Boat Bike Tours Reviews 

Loved the boat and the guides! The guides did a great job to make sure our vacation was not a disappointment when the route was changed due to the wind and when we had to leave the boat mid-trip because repairs were required. They went above and beyond to make sure our trip was a happy experience. It was a fantastic trip. Great rides, swim stops and food too

Great ship and great support for the week

The guides were excellent as were the boat, captain, crew, and food. The rides and boat travel covered beautiful scenery and fascinating destinations. I would have enjoyed an option to do longer rides. The great group of fellow travelers added to the enjoyment of the trip.

Itinerary was great, app worked great. Bikes performed as expected.

This is our second trip with Boat Bike tours and it as before was a ton of fun. Everyone was friendly and ready to help. The captian was very friendly however was somewhat short with his crew from time to time. He needs to learn to keep his cool and criticize his employees in private not in front of the guests.
Will without a doubt take another trip and will recommend it to others.

Our time biking on, and boating to, the Aeolian Islands was magical and all we could have hoped for. The setting was beautiful, the water warm, the boat comfortable, and the espresso and Aperol spritzers plentiful! What made the experience most memorable, though, was the crew and the guide. Andrea did a wonderful job of leading each day's adventure, whether it was a bike ride around one of the islands, or a hike to see an erupting volcano. He was always one step ahead of us thinking about how he could make the time special, while keeping us all safe and comfortable. He was very knowledgeable about all the islands and shared that information throughout our time. The Captain and his son & daughter (who were part of the crew), were always pleasant, courteous, helpful, and competent. Our cook, Augustino, was brilliant with the food that he masterfully created from his small kitchen below deck. He made delicious seafood dishes for the passengers who enjoyed fish, and meat dishes for those who preferred this. Once he learned that we enjoyed coffee cake for breakfast, he began making it each day. He put his love and skill into each dinner, and knowing he truly cared about how much we enjoyed it, made us appreciate it all the more.

Also, we learned a couple days before we arrived, that the company was providing a new boat for us (because of some mechanical issues with the initial boat we were slated to use). The company handled this transition with competency and good communication.

This was our 4th time with Bike/Boat tour company, and not our last! We look forward to planning our next trip with them, and will begin reviewing the fantastic options.

We had a fabulous time. The boat was clean and comfortable. When water levels of the Rhine meant revamping our route, the crew and tour leaders handled it professionally and with grace. We loved biking along the Moselle River and through the villages. Beautiful scenery and the weather was perfect!

The Food on the boat was great as was the eBike.
However, I was put on a table with German speaking people, rather than English speaking people. So I chose to ride with a group who spoke English.
But the navigation while cycling on most days was difficult.

The tour was well organised and all the logistics worked very well. Disappointed that we could get to Budapest but understand why the itinerary had to be changed. Apart from the receptionist (who was very grumpy) all the other staff were lovely. The food was great. The cabin was functional but the beds were very uncomfortable. All in all a great trip

We finished a wonderful week on the SE Manon (Passau Budapest Passau) this morning. It was a fabulous week. The ship was great, the food was delicious, and the staff was superb. The tour director, Frank, was knowledgeable and so helpful with his daily presentations. When the river level was too low to get all the way to Budapest, he arranged comfortable coaches and tour guides to make sure we could still experience that amazing city. All the bike routes were so much fun, with beautiful scenery. And the boat staff were top-notch. Always smiling, and such hard workers. We especially enjoyed mealtimes with Anga, Adi, and Win taking such good care of us. I definitely recommend this trip!

It was a fantastic week with challenging, but reasonable biking, new sights to explore, comfortable and adequate quarters and a very attentive staff. The guides communicated and led us well, and were able to share knowledge and history of the areas we toured. We always stayed together as a group, not what I expected, but it worked. If you want to know in advance exactly what you will do each day, you may be disappointed. But if you are capable of relaxing and trusting the guides, they will show you a great week mixed with cycling, swimming, walking tours, and lots of fun!

This was an excellent boat and bike tour. Giorgio was an excellent guide. He was informative, kind, resourceful, fun and amazing. Silvia was excellent chef and Gabriele was excellent captain and Fabio was excellent as well. They made the trip enjoyable and safe and we felt welcomed and taken care of. So kind!!!!

Truly an amazing vacation. Everyone involved was stellar. It was so organythat the only thing to worry about was the weather. Thankfully we only had one really bad weather day.

The crew was wonderful in every aspect of their jobs. Knowledgeable and fun guides, great chef, wonderful captain, sailor and housekeeping.

Trip was amazing. Awesome guides, great food, excellent boat staff.
Already looking at my next trip with Boat Bike Tours.

The best trip ever! The boat had larger cabins and we enjoyed the smaller group. The crew was VERY accommodating! From the welcome to the good bye. The Guides were knowledgeable and flexible and trying to make sure they accommodated the guest desires

A wonderful holiday.

We just returned from the Paris-Amsterdam trip on the Magnifique X. It was off the charts amazing!! The food was top notch, the staff couldn't have been more helpful, and the boat was absolutely beautiful!

The staff was fabulous! From booking - when we had lots of initial questions - to sailing, where we spent a week interacting with the crew, we were impressed with the high quality of care, friendliness and service. The onboard instructions were clear, the Prinzessin Katharina was lovely, food was delicious. The highlights of biking were well planned and took us through beautiful countryside and sights along the Danube.
Our only difficulty - boatbike tours contracted the trip through SE tours, which we didn't know at first. We did not receive any information prior to the trip regarding altered routes due to the drought along the Danube. Even an email to say that the situation was being monitored would have been appreciated. Also, we weren't sure where to find the bus to Passau, and SE tours only had a phone loop in German available, which was no help at all. On the other hand, Monika and Uver were excellent guides!
