Tulip Tour - 5 day Tour Reviews — 1 to 30 of 111

Spectacular tulips, windmills, and countryside. Keukenhof gardens. Just the right amount of biking (50km/day). Boat size was excellent and gave us plenty of opportunity to get familiar with almost all the passengers. Guides were excellent ... we especially were familiar with MarieJose since we rode with her the 3 days. Suggestions: Might have mentioned to boost ebike's assist up to Sport or Turbo on the first day ... no sense trying to conserve battery since there was plenty. I'm not sure I saw pre-trip information tell us there'd be a bike bag ... not a big deal but it would have changed my choice of backpacks I brought. Maybe nametags would help ease into conversations with fellow passengers ... and phonetically spelled nametags for the crew too.

We hit the tulip season perfectly mid April and the weather cooperated with sunny, cool days. Phew. The tour guides were friendly and informative and the cycling routes were carefully chosen on smooth, easy bike paths outside city centers. The flowers were absolutely amazing and their beauty impossible to describe or capture in photographs. The Magnifique IV was quite elegant, very clean and comfortable. The service and hospitality were impressive and the food delicious. I highly recommend this trip to cyclists of all levels. Thank you, Tripsite!

Wonderful tour and great crew. The experience of riding to see the tulips and windmills was wonderful. The crew and ship exceeded our expectations. Maria Jose was a fabulous tour guide.

Our tour guide made it amazing!
Lots of fun memories were made during this trip.

1.The biking in the Dutch countryside was great. and a highlight.
2.The riding in the city was a bit hectic and I enjoyed getting an idea of being a biking commuter. .
3.The weather was challenging at times and that is just the way it turned out for us.
4.The stop at the outdoor museum was not that much fun I would just drive by it and not stop.
5. The guides and boat crew were very nice and made it a great ride.
6.The ride was organized to move quickly even with a lot of people.

The Staff, the Food, the towns we visited were amazing. The rooms on board exceeded our expectations with amenities found in premium hotels. The reason I didn’t give 5 stars is that it’s essentially a 4 day experience with really only 3 days of cycling. IE: Day one board at 2pm with no cycling day 5 disembark at 9am with no cycling. A better description of the actual experience would be my recommendation.

Wonderful tour and great crew. The experience of riding to see the tulips, Windmills and other sites wonderful. The crew and ship exceeded our expectations. The Chef and crew worked to accommodate our dietary restrictions and the food was wonderful.

The crew was fabulous, the food excellent, and everything on the ship was beautiful. We had a wonderful time and the tour exceeded expectations.

The weather in. Amsterdam was very cooperative . The boat crew and the bike tour leaders were all incredibly helpful and congenial. I was excited about seeing the tulips in April in Amsterdam at the Kooken, and I was not disappointed! I will definitely do another bike tour in the future.

I thought the guides and crew did an excellent job. The rooms were comfortable and the biking portion was excellent the food was great and everything was very accommodating. The only reason I gave it less than 5 stars was that the booking process and status updates were a bit more confusing than what we are used to. We should have been able to log in to check our account status and to check the details of the trip. The final documents were only provided a month before the trip and well after the final payment had been made. It added to the confusion prior to the excursion and also made us uneasy about whether the trip would be pleasurable. Work on developing a better website with better interaction.

The weather was perfect and the tulip day was beautiful. The E bikes were very easy to use and safer than the model I have been using at home. The guides were kind and considerate of everyone in the group. I appreciated that the route, etc. was modified according to the level of the participants. I’m sure others appreciated that they could do some rides self guided. I appreciated that I could pay extra and be assured of a gluten-free diet. I could not have managed the trip without that. The staff were all professional and congenial. I noticed that they worked very hard to keep the ship clean and working well..

Enjoyed the pace of riding through the tulip fields. Also liked the two guides we had on this trip.

Riding through the tulip fields, visiting the huge Tulip Garden and the Flower Auction. All amazing!

Riding thru the tulip fields was amazing. A memorable experience.

The boat, guides, bikes, and routes of the trip were awesome! I certainly did not want the riding to end. If I had to pick anything that I would change it would be that the food was a little "lite". When I am riding up to 35 miles a day, I need something a little more substantial for breakfast and dinner.
Joan and Betina were amazing and went above and beyond the whole trip.

The most memorable part of the trip was riding our bikes through the tulip fields. Bettina was our guide that day and she made sure that we could stop and see all of the lovely tulip fields. Another really amazing part of the trip was to the Flower Auction (Flora Holland). I had never seen anything like that. I would absolutely recommend this as part of any future trips to the Netherlands. I have been to the Keukenhoff two times before and am always impressed with the floral displays on the grounds there. The food on this trip was pretty good but it was definitely not the highlight of the trip. The boat was very clean but even the upstairs rooms were pretty compact. Towel bar warmers in the bathrooms would habe been a nice touch, as they tend to help with drying laundry that has been handwashed.

I loved the upclose feeling to nature that being on a bike offers.

what a wonderful trip we had riding bikes surrounding the city of Amsterdam.
The staff on board our barge/boat were wonderful. Hard-working, accommodating and very friendly and tending to all our needs.

Great experience and crew made our stay amazing! The rooms were larger than expected and meals were great.

The barge (Magnifique IV) was so clean and felt very new. The rooms snd common space were great. We had a suite which had 2 double beds pushed together, a small sitting area and a nice bathroom. The food was excellent and the bike riding was easy or hard depending on if you put the e bike on. I recommend an e-bike because the regular bike is the same without the battery. Our guides were really informative and took us through beautiful countryside. We loved the trip.

As with any trip of this type, the people make all the difference. The crew of the Magnifique IV were fantastic. The bike guides were all that we could have hoped for. Hans and Thomas guided us masterfully. We had a good comfortable pace, they were knowledgeable, fun, patient, protective, professional and happy. Boat crew was on point. The food was excellent and the boat was first class nice. Everything was 5 star good. The sights were well chosen and really interesting. Tulips were amazing. Keukenhof was my highlight followed closely by the incredible flower market auction area. Loved biking through the neat as a pin small towns and the beautiful countryside.

Excellent boat, service, food, staff, etc. - However, the biking had too many dangerous spots. It wasn't all "idyllic"as promoted on your site.

This was a fantastic trip. The crew was excellent, the food was truly gourmet and the bike rides and guides made every day a fun adventure. I would recommend to anyone.

Loved it all! The crew was wonderful, food excellent, biking experience great, overall would highly recommend. Other than the cold weather I wouldn’t change a thing.
Only suggestion- a little better communication on the rides. Sometimes difficult to hear & see.

Tour guides were great. We enjoyed the experience very much. This year, the timing was a little early as the the flowers in the fields were not fully in bloom yet, but it was fun to see the beautiful countryside.

The food on the boat could be improved.

We loved going to the Keukenhof. Joan and Bettina were excellent leaders, kept us well informed of the day's activities. Very helpful when any problems occured. Excellent meals on this trip. Our chef was superb. Our tour of FloraHolland was very good and worthwhile.

This trip was absolutely amazing. The rides were so much fun, especially with the guides (Corrie and Jeroen) who had so much energy and were just great company. I was also pleasently surprised by how comfortable the rooms were. Since it is a boat I was expecting them to be a lot tighter, but my husband and I were very comfortable. We were also in awe about the food served in the boat, the chef Sidi made delicious dishes all presented incredibly well. It honestly felt like a fine dinning experience.
We've been recomending this trip to everyone we know!

Great trip. The sights were incredible, the barge was great (comfortable rooms and beds) and the captain crew and guides were wonderful.

Barge facilities, food and staff were outstanding. Beds were comfortable; rooms were of good size (we were on the upper level); dinners were gourmet and sufficient in size; breakfast was ample.
