We had a fabulous experience! Wonderful ship, fantastic meals, knowledgeable, friendly staff, great experience everywhere we went.

So many thoughts and good feels I’ll try to sum up here. Our lovely neighbors recommended BoatBikeTours and we immediately booked our trip. 8 days Brugge to Amsterdam October 2022. Aside from a couple rainy rides, the weather was spectacular. Even in the sprinkles, the temps were wonderful. Magnifique lll staff was top notch and amenities were pure luxury. Every single detail was exquisite: breakfast lunch dinner expertly designed, bar offerings and service, room layout and amenities w/ spectacular daily refresh, glorious outdoor spaces and best boat cruise vibes. The ship was simply the best and we wouldn’t change a thing. Special hug and scritch to Sammie our canine companion. Our BBT biking guides were almost beyond words. We appreciated that they were always in sync with our crew at the perfect speed and perfect itinerary, with bikes ready!, and so much knowledge every step of the way. Peter, Jens, and Margaret are the coolest, funniest, sweetest, most skilled biker guides you’ll find. My husband had a special bond with Peter the Belgian, and Jens the Frieslandian was my jam. IN TUNE with each of us the entire time. Beer, local history and cuisine, routes and detours, biking safety and traffic navigation, overall awesomeness and killer vibes. The three of them played extremely well off each other and each one of our 25person group! DREAM TEAM. The BoatBikeTour is expertly coordinated and an extraordinary way to experience the land and culture plus get a little exercise! I highly recommend these tours and look forward to our next one. Croatia?!

Very professionally run tour. Enjoyed all daily bike rides including Points of interest, coffee shops & museums visited. Night-time guided walks through cities where we were docked were lovely & informative. Accommodation on board was excellent. Meals & service exemplary.

We enjoyed our trip on the Magnifique III. It is a wonderful ship that is well appointed and maintained. The guides were exceptionally patient and well versed in the areas we traveled. The food on the ship was wonderful. We traveled with a diverse group of people who made the trip more memorable.

All connections were made seamlessly. Magnifique IV is a beautiful ship. Accommodations and food were fantastic. Guides were amazing and helped make the trip so much fun. Great value for the money.

This was our 2nd trip on Magnifque II (different destination). Very nice accommodations and great food and great staff. We made a lot of friends on our trip and will probably book a 3rd trip for next year!

Magnifique III was exactly that – magnifique! Food was awesome, crew & guides were wonderful! Biking was excellent, once we got used to the wind!

the boat is luxury and charming, all the crews are nice, we have different kind of activities every night after dinner, my favorite one is beer night , and the city walk tour after dinner is also wonderful. the dinner every day is so delicious, and the snack for we back to the boat is also wonderful. all my friends look the pictures i shared on facebook all feel like to join the trip.

The tour leaders, Marleen and Jens, were key to our positive experience. They were efficient, helpful, entertaining and knowledgeable. We covered a lot of territory. The only downside was that I could not take as many pictures along the route or I would have fallen behind. We appreciated that there were additional E-bikes available for those that found the rides a little too challenging. We appreciated that we could come back to a snack and dinner each night. The food was very well prepared and delicious, thanks to Peter, the chef. It would have nice to be served more of the local dishes from the Netherlands and Belgium while on the boat. The service from Alex and Anika was very professional. Unfortunately they didn’t have much variety of liqueurs (no orange liqueur or Amaretto) to add to tea or coffee. It was great to meet new people and chat about our day afterwards. All in all, a great experience!

I would recommend this beautifully curated trip to anyone who loves cycling, sight-seeing, delicious food and excellent accommodations. The staff were great fun and full of local wisdom. I loved every minute of it.
