Reviews

The information provided prior to starting the trip has an incorrect point that customers need to be aware of (I hope it has been fixed by now) It contains a requirement for participants to bring their own helmet. However on premium boats they are provided and particiants might bring their own from various places on the planet (inconvenient) or be out of pocket unnecessarily. I’ve already communicated this to Boat Bike Tours but disappointingly (and not surprisingly) have had no response. Once on the boat everything was fantastic but the boat experience is run by a separate company, Magnifique. My trip was on Magnifique II. All the crew were lovely and the boat is beautiful. If my review had been for Magnifique only I would have given 5 stars.

Wonderful experience. Beautiful boat. Excellent catering. Great organisation and guidance of Bike Tours.

We went on a Hansa cities cycle tour in the Netherlands on the Magnifique II. It was fantastic. The crew on the boat were awesome. The guides were awesome. They were all very friendly and worked as a team. They would help us with whatever we needed. The cycling was great with lots to see. The guides were very knowledgeable and funny and made the trip a pleasurable experience. The chef was also exceptional and dinner was something to look forward too every day. The boat and cabins were way more luxurious that I had expected. I give this trip the full 10 out of 10, something I have not done before on Trust Pilot.

We did the Historic Hanseatic Cities Tour aboard the Magnifique II in August. What a spectacular time !! The crew were fantastic, the food was exceptional and the tour guides (Frans and Brian) were so much fun to ride with. It was such a wonderful time and it went by way to fast !! Thank you for all the memories that we will carry with us…until the next trip with Boat Bike tours !!

A fantastic trip turned into phenomenonal trip by the staff! Service was fantastic, crew was very helpful, tour guides where kind and willing to work with our limitations and finally the food was prepared by very talented chefs which made meal times a delight. Would definitely recommend booking on the Magnifique II!

Excellent bike routes, comfortable accommodation, supportive friendly guides who were happy for me to do my own thing

My wife and I were very happy with our “premium” boat bike trip from Brugge to Amsterdam. The newer blue e-bikes (with “Boat Bike Tours” branding) are everything you need, and we are very experienced e-bike riders. Plenty of power and battery for the flat terrain and occasional headwinds. The available long or short, or fast or slow bike rides offered each day gave us lots of options. The accommodations on the boat were great. We got the premium cabins, which are on the main deck of the Magnifique II, very important to me, as my knees could not have handled the steep stairs to a cabin on the lower deck. All the boat’s crew were very friendly, spoke good English, and worked super hard! Our every need was met. Meals and our bike tour guides were fantastic. I only wish laundry service could be somehow made available, as those of us traveling from the West Coast of North America could pack with less luggage.

Loved the tour, the bike rides, the food, our congenial staff and fellow travelers. There were some organizational glitches and confusing communication that effected me adversely, but I would still go again in a heartbeat.

The lodging, food, onboard service, and pace of the tour was excellent. The guides need more experience with roadside bike repair – sometimes they didn’t have the right equipment to tighten loose handlebars, fix moving seats, or pump flat tires. This needs to be a priority.

Una settimana perfetta. Posti bellissimi, e la Magnifique II,pur essendo di medie dimensioni, è confortevole. Lo staff è professionale,gentile e disponibile, il cuoco, molto bravo. Le due guide, Ester e Rosanna sono state presenti e pazienti. L’atmosfera era quella di una grande famiglia.
