High water meant we had to stay in one (unattractive) location. However the Boat & Bike guides and the crew of the Fluer made sure our trio was excellent. They made up a new itinerary and we really enjoyed ourselves.

The guides and all of the staff members on The Fleur were outstanding and made our experience with Boat Bike Tours so very memorable. They were courteous, warm, competent, and their work made the tour seamless and totally enjoyable. That said, the best part had to be the food. Steph’s cuisine was amazing.

Just completed the Bruge to Paris tour on the Fleur. Very well organised and run. Steffie and her crew kept us well fed and safe along the waterways Guides Marcel and Michiel where expert guides and showed us all the highlights on the 14 day trip, kept us on course and adjusted the day to suit weather etc. very enjoyable.

The concept and route were great. Would have preferred an option each day as promised in literature of two different length rides and or to cycle alone using the Ride App.

The biking routes were very well planned. They had stops at interesting places along the way and we learned a lot of history about Netherlands as well as seeing some great landscape. The guides were tireless in helping everyone have solid rides and taking care of the bikes when we finished. The captain of the Fleur ran a fun but efficient ship and was well respected. The rest of the crew were very pleasant and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The chef made some fantastic meals to sustain us and there was plenty of food. We had a great time even though we are elderly, we were able to keep up. We met some fine people and maybe we’ll see them again on another trip.

Two friends of many years traveling together…We loved the barge, Fleur, and her captain Evert! Our home away from home for seven nights, we had a cozy cabin, lovely common area and fantastic crew. The chef, Camilo, bent over backwards to make everyone happy, and prepared delicious and creative dinners. Our fantastic guides, Michael and Maryanne were knowledgeable, patient, savvy (especially regarding weather planning!) and resourceful. I would definitely travel again with this company. Tip: Bring multiple clothing layers, wind and rain protection for this time of year. Waterproof shoe covers and gloves, a waterproof helmet cover recommended, in addition to the obligatory rain pants and jacket.

The captain , crew and guides were all amazing. The Fleur is a beautiful boat with extremely comfortable cabins. The food was excellent.

Warm hospitality, friendly people, great food and beautiful sights as we travelled through the country led by knowledgeable guides! It was always a delight to see the Fleur after a day of cycling – she felt like home. We had a trip to remember! Even though the weather was challenging it was a fantastic trip from start to finish.

The barge was very clean and comfortable including my private accommodations. Our guides always responded to my needs and concerns and always reassured me when I was unsure about some of the challenges of bicycling. Our meals were delicious. Our tours were interesting and meaningful and although the weather was not the best, I had a lot of fun!

We have just had a fabulous week on the Fleur with a lovely crew. Our captain Everett was a great communicator and was humerous with it. Our tour guides, Maryanne and Michiel were kind fun, kept us safe and full of great info. They adapted beautifully to the weather challenges.Our cabins were clean and comfortable, food was lovely.I appreciated the fresh flowers and potted ones on board. We had such a lovely time meeting new people and saw so much more than I had ever imagined.What a beautiful country Holland is, thanks for showing us your best.
