This was our first boat-bike trip and it was everything we imagined. We chose northern Holland because we wanted quiet, nature, small villages, and no crowds or city riding. We loved the mix of wooded paths, dikes, dunes, coastal routes and village roads. Every day was different. Most of the 90 passengers were Dutch or German and over age 60. Only a handful of kids onboard. Evenings were quiet, in the lounge or on the sun deck, and there wasn’t much to do but it’s a canal boat not a cruise ship and we were quite happy with that. Our twin suite was as spacious as a hotel room. Definitely worth paying a little extra. Also splurged on e-bikes because while the routes were mostly flat the winds were something else. Food was tasty and there was lots of it. We missed one port because a storm kept us from crossing the Ijsselmeer but went to a naval museum and submarine in Den Helder instead and were quite happy with our choice. Definitely one of our best bike trips and would recommend highly!

There wasn’t a single aspect of this trip that did not exceed expectations. The staff were exemplary, the boat was immaculate, the food was varied and tasty and the guides were so resp9nsive to conditions and never showed signs of stress…even when our route had to change dramatically due to the closure of the river. I will be back…I have never felt so well taken care of.

We just completed the Bruges to Amsterdam tour and it was a wonderful experience! The tour guides were very knowledgeable and the captain and the crew of our boat (the Fiep) were great. All of the staff were professional yet were relaxed and personable, which helped to create a fun atmosphere. I would highly recommend this tour!

My husband and I booked this tour for ourselves and our children (ages 11 and 14) and have nothing but praise for the crew, guides and the other guests on the ship. Everyone was so welcoming and kind, and it wasn’t long before we felt like we were part of an even bigger family. There was something magical about cycling through the countryside and historic sites, and then coming “home” to a great meal surrounded by friends.
