bike tour around Vienna with our guide Sebastian. Was a little alarmed at first as had reserved e-bike but turned out bikes were manual. Sebastian assured me it was an easy ride and he was right! I was quickly refunded the difference for the e-bike cost so in the end it was no problem at all. Group was small and we rode all over the city stopping at all the key sights. Would highly recommend!

A treat for the eyes
· Danube Cycle Path Passau – Budapest
I did the last tour of 2025, in October. I went with my sister (we are in our 50s) and my daughter (in her 30s) and we used ebikes. The autumn colours along the way were magnificent. We did get a lot of rain on the first day, and a small amount on the second but otherwise we got lucky with the weather. I wanted to do this type of tour in which you are not riding with other people because I prefer to take my time and not have to worry about holding other people up. There was another group of women we saw sometimes along the way, and got chatting to them sometimes, mostly at breakfast but once along the way. That was nice, and my daughter exchanged socials so she may have made friends.
The path from Passau to Vienna is fantastic, and I reckon I could do that again, maybe on my own and maybe even on a regular bike. After Vienna it's a bit rougher, particularly in Slovakia. We were worried about the bikes over one particularly bumpy patch, but we figured they wouldn't be sending the bikes there if they didn't think they were up to the task. And they were, so all was well.
The hotels we stayed at were very good, for the most part. We chose category A due to the higher number of spa hotels. They didn't all have a spa, and they didn't all have lifts either, so bear that in mind when packing. Yes, they transport your bags (chef's kiss on that) but you have to get them to your room. Some of the rooms in Austria were more suited to couples than to mother and daughter due to having bathrooms with glass doors, but we just had to make sure we were in a spot out of eyeline when the other was using the facilities.
I absolutely loved this trip and sometimes get a bit sad that it's over. -

★★★★★ Elizabeth Gomm 4 days agoA brilliant tour
· Cycling the West Balkan Triangle
We had a fabulous tour with Alex our tour leader doing a great job as our guide while Gari was a terrific back up driver. Both were extremely helpful and good company. We used electric bikes and are glad we did as there are many steep hill climbs and descents on this tour. The scenery is wonderful and travelling through three countries was a real treat. We arranged a rest day in Kotor which was a wonderful break in a very lovely setting. The scenery along the whole route, perhaps particularly in Montenegro and Croatia, is stunning and the tour took us on many interesting and good roads, and, while there were occasional very busy roads, Alex and Gary managed our passage extremely well. The meals provided, especially the lunches, were terrific and much better than I had anticipated, with different places selected including a winery, olive grove and standout cevapi restaurant in Bosnia.

★★★★★ Linden 3 days agoA different view of Italy!
· · Venice to Mantova by Bike and Boat (and reverse)
We took this adventure Mantova to Venice and we are glad we did. Mantova is lovely and has a very long bike trail that comes from much farther to the North and West. Our biking around the lakes and along the Po and Adige rivers basins was very pleasant and comfortable on dedicated bike trails with very little elevation gain, mostly on bridges or overpasses for short distances. This is our kind of trip, nature, no stress, stops in interesting places. The guides were fantastic: thanks Francesco and Stefanya! The boat was very well cared for and comfortable and the dinners were rave worthy. The only thing I'd change--skip the rain which we had for 3 of our bike days.
