5 Star Bruges to Amsterdam Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 321

This was one of the best group trips we have ever taken. The boat (Magnifique IV) was well laid out and equipped, and the bikes were comfortable - regular and e-bikes. The guiding by Erna and Bert, was superb - interesting, fun, competent. The food, with Chef Alet, was outstanding- dinners were like those in a high end restaurant. The professional Captain (Gerard) and crew members (Gabriella, Maddy, and Alberto) were kind and did everything to make our trip safe and enjoyable. The routes, scenery, and stops were wonderful- fascinating with beautiful countryside and town views. The program and staff worked to encourage a wonderful comraderie among guests. But the end of the trip, our rides ran like a well oiled machine with warm friendships developing. The Belgian and Dutch people were warm and welcoming. Just the best trip!

The trip was full of so many wonderful sights, tastes, conversations, and history. I couldn't pick a favorite. The crew of seven all did a wonderful job.

The dinner time was my favorite time. Meeting and enjoying the atmosphere of everyone around me. The bike rides were wonderful. The sites of the towns and countryside were out of this world. Would love to book another biking experience. John M.

I loved the non-stop beautiful scenery through countryside and towns. The bells tolled for us in every town we stopped in. I climbed towers at every opportunity. My favorite stops were in Schurr for coffee (with advocaat!) on a rainy day, the cheese farm, and getting to pet calves on another farm. The strawberry vending machine was a marvel also.
The Magnifique staff were all exceptional. I have never had such elegant and delicious meals for so many consecutive days before! To say we were well-fed is an understatement.

Loved the whole experience. The crew was excellent. The biking experience was good but wished for a little more biking & less stops.

Knowledgeable and hardworking staff with beautiful scenery throughout the entire trip.

Great scenery. Fun riding. Great staff on the boat and the bikes. Great food and service. Very friendly ! Inexpensive. Highly recommended !

Loved this trip....great cycling, food and scenery!! It was great to meet so many lovely people. I would do it again in a hearbeat!!!

Meeting new people from different places, and the Crew was amazing!

A sensational trip with a perfect itinerary – highlighted by the Kinderdijk windmills – delicious food, a comfortable boat, and well-prepared guides and staff, especially our guide Anna and the barmaid Violet!!

The Netherlands was absolutely a beautiful place to bike through, we had a wonderful staff to take care of us and the other people on the trip quickly became friends.

Great trip. Not very many recommendations. Tour guide was great and staff on the boat very professional and great. Easy fix to one suggestion - bikes did not have water cages - they all should! The weather was moderate the week we went so it was comfortable on the boat, I was happy there was not a heatwave that week bc I would have been worried about the temperature on the boat. I really, really liked the trip!

The Dutch countryside and cities. The people who participated in the trip the staff which took which took very good care of us.

I like that they offered a short ride and a longer ride each day. The food of the boat was incredible. The assistance offered by tripsite.com was very good

Our bike tour guides, Brian and Diede, were incredible - we learned so much about the local culture, saw beautiful scenery including lush farmland, quaint villages and bustling cities. Daily briefings prepared us for what was to come and gave us an opportunity to ask questions. I am not an experienced cyclist but with the guides assistance I was quickly comfortable riding with the group and so enjoyed every moment. The boat and our suite were clean and comfortable, the crew was very friendly and helpful, there were always healthy food options and delicious meals. Instead of riding a bike, if one wanted to stay on the boat and watch the beautiful scenery go by, read a book, write in a journal, etc., that was always an option. This trip is a memory I will treasure forever.

The trip on Magnifique IV was a great and memorable experience. The crew and tour guides couldn't have done a better job of managing our group and the record setting heat of the first three days of our trip. The boat accommodations were comfortable with a surprisingly large bathroom. The food prepared for us by chef Doychen was nothing short of fantastic.
Overall, the value for the expense exceeded my expectations.

Great staff, great food, and most importantly great people. The best part of tours like this are the people that you meet from all over the world. This is my second boat and cycle trip, and both times I have created lasting connections with others on the tour. I will definitely be doing another similar tour in another new location down the road.

Trip was wonderful. Tour guides and the staff on the Fluvius were excellent. Unfortunate part was the AC on the ship was not functioning.

The route was absolutely beautiful and the pace was excellent. Staff were friendly and helpful, accommodation was clean and comfortable, and the meals are very good.

Experiencing the awesome cycling infrastructure in both Belgium and the Netherlands.

It was everything Tripsite said it would be. We were very happy with our tour guide, Rene, who was very involved in keeping track of everyone. All the advance information Tripsite provided about the GPS tracks, country biking laws, weather, etc was very helpful. The ship, De Holland, was clean and well run, helpful staff, and the captain had a playful attitude. However, many of us got tired of the same cold cut sandwich fixings for lunch. We got rained on at least 3 days, and it was colder than usual, so be prepared with good rain gear.

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

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!

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.
