We enjoyed a wonderful trip on the Danube with the Merlijn. The bike tour was very fun. We enjoyed the sights and the guides knowledge of the area. The relaxing environment and excellent food made each day special. We cant thank the captains and crew enough for their hospitality, hard work, and humor. Im sure we will travel with them again.
