The cruise was amazing
The best barge experience ever! The cruise was amazing, the tours informative and interesting, the staff attentive to even the smallest detail. Have already booked our next cruise!
The 5-day Tulip Tour
We had a fantastic time aboard the barge for the Tulip Tour with Jens and Marleen as our guides. Many of the boat crew were delightful, and the food was excellent. If there were any issues on the ship, the crew were quick to address them. The group of passengers on our boat were all very nice and a quick camaraderie was formed between us all. The bike tour itself was outstanding. We opted for regular bikes, but many on our boat had e-bikes. The Dutch mountains (fierce headwinds) did make an a...
Netherlands and Belgium: Amsterdam-Bruges Premium
The first leg of our trip was aboard our barge for 8 days and it was marvelous. The ship, furnishings and bikes were in great shape, and the crew, guides and scenery were second to none. Plenty of good food and drink, for any waistline. Thanks so much for reorganizing this trip as many times as you did, to make it happen in these unsettled times.
Dalmatia Trip
We have been on several biking/ boating tours, and this was by far the best! I recommend the Pearls of Dalmatia. We filled all 14 cabins with our friends, which made it more special. The best part of the trip, other than the stunningly beautiful southern Croatian islands, was the crew. The ships crew and guides could not have been better. They were all friendly, informative, very customer- oriented, but mostly they were FUN! I recommend going Dubrovnik to Split, south to north, as well. Islan...
Venice to Mantua
The Mantua to Venice tour was amazing! I can't say enough about how wonderful this experience was. Italy is amazing always, but in this case, it was the staff and tour leaders that made this vacation so memorable. The tour guides took such great care of us - really trying to make our riding enjoyable. The boat staff (including the guides) were obviously happy to be there, worked very well together as a team and made it their mission to make us happy. The food was great, the boat was cle...
Portugal Food and Walking Tours
Everything about the trip was wonderful. If you want an experience of the parts of Portugal the locals love, book this tour. We went to the best restaurants and tastings. Our experience with chef Vasco in Arcos de Valdevez was incredible. He opened his doors and treated us like family. This is not a bus tour with a group listening on a headset. Our guide Cristiane was professional in every way and provided an incomparable experience. - April 2022
5 Day Tulip Tour
I really enjoyed our Tour of the Netherlands. I loved biking every day. The pace was just right and we were allowed enough time to stop and look around. The food on the ship was excellent. Our cabin on the ship was excellent too. It was great to meet other tourists on the ship and have someone to share meals with. I highly recommend this type of vacation - April 2022
5 Day Tulip Tour
I just came back from a 5-day Tulip Tour. The barge is adorable and the staff (Captain, Sailor, 2 hostess and 2 tour guides) were all top notch! The crew worked together like a well oiled machine and made sure all the guests had a great time. The bike tours were great and we saw plenty of flowers (specially tulips) with a lot of exercise. We got back to the barge every afternoon with time to explore the village before or after dinner...My only advice...Rent an e-bike...the wind can be really ...

8 Day Tulip Tour
My husband and I just completed the 8 day Tulip Tour. It was fabulous in every way. The ship is beautiful, comfortable, and well maintained. Every staff member went out of their way to be sure all passengers were happy and well taken care of. The food was outstanding! Michael surprised us every day when we returned from riding with a special culinary delight. I highly recommend this trip! - April 2022
Tulip Tour
My husband and I loved the Tulip Tour Bike and Barge trip. The barge was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the wonderful meals, and we looked forward to the chef’s announcement each evening of the dinner we were about to be served! The two leaders were outstanding! Each day was well organized, with the perfect combination of biking and sightseeing. The biking routes were scenic, with rest stops along the way at quaint cafes and villages. Safety was paramount, and I appreciated that...
8 Day Tulip Tour review
Our very first tour was the eight day Tulip Premium Tour on the Fleur. We had high hopes for the adventures and they were met and exceeded ten fold. The tour was fabulous from start to finish and I can enthusiastically recommend this tour, boat, staff, and guides. The bikes were excellent, accommodations and food were outstanding, and I felt encouraged and supported throughout the trip. Special kudos to the amazing guides Marianne and Gijsbert who really were outstanding! Two thumbs - and eig...
