Amsterdam is always a great place to start and finish. The evening walking tour was very nice.

The sights were beautiful but would have preferred to arrive in the town and villages earlier so we could have seen them in the daylight.

  Magnifique IV Amsterdam to Bruges
Netherlands, Belgium

I can't think of the most memorable....having our own "home" for the week was wonderful. The captain and staff were superb and the chef was exceptional. Bike rides were great and the guides full of info and enthusiasm.

This trip exceeded our expectations. The crew were amazing, our guide Anita was the best! We met strangers who became friends. The scenery and rides were incredible. I would highly recommend.

  Magnifique IV Bruges to Amsterdam
Belgium, Netherlands

Riding along the Belgian and Netherland countrysides and stopping at the magnificent windmills were the highlights of the trip, but every ride and scene were fabulous! Acres of brilliantly colored flowers, sheep, cows, horses, vast pastures and canals were seemingly everywhere for our eyes to take in. And the instant friends we made, our wonderful guide Corrie and the support staff helped to make the trip seamless. Having e-bikes allowed us to simply glide along enjoying the incredible views.
Our previous bike and barge tour stopped at ports with vibrant evening walking tours which were lacking on this trip. And the food for us to make daily lunches never varied. But overall we had a wonderful experience that we recommend to all of our friends!

We really enjoyed the towns we visited and the diversity of the beautiful countryside.

It was a family reunion with friends whom most have never been on a bike & barge trip…ever! It was fun, exciting, adventurous and EPIC. If you are curious about a bike and barge trip, take the leap and do it. You may see something, meet someone or reinvent yourself that changes your life.

  De Holland Amsterdam to Bruges
Netherlands, Belgium

The most brilliant part of the trip was the cycling of course! Flying along the wonderful cycle paths; getting lost, getting back on track again, enjoying the scenery of fields and windmills and people's beautiful gardens; finding the boat at the end of the day after an exhilarating ride and then really enjoying the sense of achievement at successfully completing a journey. I also just loved the boat (so comfy) and the crew (excellent) and the tasty plentiful food. I should add that the other passengers from all around the world were really nice and we had shared values - positive, energetic intelligent people - so I felt amongst friends. It was definitely one of the best holidays I've ever had and I shall do it again.
Top Tip. Buy padded cycling shorts!!!
And if you're not a practising cyclist hire an e-bike.

The biking, sailing, and staff were great. We really enjoyed the Zuiderzee Museum in Enkhuizen and the Eise Eisinga Planetarium in Franeker.

  Normandie South Holland Tour
Netherlands

We really enjoyed our cycling adventure in South Holland however, what was not mentioned was that the entire boat; staff and guests spoke German. This was not in the information that I read when booking this adventure. We did not understand the people at our table nor when we were cycling. The itinerary said the trip was September 21-29, so I was surprised when our trip was over on the 28th. I then needed to secure a hotel room that evening. Finally, I booked a room on the upper floor to have a view of the water and a window that opened. I did not read anywhere that the boat was in port each evening and I paid a premium to look at people sitting on a bench. We did not open the curtains or window for this very reason. I do feel that I should be reimbursed the extra fee that was charged for being on the upper floor.
Our guide Wolfgang tried his best to help us in English but he was difficult to understand. The food was great, and having coffee and cakes when we arrived back each day was fabulous.

How helpful the on board staff were. With the exception of Arie, the tour guide, I found everyone helpful and fun. The guys who managed our bikes were awesome, even wiping down our seats in the rain.

The scenery we passed through. It was beautiful. I definitely recommend going on the side excursion to the flower auction. Crazy scale.

  De Holland Bruges to Amsterdam

So many wonderful memories! The boat was very comfortable, the food was delicious, and meeting folks from all over the world was so much fun! The bikes were well maintained and the crew was helpful, courteous and thoughtful. Tour guide Arie always seemed to be on the road where he was needed.

This was my third bike/boat, and, this by far was my favorite. The accommodations were wonderful, the crew professional, friendly, and helpful. The tour was fabulous, meals were delicious, and plentiful with lots of variety. I can go on and on, we’re checking out another tour, if this particular ship went elsewhere, I’d definitely consider another booking on it. Friesland was so interesting.

  De Amsterdam South Holland Tour
Netherlands

The ease of booking, hospitality of the boat crews, well furnished boat (room, restaurant, lounge), scenic route, & most importantly, accurate offline RIDE-GPS

  Sailing Home Amsterdam to Bruges
Netherlands, Belgium

My husband and I loved this trip! It was an amazing combination of cycling and sometimes more difficult cycling due to weather and an incredible opportunity to see some beautiful country! The crew aboard Sailibg Home worked hard to make this trip go off without a hitch and they were successful! We were spoiled rotten! The meals were tasty and satisfying without being over the top or too much food! Lunches for the day were tasty and satisfying. The crew provided a sense of comfort and safety and much fun and laughter.

Trip was great. I loved it when our guide took us on a bus into the city at night. Even our captain took us on a walking tour one evening!!! The crew did a phenomenal job! Sat with us at our tables during dinners! Even took the time to celebrate somebody’s birthday with decorations and a cake!!! Everyone was made to feel welcome and looked out for each other! The food was amazing, the chef really book his heart into everything he did! Bikes were great. Beautiful scenery, fun stops along the way and learnt some interesting history. I would definitely love to do another trip like this!

  Sailing Home Amsterdam to Bruges
Netherlands, Belgium

The crew were super friendly and worked tirelessly to keep us comfortable and happy. The meals were delicious and beautifully plated. Our cycle guide Kitty was patient and friendly in spite of an unexpected reroute. Unfortunately this reroute had us cycling 50-60km each day with very little to see other than country side. Cycling shorter days would have allowed more time to explore the towns & villages. When we docked, our suppers took 2 hrs which prevented us from seeing some villages in the daytime. One final observation: we felt that the cyclers should have been split into two groups each with their own guide. One faster group and one slower group. The faster group often had to wait for the slower group to catch up.

Overall, it was an amazing experience. A huge thank you to Paul, Pim, Inma, Karin & Kitty for making us feel so welcome on the lovely “Sailing Home” barge.

  Sarah Amsterdam to Maastricht

Great experience. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking at a small group biking excursion. The crew and our guide were all great, the food was wonderful, the bikes were all in good condition. So much to see, and a good way to meet people.

Thank You

This was my first cycle trip. I rented an e-bike just in case I found it to difficult. I probably used it about half the time in minimal power assist. Quite flat for most of it but when travelling by north sea alot of headwind so the e-bike was terrific.
I loved the barge. The small group was great as we got to know one another! Food was good. I look forward to doing another cycle trip.

Scenery and the food was delicious every meal. Rooms were better than expected.

  Magnifique IV Bruges to Amsterdam
Belgium, Netherlands

The Magnifique IV ship was lovely and the food was excellent. The entire crew was friendly and accommodated special requests. The biking in Netherlands is mainly flat so I suggest using hybrid bike rather than an ebike. However, currently the tour only has 28" wheel hybrid bikes available so if your height is on the shorter spectrum and you're interested in riding a hybrid bike, I suggest emailing Tripsite.com in advance to see if they will be able to provide bike. Tripsite.com staff is friendly and very responsive in replying to emails.

  De Holland Bruges to Amsterdam
Belgium, Netherlands

We throughly enjoyed cycling through the villages and rural landscape.
We had a few days of strong winds which we understand is very normal for this region - this made for challenging cycling on a hybrid bike.
The bicycles were very old and needed replacing plus 2 bike bags should have been provided to hold rain gear. The GPS app wasn’t reliable and required frequent rebooting. Our cabin was infested with sewer flies - very off putting and disturbing.

  Fluvius Amsterdam to Bruges
Netherlands, Belgium

We loved the beautiful countryside of the Netherlands and Belgium! The cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Ghent, and Brugges were all so unique and beautiful! We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the MV FLUVIUS. The captain and staff that run the boat were excellent! Our cabin and the rest of the boat were freshly updated and extremely clean. The chef was outstanding and made every meal unique and delicious! His curried soups and lasagna were especially popular! The most memorable part for us is the wonderful people that we met and travelled with!!

  Magnifique IV Bruges to Amsterdam
Belgium, Netherlands

It was an absolute blast. The team on our boat were fantastic! I would highly recommend.
