The Hansa Highlights was my first Boat Bike trip and it will definitely not be my last. Everything on board the Magnifique II from the accommodations, the crew, the food, the guides and bikes exceeded my expectations. Having worked in the private yacht industry I understand how much effort is made by the entire crew to make a charter work seamlessly. Kudos to all. See you in 2024! Grazie mille, Margaret

The boat bike tour on the Gandalf was excellent! Our guide, Mihael and the rest of the crew were super professional while at the same time made us feel so at home. Our group was truly a community as the tour continued. The food was amazing, you just have to trust me! It’s very comfortable on the boat and the staff does everything to make you feel welcome. There were many side trips and excursions in the little towns that we really enjoyed. The tour inside of a windmill was a highlight! We really loved this tour and we have done other bike tours in the US and in Europe. Hans is quite a wonderful host and Girard, the skipper is fun to talk to and even let some guests drive the boat!

The trip was wonderful. Food was amazing. We enjoyed meeting many others on this trip. Ride was not difficult. More lower gears would have been helpful

Amazing trip on the Danube….crew was great!Leslie amazing tour guide. Food awesome.

We had a fantastic time! Loved the fact that it is a small ship. The staff and the guides were very friendly! Rooms were comfortable and plenty of seating on the decks of the ship It was like riding through a fairy tale when we went through the towns. Hugo was very passionate and full of history about what we were seeing! Food was excellent. Chef presented dinner menu each evening! Please check your policies on the bar bill… the sign in the room states cash or card…. The staff told us cash only…. Regular bikes were adequate, newer hybrid bikes with more gears would be amazing. Bikes need water bottle holders and/or a basket for easy access to water I didn’t try the E- bikes. I would definitely tell people to do this trip and I would definitely do another trip/tour with your company.

SARAH++++Any bike/boat tour is a great experience, this one was especially good because of the people we met, the quality of the staff and the route we took. Our guide Frans was fun, expert, and thoughtful about where he took us in relation to the wind. Thoughts about improvements: in the group was a 12 year old girl who really struggled in the wind with her child sized bike. some recommendation about strength and experience might have helped. The meals were lovely, and fun to share with companions we became good friends with at each meal. The e-bikes were great, certainly for this trip on the flat lands of North Holland. The cabin was exactly as we expected and very easy for us. Even the clothes we washed dried out over two days. We will be back.

Our July trip on the Magnifique III Bruges to Amsterdam was superb. The cycling was very doable even for this 70 year old. Our guides were attentive and knowledgeable. The service on board our barge was “world class” with outstanding meals. Biking through rural areas was peaceful and beautiful, the towns & cities visited were architectural/historical wonders. I highly recommend Boat/Bike tours.

I was looking forward to this adventure from the day I made the reservation. We gave ourselves an extra day to wander the streets of the picturesque village of Enkhuizen. Finding the ship was easy and when we boarded were delighted to find new friends just waiting to be met. The boat was comfortable, food was exceptional and crew courteous and welcoming. Cycling was through varied landscapes of beautiful farm fields stunning coastal seascapes and cool clean forests on bicycle paths and low traffic roads. It was a pleasure taking a break in small villages for coffee, a snack and time to chat with new found friends from different countries. A truly delightful trip.

Well organised. Wonderful crew and guides who were knowledgeable, obliging and caring. Boat in excellent shape. Plenty of nutritious and well presented meals. Bikes kept in good order.

Exceptional experience, helpful crew,exiting holiday+activity combination
