We did the Brugge to Brussels trip and would rate it as one of our favorite vacations ever. The staff of the boat was excellent, the food was great and the company was friendly. Although we were one of only 2 American couples, the rest of the passengers did their best to talk with us. We are not “hard core” biking enthusiast, but we are in good shape. Belgium is probably the best place in the world to cycle. First there are no hills (the country is below sea level), and second they have hundreds of miles of bike trails. We were almost never riding on a motorway. Most of the other passengers, including ourselves, were in their 50s and 60s. Our only problem was we would stop for lunch and have a few excellent Belgium beers. The riding afterwards was more difficult.
Thanks for your great review. The landscape of the Netherlands is similar to Belgium, maybe for a next trip? We would like to inform you about all our tours in the Netherlands. (And the Dutch beer is not so heavy as in Belgium).

From the booking experience through to the end of the trip, exceeded expectations. The trip we wanted was fully booked and had no room for us. Their staff helped us find a wonderful alternative which we enjoyed thoroughly. This was our second trip and we will be back for a third trip this summer. We were equipped with enough information to enjoy the sights along the route and could explore at our own pace. The food is wonderful. The cabins are snug but comfortable. Try to pack light and you will be fine. Bikes are suitable for the terrain. Fellow passengers are a treat. Staff is truly interested in you having a good time. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
Many thanks for your positive feedback. We wish you a good time on board of the MS Normandie and during the trip along the Danube.

The holiday was a delight from start to finish. The accommodation, food and the boat were all excellent. All of the staff were extremely friendly, especially the guide. Each day’s cycling was perfectly organised and a full and interesting debrief was given after dinner, the evening before. Two important points: firstly, think about prevailing winds. If the wind is against you in the north part of The Netherlands, cycling becomes very hard work. Secondly, be careful when disembarking boat in town centres in the morning. Cycling commuters and sleepy tourists do not mix well!
Thank you for the generous compliments. And indeed, sometimes its a challenge to cylce with a strong wind :-)

A really nice trip on a well run boat. As a visitor from the UK I was made most welcome by the multilingual crew and guide, and enjoyed the whole trip. Whilst travelling alone on this occasion, I found a good sociable atmosphere among fellow passengers as we rode the cycle paths and after, relaxed on the boat. A good value, low stress way of discovering the pleasures of cycle touring in Germany. Recommended for couples, families, or sole travellers. I hope to book again in the future.
We try to do our best to give all our guests a warm welcome, we succeeded! Thanks for your recommendation and we would like to see you again.

The agents at Boat Bike Tours answered all our questions in a timely manner. Registration was straight forward and easy. We were also given multiple payment options with our confirmations sent back to us very quickly. All in all a good experience.
Many thanks for your positive feedback.

Unfortunately out tour was cancelled due to a problem with the boat before we were due to sail. However , we were transferred to a similar tour with another company and had a great time. Cycling in Holland is fantastic, we will be back on another tour as soon as possible.
Although you started with a disappointment, it's good to hear that you enjoyed our trip. Thanks for your review.

We had a good time , very interesting and different riding in turkey but the guide didn’t really tell us much about the culture or history of the area The disappointing part about the boat was there was no air con , the last my husband and I stayed in a hotel in the harbour The food was good but we did buy our own fruit and cereal for breakfast But I would book another trip with your company Regards Annette Swadling
Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Don't hesitate to contact us for more detailed information about another trip. We would like to inform you as good as we can.

It’s a long way from home in Australia to Europe and it’s therefore important to be able to have the utmost confidence in any tour company you book with. Boat and Bike Tours have proven to be extremely reliable with prompt replies to all emails and booking queries and very clear and definitive instructions as to what we needed to bring when we joined our tour. The Allure which was the barge/ boat we would call home is homely and carries a great crew …. and thankfully for us they all speak some english. We are returning in 2015 for another two trips with Boat and Bike Tours. Dennis and Lisa Australia
We thank you for your generous compliments. We wish you another great tour this year. Welcome back!
