We have a wonderful experience with everything. The food was amazing, the crew lovely and polite, everything very organized.
Thank you for your feedback. We are very happy to heard you had a good trip and that you liked our food and crew. Kind regards Boat Bike Tours
My wife and I were on a week long sailing & biking trip aboard the Elizabeth which surpassed our expectations. We attribute this foremost to the crew, and then to our fellow passengers whom we sailed with. The crew on this sailing were kind and accommodating – each doing their jobs well and going above and beyond, helping to make our time aboard the ship enjoyable and memorable. It is, of course, total luck of the draw as to whom our fellow passengers would be, and we were indeed very lucky, as we enjoyed sailing and biking with some very nice people. The bikes provided were of decent quality, and the ships crew had our bikes lined up and ready to go at each port. We thoroughly enjoyed the trails and the scenery of the places we biked throughout the Netherlands, before returning to our ship in the afternoon. Our room onboard the Elizabeth was spacious enough, and well kept and clean. The meals and snacks prepared by the chef were a delight, and our time sailing on the Elizabeth was a joy. We hope to join Boat & Bike Tours for another adventure in the future.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re thrilled to hear that your sailing and biking trip aboard the Elizabeth surpassed your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back for another adventure in the future. Kind regards, Boat Bike Tours
Fantastic trip, crew was great – helpful and friendly. The boat was clean and beautiful. There were some maintenance issues which the crew dealt with efficiently but as a result the route was changed. A bit more information about things to see on the route would be a benefit as it was unguided.
Thank you for your kind review! We are delighted that you enjoyed our tour. We also appreciate your recommendation! Hopefully, we can welcome you on board again soon. Best wishes, Boat Bike Tours.
Sailing aboard the ELIZABETH was one of the best vacations that I have ever experienced. The crew were terrific. We ate like queens and kings. And the bicycle touring was like something out of a fairy tale. Gorgeous scenery along canals and picturesque Dutch landscapes. I hope to do another tour soon.
Thank you really much for this wonderful review! We are really happy that you enjoyed our tour so much and already plan to do another one! We are looking forward to welcoming you on board again soon! Best wishes, Boat Bike Tours
