Mardine Pelders

well organized friendly staff, guides really delicious food, breakfast, lunch, snack and supper, good coffee nice clean rooms through a misunderstanding between the guides we missed our “free” afternoon on day 4. we had planned to do the canal tour and had ordered tickets for that. At day 5 we had no time for that because we had other plans that day Was it not possible to do the big flower sale/auction in Aalsmeer on Friday morning? a small change of program We visit a tulip farm before we started the boat bike tour. Very interesting. Maybe you can add that to a tour

Wir waren die 1. Teilnehmer nach der Winterpause, die die Tour Nordholland mit dem Fahrrad gemacht haben. Die Organisation beim Essen war kathastrophal! Wir mußten uns anfangs selbst Teller zum Salatessen holen. Es war anscheinend trotz Nachfrage vorgesehen, daß 4 Teilnehmer mit ihrer Gabel diese Schüssel benutzen sollten. Das Essen hat am 1. Abend 2 1/2 Std. gedauert. Allerdings muß man sagen, daß sich die Situation im Laufe der Zeit verbessert hat. Das gesunde Essen war zwar angekündigt, wurde aber nur teilweise gereicht. Die Mannschaft war sehr bemüht, aber völlig neu zusammengestellt und mußte sich erst finden. Der Kapitän war Spitze und versuchte, für alles eine Lösung zu finden. Die Getränke mußten einzen vom Oberdeck geholt werden, was dazu geführt hat, daß sich viele Gäste selbst an der Bar ihre Getränke geholt und die steile Treppe hinunter getragen haben, weil es sonst noch länger gedauert hätte, da der Ober für die Getränke und die Essensausteilung zuständig war. Für den extrem starken Wind kann niemand etwas und es ist unbedingt empfehlenswert ein ebike zu nutzen, die allerdings völlig überteuert sind. Die Rad Reiseführer verdienen ein Lob! Wir werden definitiv nicht mehr mit boat and bike reisen.

It was a wonderful experience. Elf and Angela were incredible. They explained everything perfectly. My husband and I were very grateful for all their help. They were super great leaders.

The tour was a wonderful active adventure filled with delicious views, scents, people, foods and beverages! A complete disconnect from “normal” and who doesn’t need that for a week?

Boat Bike Tours: Europe’s leading operator for boat and bike tours in The Netherlands and the rest of Europe

Boat Bike Tours offers 8 day-tours by bike and barge. Experience our unique combination of cycling and cruising: you will explore a region and discover all there is to see in the beautiful places along our routes. We offer wonderful bike rides over beautiful cycle paths in about 15 European countries, where you’ll be cycling at your own pace or in a group with an experienced tour guide.

By using the detailed maps, GPS and travel information, you can stop at the sights you would like to visit along the route. If you don’t feel like cycling, you can always decide to stay on board for a day. For each of our tours, we have pointed out the possible types of guidance and the intensity of the cycling routes with icons.

Your accommodation is aboard one of our ships or sailing ships, in well-equipped cabins that provide a comfortable stay and a different view every morning. We have a variety of cabin types, with different comfort levels and extras; all of them have private bathrooms. On all of our ships you’ll enjoy good food (breakfast, a take-out lunch, and a three-course dinner), drinks and an international traveling party.
