The Amsterdam to Bruge Bike & Boat Tour was one of our best vacations ever. The Manifique II’s crew & bike guides are an exceptional team that made us feel truly welcome and the experience rewarding. The small group setting of these tours was friendly and relaxing – something you don’t experience when on an ocean cruise. Every meal was outstanding and far surpassed anything we have had on an ocean cruise. I have already recommended a Boat & Bike Tour to friends and am considering another one next year.

Our boat and bike tour on the Quo Vadis was all we could have asked for: the two biking guides were experienced, knowledgeable, and fun. The staff on the boat went out of its way to meet our needs. The meals were excellent. The boat itself was clean and well designed to accommodate guests’ needs. All of this made for a week of great memories.

This was an excellent holiday on a great boat with super hosts who could not do more for you. The food was healthy and tasty, The drink prices were reasonable. The bikes were like new and the escorted tours were very interesting and we visited very beautiful parts of Holland.

Wonderfully organized tour! Loved every minute! Biking, eating, sailing the Rhone! Many thanks to a very dedicated initial reservation team and boat crew & guide.

This was the best travel experience we have ever had. We took our 12 year old daughter, 23 year old son, and met some extended family members for the Northern Tour aboard the De Holland, and it was fantastic. The bike routes were well- planned and just about the right length, with plenty of options for shorter or longer rides. The bikes were good. The food was very good, though dinner portions were definitely smaller than what most Americans are used to– but that’s good, in my opinion! Beds very comfortable, rooms air-conditioned with nice bathrooms. Pay attention to the pre-ride briefings. But the quality of the maps was excellent and the app they use for GPS locating yourself works very well, so we were never lost, though we found ourselves off the route many times– which brought some of the best experiences of the trip! A great value, overall. We loved the non-sedentary nature of this type of cruising. We will be looking for another bike/barge cruise with this company in 2021!

Holland is a wonderful country to do a biking tour. It has an amazing system of paved bike paths. The semi guided tour allowed us to see what we wanted to see and stop wherever we wanted! We also learned from our guide some of the social and cultural aspects of the Dutch society. The boat was clean, comfortable with a great staff! The food was absolutely delicious and just the right portions! I would highly recommend it! Especially the Northern tour of Holland

Beautiful boat, excellent staff/crew and tour leaders, good food and great group of fellow pax/bikers. Cabin exceeded expectations (and we were on the lower deck), and no criticisms at all.

The trip was wonderful. The boat size was perfect – not too many people. Our cabin was very comfortable. The chef, Olv, did an outstanding job with the meals. Our guide Tom was a lot of fun and did an excellent job leading our tour every day. We enjoyed meeting people from many different countries and hope to do this again soon.

Everything was wonderful. Rooms were good once the air conditioning was fixed. Nice staff. Bike routes easy to follow. Food was really good except dinner was way too long – 2 hours! Hard to make small talk with people at your table that don’t speak the same language for that long.

Fantastic crew, guides and food. I would have given 5 stars if the lower cabin where my sons resided wasn’t so humid, very hard to sleep in there, located next to laundry room.
