Boat Bike Tours Reviews 920

Amazing Trip and experience. Highly recommended.

The guides were wonderful as were the bikes. Food was quite good (really good salads and soups); coffee was deplorable.
Friends had the bottom of a bed fall through in the middle of the night (not obese in case you're thinking this was the issue) which was then repaired. They switched beds between them and it fell through the second night. Two nights of no sleep. Not great. Otherwise a great trip.

This is our 5th trip with boatbiketours so I can fairly say that I can’t recommend this tour! Except for Prague, there was little of interest or beauty or friendliness along the route. No welcoming villages to stop and enjoy and there were 2 castles to tour that were the main highlights. Our upgraded room with a sliding door to open was hot with very little cooling from a weak a/c vent. The redeeming part of the trip was the staff, service and food! Our previous trips on the Danube, the Mosel and 3 different trips through the Netherlands had spoiled us. This trip was boring!

War absolut perfekt und alles super organisiert.

The ship, itself, was lovely. Our room was tastefully decorated, spacious and comfortable. (It was, at times too hot. But it was explained that only the heat OR the air-conditioning could be on, and since we were just in early spring, the temps fluctuated from highs to lows. We managed by keeping our window open)
Every member of the crew was personable, helpful, and fun. The food was delicious - the chef constantly amazed us!
The tour guides were also personable, knowledgeable and fun. My husband and I bike a lot, so we always felt safe and comfortable riding. But some of the less experienced riders seemed to struggle with the Netherlands “biking culture” (all the bike, motorbikes and car traffic mixed in). We chose to ride e-bikes and we absolutely loved the bikes. Ours were perfectly sized for us, comfortable and easy to ride!
All in all, it was a perfect 5 days of riding through tulip fields, enjoying the scenery along with the company of our fellow travelers. Then relaxing every evening on board. With just about 40 passengers on the ship, we felt that we could get to know everyone!
Just when we thought it was all over, our last day ending with our ship cruising right through the city of Amsterdam back to port! It was an amazing experience!

The boat Zwaantje was comfortable and clean . The crew , were all very hospitable and friendly , so much so that this was our second trip with them. Highly recommended Boston crew

The guides Peter n Hans were awesome
Highly recommend guides

The boat/bike tulip tour was more than we expected. The crew of the ship felt like family and the guests onboard were all very welcoming.
The biking with e-bikes was amazing. The guides made sure that the bike was adjusted perfectly to your liking. Hans and Peter were very knowledgeable and passionate about biking and provided us with lots of history/culture of the Netherlands. They were lots of fun and easy to talk too and answered all questions. We had a briefing every evening after dinner to inform us of the next days events, which we really liked.
The boat, Zwaantje was immaculate. The crew were very well organized and provided us with delicious meals and lovely accommodation. The captain and his crew went out of their way to be sure everyone had what they needed. We felt very safe on the boat and on the bike tours. We were well informed about the vast number of cyclists in the Netherlands and to be careful when biking and walking.
Some of the highlights of this trip of course was seeing the fields of colourful tulips, hyacinths and daffodils. Visiting the Keukenhof gardens was so impressive and a once in a life time experience. We visited a authentic cheese farmer who was very passionate about her farm...a delight for us as we come from a farm too. Visiting the flower auction was something you wouldn't want to miss. Biking through the countryside was breathtaking. Seeing the canals, windmills, animals and stopping in the small quaint towns was so beautiful. Everyone was so friendly!
Overall this was a once in a lifetime trip for us that we will treasure in our hearts. The crew and guides were over the top and made our stay extra special. Thank you Martyn, Brando, Karin, Frank, Peter and Hans for a fun, well planned, organized trip!

The staff on our boat bike tours were excellent. They were willing to accommodate those who could not bike and the days were very well planned. Our chef was awesome, so that meant the food was excellent.

The crew was fabulous, perfection. The food the ambiance was perfect. Thoughtful on time for everything. The bike ride was not as easy as they said plus we had high gusts of wind, if you do t ride often it should b suggested to get E bike. The food was incredible

An amazing experience. The Chef Petr produced amazing food. The youngest crew member Tieme was so hardworking and eager to please.
Negative was the extra fuel cost of 40 euro per person. Really? I should have thought that 40 Euro per cabin would have been adequate.

Wonderful trip, ship very well maintained and clean including cabin. Crew very friendly and helpful. Tour GPS perfect. Food very varied and always delicious. This was my second trip and definitely not the last.

Fantastic experience doing Bike-Barge Tour from Amsterdam to Bruges. Clean, comfortable and smooth barge. Wonderful staff who went out of their way to positively enhance our tour experience. Caring and informative tour guides during our daily bike tours. Beautiful tours both on the bike and at the cities where we docked. And delicious meals!

Super Team! Super Organisation!
