This was an absolutely great trip. Loved our boat and crew. Everything was top notch. Already planning another trip for next spring.

We had a great experience on our tour of the Dalmatian Islands of Croatia. The guides, Mario and Igor, were fantastic, as were the cook, the captain and the rest of the crew. Highly recommend this tour!

Excellent experience, second bike tour with Boat Bike. Options for less aggressive and more aggressive bikers. Not a good choice for people in bad physical shape or road bikers who want to go 50 km an hour. Food was good but not fancy. All the desserts were superb. Options for vegetarians and vegans but I would not choose that if you are not. Excellent guys Thomas and Fred who were mostly patient. Thomas had a particular interest in making the ride cultural and had an interest in history. Accommodations were beyond basic but definitely not luxury. Cabins are well designed and there is plenty of hot water. The crew on the Fleur was exceptional all the way around. I particularly enjoyed Rieke and Majda. The chef Barbara was a lot of fun and did a great job. We will go on another tour with them.

We had a wonderful trip. The boat was comfortable and very clean. The staff were great. Biking was fun and well planned out. I would recommend for sure.

We went on the Magnifique II for the second time and have been on the III and IV previously. We always choose the Magnifique boats because of the excellent quality/care and friendliness of the Magnifique crew. The ownership and staff have always been amazing. This time was no different. Our guides in the past have been extremely knowledgeable of the sites and explained everything in detail. Our main tour guide on this trip seemed to be more interested in just getting to the final destination. Missed visting some of the beautiful castles/churches and seemed to not have the interest in sharing details with us or possibly didn’t know about them. The Magnifique boats are superb and we hope to go again next fall.

We started enjoying this Boat Bike tour from the moment we saw the Barge. We had a wonderful week on the Hanseatic Tour; never realised Holland was so interesting and beautiful, made all the more enjoyable by our lovey crew and guide Patrick. Food and facilities were excellent with lovely extra touches from our chef with nibbles when we arrived back from a days cycling and again after dinner in the evening. Whole crew mucked in at dinner and nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely book another tour.

Everything was excellent. The whole crew were first class, Friendly and fun. The food was good, the tours well thought out and guided. Fortunately the group of guests blended together and made the week a success.

Had a super time riding the Hanseatic Cities tour which was greatly helped by wonderful weather. Boat comfy, cabins quite spacious and very clean and plenty of lounging space on the top deck. The crew were quite superb, helpful, friendly and the whole experience relaxing. Our chef did a great job too. Patrick , our guide and mentor was full of interesting information about the places visited and set a fair pace when out cycling so that all the cyclists felt included. It helped that all 17 cyclists got on well and we formed into happy and friendly group. Happy to recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to enjoy some excellent but not hugely taxing cycling and getting to know this historic part of the Netherlands in more detail. Already looking at future tours.

The Hansa highlights tour was fantastic. The biking routes were amazing. I was so impressed with the multitude of biking paths, open recreation areas and natural beauty. The crew on De Holland was beyond great. They could not have done a better job. There was an issue with the boat. How it was handled was a great example of a company with class! Things happen, especially with boats, it is how it is handled that makes the difference. The app really helped us stay on the right path and was reLly appreciated. L’ubie (sp), Andre and Norman were outstanding. Thanks for such a great trip. Well worrh waiting 3 years. We are already researching our next trip.

Our bike and boat vacation on the ‘Melody’ exceeded our expectations. The crew and tour guides were professional, attentive, and very accommodating. The accommodations—from our spacious, well-appointed and comfortable cabin to the first-rate meal provisions—receive our highmarks! The icing on the cake was the camaraderie developed amongst fellow passengers. It was an interesting and fun group of people with whom to spend a week discovering the beautiful islands of Southern Dalmatia.
