This was our second trip aboard the Zwaantje we rode through the tulip fields and were delighted with the visits to the cheese makers in Gouda The Keukenhof Tulip Garden and Hortus Bulborum (horrid-bulborum.nl)where tulip bulbs are preserved for future generations. The Flower Market was well worth the timeThis trip was in April and preparations for Dutch weather is important your rain coat will keep you dry and your e-bike will tackle the wind for you. Martin the Captain,Karin the hostess, Frank the Chef, and the guides Hetty and Jeroen made the trip made the trip very special. Thank you to Brando for all your behind the scenes support. The soon to be skipper Hugo was a delight. Thank you. traveling on a barge with 24. passengers beats a large ship cruise any day

Our 8 day trip aboard the Magnifique I far surpassed our expectations. The ship was immaculate, the food divine, the service exquisite, the bike guides knowledgeable and we can’t wait to book again. This trip gave us the opportunity to experience the beautiful countryside of The Netherlands up close and personal. Stops and sights were chosen for us to visit, where we learned about the history, the people and of course TULIPS! I highly recommend this company !

The tour was a wonderful active adventure filled with delicious views, scents, people, foods and beverages! A complete disconnect from “normal” and who doesn’t need that for a week?

Fabulous bike tour with an experienced and knowledgeable leader. Delicious breakfast, lunch and dinners by the chef who always delivers a short presentation on what the food was and how it relates to The Netherlands.

Super durchorganisiert, kompetente und nette Reiseleitung. Das Schiff gemütlich, das Essen sehr lecker. Wir fühlten uns wie in einer grossen, liebenswerten Familie. Die Radtouren waren mit interessanten Stops durchsetzt, es wurde nicht langweilig. Die abendlichen Stadtspaziergänge mit der Reiseleitung waren ein tolles Extra.

Superb guides and crew who worked together to make sure everyone could have their very best time. The boat was extremely well equipped with a comfortable lounge, lovely hot showers and a well stocked bar. The food was excellent and abundant and food preferences were taken fully into consideration. My vegetarian options being as delicious as the other options. Providing a lunch box each morning for us to make our own packed lunch from the breakfast buffet, and bar snacks for our post cycle return to the boat meant nobody had to go hungry. Everything was super clean. The trips and interspersed refreshment stops were well thought out and meant that inexperienced cyclists like me were not daunted by the distances. The evening city tours were interesting and the guides were knowledgeable and eager to tell us about their country. Flexibility was the key word for the week and when the weather was too windy to cycle or bridges stopped us going where we needed to the guides were quick to replan. This meant we enjoyed watching a cheese auction in addition to the planned excursions. I cannot speak more highly of my experience and have sent the details to many of my work mates. One piece of advice, if you have to ask yourself “Can I do this on a normal bike or would an e-bike be better?” …then hire an e-bike, the wind can be strong and a flat ride can feel like going up a hill on occasions.
Dear Angela, Thank you for the nice review! We are glad to hear that you had fuch a superb experience with us. Ensuring our guests have their very best time is always our goal, so we're delighted that our guides and crew worked together seamlessly to make that happen for you. We are happyto hear that you enjoyed the excellent and abundant food, and we're delighted that your vegetarian options were as delicious as the other options. It's important to us that all dietary preferences are fully taken into consideration. Thanks for sharing your positive feedback! Your advice about hiring an e-bike is certainly valuable, and we're sure it will be helpful for future travelers. We would be happy to welcome you on board again! Best regards, Boat Bike Tours

The 8-day Tulip Premium trip on the Fleur was a wonderful blend of biking, cultural foods and adventures, and beautiful communities and countrysides. Every aspect was well thought out, and all staff were pleasant and super accommodating to our fellow travelers making this trip top-notch. Our guides, Edith and Michiel, were fantastic – they went way beyond my expectations. This would be one trip I would definitely repeat and do highly recommend for all. Even though the biking is easy, all levels of riders can enjoy it since there is so much to see and do.
