My wife and I had a wonderful week. Hugo the guide was exceptional. He had tremendous knowledge of the area weaving through small towns and vineyards. Added to this was his grasp of the historic background of the towns, castles, roman ruins, other sites we visited coupled with his knowledge of the historical figures. The food on the boat met all of our expectations, it was simply very good. This was a winner. (One additional note. There are a few relative short steep climbs on multiple days. The literature should encourage casual riders to consider an e bike to make these climbs easier.)

The biking trails in Europe are way superior to that of Canada. The scenery! Our tour guide was a bit of a history buff and the extra tid bits were intriguing. I would do another boat bike tour in a heart beat! The food was amazing. I can’t say enough good things about it.

The 4 crew members on the Lena Maria and the 2 tour guides – Patrick and Martinette were all wonderful! As an in-experienced biker, there were options to chose the shorter ride or stay on the boat. With an electric bike I was able to keep up and opted for the longer rides as I did not want to miss anything. We always knew the next day’s schedule. The crew were amazing and all worked hard. The food – oh so delicious! We were also very blessed to have air-conditioning in our cabins as the weather became extremely hot – no rain which was great!

Our room was clean, comfortable, and cool, which was vital since we were riding in temps up to 88 degrees F. Unusual heat in Netherlands and Belgium this time of year. But the chef and crew kept us supplied with fresh watermelon slices, smoothies, etc. when we returned from a ride. The meals were delicious and beautifully presented. Our guides Patrick and Martinette were excellent, navigating us safely to our destinations each day, and enriching the rides with cultural and historical information and fun experiences like the strawberry vending machine and the crazy bike museum. After only eight days, we felt like we had added some wonderful people and memories to our lives

My husband and I traveled with Boat Bike tours from Amsterdam to Bruge and we highly recommend this company. The boat was clean and comfortable and the crew was fantastic. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We saw so many wonderful sites, tried lots of great food and made many new friends. It was a wonderful adventure and we can’t wait to do another one! Thanks to everyone for creating an unforgettable holiday for us!

We were greatly thrilled to cycle through such variety of landscapes and villages/cities with our very knowledgeable guides Wil and Esther. We learned a lot about the history, architecture and infrastructure of the Netherlands. Hats of to all the other staff, the chef and Monique especially.

The crew was all exceptional, from hostess Monique, who kept all things tip-top, to Gert the chef with a great variety of good tasting foods, to our tour guides, Wil and Ester. They shared their knowledge of the areas we travels to make the journey more interesting. Seeing a different culture was very enjoyable. Our room was comfortable.

Friendly and helpful staff, good organising, food, company, weather, scenery, safe and quiet paths, everything was perfect.

Velosophie – cycle holiday was already for the second time with a groupe of 14 people on the Friesland-Tour on the Lena Maria boat. We have had a very windy week. The crew around the skipper Eelke was very efficient. So the tour was proposed they other way around, so that we could go to the island of Terschelling, which is absolutely worth to go there. Time on the boat, time on the bicycle, with at the end of the day a good meal an a good bed. Thanks a lot for this week. Monique

The fantastic crew and the well-appointed boat, the Lena Maria, made all the difference during a pretty wet week. Routes were reorganised, clothes dried, lots of litte nibbles and other touches and wonderful food.
