The best Boat Bike tour we have done so far!

This is our 4th Boat and Bike tour and the best so far. It combined the excellent cycling facilities of Holland with the smaller boat we enjoyed so much in France. Our international group of Brits, Germans, Dutch and one Belgian got along fine together, assisted by our affable and laid-back guide, Fred. Ages ranged from 50’s (hope I haven’t offended anyone) to 80 and everyone managed the cycling easily. The rental bikes were better this year – not the very heavy Dutch bikes with back-pedal brakes. Food was good and plentiful. The crew were friendly and the boat lovely and clean. Yes, the cheaper cabins are tiny and you have to be quite nimble to get into the top bunk but it is only for a week and you only use the cabin to sleep in. Would recommend the holiday to anyone who likes an outdoor holiday and who can ride a bike – you don’t have to be Bradley Wiggens, just able to stay upright and turn the pedals for a couple of hours a day. Electric bikes are available if even that sounds a bit daunting
