CyclingCycling, we are crazy about cycling in the Netherlands. Our tiny little country has no less than 19 million bicycles for only 17 million inhabitants. We use our bicycles to go to school and work and we even go shopping on our bicycle. And during our free time? Well, then we go for a ride on our bicycle just for fun, with a pick-nick spread and sandwich for the road. Our little ones are sitting along in the front or on the back and they start cycling along with their own little bicycles from about three years of age, the elderly join us on their e-bikes. With more than 35,000 kilometers (22,000 miles) in bicycle paths we can continue riding our bicycles infinitely. Cycling, well this is something we do just about our entire lives here in the Netherlands.

CruisingBoating is another thing the Dutch like to do. Professionally, for the purpose of commercial transportation or in order to maintain our waterways. And of course also for fun: in a sailboat, a motor yacht or even in a comfortable passenger vessel. The Netherlands consists out of nearly 20% water: the North Sea, large and small lakes, canals, rivers and ditches make sure we always have the possibility to keep changing our route. A large section of our country (26%) lies below sea level. Windmills, pumping stations, dikes and locks make our countryside beautiful while also keeping our feet dry.

Cycling and cruisingBoat Bike Tours combines these two typical Dutch elements: for more than 35 years we have been offering vacations on bike & boat. We are permanently expanding our package by developing new tours and contracting new ships. In 2016 the premium passenger barge Magnifique II, provided with 18 luxury cabins, will be commissioned and put into service and, like its sister ship Magnifique, will provide attractive and fully catered cycling cruises in Belgium and the Netherlands.

Holland or the Netherlands?

Internationally, ‘Holland’ is often used to indicate the Netherlands. The official name of our country is the (Kingdom of the) Netherlands. North and South Holland are the two provinces that together make Holland. Due to the maritime and economic power of these provinces in the 17th century, the Netherlands became known worldwide as Holland. To make matters even more confusing the inhabitants of the Netherlands are called Dutch.

Cycling and cruising perhaps the most Dutch way of traveling

A room with a view

You usually leave the ship between 8:30 and 9:30. While the boat is travelling to the next harbour, you set off on your cycle ride, over mostly quiet paths and lanes and past all the interesting sights. The daily cycling distance varies – depending on your trip – from around 25 to 60 kilometres. Every day you will have lots of time to go sightseeing, explore the towns and villages, enjoy a break at a café or visit one of the many museums en route. At the end of the day you will be welcomed back aboard by the crew, where you will be able to chat with the other guests (different nationalities) about your interesting day.

Do you not feel like cycling? Then stay aboard to enjoy watching the countryside sail by. Simply find a nice spot on the sun deck or in the salon. That is what is so perfect about our Bike and Barge Tours!

You can spend the evening in the salon, at the bar or outside on deck. The tour guides will tell you about next day’s cycle ride and there will be several city walks for you to go on. Of course if you would rather explore on your own, that is fine too. The barges are usually docked close to or in the town centre, making sure the sights, museums and shops are all in walking or cycling distance.

Your hotel room will be sailing along with you on your Bike and Barge Tour. You will not have to move from room to room and have to keep unpacking. You will spend every night in the same bed, but with a new view every day!

Crew on boardThe crew consists of a captain, a sailor, a chef, and a hostess, as well as and the tour guide. They will welcome you aboard, maintain the ship on course, take care of the elaborate breakfast buffet and three-course dinner. The crew will also serve your drinks, keep the ship clean and tidy, take care of your bicycles on board of the ship or on the quay and tell you many interesting facts along the way. In short: the crew will do anything and everything to make your stay onboard as comfortable as possible. Plus they will do this in a pleasantly relaxed manner which is certainly characteristically Dutch.

Individual, self guided cycle tours and guided toursIndividual, self guided cycle tours (Citycruise)You go on your cycle ride every day at your own speed with the help of detailed maps and travel information. Travel guides will also be cycling the route in case of emergencies or an accident and can be reached by mobile phone.

Guided tours (Tuliptours)You will cycle in a group every day with an experienced tour guide. The tour guides always speak English.

The tours between Amsterdam and Bruges and Bruges and Brussels can be taken individually or with a tour guide.

On board and on the road

GuestsWe always have a very international group aboard. A large part of our guests are over 50 and from all kinds of different countries, but we also have families with children aboard who love our holidays and often come back. Children are very welcome on our Bike and Barge Tours, but please do make sure to check if a child can cycle daily distances of 30 – 60 kilometres before booking. Of course you can always opt to stay aboard for one or more days (children up to the age of 18 have to be under adult supervision).

LevelMost of the cycle routes are classified as ‘easy’, because most of the way is over flat paths, so nearly all our trips are suitable for all cyclists, from very experienced to beginners and recreational cyclists with a basic level of fitness. Of course we cannot control the direction of the wind, which can make some routes heavier going some times!

Meals and drinksYou are served a nutritious and varied breakfast every day, after which you make your own packed lunch (sandwiches, fruit and something to drink). In the evenings you will be served a delicious three-course meal. Vegetarian meals are possible at no surcharge. Other diets (like gluten free or for lactose intolerance) are possible at a surcharge. Various drinks (such as coffee, tea, beer, wine, water, soft drinks) are available at the bar (for a fee).

www.boatbiketours.com/bikeandbarge

There are some bike helmets available on board (free).There are also e-bikes available, but in a limited number (early booking recommendable).

The Netherlands and Belgium

Holland and Flanders (8 days)

Making the trip between Amsterdam and Bruges by boat and bicycle is a fascinating, varied journey through two countries. In Holland, the western part of the Netherlands, you will be cycling along the winding Vecht and Lek rivers dotted with beautiful mansions, villas and small castles and through the typical flat and open Dutch scenery near Kinderdijk, where you can admire no less than 19 windmills in a row! The boat docks in the historic port of Dordrecht, one of the oldest towns of the Netherlands. Via the province of Zeeland, with its open water, you will cross the border into Flanders, where you will follow the beautiful cycle paths along the tidal river the Schelde to port and city of diamonds Antwerp, Dendermonde and Ghent. Take your time visiting these inner cities: there is so much to see. The jewel on this tour’s crown is probably world-famous Bruges, also known as the Pearl of Flanders. This cycling and sailing holiday through the western part of the Netherlands and north-western Belgium really gives you the chance to get experience both countries. You can depart from Amsterdam or Bruges.

May 5, 2015: Les WallaceExcellent value, cannot be faulted! From the time you step on board you feel at home. Friendly, professional staff help to create a relaxed sailing and cycling experience. My wife and I have now enjoyed two trips with Boat Bike Tours and are looking forward to the next time.

May 4, 2015: DanielleWonderful experienceThis was the perfect way to see The Netherlands at a leisurely pace while still feeling like I was on holiday. I was a single female traveler in my late twenties and felt right at home in our varied group. We had families, couples, and groups of friends ranging from 3-83. Those who needed more assistance were strapped on the back of another bike (the children) or rode and ebike (the well seasoned travelers). The boat fit everyone beautifully and it’s cozy ambiance felt like home. The guided tour was fantastic and everyone involved was very flexible! I was on the first tour of the season and the weather was about uncooperative as it could be. We had to make daily changes of plans...but we never would had know it if we hadn’t been given a detailed itinerary at the beginning of the trip. The rearranged schedule ran as smoothly as if it was planned in the first place. We were all well taken care of and enjoyed delicious meals and excellent service. Well worth the price and I would recommend this tour to anyone!

Reviews

April 3, 2015: Gary and Pat, San Diego, CaliforniaCompletely satisfied -- twice!We sailed aboard the “Magnifique” in 2013 (the Amsterdam-region tour) and 2014 (Flanders & Netherlands tour). On each trip, we were treated royally by Captain Walter and his crew; we enjoyed the beautiful and interesting daily bike tours; and delighted in being part of a small, friendly group of fellow travelers for several days. We have been recommending BoatBike tours to friends and family alike since our 2013 trip -- and hope to return for another trip someday soon.

April 2, 2015: John Sylvan and Denise SullivanExcellent staff and great foodOne of favorite vacations and we take 8 weeks a yearWe did the Bruges to Brussels trip and would rate it as one of our favorite vacations ever. The staff of the boat was excellent, the food was great and the company was friendly. Although we were one of only 2 American couples, the rest of the passengers did their best to talk with us. We are not “hard core” biking enthusiast, but we are in good shape. Belgium is probably the best place in the world to cycle. First there are no hills (the country is below sea level), and second they have hundreds of miles of bike trails. We were almost never riding on a motorway. Most of the other passengers, including ourselves, were in their 50s and 60s. Our only problem was we would stop for lunch and have a few excellent Belgium beers. The riding afterwards was more difficult.

April 2, 2015: Charlotte and Al, FloridaFor adventurous independent travelersFrom the booking experience through to the end of the trip, exceeded expectations. This was our second trip and we will be back for a third trip this summer. We were equipped with enough information to enjoy the sights along the route and could explore at our own pace. The food is wonderful. The cabins are snug but comfortable. Try to pack light and you will be fine. Bikes are suitable for the terrain. Fellow passengers are a treat. Staff is truly interested in you having a good time. Loved it, loved it, loved it.
