On a Bike & Boat holidays, our floating hotels will follow you along the various stages of the tour, and welcome you back on board in the afternoon, for a hearty dinner and a good night's sleep at your home-from-home. The formula has also proved popular with groups and associations keen for an unusual meeting venue and a holiday with a difference.
