Everything about this trip was excellent. Our tour guides, Andre & Franklin were so knowledgeable and fun while ensuring our safety at all times. Our chef, Andreas, prepared delicious meals each night. Host & hostess, Hielke & Mieke, were always pleasant & attentive and liked to join in the fun with their guests. The bikes and helmets were top notch. The cycling was at a moderate relaxing pace and the trails taken were outstanding. The ship and our cabin were very comfortable. The only minor issue was maintaining a comfortable temperature in the cabin. Would highly recommend this company to anyone considering this type of vacation.

The folks at Boat Bike Tours run the most awesome trip! Everything is top notch. The food is fantastic. The guides are so friendly & knowledgeable! They took care of everything for us. The bikes were good & the routes we took were varied between small towns & beautiful rural countryside & forrest trails. The mix of riding time, touring time & sailing time was well balanced. I can’t say enough good things about our trip except that my husband d & I thoughly enjoyed it, would reccommend it to anyone & will be booking another one for next year!!!

Everything was just wonderful. The rides each day or just the right distance. The weather cooperated with us and we only had one half day of rain. But what I truly appreciate is the staff. They were so friendly, helpful, and wonderful.

Given that just before our tour started the Danube flooded, we managed to still have an amazing time. Our Cruise Director, Leslie and the captain had to make many choices and managed to get us down the river and out on excursions and out on the bikes as much as possible, so we could still experience most of the original itinerary. Leslie is unbelievable–delivering some of the best customer service I’ve seen in a long time. He is so high energy, organized, and knowledgeable–able to accommodate most requests and keep everyone laughing! The food was delicious–lots of variety and the rooms were nice and roomy. It was so much fun. We plan on booking another trip for sure!

I liked that many different countries were represented. The food and service was excellent. The bike tour guides great and Leslie was the perfect Master of ceremonies.

Great bike routes and tour. Food was good and staff was excellent.

Wonderful itinerary and very nice whistles and bells on the Vivienne for the Danube trip. Food and guides were absolutely magnificent. Highly recommend this trip.

Great meals, scenery, comfortable cabin, clear instructions. Entirely enjoyable

We loved our boat & bike tour through Netherlands and Belgium! The entire crew on the Magnifique II was amazing, from the tour guides to the hosts to the sailor to the chef to the captain, everyone made us feel at home on the boat. The bikes were really easy to get used to, and the routes were absolutely beautiful. The guides kept the experience interesting with plenty of stops for water/snacks/information. It was a nice relaxed cruise (we stopped for coffee every day)! The terrain is mostly flat, but it’s very windy in the Netherlands! The weather was very unpredictable, so layers and rain gear was key. Most days we returned from our day between 2pm – 4pm, and dinner was around 6pm – 7pm. There was plenty of time to shower, relax, have a drink, and socialize before dinner. The cabins on the Magnifique II were comfortable. They were small but fine for two people. The beds were great, though more narrow than an American twin sized bed. We didn’t spend any time in our room other than to sleep. The ship was very comfortable with lots of spots to sit outside or inside. We did not feel like were in cramped quarters with the other guests. The food on the Magnifique II was wonderful. There was plenty of breakfast to fuel for the day, snacks that we could take with us, as well as a lunch we pack for ourselves. There was a lovely snack available when we returned from the day, and always coffee and tea all day. The chef introduced every dinner with pride and enthusiasm, and it was clear that he loved crafting creative meals for us. We were sad to leave this tour, and the crew, and we are already planning our next adventure with Boat Bike Tours!

The guides and all of the staff members on The Fleur were outstanding and made our experience with Boat Bike Tours so very memorable. They were courteous, warm, competent, and their work made the tour seamless and totally enjoyable. That said, the best part had to be the food. Steph’s cuisine was amazing.
