- Beautiful boat
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!

Mary SturdevantJun 10th, 2023 - A Bucketlist fulfilled
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.

Cynthia LudkinJun 9th, 2023 - The trip was disappointing because&
The trip was disappointing because there were so many bikers who did not know how to use their electric bikes and those of us who were experienced bikers (using traditional bikes)were often hurt and knocked over by the bikers who were new bikers. Having only one guide didn t help either. Maybe that could have been better dividing the group into experienced bikers and the ones that weren t. Also my husband and I were put in a room under the kitchen and that was a lot of noise early morning and late at night. We could hear them walking around and banging pans etc. the food wasn t that great either. I felt like they could have provided a better choice in lunches: every day it was basically ham and cheeses with barely any vegetables to put on your sandwiches. Fruit was provided but no chips or anything else. Breakfast was ham and cheese also with some eggs and fruit and yogurt.

SallyJun 8th, 2023 - Experiencing cycling in Belgium and Netherlands.
The ship Magnifique 3 was well appointed, spacious and had excellent staff. Our daily rides usually had the option of a long or short ride, led by a competent tour guide. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had wonderful weather which was an added bonus. It was our second time with BoatBarge excursions.

William RankinJun 8th, 2023 - Experience of a Lifetime!
First of all, we were greeted in a friendly and accommodating way, all the staff were polite and so willing to please. The boat was clean and beautiful. The weather was perfect. All the other guests were so friendly, like minded, and a joy to be with. I think the combination of all these things, plus tour guides that went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience, and a Chef that was amazing, made this trip an experience of a lifetime!!! I can not thank the staff and especially the tour guides, who made our biking and special tours such a life-long memory.

Tim MargolianJun 4th, 2023 - Exceeded all expectations
This was such a great experience on our boat and bike tour from Bruges to Amsterdam. The ship was clean, well cared for and the rooms surprisingly … Roomy. The on board staff of Captain Chris, First mate Alexis, Chef Michel and do everything hands Correy and Laura was absolutely first rate and the meals were excellent. The daily biking was lead by Tom and Nina who were both excellent guides. The pace was good and we saw beautiful scenery in the countryside and a taste of the larger cities. If I could give this a six star review I would!

MLMay 30th, 2023 - Brugge Amsterdam route
This was my first time in Europe and the Boat Bike tour took me through large cities and small.villages that i would not have visited on my own. The guides were informative about the history of each area, and of the industries prominent to each area. The amenities on the boat were very nice, kept clean and geared for bike travel. The chef, Michel, made a different meal each night, and presentation was well done. Breakfast and our own made lunches worked out great as our bike rides were from 9 am to between 4 to 5 pm daily. I would have liked to have a bottle rack on the bike to allow for constant hydration.
Reply from Boat Bike ToursWe’re delighted to hear that your first time in Europe with our Boat Bike tour was such a positive experience!

Kenneth BurkeMay 30th, 2023 - Bruges to Amsterdam bike trip.
We loved everything about this trip. The staff on the Magnifique IV were friendly and welcoming. Chef Michael made the best meals. Our guides Nina and Tom made sure to show us the sights while biking. They also highlighted unusual features in the areas we stopped at. We liked supporting the local farms and cafes at our breaks.

James BurnsMay 30th, 2023 - You exceeded my high expectations.
Our trip was wonderful. Tom and Nina were great guides. Nina was on an e-bike and kept a rather fast pace for those of us on pedal bikes. Tom s pace was perfect. The food was great but the BBQ meal was a bit disappointing as some meats were rather bland and I didn t get to sample the best meats. I suspect they ran out. The crew was wonderful. You exceeded my expectations. I liked the pedal bike, but the pace in headwinds was tiring when riding with a guide who had an e-bike. The visits to farms was great. The daily paths were also great. All around this was a five star experience.
Reply from Boat Bike ToursThank you for sharing your experience with us. Your feedback is valuable, and we’ll ensure a more balanced pace in the future. We’re sorry to hear about the BBQ meal and will work on improving that aspect.Thank you for your five-star rating, and we look forward to hosting you on another amazing adventure! Best regards, Boat Bike Tours
