My wife and I have been on three tours with Merlijn and have loved every one of them. They are so much fun and the crew and staff treat you like family. What I like best is the small number of guests on the ship. You get to meet many interesting people from all over the world. The food is amazing, Christina does an excellent job. The staff is very attentive and makes a point to get to know you personally. Ilse our guide on all three trips really knows the routes. A nice touch on my last trip in 2025 (Passau to Bamburg) we had helmets that provided the ability for Ilse to speak to us as we traveled, to point out the many beautiful attractions along the way. I am an avid cyclist and found the bikes to be top notch. The cycling is leisurely and the daily milage is not excessive. I enjoy the exercise aspect of it. There is nothing I can really say that I did not enjoy on all three trips. We have enjoyed these trips so much we are already booked on the Moselle 3 Country tour in October of 2027 and the Taste of Eastern Europe in September of 2028. Can\'t wait!!!!
