Staff was friendly and did a great job. Only suggestion to improve experience would be to schedule trip to allow for the 2 hour tour at the windmills.

We loved our boat & bike tour through Netherlands and Belgium! The entire crew on the Magnifique II was amazing, from the tour guides to the hosts to the sailor to the chef to the captain, everyone made us feel at home on the boat. The bikes were really easy to get used to, and the routes were absolutely beautiful. The guides kept the experience interesting with plenty of stops for water/snacks/information. It was a nice relaxed cruise (we stopped for coffee every day)! The terrain is mostly flat, but it’s very windy in the Netherlands! The weather was very unpredictable, so layers and rain gear was key. Most days we returned from our day between 2pm – 4pm, and dinner was around 6pm – 7pm. There was plenty of time to shower, relax, have a drink, and socialize before dinner. The cabins on the Magnifique II were comfortable. They were small but fine for two people. The beds were great, though more narrow than an American twin sized bed. We didn’t spend any time in our room other than to sleep. The ship was very comfortable with lots of spots to sit outside or inside. We did not feel like were in cramped quarters with the other guests. The food on the Magnifique II was wonderful. There was plenty of breakfast to fuel for the day, snacks that we could take with us, as well as a lunch we pack for ourselves. There was a lovely snack available when we returned from the day, and always coffee and tea all day. The chef introduced every dinner with pride and enthusiasm, and it was clear that he loved crafting creative meals for us. We were sad to leave this tour, and the crew, and we are already planning our next adventure with Boat Bike Tours!

The boat was absolutely beautiful and very very clean. The food delicious, fresh and obviously cooked with love for dining. The daily rides through the countryside were interesting with changes of scenery and neighborhoods. The guides stopped and pointed out historic points of interest and meaningful local lore. It’s the best way to really see the countryside with bike paths and quiet roads. Our bikes were comfortable and well maintained. We had 2 groups, for 28 riders, based on the ride length averaging 15-25 miles per day. Our average pace for the days was around 10 mph which I found a bit slow with a lot of waiting for the rear to catch up. I think 3 groups would have been better. That being said, the guide leaders were fantastic and did keep us together. I would highly recommend the trip and plan to do more in the future. It would be great to have a bike jersey from the company.

The Captain and crew were absolutely wonderful. The bike tour itself was not quite a picturesque as we expected. There were times when cycling in and around vehicular traffic was uncomfortable. The ship is fabulously maintained, clean and beautiful.
Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you found the Captain and crew wonderful and enjoyed the ship's maintenance and beauty. We appreciate your comments about the bike tour experience and will use them to improve.
