This was my third trip with BoatBikeTours. This trip was the best yet. The food was simply outstanding, and the whole crew/team was incredibly top notch and went above and Beyond to make the trip special. Book it!!

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.

Fun trip- the guides did a very nice job! One thing- for last min changes- best to have that recorded exactly in GPS and on map. Also, hard to download GPS app on boat- that could be improved. Food was disappointing. Could have had more variety (not just eggs) for breakfast and also maybe more fresh salad- veggies for dinner. The boat messed up our reservation and gave us a room different than what we booked (beds together rather then separated, and part of room cut off due to location). We had to pay cash 100 euros to upgrade to suite. We were charged incorrectly for two cabins rather than one. I only found that out talking to another passenger. Once the issue to brought to your attention it was corrected quickly. Thx! Generally the trip was good and I would recommend and go on another trip.

The crew of the Zwantje were FANTASTIC! The captain runs a very smooth ship. The chef- Monsieur Frank was excellent! Attention to details and the needs of the crew are always a priority. Our guides, Tamera and Erna were really great! The only feedback I have for the boat is that the sheets and pillow cases need to be updated. But overall, it was an incredible experience!

It was an excellent tour, good bike, good food, excellent guides and accommodation

The trip overall was a great experience. I have a suggestion for going forward. If possible try to have everyone speak the same language. Our guide and staff had to say everything twice because of the language issue. It also made table conversation impossible until we separated everyone by language. Our room only had half its electric outlets working. The captain said he wasn’t able to fix it. This type of problem could have been fixed when we were gone for 9 hours a day. The food was good and plentiful. No one left the table hungry. The self serve bar had an ample variety beer and wine. The staff were friendly and very helpful. There was a lot of biking; perhaps more than I expected. I was lucky I elected to get an ebike. There were time especially when the wind was howling on the nose that I was grateful I had pedal assist. The staterooms are functional. This is glamping. The rooms get hot and needed a fan which was supplied. I’ll never understand why the Europeans don’t supply sheets and a blanket for the beds. in that way you can layer your covers when you sleep. Instead all you get is quilt like covering that has two sheets and a filler between them. I asked and got the sheet thing with out the filler. Otherwise like the other guests we would sweat all night.

As usual a wonderful tour. My husband and myself participated in our 7th Boat & Bike tour in July cycling around the Heart of Holland. As usual it was a wonderful experience. We live in Ireland and apart from the Covid close down, we have enjoyed a Boat & Bike tour every year. This year was particularly agreeable because the meals on the Flora ship were exceptional to say the least. Eventhough we have done the Mozelle tour afew years ago, we intend returning next year to do it, simply because, it is the route that the Flora ship is doing. So, to conclude I am giving the highest recommendation to Boat & Bike and the Flora ship by returning as a satisfied customer.

All was good. Our guide was not efficient at making sure all the cyclist were present before giving us a talk about local sites. Also there were times when we cycled against traffic on a very narrow street. I had a close encounter when a car clipped my handle bars. We all should have been walking on that particular narrow street. Other than that he was very attentive at meeting our needs.

Great bike tours. Highly recommend an ebike. Interesting sites. Good tour guide. Food on board by chef Irene was spectacular! She deserves 10 stars. The boat was very comfortable and clean. The cabins small but totally functional. The A/C in the cabins and the dining room/lounge was fine. A welcome respite from the extreme heat of Provence in July.

The trip was magnificent from start to finish. The scenery was gorgeous, the guides and crew were outstanding and the other passengers were terrific. I was a bit intimidated by the idea of hilly countryside but was able to manage it without an electric bike.
