Our trip with Boat Bike Tours was nothing short of wonderful! Everything about the experience was top notch, from our great, knowledgeable guides, Ari and Andre, to the delicious meals prepared by Michel, to the rest of the excellent, efficient staff. All was friendliness and delight. While being casual and comfortable, the dining was elegant and special. Our suite had everything we needed and was well appointed. The bikes were great:smoothly changing gears, well-maintained. My husband’s e-bike made him want to go right home and buy one. The Netherlands is really a wonderland for those who prefer to travel by bicycle, and the chance to see the beautiful, flowered countryside was a real treat.

We loved the small group atmosphere. The crew were very attentive and gracious. Boat was the Magnifique III – true to its namesake.

Our boat sail tulip experience was awesome. The crew, food, and trip leadership were great and the scenery can’t be beat.. While Holland is flat, the wind can make the riding challenging. I would suggest that anyone who is not a strong rider rent an E-Bike. changing from a regular bike to an e-bike made all the difference for my wife on the trip.

This was an economic and fun way to do a Danube river cruise. It was great to be able to take the bicycles out everyday or walk around the small towns and big cities. The boat had issues: leaky ceilings, electricity went out a few times. It was not luxurious accommodation, very small rooms and bathrooms. The cruise director was very knowledgeable and gave excellent briefings on the bike paths everyday. I liked that we were independent throughout the day, could do our own schedule to get from place to place. The food was better than expected, especially the dinners-4-5 course meals that were prepared in classical style. I would use this company again, just for the cost savings.

Good holiday, excellent staff.

Great crew and boat. Wonderful guide Xavi and above and beyond service.

I got nice and good-hearted tour guides John and Monika. Skipper Hans gave me the chance to experienced the lock. Gandalf boat crew member include the dog Yala are all nice. Various foods are quite tasty. Cycling level is easy even for beginners. I was the only solo guest, but other 16 tour mates are very nice to me, so I feel like as in a big family in a boat. Strongly recommend to join this tour!!!!

The cycling and tour guides were great. The boat was disappointing as there was a change from the original boat and there ended up being very little cruising. It was like staying in a floating hotel which also meant several bus trips to get back to the boat from cycling.

We enjoyed everything! The size of the boat and # of guests allowed us to meet everyone and we got to know each other over the week we were together. Tamara (Tammy), our cycling guide is amazing and Rob (2nd cycling guide) has a wealth of historical information on the areas we cycled. The food was delicious and we all looked forward to the menu description by Camillo, our chef. The staff on board, Evert, Petra, Adwin, did everything to make our trip enjoyable and memorable. We have all made new friends!
