Enjoyed our trip on the Fleur in September 2025. Chef Steffie provided wonderful dinners. The e-bikes allowed folks at various fitness levels to complete 24- to 40-mile rides (our choice) daily. Low water levels meant we didn’t get to tour all of the towns on the schedule, but the tour guides, Monique and Desiree, were wonderfully creative, and we got to know some areas better than we otherwise would have. Quarters were a bit cramped, but that was to be expected. When sharing notes with others on the trip, we found we had a common complaint — the company only communicated with one person in each party. Communications need to be shared with all members of the party. All in all, I had a good time and have fond memories of this experience.

Fabulous tour meandering through villages and canals under the exceptional care of the Fleur and boat bike tour guide Frans. The meals provided on board were designed by the chef for the regions through which we were travelling, tailored for their history, so very good. We were provided lots of breakfast choices and a fabulous coffee machine! The e-bikes were easy to use and adjusted to suit (I’m only 5’!) most paths and roads were easy going, and very enjoyable way to see this lovely part of the world – although being from regional Australia I sometimes found the traffic daunting in the bigger cities – however Frans guided us through safely & on the quietest paths. High recommend

We spent two weeks on the Fleur and had a wonderful time. Our guides, Désirée and Ronald, were excellent. The ship was clean, meals were fabulous (including vegetarian meals) and the crew was friendly and efficient. One of our best holidays ever.

Every part of this tour was so well organized. Bikes were in excellent condition and the routes were spectacular. Our guide were exceptional. We also had a lot of additional experiences like a canal tour in Amsterdam and cheese tasting at a local farm. Food on the boat was superb and there were always snacks, tea and coffee available any time. Rooms were very comfortable and with nice hot showers which were needed after a long day biking. The bike pace was good for a large group and lots of breaks and photo opportunities.

Amazing tour. Beautiful small barge with a wonderful crew. The tour itself was fantastic – the route was beautiful and the stops along the way were so interesting. We used regular bikes – no hills at all. If you are considering this tour – book it! We are already planning to do another tour next year. Fantastic experience.

Wonderful trip! Chilly but great!

Great team of guides and crew–caring, professional, fun. Delicious meals. I will strongly recommend Boat Bike Tours.

Such a fantastic and well-run excursion that we just signed up with Boat and Bike for another tour next fall! Everything met or exceeded expectations. This is a quality organization that cares about its’ clients.

Just finished my second boatbike tour on the Fleur & it was fantastic! Just the right size boat and flexible rides & impressive chef! Great guides. Can’t wait to schedule next year! I’ve done the Paris to Montigue and Brugge to Amsterdam.

I particularly disliked the very frequent breaking of traffic rules. There was a basic disregard for stop signs, red lights. Also, guides were somewhat disorganized and frequently uncertain about the routes and sites. Perhaps their first time for this particular tour??
