★★★★★ Andrea R 2 days agoGreat itinerary
· Danube Bike Path 5-nights (Active)
From the welcome on Night 1 to the hotels along the way, the trip was well-planned; the guide who did our first night introduction was very thorough and helpful. Luggage pickup/dropoff was timely, which was a relief since we had to bike in the rain 2 days. Beautiful and interesting scenery along the way. Definitely recommend.

Sporty trip down the Danube!
· Danube Bike Path 5-nights (Active)
Such a great way to experience this historic river and scenic countryside! An extra day before beginning my journey allowed time to relax and explore Passau. Hannas arrived at the hotel on time and provided information regarding the bike and route, very helpful. The route map provided was my main source for navigation and points of interest. I had some difficulty using the nav app but the R1 route is extremely well marked. A few extra days afterwards in Vienna topped off the trip. I’ll plan to return next year for another section along the Donau (Danube). The tour company made it very easy with prearranged hotels, luggage transport and route planning, will definitely use them again.

★★★★★ Dan L. 2 days agoSausalito Return is a Must
· Scenic Golden Gate Bridge San Francisco Bike Tour
The ride down the coast to Sausalito was gorgeous, and the town itself is so charming with its maritime history. We highly recommend taking the ferry back to Fisherman’s Wharf for the amazing bay views.

★★★★★ Sue R 13 hours agoExploring Catalonia -up close and personal.
· Best of Catalonia Cycle Touring
This was a self guided adventure on great hybrid bikes supplied by Daniel. The route was well planned and the accommodation was exceptional - Orlot being the standout. The notes about the route were very scant but we managed to research and discover some real gems - in the history sense as well information about the geography of the area. We appreciated the marked out paper maps supplied by Daniel.

★★★★★ Muffy C. 5 hours agoAs relaxing as it gets
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
The tour truly lives up to its name. It offers the perfect blend of cycling, sailing, and exploring some of Greece’s most stunning islands. Each day brings something new, charming whitewashed villages, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful coastal roads with breathtaking views. The combination of guided bike rides and relaxing moments aboard the ship makes it both active and rejuvenating. The crew and guides are friendly and knowledgeable, and the food and atmosphere on board are excellent. A wonderful way to experience the Greek islands from both land and sea!

I've been looking forward to this trip for so long
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was an absolute joy on so many levels. The cycling routes were beautiful, the boat was a perfect place to relax, and the onboard chef was fantastic. Our group was a great mix of nationalities — four couples and three solo travelers — which made for a fun and friendly atmosphere. One of the couples was actually on their honeymoon, adding a lovely and positive energy to the experience. The crew was professional and pleasant, though they kept a bit more to themselves than on some other trips — perhaps understandable, as it’s the end of a long season for them.

Beautiful islands of Greece
· · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was very enjoyable overall. The cycling routes were well planned and offered a nice variety of scenery, from quiet coastal roads to small island towns. The boat was comfortable and a pleasant place to relax after the rides, and the onboard chef did a great job — the meals were definitely one of the highlights. The group was friendly and diverse, which made for a relaxed and easy atmosphere throughout the week.
If there’s one thing I’d change, it would be to have dinner on board each evening instead of lunch, as it would be a nicer way to end the day together.

★★★★★ Bozena 4 hours agoAuthentic Holland trip
· · Dutch Hanseatic Cities, Harbor Towns & Natural Wonders by Bike and Boat
I absolutely loved this tour! Biking through the historic Dutch Hanseatic cities and quaint harbor towns felt like stepping back in time, and exploring the beautiful natural landscapes by boat was pure magic. The pace was perfect, the scenery breathtaking, and every day brought a new adventure. It’s the kind of trip that stays with you long after you return.

★★★★★ Roxanne 52 minutes agoBest ever bike and barge tour!
· · Exploring the Neckar and Rhine Rivers and Valleys
We have been on five bike and barge excursions in Europe and this trip was by far the best ever experience in so many ways. Fantastic !
Our trip route had to be rerouted shortly before we started because a lock on the Neckar River was not working properly so no boat traffic was allowed. Instead we biked from Wurzburg to Mainz. The crew must have worked overtime to make modifications for our journey and should be commended for this effort.
The Merlijn barge is without a doubt a classy vessel. The barge was remodeled recently and it was truly a pleasure to travel on it. The beds were comfortable and the room spacious. The bathroom as well had nice shower and other upgrades like the lighted and fog free mirror. Plugs for devices were numerous and handy. Storage plentiful.
The crew of five were all very accommodating and hard working. They were a real team and this helped to create a very positive atmosphere. I can’t say enough about how each crew member helped to make the trip so memorable
The food was gourmet. Each day we started with a healthy breakfast ; we received a packed lunch. When returned from biking we had snacks and were WOWED with outstanding dinners. Truly incredible service and hospitality.
The biking paths were mostly paved and our stops in the small towns and villages for breaks and lunches were so much fun because you get the opportunity to see Germany. Thomas our leader was experienced and always concerned about safety. The riders had helmets outfitted with technology so he could communicate as we rode giving directions, cautions and interesting
points of interest. A review of the next days ride was explained after dinner each night. Almost every evening after dinner Thomas took us for an excursion around the town where we were docked. Because our riding route was changed Thom had to scramble to re familiarize himself with the path so he should get extra credit for this effort. There were 24 on this tour and it was well organized with safety a priority. ( I personally prefer smaller groups).
The route itself was fine especially given the last minute modifications. The paths well marked and very few challenges. Cobblestones in the towns we visited do require riders to be mindful.
We loved the trip. Our fellow passengers were very friendly and upbeat.
Thank you to the Merlijn crew for a truly wonderful trip.- What was the date of your tour?
