Nice boat, beautiful route.

Fabulous way to experience Belgium and The Netherlands. Touring these countries lead by Boat and Bikes fun and knowledgable guides made this a truly memorable trip. The boat was like a 5 star hotel with great rooms, excellent staff and delicious food!

Croatia is a very pleasant and clean country to visit. The scenery is spectacular and the water is so clean The history is amazing and the people were so kind and approachable.

The concept of cycling by day and sailing between rides works very well. Our two guides were excellent. They were able to adjust the routes according to the weather forecast thereby achieving 5 days of dry and (mostly) sunny cycling. They were also very safety conscious. The boat was clean. The cabin was quite small but with adequate storage. The en suite shower worked well. Meals were very good. The bikes were not in the best condition, unlike the ones on our last boatandbike tour. Along with other guests we had anticipated Breakfast and Dinner on board with either a packed lunch or finding a café during the day. A large cooked lunch on 2 days didn’t work as well. €25 pp for water is frankly excessive. Paying in cash on the boat seems very dated. Overall a wonderful week.

Tara and Sjerd were excellent tour guides. They adjusted the rides to accommodate the weather and made special arrangements with operators (ex wine tasting) for our group. They were cognizant of the wide range of cyclists experiences and were able to accommodate everyones needs. The cook was outstanding, albeit and bit too much food! The quality and presentation of meals was excellent. The bartender was very engaged with cyclist too.

Wonderful way to experience Europe! We just returned from an 11-day boat bike tour between Brugges, Belgium and Amsterdam, NL. aboard The Fleur. It was absolutely top notch! This cycling vacation offered guided cycling through the lovely countryside and into numerous historical sites in Belgium and The Netherlands. Our expert guides offered insights into the political, demographic, cultural, and industrial history along the way. The daily cycling program was well-organized, and informative, the gourmet meals were always fresh and on time, the accommodations were clean and private, and staff were exceptionally competent, friendly, and helpful. The cycling guides were extremely knowledgeable. We learned a lot and made new friends. We would highly recommend this tour to those who want to experience history and culture in an active holiday. Great staff! Great holiday!

Bicycle in Istria, Croatia. Good guides, especially Kristoffer, very helpful and well-informed. The food onboard was OK but not excellent.

The ship is great, the food is good, one guide was good the other was not. The trip was overall worth doing – perhaps just not the last rip of the season when the wheels fell off a little bit e.g.tension between the guides, using up last bits of food e.g. no deliveries of good bread for the last 2 days, confusion about communication between the guides and the new captain.

Outstanding Captain and staff. Exceptional experience. 5 star restaurant. Great bar at reasonable prices. Very comfortable rooms with ensuite, cleaned daily to high standard. Fantastic guides on wonderful choice of bike routes. E-bikes made it easy. Far exceeded expectations and terrific value for money.

Very well operated barge & tour. Great guides for biking and excellent meals on board Magnifique IV. Crew worked very well together and often multi-tasked. We were impressed with spaciousness of suite as compared to river and sea cruises. Great value!!
