Belgium Bike + Boat Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 1003

Our guides were fantastic in providing information regarding area of interest.

The crew and guides were awesome! Frank was an incredible Chef, we looked forward to every meal. We had a couple of glitches and the guides handled each situation like a pro!

This was hands down the most amazing trip ever. The boat crew (Mistique IV) was incredible, our bike tour guide (Marion) was wonderful, the scenery, the food, accommodations, everything was perfect. We will 100% be doing another tour with them.

Met some very nice fellow passengers during the trip. Crew was very professional.

The fantastic bike routes, great staff, (especially Lubey and Norman), and casual atmosphere!

Beautiful scenery , routes and excellent coffee stops. Peter and Hans were excellent tour guides, chef Liam was outstanding and the support staff were great. Only suggestions would be to improve the quality of the bikes and a few more snacks after the rides . Pack gloves for your rides especially on fall trips
All in all our favorite bike trip

We loved our time on the Magnifiique Ii. Guides Han’s and Peter were excellent. Beautiful countryside but very busy cities. Great trip!

The 2 guides on our Bike and Barge, Peter and Hans were absolutely fantastic and they were the difference in making this a wonderful memorable journey.

We elected to do self guided rides every day, this allowed us to stop and take photos, or explore as much as we wanted at each stop. The Ride GPS app worked great! We could confidently strike out on our own. Guides (Corry and Anna) answered any questions we had, to clarify stops, what to do, etc. before we set out. The evening tours were a bonus we enjoyed each day. The barge was way more luxurious than we expected. Every staff member was super nice, and took care of any request we had. The food (snacks, meals and drinks) were also beyond our expectations. We were glad we packed rain gear, as we needed it 3 days. E-bikes made the miles very manageable (we elected long route every day), and the provided dry bag panniers were greatly appreciated. My first trip to Europe, and I believe biking 180 miles allowed me to experience The Netherlands and Belgium way better than someone visiting only the big cities. I HIGHLY recommend this trip for anyone who likes to bike.

Cycling through the small towns and fields. So picturesque and very calm riding.

Staff were great and worked very hard for all of us during the week. Unfortunately strong winds kept us docked for a day so we lost a day riding north as planned and caused other changes in the itinerary which apparently is not common but can happen. Food was very good and enjoyable to meet others from other countries during social hours.

We had a wonderful time on this bike and barge. Staff was fun and helpful. We had the best dinners I have ever eaten ~phenomenal chef on board.

Riding along the beautiful country paths, leaning about the history of the area and walking through the lovely old towns.

The most memorable part of the trip was the biking guides, fabulous!

The bike riding was the most enjoyable part for me. The ride to Amsterdam was great. As was the stop by the beach on the way to Veere. Our Guide, Mike was so kind to provide us with evening tours in the beautiful small dutch towns. our chef Paolo was great with delicious dinners each evening. And the captain Paul was excellent and added a touch of humor to the trip.

The staff was very friendly and helpful

The ship and crew were top notch!! Wonderful experience. Our chef, Steven, came out at breakfast asking us for our meal choice that evening. He was an excellent cook. Gourmet food. Beautiful presentation and delicious. So nice being on smaller ship with only 35 passengers. The owner was our captain the last 5 days of the cruise. Very hospitable. Would highly recommend.

Cycling through villages in Belgium and Netherlands.
Enjoying beautifully prepared food from a wonderful Chef. Meeting and travelling with people from all over the world who enjoy an active and social holiday.

Great boat. The food was exceptional, the guide was very knowledgeable and helpful. The whole staff was accommodating and dedicated.

On the first night, the captain introduced himself and followed up with the most important person on the ship.. the chef! The boat crew, guides and especially the chef did an excellent job.

Beautiful boat, great guides, responsive wonderful staff and very clearly a well run tour. I would highly recommend this tour. The bikes were well-adjusted right from the start and tour guides gave us a chance to trial a short ride the day of embarking...nice to have a choice as to longer or shorter rides each day, and lovely to have excursions to see special sites along the way.

The mix of beautiful countryside and vibrant cities and towns.

Everything was top notch; the dinners were all superb; the service and guides were great; the accommodations were good. Travelling on a smaller barge is a more intimate experience. I used an eBike, which isn’t always necessary but when the wind dials up it certainly makes life easier.

The boat, food, and staff were all fantastic. The bikes were great- easy to use and very sturdy.

Boat was awesome and the crew was stellar ❤️. Loved riding through the Dutch countryside with a bunch of old friends and some new ones! Guides were great as well. We always felt safe and looked after!

The trip was well run, food was great the tour was amazing look at the country's.

The views cycling Bruges, the countryside, windmills etc
Boat was nice, food was good, nice staff.

The entire experience was amazing, and I loved everything, the places we rode through, the lodgings, the food, everyone who took care of us, it was fantastic!!

The beautiful scenery, everything so different from the US - and in many respects, better - food, conservation, transportation.

The Boat was very comfortable. The crew were amazing! They were always smiling, quick to fill requests or anticipate needs. Very hard working and clearly worked as a team. The chef did an excellent job with the food.
Riding bikes in then Netherlands is a dream. The country is so bike focused.

There were a couple of times that could have been improved or communication could have been better.
I feel we wasted a lot of potential exploration time in Antwerp due to waiting hours for a bridge to be raised. I know this is not the fault of the Captain or crew but I do think that an alternate way for getting us to Antwerp could have been found, a water taxi or even disembark and hop on a bus. We were so so close to the city but were stuck on the boat.

Additionally time in Ghent was minimal as the boat did not stay in Ghent

Overall the trip was very enjoyable.
