I was on the tour from Avignon to Aiguës Mortes. Some difficult personal circumstances arose for me on the first day of the tour. The staff and the company were as accommodating as they could have been. Lots of companies can show you a good time; this was my third trip with Eurosail and they showed me great professionalism and…

Party Parker | Debbie Fleming and Patty Ross
This was my first trip to Europe and my first bike/barge trip. The staff were friendly and professional and went out of their way to make our experience the best it could be. Our accomadation was comfortable and spacious, the food was delicious and as I am a vegetarian they made sure that my meals were just as varied and…

We have been doing trips with Eurosail Travel since 2011. We have never been disappointed. The trips, the crew and the food have been exceptional. Absolutely the best way to see a country!! Don’t miss the opportunity…. nothing compares….price or experience…it’s the best!!
Charles
Our trip was an absolute delight. From the excellent service provided by staff, to the high level of professionalism and helpfulness of th tour guides, to high quality food and accomodations, the trip was memorable and hopefully we can do another next year.
Thomas and Barbra Smithgall
This is our second time using Eurosail Travel and will definitely use them again when we plan our next adventure. They always quickly respond to any questions and make sure you’re equipped with all the information necessary for a great vacation.
William Vocke and Carol Li
Everything was great with one small but important hitch. They did not have the right size E-bike for my wife (she is very small) and she was unable to ride. Crew, boat, accommodations, food, etc. were wonderful. Next time I would be more pro-active in stressing our needs which given the high level of service, I believe they will meet.
Nancy McClellan and Kenneth E Douglas
The boat Estello was very tight in room space and needs refurbishing…dining room very noisy, and no open outdoor space to hangout. We did not enjoynitinerary as much as on previous trips. Countryside was not particularly scenic except on 2 days. We felt very rushed at some historic spots like Pont du Gard where we would have liked to have…
Antwort von Boat Bike Tours
Dear Nancy and Kenneth, We are very sorry that this trip did not meet your expectations. It is true that the barge is smaller than some of our other barges. The reason is that this barge is tailor-made for the French canals. The locks in these canals are very small. Your remarks about feeling rushed at some points will be discussed with the touroperator and the guide in order to improve this for future guests. Thank tou very much for your feed-back.
Christine Goldborough and Patty Williams
Old barge but great service and guide.ready for another one !
Anne Bedard and Al Archibald
Trip met expectations. Food and accommodations were by and large great. Could have had a bit more extensive breakfast service but dinner was very good. Bike tour guiding was generally satisfactory given dealing with 20 riders of varying fitness and travelling speed differences. A little more educational time spent on what we were seeing on the the daily rides might…

Thanks Anne and Al for your feed-back. I am happy the trip met your expectations. I will share your remark that a bit more educational time would have been appreciated with the touroperator Giro Libero so that they can improve this aspect for future tours. With kind regards, Jossie
Roger and Sally
We enjoyed every aspect of the trip – from the thorough and easy booking process, the time spent riding, the guided evening walks, to the dining aboard. The staff are superb: professional yet relaxed, good-humoured and accommodating to special requests. The bikes were comfortable, the food was delicious and the rooms were good. We would definitely recommend Eurosail and would…
Gordon and Holly Hesse
I didn’t like the fact that now Eurosail is just an agent for Girolibero. And I didn’t like that only one guide was provided for 20 people. On past tours I’ve been on, they use 2 guides and break up into two groups. Slow people in one group, faster, more experianced people in another. This is safer. Food was great.…
Antwort von Boat Bike Tours
Dear Mr and Mrs Hesse, I am very sorry to hear you are a bit disappointed about the trip on the Vita Pugna in Italy. You are correct, for this tour we act as agent for Giro Libero. Besides that Eurosail sells her own trips in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and France. Some tours have 2 guides, some tours have only one. That depends on the ship and itinerary and is always mentioned on the website and in our brochures. I will speak with Giro Libero about your experience on board. With kind regards, Jossie
Chris and Rhonda Hale
Our Bike and Boat Tour through northern Italy was fantastic. We look forward to future trips in other countries with Eurosail.
Patricia Weiss
We recently took a bike n boat tour from Venice to Mantova. The crew was a delight, the food was excellent and the accommodations were clean. BIKING was NOT good! The biking was another matter all together. While the bikes were in great condition,this is not a trip for anyone who wants to bike at least 40-50 miles/day and get…
Antwort von Boat Bike Tours
Dear mrs Weiss, Thank you for taking the time to send us this review. I am very sorry the biking portion of the trip was not what you expected. The way you describe it does not sound like a fun bike & barge holiday. This trip in Italy is not one of our 'own' tours. It is a trip organized by our valued partner Giro Libero in Vicenza, Italy. This means Giro Libero is also responsable for the bike portion of the trip. We will certainly discuss your review with Giro Libero and see how we can improve the biking experience. I am happy you liked the ship, food and crew. With kind regards, the Eurosail team
Carl & Patty Soldner
We recently took a Bike and Barge tour from Amsterdam to Brugge. The trip was first rate in every way from the food offerings to the rooms to the the on-board staff. We had a very enjoyable time on our trip and look forward to another opportunity to sail with Eurosail!
Steve Waller
First class in every way. Comfortable lodging, great food, even better crew and guides, fabulous route through perfect cycling and tulip country. Recommended highly.
Eve & Mark Jackson
Well organised, very interesting terrain and good company. Excellent boat, comfortable with great food

Time alone- the tour guide monopolized all our free time, so we didn’t have time to relax after the bike ride, before dinner and after dinner. After the tour, we should have been able to have some time with our spouses and to rest and read. The most we had was 15 min and then it was on to something…
Antwort von Boat Bike Tours
Dear Eurosail traveller, We are very sorry to hear the Bike & Barge tour you booked with us did not match your expectations. We will take your comments to heart. We will tell the guide to pay more attention to the individual needs of the guests. Also we will speak with the captain about the presence of the dog. Usually a dog on board is not a problem, but the dog should be kept apart if the guests ask for it. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the food and the helpfulness of the first mate. With kind regards, the Eurosail team
Teri & James Spratley
Best time EVER !!! CAN’T WAIT TO GO ON ANOTHER TRIP !!! THANK YOU FOR THE TRIP OF A LIFETIME
John Caldwell
Great trip! Lots of info on the areas we visited!!
J B
The concept of a barge and bike trip was great, the barge was not posh but adequately what I expected, the bikes were comfortable, and the locations for cycling and the terrains were what I expected as well. However, the firing of the chef with no replacement, poor meals, repetitious choices for lunches, few snacks or water at the end…
Karen T.
The crew on the Iris was the best! They were friendly, helpful, professional and fun. The food was great, the barge was always sparkling clean, the bikes we’re well maintained. I can’t wait to book another trip!! Thanks Lenny and crew!!!
Joe Greenan
Everything about this tour was 5 star: 1. The guides 2. The accommodation 3. The food 4. The bikes 5. The cycling routes. I recommend this tour on the river Maine for the above reasons and for the beautiful towns visited on route.
K. Evey
Every bike and barge experience is different and the company makes each experience for the participants. This company offers a variety of choices for each day’s activity for every traveler with personal attention for the participants, excellent accommodations, meals and educated guides that offer background knowledge along the way making each day meaningful and memorable. I highly recommend this type…
Carmen Price
Many of us from our biking club did the Bike and Barge from Amsterdam to Brugge. We loved it! The staff, food, and accommodations were top notch and we enjoyed every minute of our trip.
Bill, Vancouver, Canada
I am a reasonably active senior, recently retired, and I have been on 5 trips with Eurosail, all a lot of fun, and I plan on enjoying many more bicycle barge adventures. The barge crew and guides are friendly, knowledgeable and fun. This is not a formal 5 star hotel, it is more like a well run family Bed &…
Bill & Anneli
We had a wonderful experience, all the way from booking to the taxi back to the train at the end of our trip. Jossie was very helpful over e-mail prior to departure. Once we arrived in Amsterdam, the staff and captain of our boat were great. The guides were great, and we loved the small group of just 22 persons,…
Betty & Tom Sunkel
A beautiful clean well equipped ship with a crew that loves their job. The food was probably the best I have ever had on any ship! Or guides were well informed and knew their „stuff“. They conformed well with the personalities on the tour. I cannot say enough about the enjoyment I experienced on this tulip tour trip! I will…
Rich & Bette Seres
We have booked three Bike & Barge tours through Eurosail; France, Italy, and Germany. They are an excellent company. The tours are very well organized, the boats are clean and well suited for the specific trips. The food is wonderful. The staff on board are fun and energetic. The guides are knowledgeable and helpful in every way. If you have…
Vicki Griffin
I have worked with Eurosail for over ten years as a tour director. However, I had never sailed on one of their barges until just last month. It is everything that is advertised and more. The crew and guide were excellent. Attention to the details was always there. The meals were wonderful with a lot of variety. The bikers enjoyed…
Spenser & Valerie Havlick
Our finest bike and barge trip ever on the Fleur and also on Coming Home. Fabulous cuisine , fine bikes, great staff and captain. Really appreciate the town hike and visits on the afternoon and evenings. We have recommended to many friends and are scheduled to be back in August this year ending in Paris. After biking through Europe on…

Took 9 family members – 3 did not bike – all had a good time.
PAMELA
Eurosail is an incredible value. I have been on two tours and the bikes, food, guides and staff were great. I will definitely go on another. Even though the rooms are small, they are comfortable and clean.
Marilyn & William Cook
I have to say that this was one of the nicest trips I have ever been on. The crew and guides were always pleasant and helpful and full of information. The small size of our group (20) made it easy to get to know each other and made it feel like travelling with friends. The bikes were very comfortable and…
Denese Anderson & Trudy Alexander
My buddy Denese and I sailed on the FIEP and biked through Belgium in July 2016. We had such a fabulous time! The FIEP was a wonderful „home!“ The whole crew was so helpful! The food was absolutely delicious! The others on the trip became our great friends! They were so much fun! I wish I could experience this every…
David and Jean
We had a very enjoyable experience. Bike guide was good, food was great and cabin was as expected-adequate but small. David & Jean
Paul & Susan Doster
We can’t stop talking about our experience with eurosail. Our guides Leah and Tomas were beyond excellent! The food and our chef was outstanding. The whole experience was one we will never forget and we will highly recommend to our friends
Anne Lager
This was by far one of the nicest trips I was ever on. The guides were both informative as well as personable! The two chefs made every meal a wonderful experience! The bikes were certainly better than I expected! The guides were very helpful with getting our train reservations back to our starting destination! This trip certainly exceeded my expectations!
Bob Langford
Eurosail trips are well organized and good value. I have done 5 trips through them and in all cases they have been enjoyable. The boats are comfortable and the food good and varied. Attempt is made to ensure that everyone has a good experience. I would not hesitate to recommend the company..
Mary Marragio
For 7 years I worked with Josie of Eurosail organizing bike/barge trips for 20+ senior friends. Never had a problem filling the various barges. She is a joy to work with as is the various barge crew members. Highly recommend any of her trips even if you are not a bicyclist.
Shirley D. USA
I have been sailing with Eurosail Travel for several years. There is no other Barge/Bike company I would use!!! They are honest, thorough, entertaining….the boats are clean & comfortable. The bikes are perfect for the terrain. I cannot begin to say enough about the staff. The chef and cuisine are unsurpassed! I always look forward to my return.
John
Took a great trip from Paris to Bruges in October. The cycling was great although it was a bit cool on some days. The staff on board couldn’t have been friendlier or more accommodating.
Steve Waller
Wonderful boat, great team – every one, and fantastic route. I commend it without reservation.
Ross & Kathy, Vancouver
A wonderful time on the Fiep. The hospitality could not have been better. The food spectacular and the accommodation very comfortable and clean! The route chosen was perfect for the group of riders… All in all, nothing could have been improved! Highly recommended! Thanks so much for a wonderful trip!
Susan Murphy
I was a bit hesitant to join this trip in my first solo visit to Europe, but I would highly recommend it to anyone. In addition I had only been on a bike a few times in the past 15 years, but had no trouble on our fabulous trips. Our guide, Hugo, was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us many off…
Keith & Dawn Parker
June 2016, Bamberg to Mitenberg was our first experience with Eurosail bike-barge. It exceeded our expectations. We loved it! We have booked September 2018, with 32 bikers from Vancouver Canada, on the Ave Maria, in Italy – Venice to Mantova. Can hardly stand the wait!
Liz Fentress
This was a fabulous trip. The Iris is beautiful, our guide was terrific, and also five stars for the ship’s crew–the captain, the chef, and the guys who did everything else. Book now! You won’t regret it!
Art & Barb Tait
An excellent trip that exceeded expectations. The biking was picturesque and not overly arduous on lovely paths. The accommodation and food were great. Our guide was friendly and well informed taking us on many side trips and excursions. we certainly will be travelling with them again.
Mike & Joke Ayres
We had a wonderful week -brilliant cycling, brilliant food and great accommodation We would love to do another one.
Jim & Jane Hatfield
We’ve biked and barged three times with Eurosail and will return as long as we can turn the pedals. Wonderful crews, comfortable quarters, delicious food, picturesque routes, charming companions and all so affordable. Yes, we’ll definitely be back for more adventures with Eurosail!
