We had a great experience. I wasn’t sure what to expect or if this was a trip for me with all of the biking. There was a lot of biking and I was able to keep pace. My wife and I had a wonderful time and met many interesting people on the ship. The crew and tour guides were the best.

The bike guides were great. It was easy to book and boat bike tours communicated well. The boat and accommodations were nice. The food was ok. Five people on the boat got food poisoning from the risotto and felt sick for the rest of the time.

We just completed the tour from Amsterdam to Brugge. Our guides did a great job of keeping us on track while also providing history and info about the area. The boat was very well managed with friendly staff, gourmet foods and drinks. Highly recommend this company and this tour.

this was my fourth trip with Boat and Bike and, even if I was completely happy with the previous one, this was the best. I particularly enjoyed the ship (Fluvius) which is small (22 cabins and it wasn’t full) and that gave the whole services a more attentive look. I particularly liked the meals: the breakfast buffet was amazing, if something was missing the waiters were ready to supply again. The chef prepared something special every day for our packed lunch, included delicious salads! The 3-course dinner was delicious. I had the vegetarian menu and every meal was a surprise. All the people from the crew were particularly ready to satisfy our needs, and they did it always with a smile! The two tour guide, Franklin and Carla, gave us detailed information on our trail, including cosy cafès and fresh strawberry dispensing machines! They too were always ready to help with a smile. (which, for me, makes a big difference!) I think they have also to deal with a problem in our itinerary, as the boat couldn’t reach Antwerp through the planned way, and I think our new route was not as interesting as the due one. But they could suggest some plave to stop that made the route interesting.
on the whole, I am super satisfied with every single aspect of my trip; I can’t mention everything, (cabin, cleanness, bikes, informative material…) but everything was top rated!

Our Boat Bike trip through the Netherlands exceeded our expectations because of the staff, cycling, boat, scenery, food and the people we met onboard.
I would highly recommend this trip from Bruges to Amsterdam. 😊

We loved the routes that we took. We loved the flexibility and adaptability of the crew and our fellow travelers when the route needed to be changed. The accommodations were very clean and good. The food was excellent. Our hosts were wonderful with their care, their well prepared tours into towns, and their consideration for each one of us. It was nice at the end of each day to return to our own cozy room. Each day the journey was beautiful. We will spread the word to friends and look forward to your new journeys.

The people, guides, and employees on the barch.
The bikes were in good order. Nice Bosch e- bikes
Food was good too , the Chef was a real artist, presentation was beautiful.
Peter is a stand up comedian, and kept us on our toes.
Mariela and Peter were very knowledgeable.

The only negative thing was the shower, it was very slippery.
But very clean, everything was there(shampoo and soap)

We did the Cochem-Metz tour. The Princess Royal was great. Our chef made some delicious meals for dinner. However, I would like to have had more proteins for breakfast. The crew was wonderful, however, one tour guide was lacking. Ingrid, a tour guide, was full of knowledge, but her personality was a bit rough. She was quite demanding and sometimes a bit rude towards the guests. She did not seem happy when some guests wanted to cycle on their own.

We experienced a full 6 days (8 calendar days) on board of the Elizabeth clipper with bikes and e-bikes trips during the daytime.
The staff was experienced and gentle. The bike guide Paul spoke italian and was a great guide. Our cabin was on the deck and was small but ok and comfortable. I really liked the nights along the docks with the window opened.
Food was given in quantity. Breakfast was large and a variety of salted and sweet food was available. Tea, coffee, water and fruit was free H24.
Food was international, from asiatic dishes to caribbean ones and mexican and continental. We almosf are everything and we also had a bbq dinner. Sometimes as an italian I missed the semplicity of our dishes (a plain pasta with tomato sauce would have been appreciated at least once). The cook was also kind to prepare a cake for our daughter, since she has her birthady on board. Many thanks again to him.
We sailed twice. It was exciting to help the staff to rise the sails.
The bike trips were really the best part of the journey. Not touristic at all. Highly reccomended.
I really liked the stay and I hope to book a similar trip next year.

Good itinerary, good guides, good food, clean and bright boat, very small cabin
