My husband and I had a really great 8 days on the Magnifique II biking from Bruges to Amsterdam. Each day we had a choice of long or shorter distances. Whichever we chose, we were guided safely along the extensive and amazing pathway system: through forests, peaceful countryside, along canals and beautiful towns. Time was taken each day to learn a bit about the places through which we were cycling. The food was excellent – never were we left hungry and the “barge” was very comfortable. The bonus was the rest of our fellow cyclists. We were all keen to take in as much of the culture and experience as we could on the bikes and off. With that and a very friendly professional staff, it was a great way to end our month long travels. Thanks to the entire crew of the M II.

Our tour went from Bruges to Paris onboard Fleur. It was an gear experience as we were so well treated by the Captain, the staff and the guide. They all went out of their way to accommodate us. Our chef Thimo prepared the most delicious meals. The daily rides were through some really beautiful landscapes. Our guide was professional, fun and energetic.

Accommodations were exceptional.Evening meals could have had more seafood selections. Breakfasts were very repetitive. Think about adding more TVs to the lounge area with mirroring phone capabilities, great for sharing experiences and retaining passengers in the lounge area.Staff and guides were AMAZING! GPS driven tour worked great! I would book again with this company in a heartbeat!

My husband and I + a group of 14 friends (total 16 of us) travelled on the Flora ship. The ship was extremely clean, beds were super comfortable, shower had good water pressure and was hot. The common area was small but enough to accommodate all of the 22 passengers. The Captain, the host (his wife) and one helper were extremely accommodating and measure no efforts to please us. The food was plenty, had lots of variety and was amazingly presented. We had breakfast, a box provided for us to do our own lunch, a snack when we came back from the bike ride and a 3 course dinner. Coffee and tea were available all the time and a cash bar was also available. The ship was well kept and showed the love the crew has for her. The bikes were new and in very good condition. Panniers were provided which had enough space to carry our box lunch and some extra layers of clothing Wilmie our guide!!! Beyond any good review. She was FANTASTIC! she had to do a lot of adaptations to our route due to some bridge problems and she spent her evenings preparing for our next day route. She made sure we were all able to complete our rides and would take interest on each one of us. She showed us amazing places. The route had a lot of variety and plenty of stops at good cafés I would recommend this trip to anybody with reasonable level of fitness and flexibility for changes. This was not a sports trip. The pace is leisure …it is a vacation It was a memorable vacation

The boat was very clean and our room was clean and very well organized. Staff were very friendly and attentive to any needs. The food was very good and well presented. The tour was easy to follow and gave options for length of the cycle. It was a great experience! Thank you.

Booking with Bike Boat Tours was simple, they were very responsive with any questions. Our week on the barge was as described, and we enjoyed it very much. The staff onboard were helpful and efficient. The 2 bike tour guides were available and helpful during the day, they were out biking the route should anyone run into trouble (ours was a self-guided biking tour). The GPS App for the biking routes was great, although there were a few glitches. We were also given good maps with the biking junction points, which allowed us to easily customize our cycling route (if/when we wanted to). Would definitely recommend renting an ebike so to enjoy the biking, and not have to be out of breath in the hilly areas, and on the windy days. Although the breakfasts and lunches were good, there was not much variation from day to day. Dinner was good, but not amazing. There were main course options of fish, meat or veggie main course for dinner each evening…which would be chosen each evening for the following day. We would have preferred to not have to sit with the same people for breakfast and dinner everyday. Perhaps another system could be put in place, that guests could choose where to sit…yet the servers could easily see which meal each guest had ordered.
