5-day Tulip Tour Premium
3 May 2022

I would say it’s a once in a lifetime trip, but we are already planning another one! The 5 day Tulip Tour on Magnifique IV was an amazing experience from start to (far too soon) finish. The ship is gorgeous, the food is exceptional, but the crew were even beyond that! We learned that this was the first time this combined crew worked together and it was magical! If you wanted something that was in their power to give, you got it! What also amazed us was how everyone did what needed to be done, regardless of their title. Sailing crew helped with meal prep, tour guides helped behind the bar, and we even saw the captain drying dishes! The cycling was thoroughly enjoyable, and it was easy to see that some people who were not as experienced cyclists quickly adapted to the cycling culture that is The Netherlands. If you have ever considered doing this (or any) tour with this company…DO IT!

Guides were great! Food was very good. Cabins were better than expected. Country side was so amazing beautiful. It was so fun to explore it on a bike. We would do it again without hesitation.

The crew, the food, the facilities, and the ship were excellent. The on-board service was outstanding and the bike ride captains, Arnold and Peter, were great. The room was clean and comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Boat Bike Tours again.

I just came back from a 5-day Tulip Tour on the Magnificent 2. The barge is adorable and the staff (Captain, Sailor, 2 hostess and 2 tour guides) were all top notch! The crew worked together like a well oiled machine and made sure all the guests had a great time. The bike tours were great and we saw plenty of flowers (specially tulips) with a lot of exercise. We got back to the barge every afternoon with time to explore the village before or after dinner…My only advice…Rent an e-bike…the wind can be really strong!

My husband and I just completed the 5 day Tulip Tour. It was fabulous in every way. The ship is beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. Every staff member went out of their way to be sure all passengers were happy and well taken care of. The food was outstanding! Michael surprised us every day when we returned from riding with a special culinary delight. I highly recommend this company and trip!

Everything was wonderful! Bikes were great, comfortable, easy to use. Guides were excellent, food was absolutely phenomenal! How they could turn out meals for 40+ in those areas was a miracle! Food so fresh as was picked up at each stop…exceeded my expectations! Did two trips back to back Holland & Italy..each one was just as good as the other. Only issues I had was when riding there wasn’t enough time to stop and take pictures..really need a go-pro to film as you ride to get all the scenery! Other issue was a cabin with 3 beds for adults makes for very tight quarters! Might want to suggest 2 cabins instead of cramming 3 adults into those rooms, not all adults can climb into bunk beds! Otherwise would not hesitate to recommend these trips to anyone!

Very nice boat – clean and comfortable. The cycling time table is really full. Start from 0900 until 1600 – stop a few times for viewing, lunch etc… Delicious food, helpful & smiley staff, professional & experienced cycling guides. We are very happy and enjoy the 5 days Tulip Trip. The cost is really worth.

I had a wonderful time! I expected the tulips to be the highlight of my 5-day Tulip Tour on the Magnifique III, and yes, they were gorgeous, but I was continually surprised by all the other marvelous things I hadn’t expected. My suite was beyond my expectations, with a sliding glass door and an oh-so-comfortable mattress. The guides (Arie and Andre) were warm and fun, interested and interesting. The upright-style bicycle was perfect for our relaxed cruising pace. The before-dinner tour through the hidden back courtyards of Haarlem was amazing – bringing us past secret gems I would have never found on my own. When we rode through urban/suburban areas, the guides strung together a series of parks, like beads on a necklace. Being on the boat going under drawbridges (and low bridges!) was fascinating. The whole trip was stimulating and refreshing. I loved it.
