Thoroughly Enjoyable

Very pleased. We sailed with the Zwaantje on a 14 day tour from Bruges to Paris. Overall, great staff and good food. Ride variety through the trip was sufficient to keep it interesting. Be aware the rooms are functional but small. Tips for anyone thinking about it: there’s limited clothes storage and no washing service on board so pack as much quick dry clothing as you can. Don’t be afraid to take time off from riding. A day on the barge can be very pleasant One of our guides organised a day trip to the Somme on our rest day. Very interesting, particularly for we Australians. The bikes have small diameter handle bars so if you want to use a bike computer take a spacer. If we were to do it again we’d opt for a shorter journey, say 5 to 7 nights. Be nice to your guides, they’re gold.
