From the moment I stepped on the boat, I felt the team was there to ensure we all had a great experience. The sites and activities were perfect for a 5 day bike/boat experience.

From start to finish this is a Class A operation. The staff were excellent and did their jobs well They were polite and accommodating. The chef did an excellent job with preparation and delivery of meals. The bikes were well looked after and ready every morning. The hostesses were caring and very efficient. The guides were very attentive to detail and accommodated everyone regardless of age. We had a wide age category and they took that into account on each day.

Andre and Corrie, your tour guides, set the tone with their warm welcome, and Jolien, your hostess, was especially attentive to your needs and requests. It's great to know that Michael, Thomas, and Gerard also did an excellent job in ensuring a fantastic trip. The fact that you mentioned the conversion from barge to luxury liner indicates that the boat was top-notch and provided you with a high level of comfort and luxury. Being served while in a jacuzzi must have been a unique and indulgent experience!

The entire team was bright spirited, thoughtfully anticipating every need and gracious. I felt the bike routes and distances, including options, had been carefully planned and accommodated various physical abilities of the riders.

We did the bike and barge trip this spring and absolutely loved it. The boat is beautiful and very comfortable accommodations. Our guides Corrie and Andre were attentive to all the guests needs and provided us an amazing bike riding experience. The chef made creative and delicious meals which was a delight for all of us. We especially enjoyed the afternoon treats after our daily rides! Captain Michael and his crew provided a relaxed environment of safety and comfort making our experience very memorable. The crew worked together like a family and always with a smile on their faces. Loved it! Thank you to all for making this tour the highlight of our trip. Oh ya, and lastly the flowers of course did not disappoint and the mojitos creation was an unexpected delight! Highly recommend this experience to all!

We loved our bike and barge trip. Food, crew, cabin , bike and experience were amazing. I’m recommending it to everyone. My only complaint was it rained one afternoon and crew even made sure the customer’s shoes got dried!! ‍♂️ I want to do another one.

We just did the 5-day tulip Bike and Barge Tour in the Netherlands and it was an AMAZING experience. We are in our early 40s and rented the standard bikes…I would recommend if you’re really fit and are used to biking long distances you’ll be ok but honestly I would probably get the e-bikes next time (almost everyone at this tour had them so you gotta be able to keep up with e-bikes too)…but regardless the bikes are really comfortable! I would highly recommend the Manifique IV…it’s newly renovated, the pictures shown on the website are very accurate. The rooms are a good size, shower worked perfect, which was really nice after a long bike day. The entire barge is gorgeous, with ample seating, really nice bar and the jacuzzi on the top is amazing! The staff was fabulous the food was excellent…you seriously can’t go wrong with this trip. Highly recommend it!

We were aboard the Fluvius April 3 -7. It is a warm, comfortable, intimate environment compared to the other , bigger, newer boats. We were not a completely full house which made it better to speak to almost everyone. The bikes were in good working order and pleasant to ride. The guides were nice and told us some info along the routes. The food was a very nice three course dinner everyday. Breakfast buffet area is a bit cramped but has good food options and you make your lunch to take for biking. We had an upper double room (104) which is obviously small but very comfortable. Only slight negative would be that the person on the other side has to crawl over the other to-get up to go to the bathroom at night. Mattress was very comfortable and the bathroom was larger than I expected it would be. I wish our tour was longer, I didn’t want to leave!

Hi Katrina, It sounds like you had a wonderful time on the Fluvius and enjoyed the intimate atmosphere of the boat. It's great to hear that the bikes were in good condition and that the guides were informative during the rides. The three-course dinners and breakfast buffet also seem to have been a hit with you. Your comments on the upper double room you stayed in are helpful for future travelers to know. Despite the small size, it's great to hear that it was comfortable and that the mattress was nice. It's always a great sign when a trip leaves you wanting more, and it seems like this was the case for you. Hopefully, you'll be able to plan another trip soon! Warm regards, Romy
