Wonderful experience

Loved the route which took us to the villages, towns, beaches and national parks. The tour guides and crew were very friendly and helpful. The cabin was spacious and the food in the boat was well prepared. Love the experience.

Great biking tour in the cute town of Utrecht
Utrecht City Bike Tour
We had a great experience with our guide Rafael. Even with some of our group being not so experienced with biking, the tour was doable and we were mainly on quiet streets. It was an excellent way to see places further than where we had energy to walk. And a bonus, we tried one of the worlds best ice cream! I would highly recommend this tour, you get insights into the city history and you experience the present way of life of the cycling town. Even on a hot day thistour was enjoyable.

Grand time in Holland
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique IV (and reverse)
A magnificent way to view a country. Biked over dykes, along canals, through back yards, farmers fields, small villages and large cities. A great variety. Excellent guides, boat staff and many new friends.

Great Way to See Holland
Amsterdam – Gouda – Bruges by Bike and Boat
The trip follows an interesting route along canals and through small towns. It avoids roads for the most part following bike paths. There are ALOT of bikes on the paths so you need to pay attention.

Nice Trip Overall
Amsterdam – Gouda – Bruges by Bike and Boat
Whilst this was a very easy cycling trip, but for us it was a real eye opener as we had never travelled to The Netherlands or Belgium before. It was great to the way the Dutch and Belgians have set up the communities to survive against the ever present threat of inundation. The countryside is beautiful and the way communities are set up is fascinating. The old towns and cities have their own style, different to Spain and Italy, so if you are interested in the old buildings and windmills, you won't be disappointed.
The entire staff on the boat were excellent and meals were superb. Companionship within the cycling group was also very good.
The only thing that was a little off-putting were some changes to overnight mooring spots over the course of the day on a couple of occasions. It didn't bother us that we had to cycle an extra few kilometers, but some cyclists were not used to travelling longer distances, so struggled a bit. I'm not sure why there was this uncertainty, but it took a little bit of gloss off what was a very enjoyable tour.

Best experience to explore Rotterdam
360° Rotterdam Bike Tour
We cycled with Bram and had a great time! Very informative and lots of lovely places! We visited some of the spots afterwards. The view on a city is always different when you learn a bit about its history. 100% recommendation!

So much fun!
Holland’s Southern Relax Tulip Tour
What a lovely way to get to know Holland. Our guide, Arie, was excellent - warm, knowledgeable, funny, and kind. The chef, Emile, was fantastic. I didn’t expect such delicious, thoughtful meals. He accommodated everyone with a smile, and was extremely helpful.
The cycling days were just right - a good mix of countryside, small towns, canals, and windmills pretty much every day. Arie was patient with the group and made sure everyone was comfortable. Staying on the barge was convenient, since it meant we could unpack our things.
The barge experienced some mechanical challenges, but the captain and crew were responsive, positive, and communicative throughout. I don’t feel it negatively impacted the tour.- What was the date of your tour?

An informative ride on a windy day
360° Rotterdam Bike Tour
Tom, our guide, was cheerful and competent from the start. We had a very windy day, which necessitated some route changes and we were unable to ride over the Erasmus Bridge because of safety concerns. (He was right about that!) It would have been nice to ride! more, but under the circumstances I don't think anything could have been better. Also, the communication with Bozena in the office as we were organizing our tour was excellent. She was kind and patient, and competent. A great value

NOT QUITE AS EXPECTED
Amsterdam – Bruges by Bike and Boat – Magnifique III (and reverse)
If you are expecting a leisurely bike ride along a well-marked path, plenty of time to stop for pictures and sightseeing, you will probably be disappointed. The route is not a dedicated, clearly-marked bike path along the river from Bruges to Brussels. It is so long and convoluted that even a guide got lost — twice.
Participants who don’t pay extra for a guided tour are provided a GPS app to navigate the route. Those accustomed to using GPS did o.k. We got lost right away. The GPS wasn’t much help since the signal was weak. We made it to the first town on the route where we ran into the guided tour group and decided to follow them. Some of the group members said the guide had gotten lost before we met up with them. She got lost again after we joined them. A 30-mile bike ride turned into a 55-mile ride after all the back tracking. Batteries on most of the e-bikes expired. One rider was so exhausted that she collapsed on the side of the road. We went past historic windmills, but the guide said little or nothing about them.
On another day, a different guide (after the previous incident, the trip became a guided tour for all), took us speedily through rugged, forested terrain that was more suitable for a mountain bike. It was all we could do to keep up, even though most participants rode their own bikes regularly at home. The route also included short stretches through busy, urban areas.
During the trip, there were numerous spills and a few non-incapacitating injuries. One person had bloody scrapes on her leg, which a passing good Samaritan bandaged. One scraped and bruised rider was possibly saved from a concussion by her helmet. While regular bikes are also available, E-bikes are heavy and harder to balance, especially on take-off.
The boat portion of the trip was much more enjoyable. The boat literally glided down the canal. The rooms were spotless and the crew friendly and courteous. The chef, who announced each night’s offering in a charming way, prepared meals on par with an upscale restaurant. That salvaged what otherwise would have been a rough ride.
