Thank you to a wonderful staff.

The guide was great. The staff was great. The food was great. The boat stunk of diesel fuel, but fortunately we were off and about seeing the beauty of the Netherlands.

Great tour. We were very spoilt with food and great housekeeping.

This was our second experience with Boat Bike Tours. A trip on the Fluvius from Bruges to Amsterdam made us eager to sail with this company again. We were expecting a nice trip on the Leafde fan Fryslan, sailing and biking along the coast of the Ijsselmeer. What we experienced was an amazing week with a wonderful crew, a beautiful ship and friendly guests. The beautiful online photos accurately depict this ship. The captain, Floris, was attentive to all our needs, as was the entire crew, Annie, Yorick, Ruben, and guide Paulette. The weather was unusually hot for the Netherlands, necessitating changes in the biking and sailing routes. Floris used his ingenuity and expertise to assure that we were all comfortable and well cared for. The guests’ standing ovation for the crew at our last meal says it all! This was among the best vacations we have ever had.

The bike tours team both in terms of office and on board ship were excellent

Best vacation ever!!!

Everything about our Boat Bike tour was wonderful – except the heat which is beyond anyone’s control! Steph and Evert have done an exceptional job covering every detail and still making everyone feel they are part of a big family. The rooms were a decent size and the staff was top notch. We are really missing the water and coffee machines! The food was delicious and the chef, Camillo, was perfect in his abilities and his humility. I am so glad I recorded some of his presentations. Our guides were very knowledgeable and aware of everyone’s abilities while being comfortable and easy to talk to. We highly recommend the Fleur!

Great biking holiday. Only moderately strenuous. Boat crew and guides were excellent. Barge was clean and comfortable. Food was great. Only issue was initially locating the boat. Might need to work on that aspect.

It is a “Barge/Bike tour and that is what you get. The rooms were fair and the bike equipment was first class. The meals were excellent and very well prepared. The bar prices were also fair. What made the trip for us was the staff. They were of course polite and supportive but treated us more like a part of their team. We enjoyed them very much and I believe they enjoyed us.

The bik guide do not speak English!! Impossible to understand the explanation and the rute. The time to return to the boat was too short, no time to stop for rest and see the Biutiful towns or landscapes. A pity
