The boat was great! The staff were great! The bike routes were spectacular! Our bike ride leader was fantastic! Book a tour with Boat Bike Tours for the best way to see The Netherlands!0

We enjoyed our week on the Vivienne cruising down the Danube. This riverboat was clean and our room was pleasant. There was plenty of good food with lots of variety. My major complaint was that the e-bike was too heavy. It did seem like we had to rush on the cycling days. The bus tour of Vienna was poor, unfortunately. The talks to prepare for the biking days were a little too long especially since we had a guide. We did enjoy the 70’s evening dress-up and the karaoke. Overall it was a great experience and we saw many places. Many thanks to the captain and all the crew.

The staff was attentive and fun! The food was amazing! And the tour was well organized and so picturesque!

The week from the beginning was wonderful. The staff go over and above to make everyone feel welcome and the experience the best.

Even though I was unable to cycle, I thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Our accommodation was clean, comfortable, roomy and easily accessible – thanks to Mareja and Marloes. The captain and crew made extra effort to make sure we all had a positive experience. The food was fabulous – many thanks to Petr! The sailing was exciting – thanks to Floris and Jonathan. The last day of sailing from Stavoren to Enkhuizen was the perfect ending to a memorable trip. All of the above made for very happy guests who enjoyed the conviviality.

50 % not positive. Overall O.K. experience. No hot showers. Meals O.K. but 1 dinner was too spicy and too hot to eat. To get an alternative meal there was none, explanation was no provisions so there was nothing to give. Breakfast and lunch was a repeat of the same thing everyday. Our group who paid for a guided experience. Their were no guides???? The option for a “Guide” was to have a repair bike guy who repeated he’s not a guide, to do it. We still ended up lost on more than one occasion. Not fun adding unwanted distance to the ride. Along with no explanations of sites or history is not what we had in mind for the trip. Needed a flat tire repair at the end of the ride, in a city location and thank goodness not in the country side. We couldn’t tell exactly where we were to get located and have bike fixed. Tire pump in bag provide didn’t work.

We had a great week! The Flora crew were wonderful and the food was delicious! We cycled through beautiful countryside and towns with so much history and charm. Our bike leader Tom was also fantastic. He looked after us very well. We enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend it once again.

Best Vacation Ever!! What a fabulous holiday. From start to finish this was a wonderful, well planned and enjoyable trip. The boat Magnifique III is beautiful and so comfortable. I stayed in a suite which was spacious and cozy comfortable. The crew on the boat were outstanding. Thank you so much to Maria, Ronald and David our guides for our rides. You were so pleasant and caring and made sure we were all safe, comfortable and took us to very interesting stops. Hanna and Alexandra did a phenomenal job serving our meals and tending the bar. Always with smiles and laughter. The food was top notch and I extend my thanks to the chef. Our captain was a joy to meet and allowed us to visit him in the wheelhouse and explained the boat operations. The very best part of this trip is the people you meet, Italian, British, Norwegian, German, South African, American and Canadian. We lived and rode together as one! I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this holiday and can’t wait for my next trip with Boat Bike Tours.

Organized and people

This trip was wonderful. Our chef Sara provided wonderful theme based meals. Everything, including snacks, etc. was outstanding. Filippo our captain was magnificent. Helmut our guide was the perfect leader for our bike rides, our translations, our experiences. Loic was our captain in training. Hopefully he has enjoyed the transition to human cargo. This team worked so well together; helping each other as needed. This barge bike experience exceeded our expectations.
