The ship Magnifique 3 was well appointed, spacious and had excellent staff. Our daily rides usually had the option of a long or short ride, led by a competent tour guide. The food was excellent and plentiful. We had wonderful weather which was an added bonus. It was our second time with BoatBarge excursions.

The crew was phenomenal. The food was incredibly good. The itinerary was excellent and the guide was wonderful

The staff were outstanding-especially Arnold and Marie Jose. The whole experience was ‘the best’ – the itinerary, the food, the ‘barge’. The details of the experience were all there to enjoy – thx

Our guide Frans was amazing. We loved that the tours were all organized and led for us.

Tour guide bike leader Frans was excellent. Nice disposition and also very informative. Laundry options were lacking. Dinners were well prepared. Hot breakfast such as oatmeal would have been nice. Perhaps earlier dinners would afford more time to explore villages in the evening. Captain and crew very good and responsive.

First of all, we were greeted in a friendly and accommodating way, all the staff were polite and so willing to please. The boat was clean and beautiful. The weather was perfect. All the other guests were so friendly, like minded, and a joy to be with. I think the combination of all these things, plus tour guides that went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience, and a Chef that was amazing, made this trip an experience of a lifetime!!! I can not thank the staff and especially the tour guides, who made our biking and special tours such a life-long memory.

– Well-organized daily program – Friendly and knowledgeable staff – Great food and bar selection – Excellent opportunity to meet like-minded and interesting people from around the world – A fun and fit way to see the countryside and towns in Belgium and The Netherlands

This was such a great experience on our boat and bike tour from Bruges to Amsterdam. The ship was clean, well cared for and the rooms surprisingly … Roomy. The on board staff of Captain Chris, First mate Alexis, Chef Michel and do everything hands Correy and Laura was absolutely first rate and the meals were excellent. The daily biking was lead by Tom and Nina who were both excellent guides. The pace was good and we saw beautiful scenery in the countryside and a taste of the larger cities. If I could give this a six star review I would!

This was my first time in Europe and the Boat Bike tour took me through large cities and small.villages that i would not have visited on my own. The guides were informative about the history of each area, and of the industries prominent to each area. The amenities on the boat were very nice, kept clean and geared for bike travel. The chef, Michel, made a different meal each night, and presentation was well done. Breakfast and our own made lunches worked out great as our bike rides were from 9 am to between 4 to 5 pm daily. I would have liked to have a bottle rack on the bike to allow for constant hydration.

We loved everything about this trip. The staff on the Magnifique IV were friendly and welcoming. Chef Michael made the best meals. Our guides Nina and Tom made sure to show us the sights while biking. They also highlighted unusual features in the areas we stopped at. We liked supporting the local farms and cafes at our breaks.
