Bruges to Amsterdam 8-day, 7-night Bike&Boat Tour

We participated in an 8-day, 7-night bike&boat tour from Bruges to Amsterdam. We live in Brookline, USA and for us, it was a second European bike tour and we give this tour an all-star rating. * The Tour The tour design was excellent and the scenery was breathtaking. We cycled through many picturesque roads, villages, and towns each day. * The Guides Gijsbert Valstar and Mijntje (MaryAnne) Janssen Steenberg provided excellent care, planning, instructing, and guidance throughout the tour. * The Boat, Crew, and Food We liked everything related to the boat (Magnifique) accommodation. The cabin was comfortable, clean, and large enough for two people and four large pieces of luggage, which we had. The dining room large and comfortable for meals, meetings, and resting. The captain and stewards were very friendly and helpful. The food for breakfasts and lunches was abundant, fresh, tasty, nutritious and varied from day to day. The dinner menu was exquisite, exciting, and tasty. * The Group We enjoyed the company of the very international group of 30 people, ages 59-74, from 4 countries: Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the USA. While we were pedaling regular bikes, many others, if not most, used e-bikes and were pretty happy with the latter. The tour operator provided bikes, batteries, helmets, and bike side bags. The bikes and side bags were very comfortable, and the batteries were easy to use and provided adequate power, based on the feedback we heard from the group members who used them.
