5-day Tulip Tour

We did the 4 night tulip tour which I highly recommend. The boat, bikes, food and staff went beyond expectations. We rode up to 40km a day so a moderate fitness level is recommended however there are also electric bikes available if you prefer.

*** SUPER TRIP *** The team on the boat work incredibly hard to make sure you have everything and are well looked after. The new Magnifique III luxury boat is beautifully appointed. We took Suite 1 which was very spacious and has well sized windows for views on the go. The Tulip Tour we did was very scenic and colourful. Really enjoyed it.

I thought the boat bike april2 tulip ride was great. Staff wonderful. Would appreciate some higher quality of wine to choose from and don’t mind paying for the extra cost Dinners were good but at end of long outdoor cycle I think it’s important to have slightly larger portions and absolutely 2 choices on main course. Myself and others around me not big fish fans of which 2 of 4 dinners were Our bike guide Fred was a fantastic guide leading the faster group. A few rude passengers gave him a hard time for trying to keep the group safe with cycle rules and etiquette. Totally rude guests that should probably choose another holiday option. I would definitely use thie magnifique and crew again. Would like to do a 7 day tour Amsterdam Brugge Trish murphy

Wonderful to read you have enjoyed your Tulip tour! Regarding your comments about the wine and the food on board, we will send your suggestions forward to the crew. About your point about the other passengers: sometimes you make new friends, sometimes a week is long enough. That’s the charm of travelling in a group. Great that your overall experience was positive. Thanks! Kind regards, the Boat Bike Tours team.

We did not know what to expect, but we really enjoyed our time on the Magnifque. The crew was great and attentive. The rooms small, but clean and suitable for a small boat. The tours the perfect length. Good local food. Good company. And great tour guides. Corrie was fantastic and Fred was the best tour guide I have ever had. The only complaint was that the hot tub was not heated the third night and that was the coldest day when it was most needed.

Amazing time! We will travel with Boat Bike tours again. They take all the hassle out of traveling in a different country. The food was excellent, the accommodations were great and the tour guides were extremely helpful and fun. Thanks

This was the best vacation we have ever had. We went with 11 and 12-year-old sons. The crew were so accommodating and helpful. Tom and Wilmea The tour leaders were extraordinary. My only small complaint is that it would’ve been nice if they had Included several 2 minute breaks at sites that deserve taking pictures. The countryside was so beautiful and they were at least 15 or 20 places where we would have loved to stop take pictures and admire the beauty. Instead the priority seem to be getting from point A to point B in a set amount of time, somewhat like a race. We would’ve enjoyed a slower pace way more I think. Overall exceptional. We are going to book another tour for next year to another country for sure. The food and service was superb! The cook was marvelous.

Thank you for writing this review! We are really pleased to hear you had such a wonderful time on board the Magnifique2. We will forward your compliments to the crew and we will also tell them that you would like to have more ‘picturetime’. Most of our tours during 7 days, maybe a good idea for next year.

We spent 5 days on the MAGNIFIQUE II biking through the countryside in Holland. We cannot praise the captain, crew, staff, boat, or program enough. It has changed the way we will travel in the future. Just perfect. The biking, the boat (amazing) the food (gourmet quality and plentiful, just when you need it getting back from a bike trip). Thank you.
