Tulip Tour - 8 day Tour Reviews — 121 to 150 of 209

We loved everything about the trip. Biking was great... Guides were awesome. Loved Yepka... Food was amazing. Thank you Inma. Staff on boat was awesome. Helga and RJ and daughter was so great. Biking was beautiful. Loved the gardens and Yepka's information. Husband loved Seiste's historical information.

This trip was perfect. The boat was clean, roomy and comfortable. I liked the ride and stay in Haarlem best, but wait the ride to Leiden … really loved it all! Did I mention the Chef and meals, wow.

The crew, the barge, the bikes, the food, the drinks, the countryside, everything was simply great!

The trip was amazingly organized and fun from start to finish!
My most memorable experience was how the staff made my birthday so very special.
My bike guide Seista bought me chocolates and the staff make a special dinner celebration and sang me Happy Birthday in Dutch!

The staff of the Quo Vadis went out of their way to make sure every moment of every day of our trip to exceed our expectations!

This was an amazing trip and experience! It had everything my husband and I wanted. Beautiful boat and accommodations, fabulous staff, and oh the food! Wow! So fresh and tasty. All of the staff were so personable and helpful. We became fast friends! We loved the biking routes and the places that we toured. One of my favorite experiences was eating my sack lunch in an open field next to a windmill. How cool is that! We are already looking into another trip. This will push us to keep our legs bike-ready!

The great itinerary, the Quo Vadis and staff, the tour guides for rides, and the scenic rides near the sea. The food was great as well! We definitely are looking to do another trip with the Quo Vadis! Thank you for a great trip TtipSite!

Excellent bike/ barge trip on the SARAH. The crew was exceptional with gourmet meal, knowledgeable bike leader, engaging captain, first mate, and housekeeping staff. The bikes were better than I had anticipated and each person's bike was customized to their measurements. Some of us downloaded the trip's daily route with the "Ride with GPS" App. Six of us, girlfriends, decided to follow the route by ourselves, separate from the main group. We had a blast and only got off track a few times. The country side was spectacular and the towns charming. The unique highlights for me were our visits to the Tulips festival, Keukenhof, and to a working cheese farm. The weather was chilly. It was in the high 50s low 60s. Definitely plan on packing layers if the weather falls in this range. The only suggestion I would have is for each cabin to have a small fan for ventilation purposes. The two bedroom cabins are tight and with only one window the air does not circulate very well. Other that than I would definitely recommend The TulipTour!!

Amazing rides through the countryside, full of spring blossoms

Great trip, staff was very helpful ,food was wonderful. The bike trails in the Netherlands are never ending and scenic. Would highly recommend.

Love the scenery. The canal with the houses and beautiful yards next to them, Keukenhof gardens snd the tulip fields were absolutely gorgeous.
If I did this tour again I would get an e bike. The wind was blowing pretty hard so I was struggling to keep up. Also it was a lot colder than I thought it would be.

This trip was a wonderful experience. From the minute we got on the barge to the last day was full of adventure, fun, and wonderful people. Our guide, Wim, was simply exceptional as our guide. He was always kind, patient, and a wealth of information about the different sites. The skipper, first mate, and chef were welcoming and the food was great!. The people we met on the boat soon became good friends! The sites were remarkable and the daily rode trips were manageable and fun. I would highly recommend this bike/boat trip on the Quo Vadis to anyone! I will definitely return.

A perfect trip. The Crew was excellent . Bike resides we’re the perfect length and the guide knew when to take breaks. He knew lots of local cadres, and out of the way sites. We rarely ran into another tour group.

What a great way to discover Holland! Fantastic combination of biking (best biking culture ever), guided tour, unique ship - and did I mention the amazing food?

Great trip. I highly recommend this. What a wonderful week-great group, great staff, great sights, great food. Fantastic tulips!

This was my first bike/barge trip, but it won't be my last. Even though I am 64, and an OK bike rider, I could keep up with the big kids with an e-bike.
The Fleur was great. Very comfortable, unpretentious (but table cloths and nice linens), and the crew was welcoming and experienced. Excellent week of well planned biking along flat, well kept trails. Windmills, history, and tulips galore! Thank you.

We did some of the biking with the whole group, but mostly we did self-guided biking. The entire group (19 people with the guide) was just too big to bike as one group. Three small groups of riders (with 4, 2, and 2 riders) would usually ride separately from the group and guide, making the main group a reasonable size. The GPS software was excellent, however people needed a unit to attach their cell phone to the bicycle. External batteries and Bluetooth earbuds were also very helpful accessories. The Keukenhof Gardens were a must see on any visit to Amsterdam. Such wonderful colors with thoughtful designs/patterns created by the workers in the gardens. The action packed visit to the Aalsmeer flower auction was an experience that people will not want to miss. The visitation/tour to the family cheese farm in Gouda was both yummy and informative.... very sincere and nice people own this farm. The barge did not have enough biking helmets and only sizes small and medium, so we would suggest you bring your own. The bikes were 7 speed, not 11 speed, however these were really good bikes with comfortable seats and 7 speed was good enough. We did not use e-bikes. The terrain was flat, as mentioned, however the very strong winds should have been mentioned in the information. Wind would get stronger in the afternoons and we had wind everyday, which the boat captain said was typical. The guide, Anne, was always willing and able to answer questions and was an extremely capable guide. Anne was a strong biker and guided us safely through areas.

The staff of the Iris was great! We loved the intimacy and comfort of this barge. Biking through the Netherlands was a very immersive and great way to truly experience the various layers and beauty of their culture. We are hoping to do a Bike n Barge annually to explore other countries.

The communication from Tripsite could have been better. We were dismayed to see others in our group received Tripsite vests and gaiters. We had not. We literally received our travel documents/tips 5 days before departure.

Everything about this trip was excellent! Great boat, great staff, great guides, great food! What an amazing experience!

Most memorable was the cycling through the countryside and smelling the flowers, hearing the bird song and enjoying the fresh air. Also the friendliness of our hosts, like being with family.

The 4 crew members were wonderful - always willing to help or make suggestions when asked.
The food was well prepared, tasty and plentiful. The barge is very well maintained and very comfortable. The day trips during the bike rides were very well organized and planned. I Can not say enough good things about this trip. Would highly recommend the Quo Vadis tulip trip to everyone. I hope to be back on the Quo Vadis soon.

The bike riding was great, going to places which would only be experienced by bicycle.

A wonderful experience overall. Premium barge, excellent service and friendly staff made the trip much better.
Like the fact that we could break the group into two (fast and slow) riders.
Suggestions: a little more breaks during riding to allow time to enjoy the countryside.

Our bike and barge tour on the QuoVadis was amazing. We followed our guides thru the cities, the woods, along the beach on a wonderful tour past acres of fragrant hyacinths, daffodils and tulips. On board our meals were delicious and our cabin most comfortable. A truly memorable and delightful trip.

Well… the weather wasn’t good (rain and wind), but no one can control the weather, so….

The Quo Vadis was very nice, and the crew were top notch! Our bicycle tour guides kept us safe and very entertained (thanks, Wim & Rikko!). Our chef, Franco, fed us very well, although snacks after our rides could have been better. Captain R.J. and first mate Hilde were lovely.

I would recommend this trip, but I would say to plan on the second week of April rather than the first week… chance of better weather and more tulips.

I truly enjoyed the variety of experiences the crew put together for us. We biked through small towns and large cities, through countrysides and farms, and we even biked through dunes. Everyone’s interest was accommodated but it didn’t feel like we were bogged down in anyway.

This was my first trip with Tripsite, and the competency, efficiency, and always there to answer questions is an A++++
The most memorable part of the trip was every minute! The tour of an original windmill and the workings of the windmill..unforgettable. The trip was amazing and the weather was so cooperative. The guide, the captain of the barge, and oh, the chef....that man could cook!

In my opinion, the bike barge experience with the Tripsite guides is the absolute best way to see and experience any country. The guides were both informative and fun and kept to the expected schedule.

My wife and I along with the couple that joined us all had a truly great time! The guides were extremely helpful and knowledgeable. The route each day had flexibility and was not strictly dictated. If there was a venue or a site that was of interest to the group and reasonably within reach of our ride for that day, time was carved out to make that stop. The ships crew was fun and helpful and our meals were very good. This trip was a very good time!
