Netherlands Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 1805

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

Tudo correu excepcionalmente bem. Recomendamos o passeio. Parabéns pela organização, tanto da Tripsite quanto do time local.

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.

Seeing the country, great staff, well organized daily tours , great food , great guests!!

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

Holland is a beautiful country with amazing farmlands, and darling villages, all set with a back drop of amazing canals and waterways and bike paths. We used big ferries to cross canals, we used small little bike ferries for smaller canals. We met so many warm and welcoming people and ate at quaint cafes on the water, and outdoor restaurants in the cities. It was a truly magical experience.
The boat, the Normandie, was a beautiful boat with a large sundeck and outdoor area in the shade. It had a lovely salon, an extensive bar, and great meals. The staff was friendly and helpful with with the bikes and the rides every day, and the meals and any needs on the boat.

Just an absolutely fun filled 7 days. Loved being on our own, just taking our time and figuring out what went wrong and where we went wrong haha. Never really got lost and always felt safe. Plenty of time to complete the days journey which always ended with a brew in some cute little bar sharing a laugh of our days experiences. The accommodations were very comfortable and LOVED the staff, as well all the bikers were just fun to be around. Credit to Peter for his daily recaps and “what is on for tomorrow, what you can see along the way”. He also had these fun little games that made everyone laugh and connect, good job, Peter. I enjoyed everyday for sure but I will say the trip to the North Sea was a huge surprise and delight for me. I have always lived in Atlantic Canada where you always enjoy MANY amazing beautiful beaches, but that beautiful day at the North Sea was for me spectacular. What a beautiful beach and a day to match. My thoughts were “perfect ending to a perfect week”.

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!

My wife and I did this ride for our 50th anniversary. We enjoyed everything about it although, I must admit, it took a day or two to get use to the bicycles which are not ideal. The routes are unbelievable. Never having been in a bicycle centered country it was a revelation. The hotels were good to very good and the GUIBO was easy to use. We had only one day of significant headwinds but others have suggested to do the trip in reverse if winds are a problem for you. In short, a great trip that I would do again. I will certainly look to do another trip with Tripsite.

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.

Staff and food and organization and accommodations! and of course itinerary

Great bike tour of a beautiful, natural area of the Netherlands; Terschelling, in particular, was a spectacular ride. Our tour guides, Anja and Hans, did a great job providing background information on all the ports and sights as well as adjusting the rides based on rain and wind, and the needs of the captain. On our tour, they had extra e-bikes, which they were able to offer to pedal-bike users (for a daily fee) on the two windiest days. The boat was comfortable and the sailing easy, which made for a unique experience compared with more common barge or hotel-to-hotel tours.

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.

What I am left with is the memory of the wonderful people I met on the trip. People from all over coexisted, braved some very wet weather, adapted to continuous itinerary changes due to weather conditions and still had a lovely experience. Food and accommodations were excellent. Kudos to the guide Peter who spent hours on his computer sleuthing out alternate routes for cycling as our itinerary continually changed. We missed some cities and had little time in others but you can't control Mother Nature or "traffic control" on the canals. All in all we had a great time and I will definitely book another B & B trip.

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.

scenery
great paths
food
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.

Really loved the countryside the food on the barge
And the care the staff took in a difficult situation that wasn't of their doing.
The tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful.

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.
