IJselmeer tour Super sailing, charming cycling, fabulous food, chummy company, comfrey cabins, excellent explanations, splendid ship. Altogether an amazing fantastic holiday!!! Thank you

Excellent week with excellent crew and guides . They worked so hard for us . My 2 suggestions would be large pedestal fans in dining area ( it was so very hot ) and more attention to having tons of cold water available upon returning back from riding .

With my wife I have just enjoyed a very pleasant 15 day trip from Bruges to Paris on the Zwaantje – all the crew and guides were very friendly and helpful. Both on the boat and during the rides and site visits – everything worked well on the boat. And when it did not the problem was quickly fixed. (Our preference for a twin vs a double cabin somehow didn’t get communicated to the boat. But it was able to be solved with the active help of the staff). – everything went well on the bikes. And when an occasional problem like a flat tyre occurred the ride guide was able to quickly fix the problem. And when some planned stops during the ride were unable to occur (eg a previously used brasserie was closed, a minor museum’s open days had changed) then the guides were able to find alternate stops – our special needs were meet very well during the entire trip. A special diet (gluten free) for my wife. Support for me bringing and using my own special bike (a recumbent trike: Greenspeed Magnum XL)

We loved our Boatbike trip!! We did both the southern and Northern holland trips and each was wonderful!! Scenery, bikes, food, cabin, organization, guides, all excellent! Best vacation!!!!! Special mention to the dining room staff who made every dinner a 4 star experience!!!

An excellent holiday. Very enjoyable. Very good cycling. We cycled independently and at times felt we didn’t receive all the information we should have, as all the other English speaking guests cycled with a guide. Breakfast was excellent. Evening meals could have been bigger portions.

Very friendly and courteous service. Excellent food and clean rooms

We had a great trip, the boat staff and facilities were exceptional. They had to make some changes on the fly as water levels were low and there were high temperatures so original bike options needed to be modified. Staff adjusted to make the trip interesting. The food was amazing and offered me the vegetarian options that I requested.

Very nice trip, great guides. The only complaint that I have is that some more time should be set aside for touring at least some of the towns we went through, for shopping, cafes, etc…

Our experience with Boat Bike Tours was even better than imagined and something we hope to have the pleasure of enjoying again, someday. The crew and guides add value to the experience and everything was comfortable, fun, and worthwhile.

A wonderful well organised holiday.
