Our tour went from Bruges to Paris onboard Fleur. It was an gear experience as we were so well treated by the Captain, the staff and the guide. They all went out of their way to accommodate us. Our chef Thimo prepared the most delicious meals. The daily rides were through some really beautiful landscapes. Our guide was professional, fun and energetic.

The 8-day Tulip Premium trip on the Fleur was a wonderful blend of biking, cultural foods and adventures, and beautiful communities and countrysides. Every aspect was well thought out, and all staff were pleasant and super accommodating to our fellow travelers making this trip top-notch. Our guides, Edith and Michiel, were fantastic – they went way beyond my expectations. This would be one trip I would definitely repeat and do highly recommend for all. Even though the biking is easy, all levels of riders can enjoy it since there is so much to see and do.

A fantastic trip with Fleur, where you can see Holland from all sides and wonderful to cycle along the canals and enjoy nature and wildlife. Good guide, good bikes and good stay on board. Good food but could wish for more vegetables. Definitely a trip I would recommend.

Since the weather couldn’t be changed I’m glad we could ride the bike in all kinds of weather. It was nice small group and we could learn everyone’s name. Sometimes I thought the guide was going to fast then realized we needed to keep a reasonable rate of speed or we would never finish. Also the chef was considerate of everyones food needs.

Super-great hosts, both on the boat and guiding the daily bike tours.

The crew of Fleur were such gracious hosts! They were very attentive and accommodating, especially for my dietary restrictions. Chef Timo was very knowledgeable, which I found very comforting. The rides were very enjoyable, the tulips were stunning, and the stops were engaging and educational. Our guides were top notch, knowledgeable, attentive, and friendly.

Our Tulip Premium tour was the trip of a lifetime! Although my wife did not cycle she enjoyed riding along on the rivers and canals. Martin, the crew hand was very kind to her and attended to her needs, like playing her favourite music. As an avid cyclist, I was in heaven for the whole week! The cycling infrastructure in Holland is awesome. And our tour guides Michael and Edith were amazing, with their focus on safety first, and their accommodating approach to all the attractions we visited, stopping at great watering holes and lunch spots – and taking us on city tours every evening. Our chef Timo and housekeeper were great as well, with their service. What really impressed us was the “all hands on deck” on the part of the captain and crew, from getting our bikes on and off the ship to cleaning up after meals. All in all a first class most enjoyable tour!

It was perfect. I loved the crew the itinerary and the ambience of the barge. The days were filled with fun adventures and I learned so much about the Netherlands, the water system. It was a perfect vacation and I plan to go on another boat and bike tour.

Such a great trip – everything was perfect – the boat, the bikes, the rides and the guides. Totally loved it!

The barge, with Chef Steffi, was perfect in everyway. Comfortable beds, great food, wonderful crew, we enjoyed every minute we spent on the water with them. I even enjoyed my time on the barge after not being able to cycle after hurting my shoulder while cycling. I feel that it should be mentioned in your trip description that there is quite a lot of city cycling and that the native cyclists and drivers are quite aggressive when on the paths and roads. Most of the people on this excursion were from either the U.S. or Canada and we all agreed that it was much more mentally exhausting than expected because of how we had to share narrow trails and roads with people going much faster than our group. I fell after the second day cycling and was not physically able to ride after that. Even though I cycle in Oregon I found I was very unprepared for biking in Holland.
