Bike + Boat Tour Reviews — 61 to 90 of 4581

The ability of the captain and crew to change itinerary based on weather and sea conditions. The experience was not detracted from by moving to plan B or C.

Arriving in Paris early evening along the Seine. Food was great-Frank did a fantastic job.

The whole thing.
The islands, the boat, the food, the staff.
The scenery and rides. Stops along the way.
The history and historical sites.

Wonderful trip on a beautiful barge. Marion and Irna were fantastic guides. The e-bikes are so easy to ride. The chef served delicious meals. The scenery was beautiful with the grapes ready to be harvested. Nice flat bike trails. The whole crew was just the best. Highly recommend.

All of it. The Merlijn is small, cozy and a lot of character. All staff including the owners made me and my husband feel so welcomed, like family. This is something you will not find on big boats/ships. The meals that were prepared by Christina were fabulous, and they were very accommodating to my husband who has a picky palate.
The bike trails were easy and beautiful! The little towns in Austria that we rode through were breath taking.

This was my third trip with Tripsite, and third aboard the Merlijn. This section of the Danube seemed quieter than other trips I’ve taken giving us a different experience. We saw the palaces and monasteries along the way, rode through sleepy villages, passed the occasional fishermen along the river front. The biking was easy and along the river for the most part. We took a wonderful hike one day, saw some giant mushrooms along the trail. The last day of riding we had the option of riding extra or swimming off the barge, I took the swim, definitely a highlight for me.

Everything was top notch; the dinners were all superb; the service and guides were great; the accommodations were good. Travelling on a smaller barge is a more intimate experience. I used an eBike, which isn’t always necessary but when the wind dials up it certainly makes life easier.

Wonderful crew and guides. The group was great fun. The guides made efforts to accommodate any concerns about the rides that were planned.

The guides and crew were outstanding. The accommodations exceeded our expectations.

This trip was amazing from start to finish. The itinerary was spectacular. Biking was easy and comfortable. We did e-bikes which helps with long rides. Food, accommodation and staff were fabulous. Would highly recommend a bike and boat tour.

The boat, food, and staff were all fantastic. The bikes were great- easy to use and very sturdy.

This was an awesome bike/barge trip! The bike routes were interesting and beautiful. Our guide Helmut was excellent - keeping us safe while biking and giving us information on the places we visited. He was very patient and helpful. The bikes were well maintained and my E-bike was charged and ready to go all week.
The Caprice barge was clean and efficient. The rooms were small but have shelves and under the bed drawers that were great for organizing clothing etc.
The crew was wonderful and the food was delicious.
I really enjoyed this experience. Definitely will do a barge and bike tour again!

This was my first trip on the Merlijn Bike & Barge. I was with a group of 3 couples that had done this trip before on the Merlijn. I found it outstanding, the equipment was excellent,( my wife and I rented electric bikes ) the cabins were very nice and roomy. Our meals were breakfast and dinner, the breakfast was good but I believe it could have been better, The dinners were first class....The barge also had a nice coffee bar and Bar that were excellent too. The trip was memoriable and I highly recommend the Merjin...

We loved this bike and boat tour in the Ionian islands! It was so fun being on the boat and meeting people from other countries and traveling to all the beautiful islands. The biking was challenging because of the hills, but an E bike made it enjoyable. The tour guides were wonderful and the boat crew were also - we had excellent meals every day on the boat. We also loved the swim stops-the entire week felt magical.

Great crew, very welcoming and helpful. The food was amazing and plenty of it.

This was our fourth and BEST trip on the Merlijn! As usual the Capitan and Christina were marvelous hosts and Kat our bartender and greeter made the trip so fun! The bikes and our guide Thomas were excellent, the routes were lovely and the stops were interesting and informative. I plan to visit the Merlijn again and enjoy another tour.

This was a very scenic trip along the Danube river. The Merlijn is a hidden gem of the river. There is no compatible ship like the Merlijn. The interior of the ship and cabins have all been remodeled and are top notch. The chef and staff are all amazing and welcome you with open arms. If you want an active vacation, you are in the right direction.

Merlijn is top notch service and food. All staff including Thomas, the bike guide, were very friendly and funny.

Great scenery, friendly staff, good service and good food. well organized.

Route was beautiful. Guides were careful, knew the routes and had good senses of humor. Also patient.

Cycling with Sylvia and Francesco! The places they decided to stop and tour-cheese factory, glass blowing in Marano, grandpa distillery… All great experiences. The food on board was fabulous! Chefs did a great job. Boat was orderly, clean comfortable. Would travel with them again in a heartbeat!

An excellent adventure! We enjoyed the balance between, relaxing on the boat, biking and learning about the history of the places we visited.

Boat was awesome and the crew was stellar ❤️. Loved riding through the Dutch countryside with a bunch of old friends and some new ones! Guides were great as well. We always felt safe and looked after!

Riding the bicycle through the gorgeous rural French countryside.

Beautiful bike rides and swimming in the clear very blue sea. We met so many nice people! This is a great trip - adventure mixed with relaxation. We plan to book another tour for next year. This may be an annual must-do!

What a wonderful way to see the islands of Croatia. The guides and crew were fabulous. The guides were knowledge and friendly. The crew was attentive and took care of everything. The bikes were in good shape. I used an ebike and glad I decided to switch. My husband is a cyclist and he rode a touring bike all week. The hills are tough but he did it. It was hot during our week and the guides planned for extra stops with was needed and appreciated. The Romatica was clean and well taken care of. The cabins were bigger than we expected, simple but just what you need on a trip like this one.

The scenery was beautiful! The Merlijn was beautiful and very comfortable. But, the standout for the trip was the staff. Coen and Christina made our week so wonderful and kept us well informed. “Cat” at the bar and serving was very charming and fun! He knew all our names by day 2! Simone kept our cabins tidy and did a great job on our laundry. June was always tidying up the ship and keeping it looking great. Ilsa was a really good tour guide and was very knowledgeable about the history of Austria.

The trip was well run, food was great the tour was amazing look at the country's.

Budapest at night. Cycling the the Wachusett Valley and Vienna

The room on the boat was lovely and the food was very good. We did a guided tour and I felt our guide was inexperienced She did not have many safety measures that I have had on previous bike trips. i.e a sweep and ensuring everyone is ready to go before taking off. Also would have been better to be able to visit some cultural places like the Abbey, museums or churches. We were not given anytime on our rides to do this. The highlights was the wine region and wine tasting.
