Our family of 5 just completed a week long cycling tour from Amsterdam to Bruges, Belgium with Boat Bike Tours, and we had an outstanding experience. Staff was very professional & accommodating, food was excellent, and the ship we sailed on was beautiful. Would highly recommend.

We had an awesome time. Gerard, the chef’s, cuisine was better than any other river cruise we’ve taken, and there have been some expensive ones! We got a little tired of the sandwich variety for lunch. Perhaps different bread or panini? Guides were great. I loved the bike app. We took off on our own and never got lost. I swear by it! Will definitely be doing another trip like this again.

A great way to see The Netherlands and Belgium. The guides were excellent. Peter’s impromptu tours along the ride were great and informative. Hester’s oboe concert was an unexpected bonus. the food was excellent as well. Sleeping on the boat was great. Would highly recommend the tour to all who seek a little bit of adventure.

A great trip. Wonderful food, guides, and beautiful cycling! I highly recommend.

We had a fantastic week riding from Amsterdam to Brugge in early June. Our tour guides Hans and Bert guided us through the beautiful countryside in Netherlands and Belgium. The Magnifique IV was a beautiful boat, much nicer than the website shows. The staff worked tirelessly to accommodate all our needs. Dinners were varied and yummy. I used an ebike which made the biking on mostly flat paths enjoyable. The week was beyond our expectations and highly recommend if you enjoy an active holiday.

Well planned and executed trip. The thoughtful touches of all staff were very much appreciated. A special mention to the one we spent most time with, namely Hans – he is a brilliant tour guide and worth his weight in gold! My sincere thanks to all.

We both enjoyed our Boat Bike Tour on Magnifique IV very much. It probably helped that we had fantastic weather May 12-19 but there were many things we liked. Our room was comfortable, including beds and pillows. The food was excellent and ample. The shared coffee machines worked great. Staff were all very friendly and helpful, including our guides. The bikes were sturdy and worked well. Routes seemed to be well-planned for scenery and points of interest. Each of our daily rides was interesting. They were just long enough and included as many stops as we cared for. I opted for the “long” ride each day but there really was seldom much difference. At 69 and 70 years old but pretty active bikers we wondered how well our fellow passenger/bikers would do. Would it be too fast or too slow? No. We were neither the youngest nor oldest but fit right in and everyone did quite well. We wondered about how we’d do mingling with others. Everyone got along well and the trip was great fun!

We recently enjoyed the Amsterdam to Bruges boat/bike trip. The trip itself was excellent. Great crew, lovely cycling along flat routes and great scenery. I would recommend this trip. However, the office staff was very difficult to communicate with. A month before our trip I decided to switch to an e-bike due to an injury. I contacted the info email and heard nothing for weeks despite repeated emails. I finally found the name of someone who worked there and got some results but I don’t think this company even looks at the info email. In addition, our trip was cancelled at the last minute due to engine failure. We were notified by email which we received as we were heading to the airport! Contacting us by phone or text message would have been better. They weren’t very useful in helping us find an alternate trip either. I found a new trip myself and luckily there was room on it.

Very fun and interesting tour. Love the small size group. Enjoyed the bicycle rides through the country and small villages.

The entire experience exceeded my expectations! The rooms were spacious and clean. The staff was exceptional — professional, helpful, hard working, and friendly. Food was excellent.
