Bruges to Amsterdam. Great trip. We biked independently and the app allowed us to do so with minimal stress. Magnifique III is a wonderful vessel with a great crew. Food is o.k., but biking was excellent. Already planning the next one.

Superb experience

We had an awesome time. Gerard, the chef’s, cuisine was better than any other river cruise we’ve taken, and there have been some expensive ones! We got a little tired of the sandwich variety for lunch. Perhaps different bread or panini? Guides were great. I loved the bike app. We took off on our own and never got lost. I swear by it! Will definitely be doing another trip like this again.

A great way to see The Netherlands and Belgium. The guides were excellent. Peter’s impromptu tours along the ride were great and informative. Hester’s oboe concert was an unexpected bonus. the food was excellent as well. Sleeping on the boat was great. Would highly recommend the tour to all who seek a little bit of adventure.

Small boat with crew of 7 and only 34 guests which made for an intimate group that got to know each other which was very pleasant. The Magnifique II was well appointed and the staff professional and friendly. Bike groups were well organized and all needs met.

My wife and I had a wonderful holiday on your Magnifique III… especially bike guides Wilfred, Corrie, Frank and the rest of the behind the scenes crew! Well done! Graham & Amber

This trip far exceeded our expectations and is a tremendous value. The staff was so welcoming and attentive. They worked very hard to make this an outstanding vacation for everyone. We were always well prepared for the day ahead thanks to the evening briefings. A particular shout out to our biking guides Corry, Wilfred and Frank. They always had our safety and comfort in mind and were great sources of information about culture and history. Many nights they took us on a history and culture walk after dinner. The biking was in general easier than expected although getting used to the e-bike was a bit challenging. The food was delicious thanks to Chef Michael. The cabins very comfortable. I was in lower level cabin which was spacious (for a barge) and well appointed. We really had a great week.

We had a fabulous time on the boat and bike tour through Holland and Belgium. The boat was immaculate, the crew was fabulous, the food was incredible and the rides were amazing. Looking to book another trip!

Amsterdam to Bruges June 2022 After booking and waiting 1115 days (due to Covid) for the trip, the boat ‘Magnifique 111’ says it all !! The Captain Gert Jan and crew Ingeborg, Elxe-Mieke and Albert were awesome. The tour leaders Peter, Corrie and Wilfred were 1st class, knowledgeable, fun and well organized. Felt safe on all of the rides. Stops for pee breaks, pictures, lunch and drinks were all about right. It was a ‘Premium’ tour and Chef Dick’s food definitely was, breakfast, lunch and supper! . Booking another tour for 2023. We felt taken care of. A trip of a life time. Ron & Donna

A great trip. Wonderful food, guides, and beautiful cycling! I highly recommend.
