5 Star Premium Bamberg to Frankfurt Tour Reviews — 1 to 13 of 13

This is my 5th bike & barge vacation and by far the best. Koen and Christina have an exquisite ship. Every detail has been addressed with function and thought.

The food was perfect. Cabin was so comfortable. I really appreciated every detail.

But the best part was the crew on the merlijn. Thomas the guide knew the ins and outs of the villages. He was able to direct my daughter to a great bakery in each village. Cat made sure we were taken care of in the galley. Always with a big smile. It was amazing how quickly he knew everyone’s name.

Each day we had enought stops to make the ride easy on the tosh. Espresso stop, lunch stop, afternoon stop and just a few get the blood back stops.

Rising along the Main river was great. The paths along the river were pleasant. Only a couple times were we on roads with cars. Luckly minimal cars.

I would do this trip again in a heartbeat!

Everything about the trip was great. Each day was a new mini adventure. All the members of our group were very friendly and interacted very well together. The whole trip was very well organized.

Most Memorable Part: Spending vacation time with my biking pals and meeting new riders on the barge. Loved Jantien and Henk! The scenery was amazing, picture book amazing.

Most Memorable Part? The bike touring led by Lia. She is awesome!

Most Memorable Part: Visiting small towns and enjoying the culture.

Most memorable part: the intense beauty of the Bavarian countryside.

I am not a bike rider and was very concerned about how difficult it really would be. Well, it wasn't that difficult and was very enjoyable. The bike trails are amazing and stunning. This was the first Bike Barge experience and it was fantastic. There is no better way to experience Germany. The staff on the Merlijn are amazing. The food was delicious and plentiful. The experience on a smaller vessel was as good or even better than on a cruise ship and I have been on over 25 cruises all over the world. I highly recommend this adventure.

Enjoyed the trip immensely. Scenery was fantastic. Ship and staff were excellent. Food was accommodating for vegetarians, non fish eaters and was plentiful. Would like to see an additional excursion included with the tour. Beer tasting night and castle tour were excellent.

The owners of the barge were outstanding, in every way!

The scenery was wonderful. We loved going thru the German countryside. The personnel were wonderful, they genuinely like what they do. The tour guide was fabulous! We suggest more attention to bike maintenance and using better bikes. They could have better quality and more attention to fitting bikes would be great! Thanks so much!

Boat staff was terrific.

Loved the entire experience. Barge accommodations and food amazing. Staff superb. Lea, our biking guide had such knowledge of area and was an expert at leading a group of different ability bikers. Also solving any problem which would arise. Cannot say enough positive about the Merlijn and her staff. Wonderful trip on so many levels. Kudos to Jantien and Henk for providing me with a trip to cherish!

We had a great time!! Our guide was fabulous!! Staff on the boat couldn't have been better. I would definitely recommend this tour. We would go on another trip on this barge in a heart beat!!
