We went on the Magnifique II for the second time and have been on the III and IV previously. We always choose the Magnifique boats because of the excellent quality/care and friendliness of the Magnifique crew. The ownership and staff have always been amazing. This time was no different. Our guides in the past have been extremely knowledgeable of the sites and explained everything in detail. Our main tour guide on this trip seemed to be more interested in just getting to the final destination. Missed visting some of the beautiful castles/churches and seemed to not have the interest in sharing details with us or possibly didn’t know about them. The Magnifique boats are superb and we hope to go again next fall.

We started enjoying this Boat Bike tour from the moment we saw the Barge. We had a wonderful week on the Hanseatic Tour; never realised Holland was so interesting and beautiful, made all the more enjoyable by our lovey crew and guide Patrick. Food and facilities were excellent with lovely extra touches from our chef with nibbles when we arrived back from a days cycling and again after dinner in the evening. Whole crew mucked in at dinner and nothing was too much trouble for them. Will definitely book another tour.

Everything was excellent. The whole crew were first class, Friendly and fun. The food was good, the tours well thought out and guided. Fortunately the group of guests blended together and made the week a success.

Had a super time riding the Hanseatic Cities tour which was greatly helped by wonderful weather. Boat comfy, cabins quite spacious and very clean and plenty of lounging space on the top deck. The crew were quite superb, helpful, friendly and the whole experience relaxing. Our chef did a great job too. Patrick , our guide and mentor was full of interesting information about the places visited and set a fair pace when out cycling so that all the cyclists felt included. It helped that all 17 cyclists got on well and we formed into happy and friendly group. Happy to recommend this tour to anyone who wishes to enjoy some excellent but not hugely taxing cycling and getting to know this historic part of the Netherlands in more detail. Already looking at future tours.

The Hansa highlights tour was fantastic. The biking routes were amazing. I was so impressed with the multitude of biking paths, open recreation areas and natural beauty. The crew on De Holland was beyond great. They could not have done a better job. There was an issue with the boat. How it was handled was a great example of a company with class! Things happen, especially with boats, it is how it is handled that makes the difference. The app really helped us stay on the right path and was reLly appreciated. L’ubie (sp), Andre and Norman were outstanding. Thanks for such a great trip. Well worrh waiting 3 years. We are already researching our next trip.

Our bike and boat vacation on the ‘Melody’ exceeded our expectations. The crew and tour guides were professional, attentive, and very accommodating. The accommodations—from our spacious, well-appointed and comfortable cabin to the first-rate meal provisions—receive our highmarks! The icing on the cake was the camaraderie developed amongst fellow passengers. It was an interesting and fun group of people with whom to spend a week discovering the beautiful islands of Southern Dalmatia.

The entire affair went swimmingly. BBT activated a reservation I had made pre-pandemic and even remembered my e-bike request. Got a super guide, too, Tamara (Tamy). Accommodations were on a completely re-modeled, beautiful river cruiser in much better shape than all the other boats moored nearby. Days were expertly organized: bike, snack, bike, lunch, bike, beer at the barge. About 50K a day. Highly recommended, especially in the Netherlands.

This is our 3rd trip with BoatBikeTours. They were great thru the pandemic offering a refund or future trip: our choice! We chose the future trip and went to Hanseatic Tours learning about the ancient Hanseatic partnership of various countries for protection and trade alliances. Our guide was and always has been by request Tami Veneeman (or something like that). Her local knowledge is superb and if she doesn’t make up answers to questions, but researches and gets back to you timely. We learned a lot, had a super time fully guided, had a wonderful comfortable and spacious boat so didn’t have to pack and unpack daily. Breakfast and dinner were served daily, and the chef was magnificent! We also had a treat when we arrived back to the boat each day. We are truly looking forward to another trip with this company in the next year.

We travelled as a group of four Girls. This trip was beyond our expectations, We really had the most amazing trip. We couldn’t have dreamt of anything more perfect. The boat was fabulous, the food delicious and plenty of it it, the staff and organisers where absolutely amazing and very professional. Special thanks to Kristofor, Kreso,Mario & Aron you all worked so hard to make our holiday perfect, thank you so much. We really couldn’t have wished for anymore. Just one negative……..The bar bill. Wish you had listed the price of a glass of wine, it came as a big shock at the end of the week. We learnt from others when it was too late that we could have paid for a bottle and stored it in your fridge.

The experience was unique. The food exclusive and the guided tours interesting. I was very much impressed about the rooms that looked more like a 4 star hotel than cabins on a boat. Very comfortable bed, perfect shower and spacious bathroom
