The trip was amazing. The guides were great, the food fantastic, accommodations excellent and the bikes well maintained. The sights and scenery were terrific and the cultural stops educational and fun. Oh, and the wine tasting excellent.

A great trip. Wonderful food, guides, and beautiful cycling! I highly recommend.

Fabulous itinerary, wonderful staff on ship and bike guides. The trip of a lifetime in Holland. The ship De Amsterdam is very nice, however the food and the budget for the food was not good. Very inferior, poor quality food and quantities. Clearly the budget for food on this boat is very very low.Especially for a an active bike tour it was disappointing. The other highlights overshined this part of the trip.

One of the best trips ever! Great organization from start to finish. I booked directly with Boat bike tours online. No issues. The boat was wonderful, the guides superior, the chef exceptional and the captain/boat owner was a great navigator of the boat in all respects. I had a regular bike which, although somewhat industrial, was excellent. It was fitted to my needs and well maintained. The trip is hilly, so if you are not an experienced cyclist, the e-bike is a great option. If there is one very minor concern it would be, for some people, especially big eaters, the evening meals, although delicious, may not have been sufficient.

Great trip. Excellent food, friendly guides and crew. When we said we would appreciate swimming opportunities, the guides quickly arranged for that. This was my fifth trip with Boat Bike Tours and I hope to go again.

Luxurious accommodations and exemplary service from the whole crew.

We just finished an incredible trip with Boat Bike Tours! The crew was efficient and friendly, and the food was excellent. Our cycling guides were knowledgeable and helpful, and even stepped in to help us when there was a last minute cancellation of a hotel we were booked to stay at after the tour – they definitely went above and beyond to make sure that we had a good holiday! Cycling through The Netherlands and Belgium was easy and safe, with so much beautiful scenery and many interesting cultural sites to stop at. This wasn’t our first bike and barge trip, and it won’t be our last!

We had a fantastic time. Guides were great. Boat crew especially our chef Ian and hostess Olivia were outstanding. Loved the fresh baguettes and bread brought on board every morning by the first mate. The captain Martin was warm and friendly all the time. Regular bikes were custom made for the trip, the rental e-bikes could have been better, but worked well enough to make for an enjoyable trip along the canals.

We had a fantastic week riding from Amsterdam to Brugge in early June. Our tour guides Hans and Bert guided us through the beautiful countryside in Netherlands and Belgium. The Magnifique IV was a beautiful boat, much nicer than the website shows. The staff worked tirelessly to accommodate all our needs. Dinners were varied and yummy. I used an ebike which made the biking on mostly flat paths enjoyable. The week was beyond our expectations and highly recommend if you enjoy an active holiday.

Had a fantastic time Mikala are guide was excellent as were all the staff.
