Tara and Sjerd were excellent tour guides. They adjusted the rides to accommodate the weather and made special arrangements with operators (ex wine tasting) for our group. They were cognizant of the wide range of cyclists experiences and were able to accommodate everyones needs. The cook was outstanding, albeit and bit too much food! The quality and presentation of meals was excellent. The bartender was very engaged with cyclist too.

Wonderful way to experience Europe! We just returned from an 11-day boat bike tour between Brugges, Belgium and Amsterdam, NL. aboard The Fleur. It was absolutely top notch! This cycling vacation offered guided cycling through the lovely countryside and into numerous historical sites in Belgium and The Netherlands. Our expert guides offered insights into the political, demographic, cultural, and industrial history along the way. The daily cycling program was well-organized, and informative, the gourmet meals were always fresh and on time, the accommodations were clean and private, and staff were exceptionally competent, friendly, and helpful. The cycling guides were extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot and made new friends. We would highly recommend this tour to those who want to experience history and culture in an active holiday. Great staff! Great holiday!

Bicycle in Istria, Croatia. Good guides, especially Kristoffer, very helpful and well-informed. The food onboard was OK but not excellent.

The ship is great, the food is good, one guide was good the other was not. The trip was overall worth doing – perhaps just not the last rip of the season when the wheels fell off a little bit e.g.tension between the guides, using up last bits of food e.g. no deliveries of good bread for the last 2 days, confusion about communication between the guides and the new captain.

Outstanding Captain and staff. Exceptional experience. 5 star restaurant. Great bar at reasonable prices. Very comfortable rooms with ensuite, cleaned daily to high standard. Fantastic guides on wonderful choice of bike routes. E-bikes made it easy. Far exceeded expectations and terrific value for money.

Very well operated barge & tour. Great guides for biking and excellent meals on board Magnifique IV. Crew worked very well together and often multi-tasked. We were impressed with spaciousness of suite as compared to river and sea cruises. Great value!!

Good boat – having an internal informal area with bar was important. Great crew who were interested in you and did their best to make the trip good for everyone.

From the warm greetings we received when we first came on board to the final hour of our trip, the crew on Magnicient IV were great. The accommodations, service, cleanliness, food and beverages were exceptional. I suggest that the woman bike guide needs additional training, she is not a good communicator. Her English is not up to the standard with the other members of the team. Very friendly and kind, but her knowledge is lacking.

This was our second bike /barge trip. And once again it was wonderful. But it was very different from our journey 4 years ago. The group was smaller and because of its size everyone socialized with each other. We all used the guided tour this time and the two guides, Hester and Nina, traded off every other day so we bonded with both of them. The familiarity was quite nice. Our captain Michael was amazing and the teamwork with all of the seven crew members was a team builder’s dream. They worked seamlessly together. Michael the captain even helped out drying dishes as Albert , his ship hand was often in the kitchen helping Michael , our incredible cook. I absolutely enjoyed our Amsterdam to Bruges journey.

Boat and staff were great. Bike guides were very helpful and knowledgeable. Evening discussion for the next day’s ride was very informative.
