This is the second tour that we have done and it was as good as the first. Good guides, good companions and an interesting route. The cabin on the Magnifique 3 was a bit bigger and more comfortable this time. Highlight was celebrating a Norwegian lady’s 91st birthday!!!

Highly recommend. Excellent modern clean boat, excellent food, pleasant staff. Bike guides knowledgeable and provided history of various places we stopped. Bar prices were reasonable and the decor was really lovely.

Wonderful week on the Manifique 3 – Best of Holland tour. Lots of fun and easy cycling.

My wife and I were very satisfied with our experience on The Magnifique III. Our expectations were exceeded in every regard. The staff were wonderful, meals excellent and the accommodations first rate. We traveled from Amsterdam to Bruges 10/13-20 and were lucky enough to have very good weather for mid October. Each day we were given the option of taking a “long ride” or a “short ride”. This worked out well for everyone on the trip. There were plenty of breaks for coffee, lunch and picture taking. Each evening, after dinner, there was a planned event like a walk in the village or city we happened to be docked in. One evening there was a beer tasting on board. We met wonderful people on the and it was nice to be the only Americans on the trip. Our tour guides Corrie, Hans and Peter were excellent. They were all concerned that everyone was safe and enjoying themselves. They provided information on points of interest as we rode along giving us insight into what we were seeing. Great experience all around!

It was a great trip. Well organised and with amazingly friendly and helpful staff

A wonderful trip! Great ship with excellent meals and accommodations – you must consider Boat Bike Tours for your holiday.

Great experience….over the top. Accommodations, service ,and food excellent.

The boat bike tour exceeded our expectations. The staff were extremely professional and yet friendly and very accommodating. Our cabin was small and surprisingly comfortable.The temperature of the cabin was individually controlled. The common areas were very nice. The meals were outstanding. We always felt very safe and secure with the sailing of the boat even in busy and tight waterways. The bikes were foreign to us yet worked well. Our cycling guides Hester and Nell were extremely professional yet personable. They made an effort to get to know everyone and supported and encouraged us. They also made it a lot of fun. An unexpected surprise was Hester’s oboe concert which was beautiful. We had difficulties with the pace of the cycling as our group of 40 were very fast and we were not. However Hester and Nell always made sure we arrived safely at our destinations.

We had an outstanding boat and bike trip! The crew, the chef and the tour guides were excellent! We did the Brussels to Bruges tour and we enjoyed international travelers on on boat. It was wonderful vacation and we’ll try another destination next year.

This is our 7th trip with this company. We have always enjoyed the biking and having our boat waiting for us. The biking exposes you to all manner of wonderful countryside and smaller villages. Then the boat is in sight and you know it will be clean, the sailors will help stow the bike, the fragrance from the kitchen will make you smile, and you know your biking companions will join you in sharing the stories of the day. The simple fact that you only unpack once for the week is great but to see the other people for a week you will have great conversations with all the nationalities on board. Great concept, well executed, fine rooms on a great boat with wonderful people and staff.
