What our customers ask about Bike And Barge Tours & Trips
When is the best time to take a bike and barge tour?
Plan your European bike and barge trip between April and October, with the best weather from June through September. If you're cycling in Croatia's Dalmatia region, July and August temperatures reach around 85°F (29°C) - perfect for combining biking with swimming breaks. For routes in the Netherlands and northern Europe, May and June are ideal with comfortable temperatures around 68°F (20°C) and fewer rainy days. Most people book summer months to enjoy long daylight hours and reliable cycling weather.
What destinations can I explore on a bike and barge tour?
You'll find routes throughout Europe's most beautiful waterways. Cycle along the Danube River through Austria and Germany, stopping in cities like Vienna. Pedal through southern France's Rhône Valley, where you'll see endless vineyards and lavender fields while your barge, like the A-ROSA STELLA, waits ahead. Or bike Croatia's coast, hopping between islands like Hvar and Korcula with your floating hotel as your base. Each region offers a mix of quiet countryside and historic towns to explore.
What's included in the daily cycling routes?
You'll get everything needed to cycle confidently: maps, GPS tracks, and easy-to-follow route details through phone apps. Take the Italian tour from Venice to the Po Delta - you'll bike 25-40km (15-25 miles) each day on quiet roads and bike paths, stopping at historic sites and vineyards along the way. One TourRadar traveler noted: "the guides carefully planned routes that showcased the best scenery while keeping safety in mind."
How far do you cycle each day?
Most days you'll ride between 30-50 kilometers (18-31 miles), with plenty of stops for photos and coffee breaks. In the Netherlands, expect about 40-45 kilometers (25-28 miles) daily. Croatia's coastal routes vary more, from 20-60 kilometers (12-37 miles). Don't worry if you need a break - you can always hop on the barge instead of biking the full route.
What kind of meals do you get?
You'll start each day with a big breakfast buffet, get a packed lunch for your ride, and return to a nice dinner featuring local dishes. The Croatia tour includes 7 breakfasts, 5 lunches, and 2 dinners with regional food. One TourRadar traveler on the Provence tour shared: "Sara and Mikaela served up the most amazing meals." Just let them know ahead if you need vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free options.
How many people are in a typical group?
Groups usually have between 20-40 people. Some boats, like the MS Normandie, can take up to 51 guests, while bigger ones like A-ROSA VIVA hold up to 74 people. One TourRadar traveler noted: "We had 24 cyclists in our group, which felt a bit large for one guide - having two guides would have been ideal for the group size."
What meals are included in the price?
Most tours cover all your meals. On the Seine Valley tour, you get 7 breakfasts, 6 packed lunches for cycling days, and 6-7 dinners. One TourRadar traveler shared: "Irene's dinners were as good as any following restaurant meals in Avignon and Paris."
