Cologne to Mainz trip Excellent director, Julia, made everything easy. Right level of support. Food excellent and abundant. Area beautiful, cycling relatively easy.
This was one of the best tours I've ever taken. Our Tour Leader PK was the best part of the trip. He kept things lively and fun no matter what we were doing, and the time flew by on the bus. From Rome to Venice, Germany and Amsterdam the Christmas part was full of glorious Christmas Markets and good cheer. We had such a good time we forgot where we were sometimes. Paris was the highlight for me, we did an excursion "Paris like the locals" and saw everything from The Arc de Triumph to Notre Dame in beautiful beret's that Peter brought us. Truly one of the best days of my life!!! Switzerland was glorious with a splendid Chalet and a really fun bar right next door. We finished off with Lake Como, Pisa and Florence. New Year's was in Rome, with all of it's splendor. How could you not fall in love with a trip like this??? Please take this tour, I promise you'll not be disappointed. Can't wait to do it all over again!!

The trip was just wonderful. Our tour guide, Darius, was the best, kept us informed and was super helpful at all the locations we visited. Our driver, Pascal, was also pretty awesome, got us around safely and with good humor. Our group was the coolest, couldn't have asked to travel with better people. Everyone had a great time. I would travel again with Darius, he was fun and funny and knew all the best places. Loved the Expat tour, would do it again.

Imagine pedaling through a fairytale landscape, where medieval castles rise above vineyard-clad hills and the gentle current of the Rhine River accompanies your every turn. The Rhine Valley Bike & Barge tour package offers an eight-day, relaxed-paced bicycle tour from Koblenz to Mainz, perfectly suited for seniors and experienced travelers looking for comfort and cultural immersion.
This guided trip weaves through iconic German towns like Boppard and Mainz, unveiling the UNESCO-listed Middle Rhine Valley’s legendary castles, timbered villages, and sweeping river views. Cycling short, easy sections each day, you’ll have plenty of time to stop in charming towns, sample local wines, and explore Roman ruins or bustling markets. The beauty of this journey lies not only in the scenery but in the convenience of your floating hotel—the MS Olympia—meaning you only unpack once and return each evening to your cozy cabin and delicious meals.
A standout feature is the seamless combination of cycling adventure and effortless travel by barge, which lets you experience the region’s highlights without the hassle of daily transfers. Knowledgeable guides ensure you enjoy both the sights and the stories behind them, making this tour ideal for first-time cycle tourists or anyone seeking a gentle introduction to Europe’s riverside treasures.
For travelers eager to explore Germany’s wine country, medieval heritage, and riverine beauty in comfort and style, the Rhine Valley Bike & Barge tour is truly a unique and memorable getaway.
This was definitely a trip of a lifetime! We had the best tour guide Antonio, he made everyone feel special and kept a close eye on everyone making sure we enjoyed our trip!! It was definitely a lot of walking especially in Paris but once you are there you know why (traffic is crazy). All the hotels were nice and we really enjoyed the excursions. This was our first trip over seas and I feel this was the best way to see a lot in a short amount of time and then we could decide what we would want to see again in more detail if we go back. Expat has really put thought into the tours to make sure you get the most for your money!! So glad we decided to take this tour.
