Twelve family and friends just finished the April 21 trip on the Fluvius, Amsterdam to Bruges. We all enjoyed it very much. The barge was super clean and comfortable. The chef prepared wonderful meals. The bicycling routes were very scenic, with short stops along the way for brief talks at historic sites. We felt the mileage was good: approximately 25 to 35 miles a day along flat routes through small towns and countryside. Our tour leader Guus was excellent. It was so nice to get back on the barge late afternoon and not have to plan where to go for dinner. We enjoyed the small size of the barge: 44 people. The crew and Captain were very friendly, nice and hard workers. We appreciated that our request for 2 tables of 6 to sit together was arranged. Email to the company ahead was easy and they responsed quickly to any of our questions. We had one of the new upstairs double rooms with a big window: worth the extra. Others in our group were downstairs and liked those rooms as well. There was also time to walk around the towns we docked in overnight. We highly recommend this trip.

WE had the most wonderful bike/barge tour on the Fluvius. Captain Visser and his second mate Ligthart were excellent and professional pilots on our trips through the canals. They were very accessible and easy to talk with about the barge and how they guided it along the canals. The whole staff was friendly and easy going. They all made the trip wonderful, especially in dealing with some very tired bikers at the end of the day. a very professional staff.

Our trip from Amsterdam to Bruges, Belgium was fantastic! The boat is beautiful. The staff is very hard-working and accomomdating. The food was great. The tour guide was terrific at getting 34 people of varying cyclying abilities and ages from Point A to Point B each day. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing the Netherlands and Belgium in a much more intimate way than a traditional tour.

A High quality vacation that exceeded my expectations. I was on the Fluvious ship in May 2017 and it was exceptional. The ship was clean and comfortable. I liked that it was smaller (19 cabins) so I got to know others aboard the ship. The staff were professional and knowledgeable. Our guide was also very keen about history of the area and a well organized manager of our group. The bikes were in good working order and the food was also very good! It was so nice to have the balance of exercise with the bike tour as well as cruise the river. I would highly recommend this company and their tours and in fact, I will definitely book a different trip with Boat Bike Tours again :) Lyn Bull – Cobble Hill, BC Canada

had a wonderful time, friendly staff, excellent meals, great tour guide who rode at a comfortable pace during the whole 6 days of riding , only drawback was possibly not enough photo stops

We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with Boat and Bike tours. The boat Fluvius was well appointed and comfortable. The cabin was more spacious than we expected. The staff were extremely helpful and very friendly. Special mention must go to our tour guide ” Guis” who was tremendous and the very friendly and competent “Alex and Marianne” in the bar and dining room. We don’t hesitate to recommend this tour and tour company to anyone. Marieke and Neil

My daughter (age 27) and I (61) did the Amsterdam to Bruges bike/barge trip in May 2017. We loved every minute of it. The Magnifique is a beautiful barge with extremely comfortable beds, the food was good and plentiful and our guide Arie was fantastic. It’s very easy to follow the bike maps provided if you want to strike out on your own. We rented e-bikes because we had heard that the headwinds in Holland and Belgium can be strong (true) and we loved them. There was a good mix of ages on the barge – from 20s to 70s with the majority in their 40s and 50s. I would highly recommend this trip and will book with Boat Bike Tours in the future. Their website was easy to use and they promptly answered all email enquiries we had prior to the trip.

We loved the Boat Bike tour of Bruges, Belgium to Amsterdam, Netherlands. The tour leader Jzak was superb. He kept up a steady but comfortable pace. He was very knowledgeable about the places we visited and toured through. The entire crew on the Fluvius were great. Very helpful and cordial. I enjoyed everything about it!

An experience that everyone should do. Absolutely fantastic!!

We had a wonderful experience. The crew of the Magnifique II went above and beyond expectations, every day. Wonderful service. wonderful food, excellent accommodations and a top notch guide, all made our trip a great experience.
