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!!

Good boat – having an internal informal area with bar was important. Great crew who were interested in you and did their best to make the trip good for everyone.

From the warm greetings we received when we first came on board to the final hour of our trip, the crew on Magnicient IV were great. The accommodations, service, cleanliness, food and beverages were exceptional. I suggest that the woman bike guide needs additional training, she is not a good communicator. Her English is not up to the standard with the other members of the team. Very friendly and kind, but her knowledge is lacking.

This was our second bike /barge trip. And once again it was wonderful. But it was very different from our journey 4 years ago. The group was smaller and because of its size everyone socialized with each other. We all used the guided tour this time and the two guides, Hester and Nina, traded off every other day so we bonded with both of them. The familiarity was quite nice. Our captain Michael was amazing and the teamwork with all of the seven crew members was a team builder’s dream. They worked seamlessly together. Michael the captain even helped out drying dishes as Albert , his ship hand was often in the kitchen helping Michael , our incredible cook. I absolutely enjoyed our Amsterdam to Bruges journey.

Everything was amazing

The right combo of biking activity and other activities. Loved going through the little towns and cities of Belgium and Netherlands. Felt safe on bikes. 2 countries so bike friendly. Appreciated the other evening activities like beer tasting, chocolate tasting, etc. Tour guides were great. Knowledgeable about the history and made it interesting. Boat staff were personable, helpful (and hardworking !!). Food was great.

Comfortable Boat and bikes. Excellent food. Great staff on the boat. Fantastic and knowledgeable guides while biking. Highly recommended.

This was a first class experience all around. The Magnifique 11 was beautiful, comfortable and clean. With lots of cozy places to relax. The crew and bike guides were amazing. The food delicious! I have only great things to say. Our route was Amsterdam to Brugge. Get an e bike unless you are crazy fit. We had some head winds and our regular bike crew really struggled.

Knowledgeable and fun guides. Excellent boat crew. Cabins were clean and tidy. Good food.

Our overall experience with Boat Bike Tour was wonderful. Our guides were very knowledgeable and experienced. We enjoyed the variety of Belgium and the Netherlands, not only while we were biking but as we were traveling on the boat as well. As for the boat and her crew, can’t say enough about how they made everything comfortable. Cabins were always clean and comfortable, the meals were amazing. The crew worked very hard to make our experience the best it could be. I highly recommend Boat Bike Tour for a very enjoyable biking experience. My wife and I are great full to Peter and Marleen for making our trip amazing.
