We have a wonderful experience with everything. The food was amazing, the crew lovely and polite, everything very organized.

The crew and guides made this an amazing vacation! Everything on the boat was great…food, drinks, hospitality and the professionalism of the captain. Love the small boat experience! Our bike guides made for a stress free/fun riding experience by letting us know what to expect. Highly recommend!

My wife and I were on a week long sailing & biking trip aboard the Elizabeth which surpassed our expectations. We attribute this foremost to the crew, and then to our fellow passengers whom we sailed with. The crew on this sailing were kind and accommodating – each doing their jobs well and going above and beyond, helping to make our time aboard the ship enjoyable and memorable. It is, of course, total luck of the draw as to whom our fellow passengers would be, and we were indeed very lucky, as we enjoyed sailing and biking with some very nice people. The bikes provided were of decent quality, and the ships crew had our bikes lined up and ready to go at each port. We thoroughly enjoyed the trails and the scenery of the places we biked throughout the Netherlands, before returning to our ship in the afternoon. Our room onboard the Elizabeth was spacious enough, and well kept and clean. The meals and snacks prepared by the chef were a delight, and our time sailing on the Elizabeth was a joy. We hope to join Boat & Bike Tours for another adventure in the future.

Fantastic trip, crew was great – helpful and friendly. The boat was clean and beautiful. There were some maintenance issues which the crew dealt with efficiently but as a result the route was changed. A bit more information about things to see on the route would be a benefit as it was unguided.

Sailing aboard the ELIZABETH was one of the best vacations that I have ever experienced. The crew were terrific. We ate like queens and kings. And the bicycle touring was like something out of a fairy tale. Gorgeous scenery along canals and picturesque Dutch landscapes. I hope to do another tour soon.

This is our fourth trip with boat bike tours and we have a confirmed reservation with this company in October 2024. This is an exceptional tour company. Every trip has been wonderful. This trip, sailing and biking is the best yet. I cannot praise enough the team who took care of us on the boat. Max, the chef was truly amazing and presented delicious meals that were innovative and enjoyable. Sabina made sure that we were comfortable and helped us tremendously with whatever need we had. Ryan who helped the captain and did extra work we needed was a wonderful sailor and took care of everything on the boat. Alwin, the captain was truly a gifted captain who guided our boat beautifully and gave a briefing every day. The boat was well taken care of, the cabins were clean, towels were provided whenever needed and the living spaces were comfortable and always clean. Great bike riding too with excellent maps and GPS. We sailed invite with our grandsons and had the most wonderful time even with the wind and rain some days. The bikes were always in good order. A great trip that I highly recommend and a great tour company as well. The office staff is extremely helpful and it is easy to book.

Enjoyed great sailing, cycling and amazing food on our tour. We received a comprehensive briefing from our captain each morning explaining the days activities. Highly recommend this tour.

IJselmeer tour Super sailing, charming cycling, fabulous food, chummy company, comfrey cabins, excellent explanations, splendid ship. Altogether an amazing fantastic holiday!!! Thank you

Toured Ijsselmeer on the Leafde fan Fryslan. We had an amazing time with our captain Floris and the entire crew. Everything was well done and the experience was exceptional. We hope to do this again in the future.

Why not 5 stars – Some bicycle tours where not of a great interest, could be improved a lot – the organisation of the meals could be better explained before booking : almost some small sandwiches to prepare ourselves with the food we didn’t eat at breakfast Good points – great staff – good food for dinner – lovely sailboat – some beautiful places visited – very good time repartition between lasting on boat and discovering Holland by bicycle
