    Veronica

    Asked on January 10th, 2024

    Do we have to pay for fresh drinking water on the barge? Do we use the same bike every day and are these easy to set up (seat height etc)?

      There are water dispensers on board where you can fill your water bottles, free of charge (both sparkling and still water). Regarding the bikes, yes, you will ride the same bike everyday. When you book we always ask you to provide us with your height so that the bikes can be pre set up, but they are easy to fix if you need it and the crew can always help.

Can’t find the answer to your question?
Reach out to the experts at Girolibero - Cycling holidays with your enquiry, they usually respond within 5 hours.
