Our guide was outstanding! The food was great! This was our 9th or 10th Boat Bike experience!

Great trip from start to end! I’d go again in a heartbeat!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Boat and Bike tour from Maastricht to Amsterdam. Our guide led us on daily trips through lovely towns and the beautiful countryside, providing interesting cultural and historical information and stops along the way. All of the staff were very friendly and made sure everyone on board was well accommodated. The food was delicious, and our chef took great pride in providing an interesting menu throughout the trip. We enjoyed spending time with new friends from different countries, along with the several friends we were traveling with. I have recommended a Boat and Bike trip to many people since our return!

Staying on the Gandolf was great fun and the bike riding through the flat countryside and quaint villages was a real joy. Though the cabin was small, the mattress was comfortable and there were places to store your things. It was nice to have my own small bathroom. Showers were a bit tricky as the water fell back towards the wall and fixtures than on me. The food was plentiful and delicious, and dinners were all varied. Hans and Saskia did a great job getting us where we needed to be and were friendly and helpful. The bikes were in great condition. Our group used both ebikes and regular bikes, all of which worked well. Joan was a great guide with plenty of information and lots of experience biking in The Netherlands. He made sure the bikes were fixed to our liking. He confidently and calmly led the way and, almost every evening, offered a walking tour around the towns where we stayed. He found out what the group was interested in and made sure to include things related to these interests as we peddled our way across the country. We lucked out with the weather with clear, sunny days. Remember to stop for water in the afternoons and stay hydrated if you run in to this kind of weather.

Great holiday, great food. Communication and organisation all very well set up. A bit of cycle practice and awareness is recommended before you take your holiday.

It was an incredible tour, The food was amazing. Ann Marie was an incredible cook and you could tell she loved what she did. The captain had a great sense of humor and navigated us throughout Holland seamlessly. Thomas was everywhere taking care of all the fine details with the captain, helping Ann Marie during breakfast and dinner and making sure all our bikes fit us well and were running properly. Last but certainly not least Ingrid did an amazing job of shepherding us each day across the countryside, stopping just the right amount of times and provided us with the rich history of each region. On the one rainy day we encountered, Ingrid and the captain were flexible in changing the plans so that we got to tour a town then still got a ride in at the end of the day. While we were gone each day we would come back to sweet smelling rooms and fresh linen from Sarah. We could not have asked for a better crew or a better time.

One of the best trips I e ever been on! The staff was great, the boat was perfect, and the activities were fun. Saw so much and learned a lot. Your company has the perfect formula for a wonderful and memorable vacation. I will definitely be going on another one of your tours and sharing my experience with my friends. Thanks for a great week!

I had a lot of fun on this boat bike trip (Maastricht to Amsterdam). The guide was upbeat and the short stops on the daily rides were interesting and enjoyable. However the guide seemed disorganized and I found most of the meals rather disappointing. If I go on another trip with this company, I will choose a premium tour.

Fantastic meals. Beautiful countryside.

This was our first boat and bike trip ever. It was a great experience and we will likely gather a few others and do another. The guide was excellent, the food was very good, the skipper and crew were great. Everything went as planned and we not only enjoyed the riding through The Neterlands, we learned alot. The other riders were friendly and engaging. Our only hiccup was finding the boat in Maastricht. If you are looking for a luxury cruiser, the Gandolf is not that. If you prefer a small group with a wonderful crew, good food and a boat with character, this is your boat.
