It’s hard to put into words the wonderful week we have had….from the welcoming hospitality of the crew every day to the incredible nutritious food, and the warm, knowledgeable, clear, concise and patient tour guide Francien and exquisite countryside while biking or staying on the boat…it’s been a magical week and I can not recommend it enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Everything was perfect! The staff was always there for us. Our biking was great. The food was wonderful. Would love to do it again!

Great service & a great experience.

This was our second Boat Bike tour. The ship was spotless and crew were attentive! Food was Great with Vegetarian options available. Bikes are comfortable and taken care of and the rides are Awesome! – Such beautiful landscapes! The Guibo App worked well _ although bring an extra charge with you. Our Group of 18 had the Best time!

My husband and I traveled with Boat Bike tours from Amsterdam to Bruge and we highly recommend this company. The boat was clean and comfortable and the crew was fantastic. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We saw so many wonderful sites, tried lots of great food and made many new friends. It was a wonderful adventure and we can’t wait to do another one! Thanks to everyone for creating an unforgettable holiday for us!

We thoroughly enjoyed our Hansa Highlights Boat and Bike Tour! We loved that the holiday was an active holiday. The tour guide was interesting, kind and funny. He had a great deal of knowledge of the area to share with us. We also really liked the independence of the tour each day, all the information was given to us each night for the next day’s tour and we could decide what we saw and how fast to go. The food was delicious and the cabins were comfortable. We would highly recommend the Boat Bike Tour for your next holiday.

We had a daily briefing of the bike route which was very thorough. The ship was in excellent condition, newly refurbished, the cabin roomy enough with plenty of closet/storage. Entire crew was friendly and helpful. The food was plentiful and over the top with 5 course dinners every night beautifully presented and of excellent quality. My only criticism was that our cruise director tended to be a little short and clipped with his answers if we asked him a question–as if he were annoyed that he had to say it again. Otherwise, we loved the entire trip. It ended to quickly, but we’re planning on doing another Boat Bike Tour next year.

This was a great trip! The crew members were so helpful and very attentive to our needs. We took the Moret-sur-Loing to Auxerre trip. The scenery was very nice and the small towns we visited were very cute. Frank, our chef, made wonderful meals and we never left hungry.

The bike trip was very good and the staff was excellent. The meals were delicious and the coffee/tea 24//7 was much appreciated. Things that were different. We deviated a lot from the course planned so that the Ride with GPS was pretty useless. It would have been nice to use it on a day where we wanted to ride on our own. Also, when I first tried to order bikes in the spring, there were only four e bikes available so we didn’t have a chance THEN to obtain one….when we arrived on the boat there were bikes available BUT now they were a lot more expensive to rent. It felt like you should have let us know sooner when bikes were available and offered them at the price in the spring signup. It felt kind of like a scam/ markup ploy. I ended up with a regular bike anyway but I also felt that the regular bike was not as good a quality bike as the ones I used on previous trips. It had less gears and poorer componentry than the bikes I used in the Netherlands and in Belgium. Overall, the trip was wonderful and I will do another one someday! We met such nice people and enhoyed the countryside.

Although this was a self-guided tour, Olga, who was the Tour Guide, did an outstanding job in making sure everyone was comfortable for each ride day. In addition, she rode the routes every day. The Crew was very helpful…especially Ryan with the Bikes and the 2 Staff who did all of the outside work during the voyage. This De Holland was well appointed both in the staterooms and common areas.
