I can’t say enough wonderful things about our recent 5-day Premium Tulip Tour with Boat Bike Tours! From start to finish, every detail was exceptional and made for an unforgettable experience. The staff aboard the boat were simply outstanding  always friendly, attentive, and genuinely invested in making sure we had a perfect trip. Our guides, Olga and Bettina, were phenomenal. Their enthusiasm, deep local knowledge, and warm personalities brought every site to life, whether we were cycling through dazzling tulip fields, serene forests, or charming Dutch towns. The food on board was another highlight. Every meal was delicious, hearty, and beautifully prepared  the perfect reward after a day of cycling and exploring. Speaking of cycling, the bikes provided were top-notch: comfortable, well-maintained, and easy to ride, making the daily adventures a real pleasure. Our cabin was comfortable and well-appointed, offering a cozy, restful retreat each evening. Waking up on the water added a unique and peaceful element to the trip. Every day was packed with beautiful sites  the endless rainbow of tulips, lush forests, picturesque villages, and vibrant towns. Boat Bike Tours delivered a five-star experience in every way. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a unique, active, and utterly enjoyable way to experience the beauty of the Netherlands during tulip season. I can t wait to travel with them again!

An excellent holiday sailing and cycling with fabulous food, great guides, and attentive crew. It was clear that a lot of effort had been put into designing the trip. Cycling around North and South Hol;land is a joy because of the amazing quality of the cycle paths and the way in which motorists respect cyclists

The Trip on The FLEUR was fantastic. The crew was very cordial and outgoing. The visit with the Captain in the wheelhouse was very informative, she answered all of our questions. I would highly recommend this boat and Crew for any cycling trips.

We were on the tour through the Netherlands to see the Tulips in bloom. The trip was fantastic, and was made possible by the people from Boat and Bike. Everyone was knowledgeable and extremely nice. The boat was fantastic as well with a very hard working crew. What I also appreciated was the size of the tour of about 40 people. During our rides we split into 2 groups which made our ride and stops much more manageable and enjoyable. Finally I also can’t say enough about how beautiful the Netherlands were. Overall a fantastic trip.

This was one of the tours of a country we have every taken. The boat was very nice and clean, the routes and bikes excellent, the guides very funny and knowledgeable and the rest of the boat staff incredible. The food was excellent and we loved everything about this experience in Holland!

Just finished the Tulip time cruise and it was absolutely amazing! We enjoyed every minute of it. The guides, crew and staff were competent, friendly and professional, always felt safe on the trip!

The bikes are well maintained. The ship is clean and functional. The food is very good! Staff were lovely, friendly and supportive. We met lovely people from around the globe.

The staff made this a terrific experience- they worked very hard to make sure all our needs were met. I loved how we had six countries represented on our trip and really got to know an interact with other cultures. We visited so many terrific places, but my one desire was that we had more time to spend touring in some of them.

We just disembarked from the Tulip Tour on the Fleur and I already miss the wonderful crew and great food. The boat is clean and well maintained. The fresh warm bread every morning was something I really looked forward to. I spent a day on board when I didn t feel Iike biking and loved the view from the boat.

We love bike and boat tour! It is the best way to see a country.

Amazing trip, the crew was great! The chef did a wonderful job with my food allergy! The bikes were new and our guides very knowledgeable and helpful!

The Boat Bike tour offers a welcoming crew and very nice facilities on the boat. Chef prepared tasty and beautifully presented meals. Our BIKE guides were knowledgeable of the history and areas toured and gave good cycling tips. The scenery was exceptional and unforgettable! The reason I d rate it a 4 instead of 5, is the BIKE portion has opportunities from our perspective. Recommend more trained Bike Guides to handle the larger groups bicycling. Suggest trained guides, not volunteers from the guest cyclists at the front and as sweepers who can consistently communicate with each other as needed through out the rides. Phone numbers of captains and our Bike guides were given. Assume there may be novice international travelers and stress importance of knowing to have phones on and know how to make calls if needed. Believe more time spent on first night covering Bike cyclist etiquette of the local community; orientation to basics of group cycling, such as warning fellow riders of oncoming bikers from back and up trails, expectations of cycling in large group in the city and navigating large intersections as a group would be helpful. Overall this was a memorable and good trip. Thank you for the opportunity to give feedback to make.
