The staff were exceptional. Nothing was too difficult. They had an excellent camaraderie between them as well as with the guests. Food was wonderful. Always fresh and very tasty. State rooms were kept tidy. Cycling through Holland and Belgium was a treat. Drivers were very considerate. It was a pleasure cycling each day.

The new route was very attractive for us, and the country roads and islands almost perfect. We were a little disappointed with some sections of the cycling route as we encountered several heavy trucks and buses where the road was narrow, as well as some busy traffic for longer stretches. On board the sailing ship was fine, but we felt that although the food was good it did not meet not our previous Boat and Bike experience. The guides were very good, and the crew of the sailing ship very accomodating and helpful. We would not do this particular trip a second time.

Well organized and delicious food.

Been on 5 tours – 2 in Holland , Italy , France and Denmark/ Sweden All fully guided . First class guides, boats and bikes . Does what it says on the tin. If you are British you know what that’s means . Nice mix of nationalities .

This was our third bike and boat trip and we feel it was not as prepared and organized as past trips. The boat was obviously an older one and needed maintenance. The tour guides were not as knowledgeable. The crew on the boat were very hospitable and did a great job handling multiple obstacles.

We had a little mishap with Mother Nature but the captain and crew made the experience of flood waters and evacuation of the boat easy. This is my third trip with Boat Bike Tours and I will definitely use them again. They are a great company!!

I enjoyed the staff, there was definitely not enough to help with the ship and they did not know the ship well. There was no medical assistance when I got injured, more training for possible injuries should be happening. Also I had to bike out injured and should not of have to do that.

It was an incredible tour, The food was amazing. Ann Marie was an incredible cook and you could tell she loved what she did. The captain had a great sense of humor and navigated us throughout Holland seamlessly. Thomas was everywhere taking care of all the fine details with the captain, helping Ann Marie during breakfast and dinner and making sure all our bikes fit us well and were running properly. Last but certainly not least Ingrid did an amazing job of shepherding us each day across the countryside, stopping just the right amount of times and provided us with the rich history of each region. On the one rainy day we encountered, Ingrid and the captain were flexible in changing the plans so that we got to tour a town then still got a ride in at the end of the day. While we were gone each day we would come back to sweet smelling rooms and fresh linen from Sarah. We could not have asked for a better crew or a better time.

All the staff were great, very friendly and helpful. Meal’s fun and enjoyable, rides were very fun. Housekeeping, prompt and thorough. All good.

Amsterdam to Bruges aboard Zwaantje with guides Marcel and Alfons, Captain Bart, Mate Brando, Chef Frank and Host Milton; May 4 -11. We were the only first-time bike tourists on this trip and not really sure what we were in for. Very happy with the trip and the overall experience. Marcel and Alfons were fantastic guides – very knowledgeable and they took great pride in conveying the history around us. They managed bike maintenance and repairs on the go smoothly and efficiently. Chef Frank’s meals were amazing – always an entree, main course and dessert – varied, delicious and plentiful. His pre-meal presentations were entertaining! Our host Milton kept our cabins tidy and refreshed, so welcoming after a day’s ride. Captain Bart and Mate Brando were an excellent team – our travels were always smooth and comfortable. There were a couple of opportunities to make two groups but most people chose to stay in one group. The pace was just right for us – a couple of brief rest/bio breaks on the routes as well as a lunch stop made for comfortable biking. It was a lovely way to really experience the countryside and the amazing bike paths. Accommodations were fine, I think the word is cozy but it was a smaller boat so that’s expected. Very happy with this trip!
