From the time you step on board you feel at home. Friendly, professional staff help to create a relaxed sailing and cycling experience. My wife and I have now enjoyed two trips with Boat Bike Tours and are looking forward to the next time.
Thanks for your review. Just feel free to contact us for more information about a next trip. We would like to inform you about our programm.

This was the perfect way to see The Netherlands at a leisurely pace while still feeling like I was on holiday. I was a single female traveler in my late twenties and felt right at home in our varied group. We had families, couples, and groups of friends ranging from 3-83. Those who needed more assistance were strapped on the back of another bike (the children) or rode and ebike (the well seasoned travelers). The boat fit everyone beautifully and it’s cozy ambiance felt like home. The guided tour was fantastic and everyone involved was very flexible! I was on the first tour of the season and the weather was about uncooperative as it could be. We had to make daily changes of plans…but we never would had know it if we hadn’t been given a detailed itinerary at the beginning of the trip. The rearranged schedule ran as smoothly as if it was planned in the first place. We were all well taken care of and enjoyed delicious meals and excellent service. Well worth the price and I would recommend this tour to anyone!
You saw the Netherlands with stormy weathers. Happily you still had a good time. Thanks for your review and we would like to welcome you again.

We came prepared to have another lovely time and, up to a point, we did. This time the food was less appetising and sometimes cold when it should have been hot (soup) Our guide, Tom, was brilliant again but the housekeeping staff were much less welcoming and helpful. Also, if you want us to use our towels twice (which seems eminently sensible to us) make them different colours and give us somewhere to hang them up to dry..and a hand towel would be a useful addition!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. We sent your suggestions about the towels forward to the staff.

You are asking for this review too soon. We have not yet gone on the tour and do not have an opinion at this point. Unless you are asking for a review of the booking process? In which case this should be made clear.
Sorry for the confusion. We just started with the reviewsite Trustpilot. To collect reviews, we sent an invitation to all our guests who sailed with us in 2014. You were our guest on the Southern tour in August 2014 and that’s why you’ve received a message. Maybe you would like to write a review about this trip? If don’t want to, also good. It’s up to you. From now on, we’ll send an invitation 3 days after your trip. We wish you a good time on the Danubetrip on board the MS Normandie!

We had a great time cycling from Mantova to Venice. This trip was well worth the price. High points are the location, friendly accommodations, excellent food and great hospitality. Cycling was fairly easy, but not unexpected considering the location along a river. We will consider another trip with Boat Bike Tours in the future.
Many thanks for writing this review. Just feel free to contact us for more information about a next trip. We would like to inform you about our programm.

Our trip from Mantova to Venice on the Ave Maria was fabulous. We met many great people on our adventure. The food was outstanding and our tour guide made the difference from making this from a good holiday to a great holiday. The crew were very friendly and informative. We have recommended this vacation tour to our other friends.
Thanks for your compliments!

We had a wonderful time. Our two children, ages 9 years and 11 years loved the sites while cycling, especially the stops to swim or visit a museum. The staff on the boat were fantastic. One staff member even took the time to teach the children how to fish! The boat was clean and quiet and the food delicious.
Thank you for your review. Nice to hear that your kids had also a good time!

We sailed aboard the “Magnifique” in 2013 (the Amsterdam-region tour) and 2014 (Flanders & Netherlands tour). On each trip, we were treated royally by Captain Walter and his crew; we enjoyed the beautiful and interesting daily bike tours (led by Laia in 2013 and Tom in 2014); and delighted in being part of a small, friendly group of fellow travelers for several days. We have been recommending BoatBike tours to friends and family alike since our 2013 trip — and hope to return for another trip someday soon.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us ánd with your friends and family. Maybe the next trip on board the Magnifique II? This ship will be launched in 2016.

From consideration of journey, to booking to paying – all was good as far as planning, organising and payment. We don’t “bike ‘n barge” from Brugge to Amsterdam until May 2015 so our comments on the actual experience will follow. So far, so good!
Thanks for sharing your experience. We hope your next trip will be also a great vacation. We wish you a good time from Belgium to the Netherlands and we're looking forward to your next review.
