Although the trip was interesting, the attitude and behavior of the chief leader of the trip was poor. He is one of those people who is more concerned with getting to a destination than in actually enjoying and appreciating the country one is riding through, so that often there is implicit pressure to ride faster even though there is no particular hurry, It seemed odd to us that the short and long rides were not very different in pace. Another real deficiency was the effort to enable the participants to appreciate the towns. In one instance, this was exemplified by the leader saying “here’s a map – do what you like and we’ll continue in two hours.” The deputy leader was different in attitude and seemed to make a real effort to have the participants involved with the trip. On the last day, when we wanted to ride the bikes without the leaders, there was strenuous effort to dissuade us from doing so. This seemed absurd. The notes clearly stated that participants could ride solo if they wanted to. On the positive side, the meals were very good. Would I recommend the trip? Yes, but not with this sort of leader.

We took the Magnifique from Brugge to Amsterdam and had a fantastic time. Our tour guides, Fred and Corrie, were amazing, the accommodations were comfortable and the cycling was fabulous. We’d go again in a heartbeat!

We enjoyed our time cycling in the Netherlands . The Barge was great , rooms and bathrooms very efficient .clean . Our Chief was fantastic .( better than experienced on much costlier trips ) Staff friendly . Only downside was that we did not have the regular cycling guides for our week . One of our groups often lost our way .

Exceeded my expectations with food quality, bikes, accommodation, preamble each night, historical walks and service.

Food was excellent, staff was very professional, tours were fun and informative, not difficult cycling even for us 50 somethings. Fred & Corrie were great cycling guides. No problem at all with us having only the English language.

The bike rides were very well organized, our accommodations were great, the food was excellent, and each member of the crew went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Even our fellow bikers were terrific – we made some new friends. Our only regret was that we didn’t spent a bit more time on bikes ahead of time to prepare – noted for next time!

Estava tudo ótimo.

The crew were fantastic. Meals great. Trip notes and instructions need to be improved. Double top cabins comfortable and clean.
