Very well organised. The boat Swiss Crown is comfortable, and the catering was exceptional. Very solicitous staff. Jurgen was the team leader for the biking – good info but sometimes not terribly precise in English; best he uses photos to show turns on paths, etc. a few rainy days was not the tour’s fault, was good despite that!

Hi, Here are my main comments: 1. The rides were short and dull, a part from the Heidelberg day 2. Route information is poor, many of us lost our ways 3. Prices od consumptions on the boat were too high

Friendly staff, amazing food, very organized iternaries and bike routes. Would plan another trip with this company again. Excellent

We are a 70 year old couple in functional condition so we enjoy active travel. The Boat Bike trip from Amsterdam to Brugge was GREAT! We have done other similar trips through the years but this one was giant steps above. The Fluvius boat is a charming and comfortable converted barge with a pleasant set up and roof deck for nice weather times. The only short coming of the boat was a need for ventilation in the compact cabins. The crew was personable and always helpful. We enjoyed each member and appreciated the hard work they all put in to make everything nice on our floating home for a week. The Captain was warm, generous and proud of his ship. Now, about the cycling guides. Arnold and Maria-Jose are a power couple that have chosen this life after full careers in other fields. They come to this calling with life experience and their passion clearly shows! They were at once energizing, attentive to the route, safety and the needs of our cycling group of over 20 adults. The rest stops they have curated are local, rich, and charming. I could gush on about this couple and the collective talents they displayed. Five stars falls short of how much we enjoyed being with them. We wish them all the best they deserve.

We just finished a week on De Amsterdam exploring southern Holland, and we already wish to return. Everything about the tour was wonderful. We loved the itinerary, the ship was everything we had hoped for and sparkling clean, and the provided maps and Ride With GPS gave us confidence in navigating our way around. Our guides Carla, Marielle, and Tom answered all of our questions patiently and thoroughly, and cared that our trip was successful and fun. The first day of biking there was a terrible storm forecast, but the itinerary was adjusted so that everyone could at least get out for the short route, which was appreciated, as the day was not entirely lost. The first night our air conditioner didn’t cool our room, but we asked to have it looked at, and when we returned later in the day, it worked perfectly, and there were no further issues with it. We found that Boat Bike Tours delivered everything that was promised, and that was a huge relief as we booked this tour in 2019 for 2020 travel, and could not take the tour until 2022 because of COVID.

As with past Boat Bike Tours I’ve taken, this one was a good value, well-organized, and had competent, friendly staff. Our weather was very cooperative, but I still had a very good time. Stories told by the guides of history and legend were exceptional. Facilities were good, if looking a bit worn in the cabins.

This is a splendid way to travel! Boat Bike Tours contracts with a lovely barges, we were on The Fleur, with a great captain and crew, and I thoroughly enjoyed our knowledgeable guides. This was the first time for this route, so we were all having a new adventure together which was fun. I had a medical mishap and everyone was great in assuring I was well taken care of.

Our entire experience with Boat/Bike Tours was efficient ,with the administration providing clear, helpful information with prompt customer service. The boat Lena Maria and her crew could not be faulted. Our accomodation was ideal and the number of participants on board was perfect for socialising easily. The skipper, cycling guide , chef and hostess did everything possible to make this trip memorable. The meals were of exceptional quality. The bikes and additional equipment were presented in top condition each morning, and the organisation of the rides and the interesting local information added to the enjoyment of the week. We would certainly recommended this to others as an active but relaxed holiday. Thank you all.

This was our second tour excellent boat first class crew and guide and what wonderfull food !!!!!

beautiful weather, cycling and boat accomodations in Italy
