This was a solid vacation for us. We learned a lot about Croatian history and culture. The boat exceeded our expectations and our cabin and bathroom were great. The bike guides made the trip for us; they were safety conscious and personable. Would have liked to have had slightly longer rides throughout the week. Food was good but missed on a couple levels& fish was not fresh, breakfast layout was awkward. This was our 3rd boat and bike, we will look at other offerings for another.

It was excellent. Much better than expected. The barge the staff and the food were all outstanding

Our excursion with Boat Bike Tours exceeded my expectations. The Fluvius is a beautiful boat, the food was delicious and well prepared, and the staff went above and beyond to help out in all situations. As for the bike riding, I was amazed at how beautiful the Netherlands is. We were able to enjoy the scenery so much more with biking at a leisurely pace as opposed to driving. Thank you for a great vacation!

The DeHolland was a wonderful boat – very comfortable cabins (small), lounge and sundeck. The bike riding and directions were superb. Food was also very good. Enjoyed it very much and would definitely do it again.

Having completed more than ten boat and bike tours in Europe we can confidently say this was one of the best we have ever done. The Caprice is an excellent boat with comfortable air-conditioned cabins complimented by an outstanding crew. The meals are of a very high standard with variety providing imaginative, wholesome meals including the vegetarian meals which are so often bland. The cycle routes are very well thought out and led by a knowledgeable and supportive tour leader. We have no hesitation in highly recommending this tour and cannot wait to do it again the reverse direction!

The Lena Marie and crew were wonderful and it was more comfortable than I anticipated. Our bike guides were good and informative about what we were seeing and history of how things have changed over the years. We enjoyed different local stops as well as stops like FloraHolland and the boutique farm with award winning cheese. The only place we didn t care for was Zaanse Schans. We loved riding in the countryside and would have enjoyed a few more times to stop for photos. We would definitely consider other boat bike tours! Our thanks to each person who made it fun.

The crew and fellow passengers were great. The staff were accommodating and friendly. The food was excellent !! This was our 5th. Boat Bike Tour. Keep up the good work !!! Just a few things that could improve – I don t think the heater in Stateroom 1 is working. By the morning it was very cold. And, if the handle bars on the e-bike could be raised that would be better. My hands would go numb. Thanks you from Peter & Sheila Evans. See you again !

The people and food made our trip fantastic. We were so happy we booked the larger cabins. I would suggest that regular bikes not ride with e bikes. It is difficult to ride behind an e bike and try to pace when the road or path is anything but flat.

Very organized tours and daily agenda. E-bikes were top rate. Guides were helpful and friendly. Magnifique III was very comfortable, spotless, and luxurious. All necessities provided ( shampoo, soap, hair dryer). Food was good and plenty of it- a bit too much fish and salmon for my liking though. Breakfast was mostly pastries, cold meat and cheese. Had yogurt and fruit as well and always a hard boiled egg – but not much in the way of a hot breakfast. Saw so much of the countryside and plenty of time in the cities. Extremely happy with the daily rides. Would highly recommend this tour from Amsterdam to Brugges on Magnifique III

It was a wonderful way to see the surrounding area of Amsterdam. We enjoyed meeting new people from all over the world. The experience of staying on a barge was fun. Food was very good. Biking took us to places most people won’t have experienced.

The weather was outstanding. The staff on board was helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, friendly and very hard working! The ship was clean and in good shape. The bicycle routes were good with clear maps and instructions. Bikes were very good quality.

We wanted a tour on the Magnifique boat but none of them were the length we desired. So we chose this deHolland boat. The boat itself was fine. The food on the boat was horrible. The tour director, Peter, a perfectly nice guy, was completely out of his element. For instance, it seemed to shock him that we were arriving into Amsterdam on the King’s birthday; he was dumbfounded by this. The biking itself, aside from some crappy weather, was wonderful.
