islandhopping / inselhüpfen Arvostelua 

Es war einfach alles perfekt: Reiseleiter, Schiff, Schiffs-Crew, Planung der Reise, Information der Reisegruppe über geplante Aktivitäten, Freundlichkeit und Hilfsbereitschaft von Reiseleitern und Crew.
Ein besonderes Lob für beide Reiseleiter.

Die Guides waren absolut super. Die Touren ebenso. Gut, wir hatten auch grosses Glück mit den Mitreisenden. Ausnahmslos interessante, kultivierte Menschen. Hat grossen Spass gemacht!

Der gesamte Buchungsvorgang war supüer einfach und unkompliziert. Der Kontakt war durchgehend ausserordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Wir haben sehr ausführliche Unterlagen erhalten. Alle Informationen waren topaktuell, und das bis zur eigentlichen Ankunft am Urlaubsort.
Zum 14. Mal betrete ich die Planken der MS Panagiota, und das altbekannte Gefühl stellt sich sofort wieder ein: Ich bin nicht einfach nur ein Gast auf einem Schiff – ich komme nach Hause zu meiner Familie. Herzlichkeit, die von Innen kommt. Die Crew der Panagiota schafft vom ersten Moment an eine Atmosphäre, die im Massentourismus ihresgleichen sucht. Mit ihrer authentischen, herzlichen Art sorgen die Crewmitglieder dafür, dass sich jeder an Bord sofort geborgen und willkommen fühlt. Diese tiefe Verbundenheit ist der Hauptgrund, warum diese 14. Reise garantiert nicht meine letzte war.Kulinarische Sternstunden. Auch die Küche an Bord verdient höchste Anerkennung. Tag für Tag zaubert die Kombüse ausgezeichnete griechische Gerichte auf den Tisch. Von fangfrischem Fisch über perfekt abgeschmeckte Mezedes bis hin zu traditionellen Schmorgerichten – die kulinarische Vielfalt spiegelt die echte, unverfälschte Gastfreundschaft Griechenlands wider. Perfekt organisierte Biketouren trotz Sommerhitze. Ein grosses Lob gilt in diesem Jahr den Guides. Da die Temperaturen tagsüber sehr hoch waren, agierte das Team extrem professionell und flexibel. Die Radtouren wurden perfekt an die Hitze angepasst. Durch frühere Starts, schattige Routenführungen und gut gewählte Pausenorte an schattigen Plätzen oder Badebuchten wurden die Ausfahrten zu einem absolut sicheren und genussvollen Erlebnis. Die Guides bewiesen dabei nicht nur erstklassiges Revierwissen, sondern auch das nötige Fingerspitzengefühl für die Bedürfnisse der Gruppe.Fazit: Die MS Panagiota bleibt auch nach 14 Reisen ein absoluter Sehnsuchtsort. Die Kombination aus familiärem Flair, einer grossartigen Crew, herausragendem Essen und top-organisierten Biketouren macht diese Reise immer wieder einzigartig.

The whole trip was so well organized. The staff was amazing! The accommodations were comfortable and clean. The meals were fantastic! The bikes were great and the routes were enjoyable. We had a wonderful time! I would recommend this company to anyone who wants to see countries by bike.

Well organised tour on the Beautiful ship Magellen. All the boat staff and the tour staff were fabulous, professional, freindly and fun.
The food was excellent and served by the most efficient restaurant staff.
The bike tours were fabulous and took place across several islands. The bike tours could have been further in distance, especially on the islands of Brac, Hvar and Solta. I think the group of 30 cyclists was too big and potentially dangerous. It would have been nice to have more options for bike hire other than the ebikes, such as a hard tail MTB.
There was also opportunities to swim from the boat, which was perfect. However, I think the lenth of the swim stops could have been lengthened in time, rather than rushing into the harbour, where we couldn't swim.
Overall a great trip.

Beutiful villages and great guides

The staff on the boat were exceptional. The guides had to make some adjustments on biking routes and locations due to unfortunate circumstances. Everything went perfectly. Our guides were amazing.

This is one of the best vacations ever! The ship is beautiful and beautifully maintained. The staff are excellent and very nice as well. The food was gourmet in every respect. The bike guides were very helpful, personable and knowledgeable which made the whole experience fantastic! The ship is the perfect size for making friends and working efficiently and the bikes were well maintained. We are already looking to do another trip next year!

Hat super Spaß gemacht und war sehr gut organisiert. 👍

Ins Gesamt eine super schöne Woche. Meine 11. Reise mit Inselhüpfen! Dionysis war einfach hervorragend. Einer der besten Tourguides, den ich jemals gehabt habe, bzw nochmals erleben konnte. Der Koch hat uns wirklich mit einer fantastischen Küche verwöhnt. Die Weine am Bord könnten ein bisschen besser sein, aber auch nicht schlimm. Einziger wirklicher Kritikpunkt: 4 von den 6 Touren fanden am Nachmittag statt nach dem üppigen Mittagessen. Es war einfach sehr heiss bis sehr heiss oder sogar zu heiss. Die Touren am morgen waren viel besser. Euböa könnte man weglassen, dafür eine Tour auf Skiathos anbieten.
Pilion sehr schön. Skopelos spektakulär! Danke für diesen sehr gelungenen Urlaub!

Habe schon etliche Male " Inselhüpfen" gemacht Schiff, Velo, schwimmen.. das entspricht mir.
Habe festgestellt, dass die Preise enorm gestiegen sind. Dazu noch das Trinkgeld am Schluss. Wäre es nicht besser, die Anfangspreise (Wasser , Kaffee, TRinkgeld) von Anfang an zu deklarieren?
Warum ist 50% Reiseleiter u 50% Crew. Schade, die Crev kommt zu kurz.

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!
