The entire affair went swimmingly. BBT activated a reservation I had made pre-pandemic and even remembered my e-bike request. Got a super guide, too, Tamara (Tamy). Accommodations were on a completely re-modeled, beautiful river cruiser in much better shape than all the other boats moored nearby. Days were expertly organized: bike, snack, bike, lunch, bike, beer at the barge. About 50K a day. Highly recommended, especially in the Netherlands.

This is our 3rd trip with BoatBikeTours. They were great thru the pandemic offering a refund or future trip: our choice! We chose the future trip and went to Hanseatic Tours learning about the ancient Hanseatic partnership of various countries for protection and trade alliances. Our guide was and always has been by request Tami Veneeman (or something like that). Her local knowledge is superb and if she doesn’t make up answers to questions, but researches and gets back to you timely. We learned a lot, had a super time fully guided, had a wonderful comfortable and spacious boat so didn’t have to pack and unpack daily. Breakfast and dinner were served daily, and the chef was magnificent! We also had a treat when we arrived back to the boat each day. We are truly looking forward to another trip with this company in the next year.

We travelled as a group of four Girls. This trip was beyond our expectations, We really had the most amazing trip. We couldn’t have dreamt of anything more perfect. The boat was fabulous, the food delicious and plenty of it it, the staff and organisers where absolutely amazing and very professional. Special thanks to Kristofor, Kreso,Mario & Aron you all worked so hard to make our holiday perfect, thank you so much. We really couldn’t have wished for anymore. Just one negative……..The bar bill. Wish you had listed the price of a glass of wine, it came as a big shock at the end of the week. We learnt from others when it was too late that we could have paid for a bottle and stored it in your fridge.

The experience was unique. The food exclusive and the guided tours interesting. I was very much impressed about the rooms that looked more like a 4 star hotel than cabins on a boat. Very comfortable bed, perfect shower and spacious bathroom

well organized . Everything went as planned ,eleven on the one occasion where there was a technical hitch a solution was found relatively quickly . our guide Andre was very good , very knowledgeable & very willing to help . he had a passion for his job & enjoyed what he was doing . My only comment is that the bikes should have been better with a better gearing system for faster gear change abilities .

This is my second Boat Bike Tour and I would book again. I loved the daily bike riding through the countryside and small towns of Holland. We met interesting, like minded people on board and the staff were phenomenal – fun, kind, caring, competent folks who really worked hard to make the week a success. Wilmie, our guide was amazing. Food was good and plentiful. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the beds are a bit hard and the pillows need to be improved.

Exploring the Netherlands by bike is a wonderful way to visit this country. What a joy it was to meet our boat at the end of a day of cycling. After a delicious dinner, drinks and socialization, we were always offered the option of a guided tour around the community where we were moored. The tour was very well organized. Our boat was clean, and accommodated a group of 19 perfectly. The crew was cheerful, friendly and always ready to help out. Our guide was very knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and went out of her way to share this information with us. Her love of her country was infectious. My only suggestion for improvement is that more attention needs to be paid to upfront bicycle maintenance. Regardless, I am already looking at Boat Bike’s future tour offerings.

Our trip was from Amsterdam to Brugge, 8 days. The crew and bike leaders were excellent – very personable and did a great job. Food was fantastic and the towns and cities we visited on the tour were inspiring. Being on a small boat, you got to know almost everybody, making it much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.

We had a marvelous time on our Boat Bike Tour of Southern Dalmatia! Our guides, Anna, Marko, and Luko, were just wonderful–full of energy, laughter, knowledge, and kindness. They and the entire crew made us feel welcome and at home. The food was excellent (maybe a bit too much of it) and the service was outstanding. The San Snova was comfortable and spotlessly clean. We highly recommend this adventure even for 70 year-olds (you may want to get an e-bike, though).

Great staff, great itinerary. Really looked after you.
