The crew were friendly, helpful and readily available and our two guides were wonderful. The boat was small and spartan, as expected, but comfortable and became our home for the week with a great bunch of fellow cyclists. The food was outstanding – delicious and plentiful! The bikes were in good shape and smooth to ride and while the days were cool and often wet we certainly enjoyed the rides (and fun stops) on this terrific tour.

We went on the 8 day tulip tour, but the tulips were mostly all finished blooming. The trip was from May 4 to 12. We noticed a poster advertising the tulip festival from April 1 to 30, so it is obvious to me that we were scheduled outside of the tulip blooming window. That was disappointing. Otherwise, the trip was great. The guide was exceptionally well-versed in the history of The Netherlands and gave great evening town walks. The food was excellent. The room was very small, but we did not spend much time in it. The crew was great and the bikes were comfortable and in great condition. Overall a great tour.

Had wonderful time. What a great way to see the country side!!

The family owned and operated Fluere was a delight. All of the boat crew and ride leaders were friendly and helpful. Accommodations were simple, yet were comfortable and surprisingly roomy.

Having previously traveled with this company I was hesitant to book this trip, but this barge, the crew and guides were excellent

Could not have had a better experience. Well looked after by crew and knowledgeable guide. Bikes well maintained, routes well planned and interesting. Guide also arranged evening sight seeing.

Boat Bike Trip The bike leaders were marvelous. The staff on the boat were wonderful. two areas of concern, our documentation on the trip listed “Sarah” as our boat, but that was incorrect, it was Fleur (caused confusion when we were looking for the boat, very frustrating). No one in the train station information booths (many) knew where the exit door (with the name on the documentation) was. very confusing. several days into the trip, I woke to find our cabin had at least two inches of water on the floor, and everything n the floor including our luggage. was very wet. apparently the toilet in the cabin next to ours had been running all night and filled the collection tank. the staff tried to dry up the water from carpet, etc. but still wet and moldy/musky, causing some congestion and coughing from myself. 2nd day still carpet soaked, I believe on the third day the carpet was removed to dry out. We had a great trip, I loved the biking, enjoyed the itinerary, planned stops during the rides, seeing the Netherlands outside of Amsterdam.

Everything was perfect – of course the excellent weather helped a lot!

Our very first tour with Boat Bike was the eight day Tulip Premium Tour on the Fleur. We had high hopes for the adventures and they were met and exceeded ten fold. The tour was fabulous from start to finish and I can enthusiastically recommend this tour, boat, staff, and guides. The bikes were excellent, accommodations and food were outstanding, and I felt encouraged and supported throughout the trip. Special kudos to the amazing guides Marianne and Gijsbert who really were outstanding! Two thumbs – and eight fingers — enthusiastically way up!!

Our trip aboard the Fleur was the best!! Everything was excellent!! A perfect time of year to do it!!
