islandhopping / inselhüpfen Anmeldelser 

A great trip great guides and great boat crew

Not as good as previous tours, very expensive and not value for money. Boat fine but no indoor space so all meals on the deck which was not shaded at all times, so made for unpleasant dining. Also it meant no shady areas to sit and read. Tour guide was abrasive. Speed of cycles far too fast so group very spread out, if only one guide as normal on this tour not good for health and safety of the quests. ( we were fortunate as 2 extra quizzes as boat not fully sold).

Croatia is simply gorgeous. The staff on Linda were great. The boat was a bit tired and had some quirks. Doors and drawers didn't close or got stuck, Bedding was worn and could use a refresh. The cycling, while beautiful was on too many busy roads for my liking. When were on smaller roads or in the forest, solid 10 out of 10. Cycling was easy on the ebike except maybe that first hill which was insane! Maybe even a little too easy overall .. could have added some more mileage for sure... The breakfasts were great, but overall the food was not to my liking. Although other guests thought it was great so I think Im just fussy. Service was very good. I think it was good value for the money. Tour was well organized in terms of moving from island to island, docking and having a chance to explore each port. Highlight was when the captain would anchor in the middle of nowhere and we could swim off the boat. So much fun! Would definitely recommend especially to those who are newer to cycling.

"INSELHÜPFEN is always a good idea" - mit Boot & (e-)Bike trefflich kombiniert. Die Woche in Griechenland war der perfekte "Urlaubs-Triathlon": Genuss/Relaxen an Bord - mit sehr leckerem, frisch zubereitetem Essen; Bootsfahrten mit Swim-Stops in Traumbuchten - und allerlei Fun; tolle Radtouren mit vielen unterschiedlichen Impressionen auf den Inseln. Captain & Crew waren um die Gäste sehr bemüht - sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend, hilfsbereit. Unsere beiden Tour-Guides waren hervorragend - und in der Zusammenarbeit genial! Sie haben den Tagesplan an die Temperaturen angepasst, hatten Routen und Varianten bereit, konnten Alternativen aufs Beste organisieren. Es gab tolle Geschichten unterwegs zu hören - man erfuhr viel über Land & Leute. Sie sorgten für Abwechslung und Unterhaltung auf langen Passagen (z.B. Griechisch-Kenntnisse, Weinprobe, Tanzen) - und haben es aufs Beste verstanden, den Gästen einen unvergesslichen Urlaub zu bereiten. Kurzum: Jederzeit und gerne wieder! Danke - auch an MaryLu & Esther.

Overall my Boat Bike tour of Turkey far exceeded my expectations for the following reasons -
Turkey is a beautiful country including its people, culture, religion, history, provision for tourists, rugged terrain and lush vegetation, to name a few.
The Gulet named The Admiral is a beautiful vessel and maintained to a very high standard by its crew. The sleeping and bathroom facilities were roomy, comfortable and cleaned daily. I was very happy with my room. The dining, rest areas and bar facilities were exceptional.
Dropping anchor in beautiful bays to enable riders to have a swim after a day's ride was so enjoyable.
The kindness, support and professionalism of the boat and bike teams was second to none. They went out of their way to ensure we had a memorable experience.
The Bike Team manager (Ali) was very knowledgeable of the history of Turkey. He had an amazing ability to tell the story.
The boat and bike teams were very conscious of safety procedures and to the best of their ability ensured that all riders were kept safe both on the road and sea.
We were blessed to have an amazing bunch of riders join us from the UK and USA to join us.

The guides Giota and Jack were awesome. They, the boat captain, and crew had to pivot multiple times due high wind conditions on most of the days. The captain had safety top of mind always. We missed two days of riding and two of the islands, and other rides were shortened. I still give five stars as everyone pulled together to make sure we had a great experience. The food was awesome and the boat was spotless. Our below deck cabin had a diesel odour and the overnight generator was loud, but we knew in advance we weren’t signing up for 5-star accommodation- our expectations were not unmet. The cycling was rated as 4/5 which imo is accurate for unassisted bikes. If you’re reasonably fit and enjoy climbing, you’ll like these routes. The unassisted bikes are heavy but the gearing is generous, it will get you to the top. Just not as quite quickly as with an e-bike.

We loved everything about it! The food was delicious, the bikes were well maintained. The best part, though, was the crew. Guides and boat crew were top notch and we especially loved that they were all locals.

We enjoyed a top notch ebike cycling vacation Island Hopping in Croatia.
The ship, cabins, crew, guides, food and bicycles were excellent. No difficulty recommending for fit travellers seeking a memorable experience. Lots of fun!

Everything about our experience on the Admiral and off the sea riding around the Lycian Coast was amazing. The boat crew, our e-bikes, the ride leaders and support crew could not be faulted. We were treated with wonderful food and great history information along the way. Booking the trip was easy and communication from the company excellent!

Guides and crew were great. Food was excellent. Boat was beautiful with plenty of space. Water was warm enough for swimming in mid May. Captain rearranged itinerary based on weather but we still hit all the islands and got a little extra riding in.

Biking Türkiye organization was top notch and the staff were attentive. We felt safe navigating challenging terrain. E-Bikes were a perfect match to the topography: Maneuverable and not too clunky. I had to call IH/BB multiple times w/questions prior to the trip and was able to make immediate contact at any hour from the U.S. Thanks for an unforgettable ride.

the boat was comfortable
The Croatian island hops and bike trips were good durations
food and service on boat very good
our guides Ana & Mateo were brilliant
fellow guests were friendly and good fun
The care after my accident was excellent

The boat was fantastic, we were able to leave our bags early and walk around fethiye some more. Check in was easy. The cabin was clean and the bed was comfortable. There was only 6 guests on this trip so the crew outnumbered us so service was exceptional. The food was outstanding with so much to choose from. Our guide was great, explained our route each morning and having the support van was helpful. The roads were a little rough at times but the scenery made up for that. Not being big cyclists couldn't have done it without the ebike.we totally enjoyed the trip

Our Boat was great. Room was clean, bathroom spacious, bed comfy. Room refresh each day was nice, and they always remembered to leave an extra sheet as requested. Staff was friendly. Bar prices were reasonable. Some entrees were questionable, such as steak tartar & squid ink risotto. Great fruit options each day. A drawback one day was a bike ride of 7 miles, VERY LAME, VERY LAME. Bikes were in grt condition, and any issue was addressed by staff quickly. Other big LAME, having to pay $80 each of us for coffee, tea & water. I do not drink coffee or tea, and I did not drink $8 of water, much less $80. My wife said the coffee was forgettable. Also lame, for our last nite, we arrived at island mid-afternoon, and there was nothing open, nothing to do, thought I was on Gilligan's Island. Although sea was cold, staff did give us 2 opportunities to swim, which was nice & we did.

Croatia was beautiful and charming. I had just finished a tour in Italy with a different tour company, and this Inselhupfen tour was much better than that Italy tour. Our tour guides did a great job, and they were knowledgeable and friendly.

The charm of the islands
The terrific, helpful staff
The relaxing boat

Food, guides, staff, and other guests made this a great trip

Wonderful trip through the Ionian Isles. We

The admin and set up for the tour was great. We loved Vietnam and the people, particularly Hoi An area.
However, the bikes provided were not as promised. We requested and paid for ebikes. On the hottest, worst day we got standard 5 speed bikes...but not all the gears worked and it was such a slog. Some of the ebikes in the south were terrible and"jumped" if you were going fast enough, which was difficult through the neighbourhoods of the Mekong Delta. I tried turning the power off but everytime I did, the chain came off. After the first day of extreme frustration I was given a different ebike the next day and that was a big improvement. The time on the boat was disappointing: the junk was nothing like we pictured. We spent too much time transferring for our junk to one or two smaller boats and they were not comfortably set up. The time transferring on the buses was too long. I would not recommend this trip. Our guides were exceptional and resorts were beautiful but we had so little time to enjoy them. We were at the resorts because the Mekong Delta boat section was cancelled because the boat company went out of business. They provided other shorter boat tours which I didn't particularly think were good value...would rather have spent more time enjoying the peace and quiet of the resorts.
Finally, for us, a group bike riding trip (this was our first) does not suit us. Eating at long tables in noisy restaurants did not suit us either. We had some good times for sure and enjoyed most of the people but we are self-guided riders from here on in.
