Exploring the Netherlands by bike is a wonderful way to visit this country. What a joy it was to meet our boat at the end of a day of cycling. After a delicious dinner, drinks and socialization, we were always offered the option of a guided tour around the community where we were moored. The tour was very well organized. Our boat was clean, and accommodated a group of 19 perfectly. The crew was cheerful, friendly and always ready to help out. Our guide was very knowledgable about the areas we were visiting and went out of her way to share this information with us. Her love of her country was infectious. My only suggestion for improvement is that more attention needs to be paid to upfront bicycle maintenance. Regardless, I am already looking at Boat Bike’s future tour offerings.

We had a exceptional experience. The crew was amazing. The meals delightful. The tour leader experienced and charming. The quality of the experience cycling through the countryside and small villages – the bird song, animals, landscapes and scents – pleasantly surprised this non-cycler.

This is our sixth Boat Bike Tour. They are all different. Different boats, different guides, different scenery, different food. But all of them are very good and interesting and never boring! Would recommend it to anyone with an adventurous spirit.

Excellent experience. Francien, the tour guide was the best!! She was extremely knowledgeable about Netherlands history and eagerly shared her expertise at perfectly timed stops  when our bums needed a break or when we were ready for a coffee. The entire trip was interesting and fun.

the boat was the perfect size only 10 cabins. The captain was excellent. The Chef (Agnes) was amazing. The mate (John), and hostess (Stanislavia)(?) were excellent. All professional, friendly, and welcoming. Bikes were good, we had pedal bikes, but friends with e-bikes were happy as well.. Food was excellent. Beds were comfortable. Guide Francine was simply amazing. She knows the country well and has many stories and much information to share. Rides were good pace.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 8 day tulip tour on the Sarah. The crew was attentive to our every need and the meals from our chef Agnes were Fantastic! Our guide Hetty made each ride easy to follow and each evening walk an informative bonus. This trip on a small barge exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend it to others.

My partner and I had a wonderful trip aboard Sarah and cycling experience through the flower growing areas of the Netherlands in the early spring of 2022. The small group guided experience was great as was the group we were with. The shipboard experience was perfect from the food to the crew s hospitality. I d definitely recommend this experience to others.

A great adventure with an opportunity to discover a less touristic part of the Netherlands. I’m all for e-bikes now and not regular bikes as it makes life so much more pleasant ! A nice international atmosphere onboard too with a first-rate multilingual guide and other friendly members of the crew. The only problem was that most participants were German for this boat and bike trip and my German was far too rusty !

This was my 9th bike/barge trip with Boat Bike Tours and Eurosail. Everyone has been perfect! The Chef’s have been top notch; tour leaders very knowledgeable and accommodating; Captains are amazing in how he/she squeeze the barge through tight canals, barges very clean, Covig awareness a high priority. This last trip I did not bicycle but stayed on board the whole week and watched the world go by from the comfort of the deck. Can’t wait to go again. M. Maraggio, Cape Cod, USA

Vandaag teruggekomen van een tour Amsterdam-Maastricht. Alles was TOP! Heel lekker gefietst, ondanks het niet al te beste weer. Heerlijk gegeten. Fijne douche aan boord.

Enjoyed the barge it was well equipped & loved Lars s meals we looked forward to them every night. The tour was interesting & lovely & green

Great trip. The food was tasty, the bikes sturdy, the guide interesting and the ship clean. It was all I’d hoped for.
