2 Star Amsterdam to Bruges Tour Reviews — 1 to 2 of 2

We travelled May 24th to 31st on the Fluvius. (Amsterdam to Bruges).
The biking, the crew and the guides were fantastic. The ship on the other hand was not. We had one engine and no air conditioning.

This caused several problems: our riding was cut short on the first three days because of the engine difficulties.

The sleeping cabins and the dining room/ lounge were very close to unbearable with the heat and lack of air flow. Some nights we had to sleep with our door open due to the heat to allow for some air flow which presented privacy concerns for all as many of the passengers had to resort to this tactic of open doors. The crew did a great job working through these conditions but this is unacceptable working and living conditions.

While we enjoyed our time off the ship I would have serious reservations booking again with your company.

This trip was a disappointment compared to our previous week on the De Holland. This barge has no ventilation. The lower rooms were very damp and moldy smelling. We would have to open the door to the hallway after we showered. No fan in the bathroom and no way to eliminate moisture or odors. They were not using a proper disinfectant spray between groups so the virus germs can stay in these damp rooms. One woman entered the barge with Covid. She ended up passing it to 9 people.. They were all asked to leave the barge on their own expense. People need to be aware of this potential expense. Guides were ok but best for experienced riders. They encouraged independent travel but they are in the process of changing from the GPS maps so it was confusing and we frequently were lost and had to look at the map. No serious troubles.
