Our July trip on the Magnifique III Bruges to Amsterdam was superb. The cycling was very doable even for this 70 year old. Our guides were attentive and knowledgeable. The service on board our barge was “world class” with outstanding meals. Biking through rural areas was peaceful and beautiful, the towns & cities visited were architectural/historical wonders. I highly recommend Boat/Bike tours.
Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted that you enjoyed our tour. Hopefully, we can welcome you on board again soon. Best wishes, Boat Bike Tours.

My expectations were exactly as I had imagined. A warm, helpful, genuinely friendly, capable staff. A clean comfortable, beautiful barge. Meals that were satisfying and well presented. The bikes were in perfect condition and the weather and tour perfection! I miss it already and I hope to get to experience it all again. Gloria from USA

Our experience on the FIEP exceeded our expectations. Everyone, from the captain, sailor, cook, host and guides, was wonderful–welcoming, excellent at what they did, fun loving–just made it an outstanding experience for us. The biking was the perfect challenge, the group was supportive, Belgium and the Netherlands are beautiful beyond description, from the cities, to the forests, to the neighborhoods we cycled through. We will be back.
Thank you really much for this wonderful review! We are really happy that you enjoyed our tour so much! We are looking forward to welcoming you on board again soon! Best wishes, Boat Bike Tours

great staff and guides, just an overall wonderful experience. Loved the concept of day time biking and staying on a boat overnight – no need to pack up and change hotels!
Dear Juergen Eisermann, thanks really much for this nice review! We are happy to hear that you enjoyed our tour. Hopefully we can welcome you on board again soon! All the best, Boat Bike Tours

Pros: Fantastic Food, very comfortable rooms, great locations and very knowledgeable guide “Marcel”. Cons: Only one guide for 23 riders promised 2. One paying guest had to do this role, too many rigid dining rules as to sitting etc, no stopping for photos when riding.
Hi Kim, Thank you for your feedback on the Premium Amsterdam to Bruges - Barge Bike tour. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the fantastic food, comfortable rooms, great locations, and found the guide, Marcel, to be knowledgeable. We apologize for the shortage of guides during your trip, which resulted in only one guide instead of the promised two.

We will review these rules to ensure a more flexible and enjoyable dining experience for our guests. We understand your desire for photo stops during the rides, and we apologize if this was not adequately accommodated during your tour. We will consider this feedback to improve our tour experience.

This is my third trip with Boat Bike Tours, and all have been exemplary. On this most-recent trip, all went well. Every member of the staff were wonderful, the captain, first mate, chef, housekeeper, and guide. The barge was fine and th cuisine was excellent. The rooms were clean and well kept. Because I am an experienced cyclist, I prefer to self-guide using Ride With GPS, which worked just fine. Using the Ship Finder app allowed me to track the barge and meet it easily.

I will talk about the trip itself and the very careful care the crew takes to make our experience over and above our expectation. The crew of 5 gets introduced and right away, you realize you can ask any of them for information. Elke the captain, Monique the hostess, everyone was wonderful. They really helped create a personal experience for each. The towns and countryside we biked through, just gorgeous. Our guide Marcel would stop at pertinent monuments and towns to augment our understanding of history and the importance of certain towns. The travel through historically wonderful small towns is juxtaposed to the larger cities of Antwerp Ghent and Bruges. And countryside, flowers, farms, canals wind mills in between. And whenever someone on the trip needed extra care, they were immediate in their responses. I would be remiss not to mention the gastronomic gourmet meals Chef prepared. Unbelievable.
Thank you for your amazing review! We're thrilled that the crew provided careful care and exceeded your expectations, making your experience truly exceptional. We're glad that Marcel, our guide, enriched your understanding of history through stops at pertinent monuments and towns. Lastly, we're delighted to hear that our chef prepared unbelievable gastronomic gourmet meals. Thank you for choosing us, and we can't wait to welcome you back for more extraordinary experiences! Warm regards, Julia from Boat Bike Tours

Beautiful boat, comfortable room/bed/bath, attentive staff and bike leaders. The food was delicious, and mealtimes were enjoyable. The bikes we rode were comfortable, easy to operate, very little maintenance issues along the way. My only “suggestion” would be when a large number of people choose one route, it would be nice, especially when biking towns/villages/cities, to have a person in the middle of the group to make sure we don’t get lost and can learn to navigate the city streets with assurance!
Thank you for your lovely review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience on our beautiful boat and found the accommodations comfortable. Furthermore, we're thrilled that you found the food delicious and mealtimes enjoyable. It's great to hear that the bikes provided were comfortable and easy to operate, with minimal maintenance issues along the way. Thank you for your support and valuable feedback. We look forward to welcoming you back on board for more memorable adventures! Warm regards, Julia from Boat Bike Tours

A key component in making the trip as great as it was is the staff. Each one was as help, personable and pleasant as possible.the bikes were very good, the trails lovely ( could do with staying out of city traffic). The boat and rooms were perfect. And the food top notch. We were short one bike guide, as a result we all rode longer routes. My only complaint.
