We were very happy with our tour. The bikes, boat, staff and food were beyond our expectations. I would definitely recommend this tour.

The BoatBike Premium Tulip Tour exceeded all my expectations. The boat and our rooms were comfortable and clean. The entire staff, the Skipper, his assistant, and the house staff were there to take care of our every need. Kudos to the Chef! The meals were creative and yummy. The bike rides, lead by our guides Paul and Corrie, were safe, fun and informative. I highly recommend BoatBike Tours.

Went on a 5 night bike and barge with some family and friends in April through Holland. The views from our bikes were gorgeous, the rooms on the ship were clean and spacious, the dinners were delicious. I would definitely go on another trip!

Our second Boat and Bike Tour. We booked this tour to celebrate our 35th wedding and 36th meeting anniversary. As we approached the Boat, we recognized Albert, our sailor from our Bruges to Amsterdam tour of September 2022, and Michael, our chef from the same tour. Our guides, Hilde and Rikko were awesome as was the rest of the crew. They made us feel special. We met people from all over and made friends with some, we hope to see again. We’ve made reservations for 2024 and can’t wait.

We loved it all pretty much. Food, great. Accommodations, great. Personnel, great. We had an 18 month old with us. We could have really used a high chair, that would have made dinner much nicer.

Boat and food were great. The guides were inexperienced. Had to turn around multiple times and did not communicate trip plans and bathroom stops.

Great guides, tasty food and comfortable berths on board all contributed to a wonderful experience cycling through this beautiful countryside.

This is exactly the tour for people who just want a quick burst of tulips and canals and cycling in the land of the bicycle. The tour guides were organized and the bikes were always ready to go and in good shape. Unfortunately no hot water for the last day or so on the boat. Also given the way people are, the guides probably should have emphasized the need for people NOT TO BUNCH UP when riding, particularly on crowded busy streets. Accidents can happen when you are too close together.

This was a fantastic trip. I loved being on the barge and having the “moving hotel” experience. It was also so cool looking out of my window and the water was 4 inches below that. The crew and staff were very helpful and accommodating. The ebikes were perfect. The food was good and diverse. Because of being on the barge, I was able to meet the other guests and really get to know them. It’s a great way to see the sights and your fellow travelers. It’s very personal. All the biking was clear to follow and a really enjoyable ride. The excursions were well planned. I would have liked a little extra time in a couple of place but that gives me an incentive to go back soon. I would highly recommend this and am even looking into their other trips.

Zwaantje – The absolute best! Both the boat and crew were phenomenal. Martyn, Karin, Yoke and Frank could not have been more friendly and made you feel so welcomed and comfortable. The meals were delicious. Biking Guides great as well! This was my first boat and bike tour and I and others that went on the April 15th Premium Tulip Tour are planning another trip on the Zwaantje again!
