The staff were friendly and worked hard to accommodate the whole group. The food was fantastic. The tour guides were receptive and tried their best to accommodate all. I was disappointed we never got a chance to say goodbye to the captain the last night of our trip.

Our Boat Bike Tour through the Netherlands and Belgium was fantastic and exceeded my expectations. The crew of the Magnifique II were professional, skilled, and accommodating, as well as being very friendly and fun. Chef Michael’s meals were delicious. Our tour guides, Els and Gabi, provided lots of information on the history and culture of the region, interjecting humorous stories and recommendations for Belgian bars and restaurants. I highly recommend the trip! The ‘floating hotel’ is a great way to visit many locations without the need to check-in and check-out at each stop, and biking is an intimate way to tour the scenic countryside and towns.

Well-organized, lovely accommodations, outstanding food, and excellent guides.

Our bike tour from Bruges to Amsterdam was excellent. The guides and staff on the boat provided top notch service – we couldn t have asked for more. The food was excellent. My husband is a picky eater and sometimes the meals were too fancy for him. I highly recommend this company.

The trip was great. The food was very good, the ship staff were wonderful and the routes were pretty. The downside was a bad experience with a guide and after a crash. One guide did not want to use radios to communicate with the sweep. This caused issues when some people near the end of our group missed a turn in the chaos coming out of Ghent. Fortunately the sweep noticed it and chased them down but had no way to notify the guide and it took some time for everyone to get back together. One of our traveling group had a bad crash and the sweep had no way to let the guide know who was a ways out front. After several minutes he finally came back and called an ambulance. The person in the crash and her husband left in the ambulance with no support from Boat Bike Tours. I had to work with the ship captain to figure out where they could try to get an Uber and meet up with the ship after the injuries were addressed. They still had trouble getting to the meet point with the ship a couple of hours later and thankfully a Dutch citizen bailed them out and drove them to the meet point the captain had given me. VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT BOAT BIKE TOURS LEFT THEM ON THEIR OWN IN A RURAL AREA IN THE NETHERLANDS. Be aware that if you have a crash you may be on your own. UPDATE: Boat Bike Tours responded to my review and indicated they will meet with the guide involved and reinforce their requirements for guides. They indicated the guide may not necessarily go with a party in the ambulance but is supposed to stay in contact with them and help the injured passenger get back to the ship. Hopefully their follow through and corrections will prevent these situations happening in the future. I also forgot to mention in the initial review that this was our fourth trip with Boat Bike Tours and the first time we have had any issues. We will be back again.

Nina and Hester were the greatest tour guides and made the biking a very fun experience. Would highly recommend BoatBikeTours for anyone wanting to see more of the country a d cycling is a fantastic way to do it. All staff were very friendly and helpful from the chef to servers.
