Netherlands: 8-day Tulip Tour
12 May 2022

Bob

the boat was the perfect size only 10 cabins. The captain was excellent. The Chef (Agnes) was amazing. The mate (John), and hostess (Stanislavia)(?) were excellent. All professional, friendly, and welcoming. Bikes were good, we had pedal bikes, but friends with e-bikes were happy as well.. Food was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Guide Francine was simply amazing. She knows the country well and has many stories and much information to share. Rides were good pace.

Great value for your dollars. The variety of biking trails into the countryside and small villages were awesome! The walking tours into the cities/towns in the evening were very informative and highlighted their historical importance as well. The service on the Barge, Fleur was exceptional! The breakfast buffet and evening dinners were outstanding! Plenty of options for packing a lunch each day. I would highly recommend this Bike-Barge Tour.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day tulip tour on the Sarah. The crew was attentive to our every need and the meals from our chef Agnes were Fantastic! Our guide Hetty made each ride easy to follow and each evening walk an informative bonus. This trip on a small barge exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend it to others.

We had a fantastic time aboard the Fleur for the Tulip Tour with Jens and Marleen as our guides. Many of the boat crew were delightful, and the food was excellent. If there were any issues on the ship, the crew were quick to address them. The group of passengers on our boat were all very nice and a quick camaraderie was formed between us all. The bike tour itself was outstanding. We opted for regular bikes, but many on our boat had e-bikes. The Dutch mountains (fierce headwinds) did make an appearance on couple of occasions, but we managed the week without electric assist. I will say there were some older folks (70+) on our boat who also had non-electric bikes and they managed, but wished they had opted for the e-bikes by the end of the week. We traveled in many different sized groups throughout the week and the level of care the guides took to make sure everyone was informed and looked after was above and beyond. There were numerous other boats doing the same tour routes as us, so it was great to get to meet those crews, passengers, and guides as well. Every night our guides offered a walking tour of each city we were docked in, and we even received a history lesson on the reclaimed lands from Marleen, our guide, whose family has lived there for quite some time. This was our first experience traveling like this and we were not let down in any way. I am looking forward to our next adventure with Boat Bike Tours.

Fleur is a boat you want to keep coming back to. It is like coming home. It is the right size to meet people, the owners & staff incredible, the food sooo good, and the bike tours the right balance of beauty and an energetic bike ride. Thank you.

The Premium Tulip Tour far exceeded our expectations. The boatwas very comfortable and well organized. The bikes were top rate, easy to use and adjustable to all riders. The guides were excellent, knowledgeable and made each day fun and relaxing. The daily trips covered many parts of the rural region and lots of small towns. We are active riders and this trip checked off all our boxes and I would highly recommend. It was amazing and we are so grateful to have the chance to complete such an epic ride and adventure!!

The scenery biking in the Netherlands was iconic and beautiful with canals, tulips and windmills. The crew of the Zwaantje was so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful group of guests on the ship and we loved the smaller sized ship for the chance to get acquainted with all on the ship. We would highly recommend but know if the wind is strong the biking upgrades to moderate from easy.

My partner and I had a wonderful trip aboard Sarah and cycling experience through the flower growing areas of the Netherlands in the early spring of 2022. The small group guided experience was great as was the group we were with. The shipboard experience was perfect from the food to the crew’s hospitality. I’d definitely recommend this experience to others.
