Wonderful crew and great accommodations and food. Highly recommend this trip.

Caring and enthusiastic staff. Beautiful scenery. Comfortable and cozy boat. Amazing and historical bike routes.

Well done- good guide, great sites and bikes that had us upright. Excellent food and friendly staff!

Overall very good, but there’s room for improvement. I normally ride several thousand miles a year but I’m afraid I did not like the bikes provided. I would have preferred lighter European bikes rather than the Dutch bikes.

Very pleasant helpful crew, food was also very good and plenty.We had excellent weather, which made the biking so enjoyable . We would do this kind of biking holiday again and highly recommend it to friends and family

My Best of Holland Trip was great. Well organized, good food, and excellent tour leaders (Hans and Hester) that led the rides. I will definitely consider another Boat Bike Tour

Awesome experience! Every aspect of our boat bike tour was first rate. We would definitely do it again.

I booked this tour hoping for vacation with my 2 daughters 19 and 21 that would combine exercise, good food and quality time together visiting the Dutch countryside where I wouldn’t have to do too much planning. All of these expectations were met! Most of the people on the trip were my age and older (mid-fifities and up), but it didn’t matter at all to my daughters. The boat, Magnifique II, is very nice and the staff more than excellent with a real mind for customer service. The cook, Phyllis was extremely jolly (she reminded me a bit of Julia Child :-) and the food was delicious, healthy and varied. The only thing not in our favor was the weather, but even that didn’t keep us from having an amazing time. I would certainly recommend this trip!

Mein Mann und ich haben im Sommer 2019 die Tour durch Nord Holland auf dem Schiff De Holland gemacht und waren sehr zufrieden. Reiseleitung (Peter) und Hotelmanager (Roman) waren freundlich und standen jederzeit für Fragen zur Verfügung. Die Kabinen auf dem Schiff waren zwar eng, aber es gab genügend Stauraum und alles war picobello sauber. Das Frühstücksbüffet war reichhaltig mit verschiedenen Sorten Brot und Brötchen, Frühstücksflocken, Obst und Gemüserohkost, Rührei und Würstchen, Saft, Kaffee, Tee und verschiedenen Brotaufstrichen. Zum Abendessen gab es ein vier Gänge Menü mit jeweils einem Fleisch- oder Fischgericht als Hauptgang zur Auswahl. Hier hätten wir uns an manchen Tagen nach 50 km auf dem Rad eine größere Portion gewünscht. Schön wären auch regionale Gerichte gewesen oder wenigstens Fisch aus der Nordsee anstatt Zuchtfische von der Südhalbkugel. Aber das waren nur Kleinigkeiten und es war insgesamt eine schöne Reise.

Several years ago we had been on this trip and loved it. This time we brought our family (son, daughter-in-law and four grandsons) and they all loved it also! The ship has been refurbished with fewer cabins so they are larger and there are fewer passengers. The rooms were air conditioned, had plenty of storage, plenty of outlets, and were pretty sound proof. The bathrooms were really nice. The dining room was roomy. The food was excellent ever night and this time we picked our menu. The tour guide, Peter, was the best we have encountered. We had a few mechanicals issues and he promptly addressed them with concern. The boat manager, Roman, was extremely upbeat, funny, and talented. We all enjoyed his antics. The staff was excellent. All the bike trips were explained and were through lovely parts of the country – tons of pastures, fields, farm animals and birds. The villages were quite charming. We are glad we returned and had even a better time!
