We did this ride from Amsterdam to Maastricht in unusually warm weather and did stop regularly for drink breaks. There was no drink holder on our bikes, so had to stop and extract from our supplied panniers. Our guide Francine was excellent and worked tirelessly checking routes and maintaining bikes. We also usually had walk through the town we were overnighting in after dinner when it was cooler. We were fortunately able to upgrade to e-bikes after our first day which we really appreciated. Food on board was very good and there was a small fan in the cabins but the Flora wasn’t air conditioned. Our booking process was very straightforward and boat bike tours very prompt with their responses.Nevertheless despite the heat we both enjoyed our week very much and would highly recommend this scenic trip.

Excellent crew and guides (Helene and Simone) – a wonderful experience, and a very good varied itinerary also. The boat is a piece of history. Only problem we had related to inadequate drainage from shower (cabin 13). Thanks for the memories!!

It would have been nice to be able to do more actual sailing but I do realize that is also weather dependent. The meals were great and the service and guides were top notch. The shipboard staff were very pleasant and efficient. No complaints at all. Very enjoyable and worth every penny.

Everything was perfect. The barge was magnificent, the food and hospitality was 5 star, and the crew and guides were wonderful. The bikes were brilliant and the riding was well paced. We were sad to leave.

Exceeded expectations ! Great guides, e-bikes were perfect. Loved the tulips. This was a dream trip fo rme.

All staff were friendly, helpful and seemed very happy to be there.
The boat was wonderful: comfortable and clean. A great layout for socializing. The food was the best. Very creative, healthy and delicious. Tour guides were knowledgeable, caring and fun.

The Magnifique X was an amazing boat. The cabins were so well designed and comfortable. The staff was professional and very accommodating. The Captain, Guides, and service crew made everything run so smoothly. And they were fun. The only thing that wasn’t great was the food. Putting out 4 chicken wings on a table of 7 people was odd. Taco shells with nothing to fill them with was odd. Dinners were odd. Breakfast menu items were not distributed until meal was almost over. But the picnic lunches were great. Thank you Annika for lunches and snacks on the biking trails! The van option was very helpful especially when we had rough weather. The bikes were excellent and easy to program. Thank you for all the museum stops, cheese farm and quaint villages. Thank you Magnifique X crew!

The staff was excellent. In depth explanations of what to expect on the bike rides and informative tours at the stops.
I would recommend Boat Bike Tours to anyone.

The ship was beautiful and well maintained. The food was excellent. The routes and countryside were all lovely – and the bike guides and ship’s crew took good care of us. Loved it from beginning to end!

The staff was great. The meals were okay. The rooms were small, but the bathroom was new and the beds were comfortable.

I left items in my bedroom drawer – my fault. People were cleaning to get ready for the next group. No one came out to say that items were left even though we were waiting by the boat for at least 20 minutes for our shuttle. When i got to my next destination (4 hours later) noticed my knitting and needles, book, travel crib board and cards and large bag of individually wrapped snacks were missing. Once we were able to contact the boat they said that everything was thrown out. Another customer also left belongings and was told this.

Room for improvement – a staff member could do a quick sweep of the rooms once everyone is off of the boat. This would avoid a situation like this. I am out over $50 for my special knitting set up and the item i was almost finished knitting.

EVERYTHING- especially our guides, Ivan & Lucija. Boat crew was attentive, worked very well as a team. Chefs prepared delicious, varied food, beautifully presented. Waiters were excellent. Boat extremely well-kept and clean. Rides were planned thoughtfully and safely. Wonderful information about the beautiful country.
