Exceptional experience, helpful crew,exiting holiday+activity combination

Trip of a Lifetime! From the moment you walk on the ship until you leave, the staff treats you like you are the only passenger. They are friendly, accommodating and very gracious. The food was excellent. The accommodations were not only beautiful, but pristine. The bicycle trips were the best of the best. We had so much fun. We will definitely be taking another boat and bike tour with this company! Donald Keever

Fantastic staff, wonderful food, beautiful scenery, good camaraderie amongst fellow travellers.

The food did not meet the expectations set by the first two cruises I took this year.

Great experience and would do it again. The only minor complaint I have is with the bicycle maintenance. That could improve.

We had a wonderful time exploring Northern Holland on De Willemstad. The routes planned gave a good sampling of both large towns and countryside. The cycling crew were fantastic and their evening briefs on the next day’s excursion were very informative. The ship’s crew was professional, friendly and helpful. Accommodations were great as was food. The only thing I see that could use improvement is communication to passengers when a change in plans has been made because of weather. Rather than an announcement on a public address system, staff stepped into the dining room or salon to let people know. If you didn’t happen to be in one of those rooms, you were left uninformed about the upcoming changes. A public address would be much more efficient. That aside, everything was fantastic!

A great way to experience the Dutch countryside and cities as well as the culture. The bike courses were well marked. The guides were seen on the course often and were very helpful before and during rides. The food was excellent.

We totally enjoyed our bike and barge trip. The staff was great. The tour guides helped us when we needed a bike repair, when the ship staff couldn’t fix the problem. The food was excellent and accommodations were good. The gps was good as long as the tours were not changed. We did get lost a few times but found our way back no problem. Would recommend to everyone.

All the crew members onboard were helpful and went out of their way to accommodate us. Five stars to them. The only thing that was disturbing was the bad smell inside the barge when there were choppy waters. But over all the experience was wonderful and we will like to take another boat and bike tour in the future.

Just completed the North Holland Tour on De Willemstad. Suite cabin was spacious and well maintained. All the crew onboard were friendly, obliging and helpful. Peter and Pete our guides did an excellent job in challenging circumstances, having to change tour itineraries at the last minute due to circumstances beyond their control. The food was acceptable, not gourmet dining but perfectly adequate for mass catering. We would have preferred a later dining time than 6pm as the days are full on if you take the longer routes. I switched to an e bike after day 2 as I found it challenging cycling in the strong winds, however my husband who is a keen cyclist had no such problem! All in all a very good experience.
