The biking routes were very well planned. They had stops at interesting places along the way and we learned a lot of history about Netherlands as well as seeing some great landscape. The guides were tireless in helping everyone have solid rides and taking care of the bikes when we finished. The captain of the Fleur ran a fun but efficient ship and was well respected. The rest of the crew were very pleasant and seemed to enjoy their jobs. The chef made some fantastic meals to sustain us and there was plenty of food. We had a great time even though we are elderly, we were able to keep up. We met some fine people and maybe we’ll see them again on another trip.

The captain , crew and guides were all amazing. The Fleur is a beautiful boat with extremely comfortable cabins. The food was excellent.

Warm hospitality, friendly people, great food and beautiful sights as we travelled through the country led by knowledgeable guides! It was always a delight to see the Fleur after a day of cycling – she felt like home. We had a trip to remember! Even though the weather was challenging it was a fantastic trip from start to finish.

The barge was very clean and comfortable including my private accommodations. Our guides always responded to my needs and concerns and always reassured me when I was unsure about some of the challenges of bicycling. Our meals were delicious. Our tours were interesting and meaningful and although the weather was not the best, I had a lot of fun!

Our recent April trip onboard the Zaantje was great! Captains Martin and Marco are very experienced, kind, good natured, and competent. Chef Frank created wonderful meals. Housekeeping by Karen was perfect and her artistic napkins each dinner were beautiful. Mate Marco was very skilled. Bike guides Hattie and Jeroen were wonderful guides and lovely people. While the weather was less than optimal, the tour through The Netherlands was overall a great experience.

Our guides, Bert and Anne were great. They were knowledgeable and fun.They were flexible with adjusting bike rides because of the rainy,windy weather. We rode through beautiful countrysides and charming cities. The food cooked by Franco was superb. He expertly satisfied all the palates even those with allergies and food preferences. All our needs were taken care of by Matje, Tomec and Captain Coba.

Excellent tour leaders—wonderful routes and sites! Positive and upbeat group with great crew! Tons of laughs!

This was our second trip aboard the Zwaantje we rode through the tulip fields and were delighted with the visits to the cheese makers in Gouda The Keukenhof Tulip Garden and Hortus Bulborum (horrid-bulborum.nl)where tulip bulbs are preserved for future generations. The Flower Market was well worth the timeThis trip was in April and preparations for Dutch weather is important your rain coat will keep you dry and your e-bike will tackle the wind for you. Martin the Captain,Karin the hostess, Frank the Chef, and the guides Hetty and Jeroen made the trip made the trip very special. Thank you to Brando for all your behind the scenes support. The soon to be skipper Hugo was a delight. Thank you. traveling on a barge with 24. passengers beats a large ship cruise any day

Our 8 day trip aboard the Magnifique I far surpassed our expectations. The ship was immaculate, the food divine, the service exquisite, the bike guides knowledgeable and we can’t wait to book again. This trip gave us the opportunity to experience the beautiful countryside of The Netherlands up close and personal. Stops and sights were chosen for us to visit, where we learned about the history, the people and of course TULIPS! I highly recommend this company !

The tour was a wonderful active adventure filled with delicious views, scents, people, foods and beverages! A complete disconnect from “normal” and who doesn’t need that for a week?
