The French Riviera is very beautiful and the weather is great!!
I loved my hotel in Hyeres. The Pontiere is amazing- a beautiful location

The night cruise around the city of Budapest with everything lit up was glorious.

Our tours in Budapest on the bus was with an exceptional tour leader. She brought the city alive with all the history and beautiful locations we visited. Very passionate about her city. The walking tour in Bratislava was Wonderful. Daca gave a well thought out tour of the city center-absolutely the best.
Our biggest issue was the language, even when bike tours were explained in English we did not always understand certain words.

Our waiter Uros, gave us exemplary service. Very professional, friendly, helpful. Always looking out for us
All crew members were top notch

I enjoyed the scenery and history and fun facts about each of the islands we biked. The views of the Adriatic Sea from our bike routes were breathtaking. Our 3 guides, Ana, Lea and Martina, were excellent. They kept us safe, they shared the history of the areas and they made the tour fun for all of us.

Great boat, itinerary and crew.

Would prefer biking mornings and motoring afternoons. Most of trip motored til noon. Ate at 1:30. Began biking after big lunch about 3.
That is my only complaint. The las 2 days were morning bikes, much preferred

My husband and I had a marvellous time on this tour. It didn't turn out to be a boat bike trip; instead it was a hotel bike trip as the Thalassa wasn't available, but it didn't have a negative effect on our trip. The itinerary changed substantially as we used ferries instead of the Thalassa, and stayed on some different islands, but the quality of the tour was high and we had a really memorable and enjoyable time. The guides were excellent and really looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble and we were wined and dined royally. The bikes were high quality and performed flawlessly, and the scenery was gorgeous. I would not hesitate to recommend this tour, but will say you should not join unless you have a reasonable level of fitness. The hills on the islands we visited (particularly Andros) are challenging even on an e-bike but well worth the effort.

Great trip overall. Especially enjoyed fellow travelers , guides and crew. Some areas fir improvement : good nothing to write home about. Fresher food is suggested. Guide and captain pivoted well when weather changed but had hoped for more off boat swimming versus in harbor hanging out. Bikes very well maintained. We asked about helmets but did not get clear answer do brought our own - a pain. Boat was great.

The first day we were so excited to be on the coast- rugged beauty and good biking trails.
Our self guided trip relied on the provided GPS and the use of the phone app for better navigation.
Pedralva stood out for its uniqueness but each location chosen for lodging had its charms.
It would be nice to know in advance when food was not available right at the lodging as we might have planned beforehand for that.
We were lucky to avoid rain but did find lots of puddles on a couple of days but really overall, everyone was happy with the route and very glad we went.

The trip was beautiful, unforgettable! We loved the trails along the beaches and forests. Passing through small towns and alleys in old neighborhoods was welcoming. We were very well received in the excellent hotels and restaurants suggested. Walking through the cities we passed through was very pleasant. Taking raincoats was very important for the first day.

A fabulous trip! The staff/crew could not have been any better. Biking was so much fun on the ebikes and they made it very easy.

I really enjoyed the tour of the cheese farm in Gouda! Plus the evening walks after dinner were very informative!

From the meticulously repurposed barge, to the fantastically beautiful daily rides with an expert guide, to the daily on-board meals made with heart, this was one of the best tours of our lives. I recommend it to anybody that likes to hop on a bike (there was lots of e-bikes). Coen is a real master captain, and he spares no energy sharing his commitment to detail and perfection.

Guides, crew, views, food, island towns and villages, route planning, light courteous vehicular traffic, all contributed to a superlative experience. The bikes provided were excellent. The e-bikes were so speedy up the frequent long uphill climbs! Fit individuals on traditional bikes played catch-up.

The trip was great. The boat - the last time to be used for this trip - was nice except no A/C. The crew were so friendly - the food was good especially the last night's dinner. The bike guide was such a nice guy, very experienced but he did to provide good safety briefings or information about each day's activities. There was a lot of down time and he spent time sitting in cafes instead of showing us the small villages and towns.

Loved visiting the tulip gardens. Food was delicious. Hospitality top notch. Guides very accommodating. High quality of bikes. The Iris is a great boat for this type of travel.

The crew and the guides did a wonderful job of making sure everything wonderful.
All of the extras that were included in our bike outing made the entire trip memorable. Encouraging everyone I know to take this trip. The absolutely perfect way to see The Netherlands!

The guides were exceptionally engaged with us. Ana seems to be leading an excellent example for the other 2 ladies.

This was a fun and memorable tour with enough options to keep even fast cyclists (which my wife and I aren't) engaged and occupied beyond the daily pedal. And the Ride with GPS app supplied by the agency, with all the rides preloaded, removed the worry and stress of missing turns and taking wrong forks, with detailed instructions and maps serving as a backup. There was a bit of confusion about the dinner vouchers - we at first assumed, wrongly, that they covered drinks. Also, when one restaurant we had vouchers for us in Dresden turned out to be closed for renovations, we were told to walk thirty minutes to an affiliate restaurant - that refused to honor the vouchers. Despite this miscommunication, all ended well when the agency gave us new vouchers for our last dinner in Prague, which was as not in our contract. I would ride with this tour operator again for their prompt and courteous service, as well as for their outstanding planning and execution.
