This is a great trip for people who are in at least moderate shape. The boat is wonderful and the staff was super friendly. The food was exceptional. The cycling was moderate but at fairly high speed and not geared to slower cyclists, would definitely recommend reserving an e-bike for slower folks. The guide was not always able to keep people together especially in tricky city situations. Maps were easy to follow in the country but not in the cities. we saw a lot of beautiful countryside and sights. There was also time to relax. Fellow trip members were great!

The Northern Tour was an awesome barge/bike experience for my wife and I. The stateroom was adequate- some might say “Too small!”. Supplies for breakfast and lunch were great and the sit-down supper was exceptional. The lounge and dining area were very functional, attractive and clean. The kitchen staff was efficient, the crew was very helpful, especially with the bikes, and the tour leader was a gem as she guided the bike tours and evening walks in a friendly and professional manner. We felt that free coffee and tea should be available at all times and if flags were used to indicate nations represented by those on board that care should be taken to indicate all nationalities present.

Our tour was very well organized, the food was plentiful, the beds comfortable, and the staff were fantastic. We had a most enjoyable holiday seeing the real Holland. Canals, green fields, windmills, fresh air, and friendly people.

This company delivers what they advertize. We were on the Southern Holland trip last week and thoroughly enjoyed the boating and biking. Great job!

I highly recommend this tour. Well oranised, heaps of healthy fresh food, daily route plan briefing with maps. We were able to rude at our own pace, stop as often as we wanted to explore, or choose a guided tour. Evenings were fun with fellow travellers, with some evening tours of the towns where we stayed. We had a great time, thanks

The Magnifique 11 is a lovely new boat, comfortable and tastefully done. We had a great trip around the tulip fields and were looked after very well by the excellent staff. This was our second trip with Boat Bike Tours and we would highly recommend this holiday.

Stunning trip! First sightseeing bike trip I’ve ever taken. Very organized, happy staff, nice boat, great bike, food delightful and delicious. The best way to see Holland, I think, given that the bicycle is so widely used there. Inspiring! All ages on this trip, skewed toward middle aged and older. The pace was leisurely but not slow. I would book another cycle tour with them without hesitation.

Such an amazing tripI I would recommend this excursion to anyone and everyone. The boat and the bikes were just excellent. The cook, Raymond, did an amazing job with each meal. We had delicious and plenteous offerings of food of all types of. The rooms in the boat were clean, stylish and functional. And the staff, they were personable and knowledgeable. Thanks for making our vacation so special!

My adult daughter and I booked a last minute Boat Bike Trip in Amsterdam on a whim. She lives in New York and I live in Chicago so this was a wonderful bonding experience. We did the 5 day City Tour and loved every second, even the rain and the wind, but mostly the friends we made from Great Britain! The 5 of us rode together and laughed & joked like kids. Most of the areas we rode through were lovely, quaint Dutch villages, seaside villages and some larger cities. Everyone on the trip was friendly( we’re all bikers!) The staff was way above Par and the rooms were cozy, clean & wonderfully updated. Our Chef Raymond, was excellent and even made chocolate cake for a snack on request. (Because when he asked one of the Brits “How do you like your eggs prepared!” He was told “In a Cake!”). Thank Goodness, We have many wonderful photos to help us remember this fabulous adventure!

We hands down loved it! The biking was doable and not too strenuous. Great for all levels. It takes you through breathtaking scenery and quaint villages. The boat was beautiful. The accommodations are comfortable and lovely. The crew was amazing. They loved their job and made the whole experience very special. Our only recommendation, boost the wifi.
