Excellent from start to finish. The boat was lovely, the crew were great, the guides fantastic, the bikes were good & the food exceptional bearing in mind it was produced by 2 chefs for 30 people from a small galley kitchen.

Exceeded our expectations 👍

I had a great time and truthfully, everything came together from boat and bike to make it a great experience. The two guides, Jordy and Lia were exceptional. They went above the call of duty to make sure each of us enjoyed the trip. The food Joel cooked was delicious. The captain, Marni, did a great job maneuvering the boat and his open cabin policy was much appreciated as I enjoyed watching him drive the boat and seeing the view from the control room. Matje did a wonderful job, keeping our rooms clean and generally taking care of everything and Richard also did a great job supporting everyone.
I had a wonderful trip and plan to do another boat and bike tour.

Our Guides, Elize and Stine were just great. They kept us safe, on-track and well informed. They are such pleasant, competent and women! Just delightful. the bikes worked perfectly and the schedule seemed just right.
Captain Ad and his crew were very competent, efficient and friendly. The Atlantis is a wonderful, well maintained and well operated ship. It was really fun to help set the sails and get some lessons from the crew. Our fellow passengers were also part of a fine experience.
The breakfast and lunch menus were pretty repetitive but ok.
Overall, this trip could not have been any better in any significant way..

Can’t find enough superlatives to do justice to this! The tour guides, the food , the top notch ‘hotel’ boat and the organisation were all brilliant. If they could have fixed the weather on a couple of days, it would have been 6 out of 5

This was our second boat bike tour and overall, the experience was really good. The Gandalf is an older converted barge which takes about 20 passengers.
We received a very warm welcome from the staff who were great – they were friendly and very helpful for the entire trip. The meals were delicious and generous, just like home cooked food. Miko our tour leader did a wonderful job of herding the group and arranging interesting excursions and visits along the way.
The riding was very pretty, often going through fields, little villages and mostly on cycle paths. Perfect Dutch cycling conditions and the distances were very manageble between 36 – 50 kms a day.
The skipper was flexible so that on the occaisional wet morning we could stay on the boat which then dropped us off so we could cycle the remaining distance.
A group of us preferred to cycle more quickly so we cycled seperately from the other group led by Miko.
Our fellow passengers were just delightful, we all looked out for each other and we really enjoyed getting to know them.
The only downside was that the cabins were not airconditioned which made sleeping quite uncomfortable because we had some hot weather. The portholes opened but there was no facility for cross ventilation. Fans were provided which helped, however they were noisy so maybe they need updating.

Your accommodation is aboard one of our ships or sailing ships, in well-equipped cabins that provide a comfortable stay and a different view every morning. We have a variety of cabin types, with different comfort levels and extras; all of them have private bathrooms. On all of our ships you’ll enjoy good food (breakfast, a take-out lunch, and a three-course dinner), drinks and an international traveling party.
