Netherlands Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 1930

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.

The tour guides were awesome and the boat was fantastic. I was not expecting an executive chef to feed us each day. This was a great vacation where I didn't have to worry about one thing. The crew of the Magnifique IV pampered us, and they were very friendly.
The bike riding was my favorite part and seeing the countryside of both countries.

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.

The cycling was phenomenal: beautiful scenery, wonderful paved designated cycling paths. Our guides were friendly, experienced, just excellent. Our boat, the Magnifique X was beautiful and very comfortable and the excellent staff prepared delicious food and took great care of us.
Definitely one of our best bike and boat trips - this was #9! Hopefully more to come!

The cycling infrastructure was fabulous. It was lovely to be able to ride through differing landscapes, not only along the coastline but further inland where we could enjoy the farms and their beautiful gardens and canals. We upgraded our accommodations and they were beautiful, particularly our hotel in Gouda. Our e-bikes were also a lot of fun. In the past, we usually chose to ride with normal bikes, but the e-bikes allowed us to get to our destination earlier so that we could explore. This is our fourth tour with Tripsite and we love planning with them as they are always very supportive and flexible. Thank you for an amazing trip.

Excellent accommodations. Food was elegant. Staff professional and kind

This was our 5th Tripsite experience!
We loved Bruges to Amsterdam!
The scenery was great because the bike trails offered that. The people we encountered in Holland & Bruges were all very friendly & informative if we had any questions.
I celebrated my 70th birthday the last day of our trip in Amsterdam! A great way to enter my 70th year! We are looking forward to planning our next trip with Tripsite … they have never failed with any of our beautiful bike trip experiences!

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.

Cycling around a beautiful country. Seeing historic cities and understanding how the Dutch overcame the sea and car centric horrors.

biking ,food and the dutch are the best .thanks and the apple pie the best

The trip was a wonderful journey through several amazing Dutch towns. The riding was as advertised through beautiful countryside and towns. The barge, while having a few small mechanical issues, was a good home for the week. The crew was friendly and accommodating. Lukas, the chef, provided exception al meals enjoyed by all.

I look forward to my next adventure.

It’s hard to pick one thing that was my favorite part. The crew (Jerome, Juju and Lucas) on our boat were awesome as was our guide, Klaas. Klaas did a great job of showing us beautiful sites, and taking us on very interesting routes. I loved biking through forests, by fields of sheep, horses and cows, traversing dikes with great views, and biking and walking in all the charming little towns. The boat was very comfortable and the food was great. Lucas made us delicious dinners every night. I have to say that we were very pleasantly surprised because we only had 6 in our group, and that worked out to be a huge bonus. My e-bike worked great and I loved riding it. Overall, I’d give the trip 3 thumbs up!

The fantastic cycling set up in Holland and a really comfortable cabin

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

The most enjoyable part of this tour was definitely the bike riding, the company of fellow passengers and enjoying the delicious dinners prepared on board. We felt very comfortable being guided through the beautiful countryside on trails and amazingly narrow roads, stopping at historic sites and learning a little of Dutch traditions.

A superb week! Winny and the team were so well organised and calm making a really enjoyable week for biking and sailing. We loved discovering this part of the Netherlands which we didn't know at all and were able to see and learn a lot about it both with the guides on the bikes and the crew on the boat. An added bonus was the food - exceptional 3 course meals every evening and hearty breakfasts to start the day. A great success!

Our tour guides and staff on the ship were fabulous. Our ship had mechanical issues including air condition failure, generator failure, ice machine failure and generator failure. The ship waived the fuel surcharge to compensate but I was glad I was on an upper deck with a window.

Hard to say the most memorable as it was all great. The team was excellent. Each was expert in their roles. The team made for a joyous time. The bikes worked well, the food was great, the cycling was fun.

We had a couple of picnics out in the countryside in wonderful spots. Sometimes you can find a nice picnic table in a perfect spot. We would go to a grocery store before leaving and pick up a baguette and snacks. It was wonderful. There are also cafes and restaurants on the way for other days.

Very friendly and capable crew and bike tour leader. I highly recommend this tour if you are a bike rider. If you're planning on using an electric bike- test ride one mear your home to insure it's good for you.

The scenery and ease of biking through the Netherlands were wonderful. I loved cycling past windmills, canals and wildlife. I loved cycling through marshes and small towns and cities. I loved experiencing bike ferries and bike parking garages.
The tour guides were fun and very helpful. The boat crew was also helpful and worked hard to help us in any way they could. The food was good and the boat was clean and very comfortable.

Riding through the woods of the Schoorlse Duinen and the Friesland ride.

Everything on his trip was wonderful! The boat was the best one we have been on, the cabins were large and they had sliding doors that opened to the river, the food was gourmet quality. The rides took us to wonderful cities which we walked through and toured from canal boats. The scenery was delightful and changing every day from river views to farmland and small towns. When we got to Paris one of the guides stayed there and was so helpful in getting us to the places we wanted to see.Like our own personal concierge.

Biking through the national tune forest was the best part for me. But it was all lovely. Except for the discrepancies between the written map and the GPS phone map it was very nice. The food was plentiful.

Riding next to the North Sea and the inland lakes, riding across the storm surge protectors, and our fellow travelers.

The trip was well organized. The tour guides weee knowledgeable and fun. The food on board the ship was much better than expected. Bike ride wa fantastic.

We were a group of 4 friends doing a bike barge for the first time. Wisely we were offered a good deal and coaching for electric assist bikes and that did help make for an enjoyable experience. We also opted for suites and those were excellent. Such efficient bathrooms and plenty of storage. Nice decor and lighting. Internet spotting so used my phone as a hot spot.
Our one trip leader was extremely helpful - especially in guiding us thru some tricky parts of the route. The other was delightful in her presentations, but was a bit hard to understand and seemed to leave out some crucial information - especially on what routes or areas were very crowded for biking. My partner opted out of riding a few days because the 2nd day was so difficult for him. I found as we went along our skills increased and we understood the navigation better. I also was able to Google the bike computer to learn more about its operation and how to connect it to the map mileage. That was not explained in the beginning.
The crew: Not nearly as friendly as I had expected. They did seem to warm up to a large group of party girls by the end and maybe us too, but smiles and friendly greetings were lacking except for 1 or 2. My partner and I had come from the Cotswalds prior and everyone was just extremely friendly and helpful - so that made the contrast more evident. It just shows when people don't love their jobs.
I had also expected to meet more passengers, but that was a bit of a hurdle because of the different languages. I was glad we had a group of 4.
We were blessed with some great (but hot) weather and overall had a wonderful experience. Food was good and deserts were great. If done again we would pay more attention to not biking in cities if possible.
