Our trip was wonderful. Tom and Nina were great guides. Nina was on an e-bike and kept a rather fast pace for those of us on pedal bikes. Tom’s pace was perfect. The food was great but the BBQ meal was a bit disappointing as some meats were rather bland and I didn’t get to sample the best meats. I suspect they ran out. The crew was wonderful. You exceeded my expectations. I liked the pedal bike, but the pace in headwinds was tiring when riding with a guide who had an e-bike. The visits to farms was great. The daily paths were also great. All around this was a five star experience.

The ship experience was excellent, as was the crew, service and food. Day one biking 57 km was a little ambious for those who are not regular bikers. My wife is very petite and could not adjust her bike enough to make it manageable. Numerous falls on the first day resulted in a damaged wrist and shoulder. She was unable to ride after that. That was very disappointing. Having a couple of smaller framed bikes available could have prevented this sad outcome.

Outstanding customer service, food, accommodations and itineraries. This was a great trip!

From the first point of contact, the company provided prompt and helpful information. The trip and boat was exactly as advertised. The crew and guides were terrific, the food excellent, the accommodations premium! The Netherlands and Belgium are set up for bikers. This is a wonderful way to travel and visit beautiful and interesting countries.

Amsterdam to Bruges – Zwaantje The weather was not on our side but the experience was very enjoyable nevertheless. The captain and crew members were engaging and accommodating to the changing needs of the passengers. The food was tasty and plentiful. Riding through the beautiful countryside and the charming towns and villages was wonderful. Thank you for making my first bargebike experience a great one.

My husband and I had a really great 8 days on the Magnifique II biking from Bruges to Amsterdam. Each day we had a choice of long or shorter distances. Whichever we chose, we were guided safely along the extensive and amazing pathway system: through forests, peaceful countryside, along canals and beautiful towns. Time was taken each day to learn a bit about the places through which we were cycling. The food was excellent – never were we left hungry and the “barge” was very comfortable. The bonus was the rest of our fellow cyclists. We were all keen to take in as much of the culture and experience as we could on the bikes and off. With that and a very friendly professional staff, it was a great way to end our month long travels. Thanks to the entire crew of the M II.

We loved everything about our trip- The boat and staff, the delicious food Tina prepared for us every day, our tour leaders, Hester and Angela, the wonderful people we met on board, and the beautiful scenery on our rides! I cannot recommend this trip more highly! I am already dreaming about my next BoatBikeTour.

The Magnifique III is a very well appointed boat for its size and passenger count. The crew was terrific in every aspect, friendly, accommodating and proficient. The food was excellent.

Wonderful trip! The boat was in tip-top condition, well-appointed, and very clean. The staff were warm, welcoming, professional, fun and always available to help. The meals were delicious and I was fortunate to have a chef who went out of her way to cater to my gluten-free diet. The knowledgeable tour guides and tour destinations were educational, diverse and enjoyable. We loved this trip!!

Fabulous experience! Tour guides, chef Tina, servers and captain were the best. Cycling distance options were helpful. Food was 5star. Accommodations were small but comfortable, well laid out and clean. The group we travelled with made it even nicer!
