We had traveled on the Zwaantje in 2016 and wanted to travel with Captain Martijn again and introduced 5 other couples from Minneapolis, Minnesota to the experience. The staff was superb and the meals were exquisite. This is such a wonderful way to travel and see the countries. Thank you to all the crew especially Karin hostess+, Talia chef, and Michiel guide and of course to Captain Martijn. Only complaint were that some bicycles were a little tired.I think if you do switch to all ebikes that will make the experience even better.

Tour guide bike leader Frans was excellent. Nice disposition and also very informative. Laundry options were lacking. Dinners were well prepared. Hot breakfast such as oatmeal would have been nice. Perhaps earlier dinners would afford more time to explore villages in the evening. Captain and crew very good and responsive.

The crew combination superb! Hanseatic Tour 5/25-6/1. Magnifique II. Capt. Michael, Asst. Thomas, Guides Andre and Edith, Hostesses Alexandra and Jolie, and most accommodating and capable chef Gerhart all combined to provided a first rate and memorable experience. Looking forward to the next adventure!

First of all, we were greeted in a friendly and accommodating way, all the staff were polite and so willing to please. The boat was clean and beautiful. The weather was perfect. All the other guests were so friendly, like minded, and a joy to be with. I think the combination of all these things, plus tour guides that went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience, and a Chef that was amazing, made this trip an experience of a lifetime!!! I can not thank the staff and especially the tour guides, who made our biking and special tours such a life-long memory.

Such a memorable biking trip for our club. The boat was comfortable, the captain was great and our chef was outstanding. The remaining staff were also very accommodating. Our bikes were in good shape and our trip leaders, Hetty & Corrie, were wonderful. We did some scenic and beautiful trails. We also had some very interesting excursions included in our Germany trip.

This time we did the Hanseatic tour on Magnifique II. It was another amazing experience and one I would highly recommend! As with all the Magnifques the ship is lovely, the crew are amazing, and the food is top shelf! As this is our third tour (Tulip and A’dam-Brugge were the others) one thing we had noticed every time are guests who overestimated their cycling capabilities and booked a standard bike instead of an e-bike. The guides are amazing providing them with a spare e-bike if available, but there are only so many. Please, for the sake of your own enjoyment, if you don’t ride at least 20-30km once a week at home, book an e-bike! The crew on this trip were so amazing! When my wife who has perfume allergies expressed a concern, they immediately went out and bought unscented detergent and washed all the table linens (not just our table) to make sure she was comfortable! Shout out to our wonderful guides, Edith and Andre who would add little detours if they knew of a cool spot to see, and had so much knowledge of the history of the places we visited. Joline and Alexandra were outstanding hostesses and took great care of everyone. Gerad was tireless in the kitchen! I am usually up early and he was at work at 5:30am every day! Captain Micheal and First Mate Thomas made me feel especially welcome and part of the team (except when Thomas and I discussed Eredivisie Football!) We are excited to learn that the new Magnifique I is joining the fleet next year, with the success BBT has been having, they are going to need more boats!

We enjoyed everything. Our guide, Fred, was amazing. He was funny but always professional. The boat crew were always helpful and polite. The food was delicious. This was our second bike and barge and we highly recommend.

Had a fantastic trip with Boat Bike Tours. What a team of professionals! Accommodations on board were great and food was the best. Tour leaders provided challenging and most interesting daily trips.

The staff on the Flora made our week pleasant, comfortable, and easy. The chef was excellent and a lot of fun as well. They worked hard so we could play hard. We were celebrating a special occasion, and the other guests and the staff made it a lifetime memory. It was like a happy dream.

Outstanding guides and crew! A wonderful experience and fantastic way to see Greece! Great quality bikes (I recommend getting an eBike).
