Great tours. Wonderful way to explore.

Wifi was spotty and sometimes never worked in the cabin. Great staff… Among the rides, time is too limited to discover the small towns passed. It feels like you are rushed. If the rides were more flexible instead of being too long you can venture more. The price of the trip is very decent, therefore the amenities do reflect that. I enjoyed all very much. I would highly recommend it.

We had a wonderful time on this trip. The staff is very friendly, helpful and courteous. The two tour guides are so nice, they made us feel like we have known them for a long time. The food was delicious and the boat was very comfortable.

Very nice boat – clean and comfortable. The cycling time table is really full. Start from 0900 until 1600 – stop a few times for viewing, lunch etc… Delicious food, helpful & smiley staff, professional & experienced cycling guides. We are very happy and enjoy the 5 days Tulip Trip. The cost is really worth.

I took two trips – Holland and Italy All in all, it was a very good trip. BUT, you definitely should “advise” that three Adults (not family) should definitely not have more than 2 in a room as they are too small ,with 3 peoples luggage,bathroom,etc. The cuisine was excellent, and loved the Magnifique III was wonderful, except if was difficult for one of my friends to climb the stairs several times a day. but !! on the Ave Maria, we were on main deck, much better. The tour leaders, Andre’ (Holland) and Michaela and Sonya (Italy ) and the bikes were also excellent and a lot of fun !! Thank you Donna Mole

I had a wonderful time! I expected the tulips to be the highlight of my 5-day Tulip Tour on the Magnifique III, and yes, they were gorgeous, but I was continually surprised by all the other marvelous things I hadn’t expected. My suite was beyond my expectations, with a sliding glass door and an oh-so-comfortable mattress. The guides (Arie and Andre) were warm and fun, interested and interesting. The upright-style bicycle was perfect for our relaxed cruising pace. The before-dinner tour through the hidden back courtyards of Haarlem was amazing – bringing us past secret gems I would have never found on my own. When we rode through urban/suburban areas, the guides strung together a series of parks, like beads on a necklace. Being on the boat going under drawbridges (and low bridges!) was fascinating. The whole trip was stimulating and refreshing. I loved it.

Loved my trip to Holland; the Boat and Bike experience was fantastic. I’ve been telling everyone!

The food, tour leader, and staff were excellent. Highly recommend.

The boat was beautiful and staff was great. Our cabin was clean, cozy and food was good. I do think that some of the descriptions of the trip regarding the bicycling were not accurate. On our trip, more then half of the riders used the e bike. Even the leader had an e bike. We didn’t expect that and as a result although we are not strong riders, but good riders it was difficult to keep the pace. We did not have the opportunity the first day to test our bikes and the second day we were off. Because of docking reasons, we did not follow the expected itinerary. Although we had a good time I would encourage anyone even thinking about an e bike…..go for it. It would have made all the difference in our trip.

My husband and I loved the Tulip Tour Bike and Barge trip. The barge was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the wonderful meals, and we looked forward to the chef’s announcement each evening of the dinner we were about to be served! The two leaders, Andre and Arie, were outstanding! Each day was well organized, with the perfect combination of biking and sightseeing. The biking routes were scenic, with rest stops along the way at quaint cafes and villages. Safety was paramount, and I appreciated that the longer bike route was not offered when the weather turned rainy and windy. A daily briefing was held each night after dinner, and the following day’s activities were explained so there were no surprises. The rental bikes were in good working order and very comfortable for a day of riding. My husband and I were celebrating our 40th anniversary, and what a special way to celebrate! Thank you for a trip we will always remember!
