The boat facilities were very nice. Food was good. The three stars are due unsatisfactory security, problem management from staff and the lack of actual tours. Biking was mostly bike from point A to point B without much information sharing.
Heather Zschogner
Overall good value for $. Was frustrated with the wide variety of rider skill. Wish I had used the printed daily guide along with Ride With GPS more. More fresh vegetables at dinner. Frozen vegetables every night Night city walks were great Guides were knowledgeable about cities but not so much about the country side
Curtis Offenbacher
Bike tour guides Hilco and Corrie were very courteous ,pleasant and helpful throughout the trip, even in the rain. My wife was injured and could not bike, therefore spent most of the time on the boat. The crew was very kind, and helpfull including the captain going out of his way to spend time with her.
Janet and Terry
We thoroughly enjoyed our biking and barging from Bruges to Amsterdam. The Fluvius is a wonderful barge and the crew, meals, and ebikes were all excellent. The bike guides are very knowledgeable and ensure that you have a positive experience each day. The daily rides are through beautiful countryside and there are options for length of ride. Evenings on the…

The biking and guides were wonderful. Our room was musty and damp. Better ventilation is needed. There was confusion and mistakes made on my diet. I think I was given dairy and/or chicken broth as I got quite sick afterwards. Happy to see people of similar age and biking level. Fun to meet other passengers.
Peter Lintner
Outstanding from start to finish, on board and cycling. Great guides and incredible crew. Excellent meals. Walking tours in historical city centers were an added plus. I would do it again and I recommend oat Bike Tours highly.
Kathy
We enjoyed our tour guides, and the people we traveled with. The food was excellent and we had an entertainer come on board Thursday evening, and we all danced and had a good time! It was great to not have to load and unload the bikes each day. We rented bikes and helmets, very easy and good commuter type.
Sue & Eric Retter (Tejas Trail Blazers)
Our our guides and staff on the Fluvius were exceptional! The office staff (emails) could use some organization. We had a fantastic time on our boat bike adventure and look forward to booking another one!
Rom Houtstra
Fantastic crew, guides and food. I would have given 5 stars if the lower cabin where my sons resided wasn’t so humid, very hard to sleep in there, located next to laundry room.
Brent Petersen
Our family of 6 recently took the Amsterdam to Bruges tour and had a fantastic time. It was well planned with a nice mix of rural towns during the biking/day portion and beautiful cities to be toured in the afternoon or after dinner. The food was great and staff was outstanding as well. We will be looking to do another…
Peter Hebb
The entire boat bike experience far exceeded our expectations. The accomodations were , for a small river boat, excellant. The food was very good. The staff were all very engaging, entertaining, and professional. The cycling route was amazing , made only better by our guide, Jaak, who knew all the interesting places to visit enroute. A few tips for anyone…
Dan Lister
Our trip occurred in late June and the blooms were fantastic. The staff on the boat were excellent. Our guide was very knowledgeable and kept the group on track which was a challenge given the varying degree of biking skills. It was a great way to see the countries. The only complaints would be the bike seats were standardized and…
Carlos and Maria
You’ll read many reviews lauding the beauty and the fun of the biking portion of the trip (ours included), so I will not repeat them here. What was VERY disappointing were major deficiencies on our barge, The Fluvius. Sanitary concerns: The 6 cabins on the lower deck area we occupied were plagued with 4 days of fouls smells that emanated…
Frank Barretto
Great ride, organisation, boat/barge. Ship’s crew and Guides took it over the top. Weather cooperated making for a good adventure.

Malcolm
Excellent in all regards.
Jody Meyers
A great adventure for a reasonable cost! The crew of the Fluvuis was delightful, the food was surprisingly upscale, the accommodations were nicer than the photos, most of the bikes were brand new and perfectly adequate, the routes were engaging. The group pace was slow for us so we cycled on our own, following the routes, and had no problems.…

We had an amazing trip aboard the Fluvius. Onboard we were very well taken care of by the captain and crew. The food was delicious and the amenities were exceptional. Our bike excursions through the countryside were very picturesque and our knowledgeable tour guides gave additional historical perspectives that were educational and interesting. We also received nightly tours of the…
Karin Hansard
I never knew a boat/bike trip like this existed. My sister and brother in law suggested since we both love bike riding. It was a great time. We traveled in the first of May and the weather was not the best. We had cool and rainy days. But the whole crew and all the other passengers made the best of…

Kris Green
A friend of mine & I coordinated a trip from 5-4 to 5-11 (Amsterdam to Brugge) about 2 dozen of us from the great State of Michigan were on Fluvius for the week. The weather was not the best yet we preserved and made the best of each day. Grateful the weather person was wrong most days. Bring rain pants,…

My wife and I did the boat bike tour from Bruges to Amsterdam aboard Fluvious. We could not have been any happier, the food, the boat and our guides were all great!
Cheryl Edwards
I thought the Boat Bike Tour was awesome. Only bad thing was the weather and unfortunately no one has control of that. I am definitely going to do another bike and barge trip!
Walter van Schie & Joanne White
We found the barge/bike tour a fabulous experience. Good quality bikes, a great ride, coming back each day to a lovely, comfortable barge as our home. Food was magnificent and abundant. Our guide was excellent. He was friendly and very knowledgeable and like all the staff, had a great sense of humour. I can highly recommend this tour. A great…
Bruce
This exceeded my expectations in some areas. I thought the crew and tour leaders were very attentive to toe passengers needs throughout the week. The boat was quite nice, and we had a good mix of biking and time to mingle amongst the guest aboard. With this type of tour you always have to be ready to adjust to weather…
Beena & Ben Smereczniak
This was such a fun and amazing trip to see parts of Netherlands and Belgium that you never would see if not done this way. On a boat! The crew, guides, food and new friendships were second to none! I highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for some adventure.
Daniel Daniel Lalime and Marie-Claude Perreault
Everything was great, food, people, tours! We really had a great time with our guide Joppe, very nice staff on board and the food was amazing! Great experience.
Minnesota pair
The bike rides were very well organized, our accommodations were great, the food was excellent, and each member of the crew went out of their way to make sure we had the best experience possible. Even our fellow bikers were terrific – we made some new friends. Our only regret was that we didn’t spent a bit more time on…

The crew were fantastic. Meals great. Trip notes and instructions need to be improved. Double top cabins comfortable and clean.

We had a wonderful experience with excellent guides. We enjoyed the opportunity to ride through beautiful countryside and stop in charming villages for lunch and coffee breaks. Our guides offered insightful information in each of the cities we visited. The crew was hardworking and provided excellent meals and a very clean boat for us. Our only concern was that the…

Fabulous tour leaders and boat crew. They went out of their way to help. Excellent service. Lovely scenery on the rides. I’d recommend an e-bike for anyone who’s not a regular cyclist. It may be flat, but the wind is very strong. Some of the cabins (including mine) were quite damp and smelly

Had a very good time cycling from Bruges to Amsterdam, coming back to the Fluvius boat each evening. Food was excellent, as were cabins and guides. The bicycles were sturdy and panniers were supplied to carry packed lunches etc. Cycling usually finished around 3.30>4.00, tea/coffee and cake were available in the dining room. HIrdryer supplied on the room but no…

Twelve family and friends just finished the April 21 trip on the Fluvius, Amsterdam to Bruges. We all enjoyed it very much. The barge was super clean and comfortable. The chef prepared wonderful meals. The bicycling routes were very scenic, with short stops along the way for brief talks at historic sites. We felt the mileage was good: approximately 25…
