We had a wonderful bike tour on the Zeewanjee. The crew including Karyn and Captain Willie were superb. Our guides, Tami and Marcel, were excellent….they combined people skills, selecting beautiful sites to take breaks, humor, knowledge of history and the area with excellent bike repair skills and support. From Captain Willie getting us taxis to our trains, to keeping the ship clean and tidy, they did a remarkable job. It was an unforgettable experience. Thank you very much.

A fantastic trip. Great staff. Good food and fellowship. I would highly recommend Boat Bike Tours!

This excursion was terrific benefited by 2 great biking guides Tamara and Marcel. They make a great team! The crew led by Karen. Willie, Sergi and cook Franc were accommodating nag and a pleasure to sail with. Looking forward to our next trip!

The ship and the staff were amazing on the Zwanntje. Tami & Marcel were our guides for the week and they were awesome. Karin, Frank, Serge & CPT Willy were awesome too! The food was fabulous, the rooms were clean and comfy and everything we needed was attended to by the staff.

This trip was fantastic! We took the Zwaanja from Bugge to Amsterdam. My wife and I stayed in a cabin with a double bed that was very comfortable. Each cabin is equipped with AC and a private bathroom/shower. Beds were made each day with fresh towels. The food was delicious. Plenty of coffee and cocktails. The captain and crew were very accommodating and friendly. The guides for the bike tour were friendly and knowledgeable. the rides were at an easy pace with very little elevation change. Plenty of stops for food/drink/site seeing. On two days we rode using the app which was very accurate and easy to follow. Bikes were comfortable with several modifications that could be made to adjust handlebar and seat height. I have no complaints. Highly recommend!

Wonderful, caring, thoughtful crew and staff and cycle guides. Did everything they could to accommodate individual needs for diet or cycle requirements. They joined in the camaraderie of the group. Beds a bit uncomfortable – hard. Either the mattress could be raised or the edge of the bed lowered to make getting out of bed easier and less uncomfortable. Maybe, since we were in France we might have had more French cuisine but the Meals were varied and very good. Frank’s meal rituals were great fun too. Many thanks for making this a memorable trip!

We had a wonderful time on the Zwaantje! Crew and captain we very friendly and tried to be as accommodating as possible. Two small negatives, there was no sunshade on the deck( wind had destroyed it a few days earlier) and we had expected to be able to lunch or have a glass of wine at a village while biking…everything was closed in villages most days! The guides tried very hard to find cafes but none open! Overall it was an excellent experience and would do it again!

We had a fantastic time on the Zwaantje! The crew was very friendly and attentive, the meals were excellent, and from wine tasting, ostrich farm to the evening walks, the guides ensured a safe and informative experience. Well done everyone! Having the same selections for every lunch was the only negative in 10 days of happy memories.

We recently sailed on the Zwaantje from Paris to Auxerre. Everything about the trip was superb especially the staff. Cycle leaders Andre and Marcel were amazing especially when we were experiencing some physical challenges. Frank was an awesome chef. The meals were better than we could have hoped. Lots of variety and creativity. Being g vegetarian was accommodated well. The owner Martin was so professional yet approachable and fun. Karen was an all around charming hostess who looked after our every need. The only concern was the small size of the cabins if you were really tall. Otherwise we had a blast. Our private cycling group has rented the whole boat for many trips with this company and loved them all.

Wonderful cycling trip from Bruges to Paris 14 days of glorious weather and cycling. Small group of 20 cyclists which was great to get to know everyone. Frank (the chef) created wonderful dinners every night! The Swaantje had a great crew and a lovely upper sun deck nice for yoga in the morning and a drink after cycling. The crew on this barge were wonderful. We had two great guides Weiger and Andrew who made all the difference to our daily trips. I look forward to sailing with BoatBike Tours again next July 2023!
