Awesome experience! Every aspect of our boat bike tour was first rate. We would definitely do it again.

I booked this tour hoping for vacation with my 2 daughters 19 and 21 that would combine exercise, good food and quality time together visiting the Dutch countryside where I wouldn’t have to do too much planning. All of these expectations were met! Most of the people on the trip were my age and older (mid-fifities and up), but it didn’t matter at all to my daughters. The boat, Magnifique II, is very nice and the staff more than excellent with a real mind for customer service. The cook, Phyllis was extremely jolly (she reminded me a bit of Julia Child :-) and the food was delicious, healthy and varied. The only thing not in our favor was the weather, but even that didn’t keep us from having an amazing time. I would certainly recommend this trip!

Had a very enjoyable trip with Boat Bike Tours. We did the Amsterdam – Bruges trip on Magnifique II. The staff were very professional, the atmosphere on the boat was relaxed, and the chef did an outstanding job. All the staff were very helpful and the boat was kept in an excellent condition. I highly recommend this boat and trip.

We had a great trip on the Magnifique ll. The boat crew and the tour guides were all fantastic. The food was very good and the portions were very generous.Cycling through Belgium and The Netherlands was a wonderful way to see those two countries.

The staff and guides were great. The food was excellent. This was the best part of our three week Europe trip. We had so much fun we’re already looking our next trip.

Our experience was above our expectations. The staff were wonderful in terms of service from the cleanliness of the cabins, food and beverage service, and tour directors. They were always helpful and friendly and keen to ensure we enjoyed our time. The e-bicycles were very good and allowed us to consider the “long” routes on all days including the windy ones. The barge was very well appointed with modern facilities that were incredibly comfortable and very enjoyable. The GPS routes were very good when the tour directors followed them so well worth the effort to download ahead of time. It was a little disconcerting when the tour director left the planned route and thus a sense of need (stress) to ensure you didn’t get separated from the group. The meals prepared by Chef Bas were excellent. We would highly recommend this tour!

A thoroughly enjoyable trip for my family and I. The staff on the Magnifque II were so professional and competent …. and nice. The tour leaders, Corrie and Hester were extremely knowledgeable and adapted the days to suit the needs of the group. The boat staff, Gaz, Marnek, Chris, Damaris and Gabby were super efficient, and all in all it was a great week. Will recommend!

Fabulous trip , great food, fantastic cabin, good bikes, great company.

Exceptionally well organized by caring, approachable staff. Remarkably comfortable accommodations, delicious food (the chef was easily willing to handle vegetarian and other requests). My only reservation is what could have been a better explanation of expectations for an e-bike (they are heavy and cumbersome; we changed to traditional bicycles after the first day). The various daily stops at interesting sites, and the walking tours of the cities after dinner were appreciated; the countryside was beautiful.

We sailed for 7 days / 8 nights on the beautiful Magnifique II. The Captains and all crew were very friendly and genuinely keen to make sure all the guests had a great time; nothing was too much trouble. The Chef and food were also magnificent; every single meal!. The Tour Guides were both warm and friendly, very helpful and knowledgeable which really made our daily riding and evening town walks experiences brilliant. Boat Bike Tours were very helpful to deal with and deliver a fantastic holiday.
