We had an amazing time on the Magnifique II Tour from Bruges to Amsterdam. Chef Edwin’s three-course meals were outstanding. The Tour guides Wendy and Jens did an excellent job showing us the sites along the tour. Captain Hylke was constantly making sure that everyone was well-taken care of. The rest of the crew, Tara, Esmee, and Thomas were always helping out in a variety of capacities. They were friendly, thoughtful, and always made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Everyone on the crew goes the extra mile. My mother had a minor accident on her bike and when Esmee found out about it she wrote her a thoughtful note and brought her some delicious chocolate. We highly recommend this tour.

We went on the Magnifique II for the second time and have been on the III and IV previously. We always choose the Magnifique boats because of the excellent quality/care and friendliness of the Magnifique crew. The ownership and staff have always been amazing. This time was no different. Our guides in the past have been extremely knowledgeable of the sites and explained everything in detail. Our main tour guide on this trip seemed to be more interested in just getting to the final destination. Missed visting some of the beautiful castles/churches and seemed to not have the interest in sharing details with us or possibly didn’t know about them. The Magnifique boats are superb and we hope to go again next fall.

The experience was unique. The food exclusive and the guided tours interesting. I was very much impressed about the rooms that looked more like a 4 star hotel than cabins on a boat. Very comfortable bed, perfect shower and spacious bathroom

Our trip was from Amsterdam to Brugge, 8 days. The crew and bike leaders were excellent – very personable and did a great job. Food was fantastic and the towns and cities we visited on the tour were inspiring. Being on a small boat, you got to know almost everybody, making it much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.

4.5 stars We enjoyed our trip on the Princess Royal. The tour guides, Arnie and Corrie, were great. The food was excellent. We lucked out on weather and only had to shorten the bike ride on 2 days by only a couple of miles. Only down side was not a lot of storage in stateroom and soft drinks not part of mealtime.

The entire experience was fantastic but special recognition should be given to the wonderful crew. Their patience and positive attitude was amazing. We were surprised at the spacious rooms and the comfortable bikes. And of course, the meals were delicious and varied- kudos to the chefs!

We recently enjoyed the Amsterdam to Bruges boat/bike trip. The trip itself was excellent. Great crew, lovely cycling along flat routes and great scenery. I would recommend this trip. However, the office staff was very difficult to communicate with. A month before our trip I decided to switch to an e-bike due to an injury. I contacted the info email and heard nothing for weeks despite repeated emails. I finally found the name of someone who worked there and got some results but I don’t think this company even looks at the info email. In addition, our trip was cancelled at the last minute due to engine failure. We were notified by email which we received as we were heading to the airport! Contacting us by phone or text message would have been better. They weren’t very useful in helping us find an alternate trip either. I found a new trip myself and luckily there was room on it.

Very fun and interesting tour. Love the small size group. Enjoyed the bicycle rides through the country and small villages.

The tour was great. The crew and the service provided were very excellent. The guided route was beautiful and scenic. The bicycle and the support were adequate. The only complaint I have was the cabin being too dark and cramped. My overall experience with boatbike tour was very positive. If the opportunity avails, I will book another tour with them.

Well organized, beautiful scenery, comfortable accommodations, friendly and interesting staff and terrific food. One person in our group described the trip as “absolutely the best trip of my life.” Would HIGHLY recommend.
