we selected this tour merely as a filler, between events and the dates were a perfect match. It turned out to be a memorable- one of the best – activities we have experienced in Europe. It was also great to meet and participate with persons from all over the world. Would however suggest name tags for the 1st day or two.

Our family of 6, ages 24 to 79 recently did the Boat Bike Tour from Amsterdam to Brugge. We were all delighted with the experience. Although the terrain is flatter than a stroopwafel for the older members the E-Bike option was just the thing. The tours ranged from 30-65km per day on the amazing pathway systems that criss cross the Netherlands and Belgium. The Magnifique II is a splendid vessel, well appointed and thoughtfully configured cabins. The staff were exceptional from our hosts/guides to serving/housekeeping to the chef John. Friendly, informative, helpful and professional. Our thanks and information to all at Boat Bike tours who contributed to this fine family experience.

Small boat with crew of 7 and only 34 guests which made for an intimate group that got to know each other which was very pleasant. The Magnifique II was well appointed and the staff professional and friendly. Bike groups were well organized and all needs met.

We had a fabulous time on the boat and bike tour through Holland and Belgium. The boat was immaculate, the crew was fabulous, the food was incredible and the rides were amazing. Looking to book another trip!

We have just completed the Deluxe Tour form Brugges to Amsterdam on the Magnifique II. The boat was comfortable and clean with excellent staff and the food was fantastic. The Guide-led rides are quite slow and clearly designed for the beginning rider. My wife and I are experienced cyclists and we never did get our heart rates up. However, this pace forced us to sit back and enjoy the scenery. We highly recommend this tour and look forward to returning.

Our tour from Amsterdam to Bruges on the Magnifique II was spectacular. The captain, chris and his crew were so accommodating and kind to everyone. Our chef, Jordy’s food was absolutely restaurant quality. Rooms were extremely clean and our servers Esme and Tara went out of their way to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for. Both tour guides were excellent and Jens added so much knowledge and history to each of our outings. Highly Recommend this boat and tour!

We had an amazing time on the Magnifique II Tour from Bruges to Amsterdam. Chef Edwin’s three-course meals were outstanding. The Tour guides Wendy and Jens did an excellent job showing us the sites along the tour. Captain Hylke was constantly making sure that everyone was well-taken care of. The rest of the crew, Tara, Esmee, and Thomas were always helping out in a variety of capacities. They were friendly, thoughtful, and always made sure everyone was comfortable and having a good time. Everyone on the crew goes the extra mile. My mother had a minor accident on her bike and when Esmee found out about it she wrote her a thoughtful note and brought her some delicious chocolate. We highly recommend this tour.

We went on the Magnifique II for the second time and have been on the III and IV previously. We always choose the Magnifique boats because of the excellent quality/care and friendliness of the Magnifique crew. The ownership and staff have always been amazing. This time was no different. Our guides in the past have been extremely knowledgeable of the sites and explained everything in detail. Our main tour guide on this trip seemed to be more interested in just getting to the final destination. Missed visting some of the beautiful castles/churches and seemed to not have the interest in sharing details with us or possibly didn’t know about them. The Magnifique boats are superb and we hope to go again next fall.

The experience was unique. The food exclusive and the guided tours interesting. I was very much impressed about the rooms that looked more like a 4 star hotel than cabins on a boat. Very comfortable bed, perfect shower and spacious bathroom

Our trip was from Amsterdam to Brugge, 8 days. The crew and bike leaders were excellent – very personable and did a great job. Food was fantastic and the towns and cities we visited on the tour were inspiring. Being on a small boat, you got to know almost everybody, making it much more enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour.
