Best week ever!

I absolutely loved my time on the Maastricht-Amsterdam boat bike tour on the Gandalf boat. The Gandalf accommodates a small group of 20 which was the perfect amount in my opinion. All 20 of us got close over the week, and I know I made some long lasting friendships! The Gandalf boat does not have air conditioning though, so if you are sensitive to that, book one of the larger boats. However, I couldn’t recommend the Gandalf enough. The staff were all amazing: so funny, so helpful, and so friendly. The vibe of the boat was casual and we even became friends with the Gandalf crew as well. Captain Hans is an absolute gem! Our bike guides Michiel and Linda were so knowledgeable. They showed us their Dutch culture in many ways: a Dutch treat tasting, pointing out idiosyncrasies of their society that were exemplified across our route, they knew shortcuts for when the weather turned for the worse, and scenic routes for us to enjoy our ride a little further. The food was amazing, and made me love Dutch food…something I’d never tried before! The bike rides were beautiful and not too difficult. The Netherlands is very flat! I couldn’t recommend this tour more.
