      Fabulous tour meandering through villages and canals under the exceptional care of the Fleur and boat bike tour guide Frans

      Fabulous tour meandering through villages and canals under the exceptional care of the Fleur and boat bike tour guide Frans. The meals provided on board were designed by the chef for the regions through which we were travelling, tailored for their history, so very good. We were provided lots of breakfast choices and a fabulous coffee machine! The e-bikes were easy to use and adjusted to suit (I m only 5 !) most paths and roads were easy going, and very enjoyable way to see this lovely part of the world – although being from regional Australia I sometimes found the traffic daunting in the bigger cities – however Frans guided us through safely & on the quietest paths. High recommend

      From the boat to the captain to the&

      From the boat to the captain to the staff, par excellence! The two guides Ronald and Desiree were even better. I looked hard for any negative input or criticism, the only thing that came up was sub-par towels. The rides were well organized and well managed the sights and routes were beautiful and informative the food was good the facilities were good. I and my wife had the time of our lives. I would highly recommend this boat and crew to anyone.

      Premium Tulip tour

      Every part of this tour was so well organized. Bikes were in excellent condition and the routes were spectacular. Our guide were exceptional. We also had a lot of additional experiences like a canal tour in Amsterdam and cheese tasting at a local farm. Food on the boat was superb and there were always snacks, tea and coffee available any time. Rooms were very comfortable and with nice hot showers which were needed after a long day biking. The bike pace was good for a large group and lots of breaks and photo opportunities.

      Tulip premium tour on the Fleur

      Amazing tour. Beautiful small barge with a wonderful crew. The tour itself was fantastic – the route was beautiful and the stops along the way were so interesting. We used regular bikes – no hills at all. If you are considering this tour – book it! We are already planning to do another tour next year. Fantastic experience.
