Excellent holiday. The lovely staff on both the boat and tour guides, along with the super meals on board the boat, coupled with well planned routes, made this a holiday to remember. Would highly recommend this tour

I loved my Boat/Bike! I did the Southern Loop from Amsterdam followed by the Northern Loop. Many times we had a choice between a long route and a shorter route. I always did the long route as I wanted to make the most of my trip. Getting back to the Poseidon and having coffee and a sweet treat in mid afternoon was alway a great reward for a successful bike day. The tour leaders were great as was the crew of the Poseidon.

Just completed the North Holland Tour on De Willemstad. Suite cabin was spacious and well maintained. All the crew onboard were friendly, obliging and helpful. Peter and Pete our guides did an excellent job in challenging circumstances, having to change tour itineraries at the last minute due to circumstances beyond their control. The food was acceptable, not gourmet dining but perfectly adequate for mass catering. We would have preferred a later dining time than 6pm as the days are full on if you take the longer routes. I switched to an e bike after day 2 as I found it challenging cycling in the strong winds, however my husband who is a keen cyclist had no such problem! All in all a very good experience.

Fun trip- the guides did a very nice job! One thing- for last min changes- best to have that recorded exactly in GPS and on map. Also, hard to download GPS app on boat- that could be improved. Food was disappointing. Could have had more variety (not just eggs) for breakfast and also maybe more fresh salad- veggies for dinner. The boat messed up our reservation and gave us a room different than what we booked (beds together rather then separated, and part of room cut off due to location). We had to pay cash 100 euros to upgrade to suite. We were charged incorrectly for two cabins rather than one. I only found that out talking to another passenger. Once the issue to brought to your attention it was corrected quickly. Thx! Generally the trip was good and I would recommend and go on another trip.

Enjoyed every minute of it. The boat was very nice and the whole crew very friendly and obliging. The tour leaders were very efficient and when the tour had to be changed from the itinerary due to circumstances beyond their control they quickly found a suitable work around and communicated it very clearly.

Really well organised tour. Bikes great, boat great, staff/crew great but food only okay. (Hence only 4stars)

Fantastic bike Holliday , good food, nice people onboard , and easy to keep on track.

This was an excellent week’s touring from the warm reception at the beginning to the handshakes and even hugs on departure. The cabins were much better than our previous experience. They are still small but we spent very little time in them. They were thoroughly cleaned and ordered each day. The ship cruising and cycling itinerary were really interesting, scenic, variable and of course the cycling was on such excellent Dutch cycleways.Food and service on board was first class from the breakfast spread to the evening multi course dinner. Beers were reasonable, the house wine OK. THE 2 tour leaders were very helpful and spoke excellent English as did most of the fellow Dutch and German cyclists. The dining room and lounge and deck areas were very spacious, but we were only half full. The dining room would be tighter when full..The bikes were excellent(my wife went the e way and I had just pedal power) and comfortable, and their offloading each day was very efficient. Many bulb fields were still in glorious colour. The cycling took us on dykes, next to canals, lakes, farms, pretty villages, to fascinating museums and historic towns. If we were not so busy this Summer we would be doing it all again.

Another tour with a great pleasure, the guide was excellent and I’ve enjoyed the whole tour and the services on the boat, The crew was pleasant and available. The food also was very good even if it was a bit difficult to make them realise my diet problem the first days.

Afwisselende tocht ( NW Nederland) met door het goede weer een extra positieve inslag. Internationaal gezelschap wat duidelijk niet gewend is aan fietstochten. Bemanning prima en service gericht. Eet tijden en duur mogen wat flexibeler. Onverklaarbaar veel muggen in de kamers. Dat benedendeks de ramen tijdens het varen zijn gesloten is begrijpelijk maar ‘s nachts ligt de boot stil en zou een open raam heel prettig zijn. Nu staat constant de afzuiging/ airco hinderlijk aan. Algemeen: leuke ervaring die zeker voor herhaling vatbaar is.
