We had a most excellent time with the Boat and Bike Tours. Our tour guides Esther & Tom were the best. They gave us tips on what to do and how to react in certain situations. We had the e-bikes which made the trip easier in the needed areas. Our accommodations were very comfortable and clean every day. The captain Walter and crew were very friendly and would give the time for a little chat. The chief Pettr made the most delicious meals we have had in a long time. We give this trip a 10 out of 10 in all aspects and highly recommend it. Way to go Boat and Bike Tours.

This was our first bike and barge experience. We had an amazing time. No complaints

Boat was very clean and comfortable. All staff were more than willing to help with any questions. The bikes were kept in perfect condition . There was normally a choice of a long or short tour each day with both having a guide or if you wished you could go out on your own with excellent directions from the guides. The food prepared for us was 5 star all the way with a minimum of a 3 course dinner each night. All in all one of the best holidays my wife and I have ever had.

Magnifique crew and all services were premium. The guides were good for routes and mechanics but not so great on communication and touring. I do not recall a single time that the stop signal was given. Consequently, there were fast stops and riders bumping each other on occasion. Consistently I had to ask why we were stopping…coffee break? Water? Lunch? Where are the toilets? Where is potable water? Never provided without asking, then of course only a few of us had the information. Tom seemed bored. Esthe, seemed unaware of group need for communication. Nothing awful, but I would say premier ship and average guides.

This is one of the best trips we have ever taken. Patrick and his crew was outstanding. Chef Dick prepared great meals for this type of trip. Corrie and Erna as guides were excellent. We enjoyed meeting people from four different continents. In summary, this trip could not have gone better even though we had a few challenging days with the weather.

Our BBT experience was wonderful. We bicycled through Belgium and the Netherlands and ate and slept on the boat that accompanied us. Everything about the trip was top notch from the food, accommodations, guides, ship crew and bicycles. The tour was definitely top value for money spent.

My wife and I recently completed the Boat-Bike tour leaving from Amsterdam and terminating in Bruges. We are experienced explorers, having traveled extensively through the Americas, Europe, and Asia. We like active, informative, and experiential trips that also provide time for relaxation, good food, and soaking up local color. We found our Boat Bike tour to be the ideal combination of activity, cultural experiences, historical orientation, relaxation, and superb food and drink. This trip will rate as one of our all-time favorite vacations. Our crew on the barge and our tour guides on the bikes were exceptional on every level. I can’t say enough about their professionalism and personable approach to the trip. They made us feel at home and comfortable from the beginning, and they had our comfort foremost in their minds. We felt they were all fully committed to giving our group the best experience possible. The boat was perfect–small enough for an intimate group but large enough for a comfortable and luxurious cruise. The bikes were great–they were high quality, comfortable, dependable, and well suited for each individual. My wife is 5 ft. tall, and they provided the perfect size bike for her small frame. If we could find these bikes in the states, we would purchase them for our personal bikes. We spent a 2-3 days on both ends of the cruise exploring Amsterdam, Bruges, and Brussels and highly recommend adding a few days if possible. Wonderful experience in every way–thank you Boat Bike Tours. Conrad (Ozzie) Ostwalts

I We had a wonderful experience. We loved the guides Frank and Corrie. The food was excellent. I enjoyed visiting with the Captain in the wheel house. The only bad experience was we didn’t get proper address to where the boat was docked and we spent $140.00 euros finding it after making two trips to your office..

Exploring Belgium and The Netherlands from the perspective of a bike is the only way to go! We truly enjoyed the experience due to the five star service provided by the friendly Boat Bike staff along with the the great food and accommodations! Thank you Boat Bike Tours!

The ship was very good, well sized for the group, and the suites were well proportioned. The crew were excellent and looked after our every wishes. The food was top quality. We had a great trip. Thanks!
