Boat Bike Tours

We traveled in May 2026 from Bruges to Amsterdam on the Magnifique 1. The weather left a little to be desired – cool, rainy, and a few downpours. But the weather never dampened our spirits! In fact, it necessitated more impromptu visits to warm pubs to get out of the rain. Everything about this trip – our guides, the crew, the food, our bikes, the route, the scenery – everything was amazing and wonderful!! This trip is so well organized and executed, and top notch in every way. We were also lucky that the other participants were all interesting, congenial, and easygoing folks. I have a hunch that such people self–select for this kind of trip, and that’s fine by me.

We just finished our trip with Boat Bike Tours on the Fluvius and we enjoyed a wonderful time! Our tour guides Hans and Jan were super helpful, friendly, and informative. The crew fed us scrumptious meals and kept our staterooms tidy everyday. The biking riding through the villages and countryside of the Netherlands and Belgium just can't be beat. We rode approx. 35 miles each day. The bikes are in great shape. We rode e-bikes and they were very easy and comfortable. I definitely want to take another BBT excursion again soon. Thank you BBT for everything!!

Boat Fleur with Captain Steffie and helper Edwin was amazing. We had a wonderful time, they were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Carol and Milo were our guides and did a great job. Ilse took good care of us and our rooms, Paulo kept us well fed with nutritious food.

The ship/bike tour was small (about 30 people) which made it a lot of fun. We all dined, biked, and toured together. I ended up going alone because my friend was ill but everyone was welcoming. The food was terrific. Our chef Astrid prepared wonderful menus each night. The food was fresh, filling and healthy. The Princesse Royal had just been renovated and the rooms were well appointed. Our guides, Brian and Ronald were very imfortmative and knowledgeable. They kept our groups safe while we cycled and we had a lot of fun!!! The E bikes were easy to use. Overall, a great trip.

It was an amazing experience! It was beyond my expectations. The routes we did were so beautiful. The staff was incredible. Leslie our bike tour "coordinator" was so detailed when explaining the routes and spent so much time being sure everybody knew what to do. Mohamed and Milan in the bar were fantastic. The musician, Binicio, was great! Our waitress Hnim was so nice. The food was good. Cero complaints all good things to say about the tour. Everything so organized

We rode on the Fleur starting April 16th, 2026 with Captain Steffie, Ivo, Sara, Paulo, and our guides, Michiel and Ronald. Everything was wonderful. The whole team went out of their way to provide a great experience and to share all of their knowledge. The food was good, the boat was clean and comfortable, and the crew were enthusiastic about doing their jobs well. The bikes worked great. I highly recommend renting the e-bikes (for the wind!). Lots of cool little stops at windmills, a cheese farm, tulip fields, and noteworthy sites in the towns. Loved the history talks in the evening, plus the optional walks into town. So many waterfowl, cows, horses, Scottish Highland Cows, sheep, alpacas, and all the babies! Canals and more canals!! Simply stunning countryside and never too many tulips! Our guides were fantastic. We learned a lot and laughed a lot. Our fellow travelers were also wonderful companions. I highly recommend this trip. And remember, “Always a bike!”

The boat was small by cruise standards, but immaculately clean and well maintained, tastefully decorated, with added small touches of fresh flowers both inside and out. Rooms were tight, but that is what we expected, and were nicely appointed. The crew, from captain Stephie to housekeeper Sarah, were friendly, professional, and extremely competent.

Bike riding through the tulips in springtime Netherlands was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip for me. Views were stunning, excursions well-planned and immersive, landscapes varied, and small towns charming.

The guides, Michael and Ronald, were exceptional at explaining clearly, keeping us safe, adjusting our bikes to keep us comfortable; they were patient, engaging, playful, knowledgeable, friendly. Processes were clear, well thought out, perfectly organized. Paulo, our chef, provided exceptional meals, making masterful adjustments for this vegetarian.

Our ebikes were comfortable, well- maintained, with batteries that lasted longer than anticipated.

Would we do this again? By the second day of the tour, we were already planning the next trip. With only 20 passengers, the rapport with other like-minded, active types soon developed into a warm camaraderie that only added to the experience.

Let's do this again!

Our Boat & Bike adventure was absolutely unforgettable—an experience we’re already hoping to repeat in another country! The boat itself was perfect: comfortable, welcoming, and the ideal home base after each day of exploring. The crew and tour leaders were exceptional, sharing fascinating historical insights at every turn—and delighting us with the sweetest treats along the way.
Both the guides were a true delight and shared their love & historical knowledge of their country with so much passion, it inspired me, we should all love our country the way they do!
We loved every windmill stop, each one offering its own charm and story. Cycling through the stunning Dutch landscapes and discovering so much of Amsterdam and its surrounding countryside by bike made the journey feel immersive and authentic. Every mile brought something new to admire.
It was the perfect blend of activity, culture, relaxation, and indulgence—an adventure we would happily relive again and again.

I haven’t been on their tour as a whole but I’ve tagged along as a native. The gids were so nice and the people too!!!

You should totally try it!!!

The captain and staff of the Fleur were very friendly and Chef Paolo was terrific! Very accommodating to this vegetarian traveller. Our bike guides, Michiel and Ronald, were lots of fun once they got over the initial shock of guiding a group of 20 women. Both were extremely knowledgeable about the history of the sights along the way and adapted routes for those cyclists who were uncomfortable with too much city riding.

The captain and staff of the Fleur were exceptional and the rides were well mapped and informative. I cant wait for my next trip!

BBT offered a refund of the credit card processing fee. My contention was that it did not clearly outline the fee as a CC processing fee. Had I know that upfront I would have utilized the ACH payment option. I offered to switch payment methods but BBT processed a credit to my card. Thanks for stepping up BBT.

The information we got about Egypt from our guides was amazing, never boring. Cycling & interacting with the friendly people was also a special thing to do. Our food & accommodations were 1st class.So much to do & see never boring. This was a trip of a lifetime for us.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation for the excellent trip that your team organized. Everything was arranged in a very professional and thoughtful way.

The itinerary was well organized, and the hotels and boat accommodations were very comfortable. The restaurants we visited were also excellent and gave us a great taste of the local cuisine.

The bicycles were in very good condition, which made the biking trips enjoyable and safe. The cycling routes were beautiful and well planned. I especially appreciated the interesting historical information shared along the way, which added a lot to the overall experience.

Most of all, I would like to compliment your staff. They were highly professional, well educated, friendly, and always helpful. Their knowledge and enthusiasm made the trip even more memorable.

Thank you for providing such a wonderful experience. I would gladly recommend your trips to others and hope to travel with you again in the future.

This one of a kind adventure in Egypt with Boat & Bike is off the chart amazing!! Anyone who ever dreamed of visiting The Great Pyramids and all the rest that Egypt has to offer should do it with them! Fully supported with no details forgotten. This was truly perfect in every way!

Very nice overall.
Boat, premisses and service very good.
Spots chosen for visits, both ancient and current Egypt, very good.
Guides and organization excellent.
My remarks and suggestions:
1 include Abu Simbel rather than de Red Sea part; this could be offered as elective.
2 stress that this is a different tour, less bike and more historical than probably all the others, to align expectations.
3 picnic lunch bags quite poor. The lunch bags offered to be made by us on the Amsterdam-Bruges were very good, as an example.
Thank you and congrats to Laurens & team

The Boat/bike staff were cognizant of our comfort and special needs during the biking excursions. They provided water, snacks, toilet stops, and food for lunch. They provided transport for me on an especially long bike ride. Everyone was encouraging and helpful.

Absolutely amazing! After decades of travel, this was my favorite European vacation of all! Cycling every day in beautiful weather and gorgeous scenery is a sure winner. And, when you add the great guides, top flight meals, and exceptional service it becomes truly wonderful. It was the most enjoyable and least stressful vacation I've ever had. I'll definitely be returning!

The sights, food and accommodations were wonderful.

The whole Egypt trip was very well planned and organized every step of the way.
