This was a nice and pleasant trip with well chosen bike routes. Cabins were clean and staff was very friendly. Food was good, but the vegetarian option had hardly any protein, only vegetables. Only minor point was that there was a case of covid on board and the passengers were not informed on time, which could have caused problems for those who needed to travel by plane or to a location were isolation was possible.

We had a wonderful time, the food was delicious, and route was beautiful. Too bad Corona couldn’t stay away and we disembarked with a positive test. Quite a few people were infected. There was only a hand sanitizer station, and was sparsely used. Our next stop was visiting family before going back home. Instead we had to stay in quarantine before going back to Canada. The main focus of the trip was visiting family. We think that there could be better precautions and ask people to test when feeling ill.

This is my second Boat Bike Tour and I would book again. I loved the daily bike riding through the countryside and small towns of Holland. We met interesting, like minded people on board and the staff were phenomenal – fun, kind, caring, competent folks who really worked hard to make the week a success. Wilmie, our guide was amazing. Food was good and plentiful. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the beds are a bit hard and the pillows need to be improved.

Exploring the Netherlands by bike is a wonderful way to visit this country. What a joy it was to meet our boat at the end of a day of cycling. After a delicious dinner, drinks and socialization, we were always offered the option of a guided tour around the community where we were moored. The tour was very well organized. Our boat was clean, and accommodated a group of 19 perfectly. The crew was cheerful, friendly and always ready to help out. Our guide was very knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and went out of her way to share this information with us. Her love of her country was infectious. My only suggestion for improvement is that more attention needs to be paid to upfront bicycle maintenance. Regardless, I am already looking at Boat Bike’s future tour offerings.

We had a exceptional experience. The crew was amazing. The meals delightful. The tour leader experienced and charming. The quality of the experience cycling through the countryside and small villages – the bird song, animals, landscapes and scents – pleasantly surprised this non-cycler.

A great adventure with an opportunity to discover a less touristic part of the Netherlands. I’m all for e-bikes now and not regular bikes as it makes life so much more pleasant ! A nice international atmosphere onboard too with a first-rate multilingual guide and other friendly members of the crew. The only problem was that most participants were German for this boat and bike trip and my German was far too rusty !

This was my 9th bike/barge trip with Boat Bike Tours and Eurosail. Everyone has been perfect! The Chef’s have been top notch; tour leaders very knowledgeable and accommodating; Captains are amazing in how he/she squeeze the barge through tight canals, barges very clean, Covig awareness a high priority. This last trip I did not bicycle but stayed on board the whole week and watched the world go by from the comfort of the deck. Can’t wait to go again. M. Maraggio, Cape Cod, USA

Vandaag teruggekomen van een tour Amsterdam-Maastricht. Alles was TOP! Heel lekker gefietst, ondanks het niet al te beste weer. Heerlijk gegeten. Fijne douche aan boord.

Enjoyed the barge it was well equipped & loved Lars’s meals we looked forward to them every night. The tour was interesting & lovely & green

Great trip. The food was tasty, the bikes sturdy, the guide interesting and the ship clean. It was all I’d hoped for.
