Tulip Tour - Bike & Boat Holland's Famous Tulip Fields
the perfect way to experience Holland's beauty, history and charms. Our guides were knowledgeable , experienced , entertaining and ( in the case of our trip) resourceful in case of the unexpected. The barge staff were equally amazing. I Highly recommend this adventure for biking community members.

Tulip Tour - Bike & Boat Holland's Famous Tulip Fields
Excellent vacation travelling on meandering paths through farm land. Cheese and tulips! Perfect tour. The Iris barge was great. Had everything we needed. The crew was very attentive to our needs and the bike guides were knowledgeable, friendly and patient. Best done with an electric bike.

So much fun!
Holland’s Southern Relax Tulip Tour
What a lovely way to get to know Holland. Our guide, Arie, was excellent - warm, knowledgeable, funny, and kind. The chef, Emile, was fantastic. I didn’t expect such delicious, thoughtful meals. He accommodated everyone with a smile, and was extremely helpful.
The cycling days were just right - a good mix of countryside, small towns, canals, and windmills pretty much every day. Arie was patient with the group and made sure everyone was comfortable. Staying on the barge was convenient, since it meant we could unpack our things.
The barge experienced some mechanical challenges, but the captain and crew were responsive, positive, and communicative throughout. I don’t feel it negatively impacted the tour.- What was the date of your tour?

Surpassed expectations
Best of Holland South: Canals, Windmills & Historic Towns
I had a few days off prior to a conference. What a perfect way to see the countryside, get over a long haul flight and jet lag. I chose the tour mostly for convenience but loved (almost every) minute of it! The bike, the route, the countryside , tbe towns, the windmills, the sand dunes, the hotels were so delightful I smiled like a child at Christmas for most of the trip. The hour or so cycling through the garden areas are not interesting out of season but that was a minor detraction on what was a fabulous reviver of a trip. Thank you to Pieter for his support and kind attention. Highly recommended.

Positive Experience, with a bit of extra effort
Best of Holland North: Dutch Villages, Landscapes & the Keukenhof
The e-bikes provided were top of the line, with the appropriate accessories of bags and locks. (We were glad we booked e-bikes because, while the landscape is flat, we needed the power to overcome the sustained winds in the North.) Orientation was clear and friendly, with a great local person. All of our bags transferred seamlessly throughout the trip. Three of the four boutique hotels booked for us were well-styled - but those three did not have elevators.
The tour route provided via Ride with GPS was fine but without customization or annotation to reflect the interests we had expressed. A separate and limited list of potential sites along the way was provided, but none of them were identified on RwGPS, so we relied primarily on our own research to enrich the route with stops and side visits that added value.
Perhaps the biggest issue was that we had a tough time trying to meet the 3pm bike return on the last day - and were ultimately a little late and under pressure. We typically needed until 6pm each day to enjoy the sites along the way and would recommend that the last day be scheduled as a full day before bike returns.

Brilliantly organized, fabulous, interesting route
Best of Holland South: Canals, Windmills & Historic Towns
A huge thanks for a fabulous trip! Pieter patiently spent over an hour at the start of the trip explaining the finer details of the bike’s operation and security guidelines and the ride with gps app was the perfect way to provide autonomy without having the hassle of working out your own route. The route was interesting and varied with each night spent in a charming town oozing character but away from the main tourist traps. The luggage transfer was perfectly executed and Pieter checked in regularly to make sure everything was okay. Bravo and merci! Highly recommend and would happily do another trip!

I feel lucky!
Tulip Tour on the Magnifique II, III, & IV
It was a privilege to travel with your crew on the Magnifique Iii! The accommodations were very comfortable, and the food was spectacular! I was on a standard bike at 64+, and was proud - and a little sore - riding the “ long route” each day, We were lucky with the weather, and had splendid views of the tulips. I suggest, though, that you consider having two guides per groups of twentyish cyclists. Volunteer “ sweepers” did not provide the confidence of safety one would prefer. This trip goes through some urban areas where those of us unfamiliar with biking protocol in the Netherlands felt unsafe, and one of our guides, Marcel, provided rather sketchy directions and then proceeded through an intersection or roundabout rather cavalierly. Many of us on the trip were over sixty, and the possibility of an accident was very real and scary - indeed, two people in his group had falls the first day, and one did not get on a bike again for the rest of the trip. Please consider adding secondary guides, even if that means raising prices. Finally, a shout out to Cori - so well - informed about culture and history, so patient with our questions. I would follow her anywhere. I wrote a poem commemorating the trip which I shared with Captain Peter - please feel free to use it.

Relaxing tour around the Netherlands
Tulip Tour on the Magnifique II, III, & IV
Early April in the Netherlands is beautiful and unpredictable. Our tour group navigated our day to day travel perfectly. They adjusted to the riders, weather, and many other factors with grace and positive attitudes. I think the tours themselves attract positive people who are flexible and willing to adjust, because this group of strangers from all over Europe and the US got along like a group of old friends. At the end of the day we enjoys 3 to 4 course amazing meals and shared stories from home. The tulips, windmills, gardens, and towns were great to see, but it was the people that made this tour so amazing. A huge thanks to everyone that worked the Magnifique II during my tour.

Excellent Tour
Best of Holland South: Canals, Windmills & Historic Towns
A cycling tour of South Holland was an excellent way to experience the beauty of the Netherlands. The routes showcased a stunning variety of landscapes, including canals, cities, windmills, farms, ferry crossings, and coastal sand dunes. The modern hotels offered warm welcomes and hearty breakfasts, making the journey both comfortable and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Pretty good but not great
Holland’s Southern Relax Tulip Tour
The dates of the tour were past the prime time for the tulips. This should have been made clear from the very beginning. Our guide had to turn around a few times because his directions were not clear. My bicycle seat was poorly set up. It needed adjusting every day. The gear levers were crooked and never fixed. The bicycles in general were not as good as I have seen on other tours.
