Netherlands: Southern Tour of Holland
22 May 2022

The trip has been great, great arrangement for daily trips. Decent and easy to understand each trip information. Good map and trip description. Good and comfortable bikes. Very good and comfortable cabin. Nice hosts and good service. Breakfast with the option of packed lunch was very good. Dinner was rather mediocre, not very quality to be hotel class. This should get better. Otherwise well satisfied and happy to take a new trip. Tanks

Hi Jan, Thank you for your great review and positive rating. How nice to hear that you enjoyed your time aboard De Amsterdam. We have heard the feedback about the food more often this year. Fortunately, we are in well contact with the owner of the ship and have expressed our concerns regarding the food. He promises to do better. The owner of boat bike tours happened to visit De Amsterdam last Friday and had dinner on board with the guests. He was already very positive and also provided them with feedback for improvement. I hope we can see you again on board one of our ships. Kind regards team Boat Bike Tours.

My wife and I enjoyed the Southern Holland tour hosted by Boat/Bike Tours. We found the guides, boat crew, and staff were excellent and worked diligently to make our tour enjoyable. The accommodations are very comfortable and the food is excellent. Biking in Holland is a joy. However, for those who are not familiar with the biking culture in the Netherlands, be sure to listen carefully to the orientations! You will notice that biking is serious in Holland. Pay attention so you make as few mistakes as possible. One great tip we learned is to be sure to stop at any cafe where you see bicyclists. The always know the best stops. We had first thought to design our own tour but we discovered this outfit and realized that there was no way we could tour as efficiently by ourselves. The price is excellent for all that is provided. Best wishes as you bike!

Our South Holland Boat Bike Tour was worth every penny. De Amsterdam is a wonderful cruise ship. The onboard meals were excellent, the crew was courteous and went out of their way to help any way they could. The cabins were well appointed and airy. We were given and uploaded GPX files for each day’s bike ride, however ended up using Fietsknoop, a Dutch app for following the waypoints for each day’s ride. The app worked out well. The only reasons not to give the tour 5 stars were: 1) The tour itself was operated by SE-Tours – a German company. All but 5 passengers spoke German, the rest of us English. Consequently, all daily briefings and speeches were conducted in German. For sure we received our own separate briefing which was gladly given, but we had to seek these out, 2) When my wife and I arrived to drop off our luggage on the ship, the crew’s passenger list did not include us. Later a representative from SE Tours arrived with a list that did include us but we had been moved to another cabin that we were not originally assigned to. This resulted in loosing our assigned bikes which are assigned by cabin, not by person. We also had to ask for the rear and front paniers, and air pump. We never did get the air pump. We feel there could have been better co-ordination between Boat Bike Tours and the tour operators.

Had a good tour with Boat and Bike. Allowing guest to use bikes while “in port” would have made the trip fantastic.

Nagyon jó szervezés. Rengeteg látniváló és még sportnak sem utolsó. A Covid helyzetben is kellemes kikapcsolódás és pihenést nyújtott.

Southern Tour – my husband and I had a great week seeing more of Holland than we could imagine. We were on De Amsterdam. The boat is beautiful, the food was fabulous. Tour guides spoke English and everyday we went over the next days tour. We had ebikes. I was happy we had those because, we had some windy days and the dunes were hilly. Plus, we biked near 50 km everyday. It was a breeze with the ebike! The week was memorable and we really enjoyed it! Great trip with a group. Thank you for a great week!

What a fantastic time we had! We loved the cycling routes, the adventure of navigation, the scenery, the coffee and beer stops and the excellent planning of these trips. The floating hotel was lovely, meals excellent and well executed. Would love to do this again!

Japka (younger tour leader) can be less condescending to passengers who do not follow every bike ride. Everyone shd b allowed to make a choice even if it’s a boat bike tour
