We had a fantastic time. Guides were great. Boat crew especially our chef Ian and hostess Olivia were outstanding. Loved the fresh baguettes and bread brought on board every morning by the first mate. The captain Martin was warm and friendly all the time. Regular bikes were custom made for the trip, the rental e-bikes could have been better, but worked well enough to make for an enjoyable trip along the canals.

The crew was fantastic and very patient with all of us riders. I didn’t ride one day and that was fantastic too. Food was excellent and bed was comfortable with space underneath to store luggage and other items. I definitely recommend this company and trip. Diana

The scenery biking in the Netherlands was iconic and beautiful with canals, tulips and windmills. The crew of the Zwaantje was so friendly and helpful. We had a wonderful group of guests on the ship and we loved the smaller sized ship for the chance to get acquainted with all on the ship. We would highly recommend but know if the wind is strong the biking upgrades to moderate from easy.

Amazing tour, great staff! We were on the April 8-16 2022 tour on the Zwaantje. Captain Martin, Chef Frank, Serge, Karen, Hans, and Mijntje were not only professional but joyful and embued the entire trip with Gezellig! Amazing food, great conversations, and the views were wonderful. Of course, we had perfect weather (apologies to the group the week before us). 24 on the trip with daily options of a shorter or longer ride, and you could always go on your own (but no one did) Hans and Mijntje were perfect guides, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny! The entire staff had a great sense of humor. We will go again,

The boat bike tour aboard the Zwaantje from Paris to Bruges was a fantastic experience made especially enjoyable with tour leaders Hugo and Marcel and the beautifully fine weather we were blessed with during the 15 day period. The boat was beautifully appointed and the Captain, the staff and service they provided on the boat was excellent. We dined well every day on the boat with gourmet meals by chef Frank. The bikes were good quality. Organisation on-line through Boat Bike Tours administration went smoothly.

The company did everything they said they would and were very helpful in planning and supporting our trip.

I am a repeat customer (eighth or ninth trip), and that should say it all. Although I no longer cycle much, I enjoy being on the canals or rivers, relaxing, and exploring the towns and villages where we dock each night. I particularly like the small number of travelers, and the crews on each of my trips have been wonderful.

Amsterdam to Brugge tour – it was a great itinerary as we got to see so many different aspects of the countryside and townships. I would have liked more opportunities to stop and enjoy the views, take photos and ‘smell the roses’. A great way to travel, meet new people, make new friends! Facilities of the boat were excellent exceeding our expectations. Bikes were suitable for the journey and well maintained throughout. Food was amazing – thank you Frank!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Good guides, excellent meals and fun company. This was my third boat/bike tour and I have enjoyed them all. Manitoba to Venice, Aigues Mortes to Avignon and this one. The staff have always been friendly and helpful and FUN! I highly recommend this last tour. The others too!!!

Exceeded expectations will book with again
