Our trip was wonderful. Tom and Nina were great guides. Nina was on an e-bike and kept a rather fast pace for those of us on pedal bikes. Tom’s pace was perfect. The food was great but the BBQ meal was a bit disappointing as some meats were rather bland and I didn’t get to sample the best meats. I suspect they ran out. The crew was wonderful. You exceeded my expectations. I liked the pedal bike, but the pace in headwinds was tiring when riding with a guide who had an e-bike. The visits to farms was great. The daily paths were also great. All around this was a five star experience.

The ship experience was excellent, as was the crew, service and food. Day one biking 57 km was a little ambious for those who are not regular bikers. My wife is very petite and could not adjust her bike enough to make it manageable. Numerous falls on the first day resulted in a damaged wrist and shoulder. She was unable to ride after that. That was very disappointing. Having a couple of smaller framed bikes available could have prevented this sad outcome.

Accommodation was made for our large group while traveling and to help manage the booking so it fit our schedule. The trip itself was well laid out with the only drawback an unfortunate shortage of E-bikes with battery failures at the start.

From the first point of contact, the company provided prompt and helpful information. The trip and boat was exactly as advertised. The crew and guides were terrific, the food excellent, the accommodations premium! The Netherlands and Belgium are set up for bikers. This is a wonderful way to travel and visit beautiful and interesting countries.

Amsterdam to Bruges – Zwaantje The weather was not on our side but the experience was very enjoyable nevertheless. The captain and crew members were engaging and accommodating to the changing needs of the passengers. The food was tasty and plentiful. Riding through the beautiful countryside and the charming towns and villages was wonderful. Thank you for making my first bargebike experience a great one.

My husband and I had a really great 8 days on the Magnifique II biking from Bruges to Amsterdam. Each day we had a choice of long or shorter distances. Whichever we chose, we were guided safely along the extensive and amazing pathway system: through forests, peaceful countryside, along canals and beautiful towns. Time was taken each day to learn a bit about the places through which we were cycling. The food was excellent – never were we left hungry and the “barge” was very comfortable. The bonus was the rest of our fellow cyclists. We were all keen to take in as much of the culture and experience as we could on the bikes and off. With that and a very friendly professional staff, it was a great way to end our month long travels. Thanks to the entire crew of the M II.

Our tour went from Bruges to Paris onboard Fleur. It was an gear experience as we were so well treated by the Captain, the staff and the guide. They all went out of their way to accommodate us. Our chef Thimo prepared the most delicious meals. The daily rides were through some really beautiful landscapes. Our guide was professional, fun and energetic.
