Reviews

Had a super time riding the Hanseatic Cities tour which was greatly helped by wonderful weather. Boat comfy, cabins quite spacious and very clean and plenty of lounging space on the top deck. The crew were quite superb, helpful, friendly and the whole experience relaxing. Our chef did a great job too. Patrick , our guide and mentor was full of interesting information about the places visited and set a fair pace when out cycling so that all the cyclists felt included. It helped that all 17 cyclists got on well and we formed into happy and friendly group. Happy to recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to enjoy some excellent but not hugely taxing cycling and getting to know this historic part of the Netherlands in more detail. Already looking at future tours.

The Hansa highlights tour was fantastic. The biking routes were amazing. I was so impressed with the multitude of biking paths, open recreation areas and natural beauty. The crew on De Holland was beyond great. They could not have done a better job. There was an issue with the boat. How it was handled was a great example of a company with class! Things happen, especially with boats, it is how it is handled that makes the difference. The app really helped us stay on the right path and was reLly appreciated. L’ubie (sp), Andre and Norman were outstanding. Thanks for such a great trip. Well worrh waiting 3 years. We are already researching our next trip.

The entire affair went swimmingly. BBT activated a reservation I had made pre-pandemic and even remembered my e-bike request. Got a super guide, too, Tamara (Tamy). Accommodations were on a completely re-modeled, beautiful river cruiser in much better shape than all the other boats moored nearby. Days were expertly organized: bike, snack, bike, lunch, bike, beer at the barge. About 50K a day. Highly recommended, especially in the Netherlands.

This is our 3rd trip with BoatBikeTours. They were great thru the pandemic offering a refund or future trip: our choice! We chose the future trip and went to Hanseatic Tours learning about the ancient Hanseatic partnership of various countries for protection and trade alliances. Our guide was and always has been by request Tami Veneeman (or something like that). Her local knowledge is superb and if she doesn’t make up answers to questions, but researches and gets back to you timely. We learned a lot, had a super time fully guided, had a wonderful comfortable and spacious boat so didn’t have to pack and unpack daily. Breakfast and dinner were served daily, and the chef was magnificent! We also had a treat when we arrived back to the boat each day. We are truly looking forward to another trip with this company in the next year.

well organized . Everything went as planned ,eleven on the one occasion where there was a technical hitch a solution was found relatively quickly . our guide Andre was very good , very knowledgeable & very willing to help . he had a passion for his job & enjoyed what he was doing . My only comment is that the bikes should have been better with a better gearing system for faster gear change abilities .

Great staff, great itinerary. Really looked after you.

Our tour team was fabulous; the routes (as well as the custom map and Ride with GPS preset mapping) were outstanding and the meals and other services on the boat were excellent. Comfortable cabin and very nice public areas on the Fluvius! Everything about this tour was great; this was our first organized group cycling tour for my wife and me (I’ve done solo cycling in Europe before) and we will definitely be repeat customers with Boat Bike Tours!

Not one for giving praise lightly or ever, I did the Hanseatic tour 13-21 Aug 21, it was nothing short of incredible every aspect was top quality, food, tour leaders, vessel, service and organisation etc. Honestly one of the best holidays I have ever experienced. I will definitely book again !

Just two days before the Northern Tour would start, the provinces north- and south Holland were indicated as Corona risk zones. So the management quickly proposed the Hansa-Tour, with start in Utrecht instead of Amsterdam. This was just one of several changings of program during this exceptional tour through the Veluwe. We can be happy, the tour took place and that the crew made it happen. A week later, it seems that the boatbike season was finished because of Corona inscreasing. Thanks for these special days, with interesting tours, good food, helpful guides and staff.

Obwohl die Umbuchung sehr kurzfristig war hat alles wunderbar geklappt. Das Team auf der De Holland war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Die Radtouren waren sehr schön. Die Navigationsapp war sehr gut und immer aktualisiert für die kurzfristigen Streckenänderungen. Wir freuen uns schon auf die nächste Tour mit boot&bike tours.
