The bike tour offers a unique perspective of the city, allowing you to explore parts of Amsterdam that are difficult to reach on foot. As you ride through the streets, you will pass by some of the city’s most iconic locations such as Vondelpark, The Jordaan, and the Amsterdam Canal Ring. You’ll also visit the famous De 9 Straatjes shopping area and Centraal Station, and ride by the gates of Amsterdam’s renowned museums, including the NEMO Science Museum, Rijksmuseum, and the Van Gogh Museum. Your expert guide will share fascinating stories and historical insights along the way, making this tour not just a ride, but a journey through the heart of the city.
The tour includes a bike rental, so you can comfortably enjoy the ride through Amsterdam's vibrant streets. After the bike tour, you’ll get to unwind with a relaxing 1-hour canal cruise. The cruise offers a new perspective of the city’s most emblematic canals. The boat features a glass-top roof, comfortable interiors, and an expert audio guide, ensuring the best views of the canals and their beautiful surroundings. What makes this experience even more special is the eco-friendly nature of the canal cruise, as it is operated by silent, solar-powered boats that are gentle on the environment. Your guides will also tailor the tour to your group's interests, so the experience will always be personalized to what fascinates you most about the city.

Impossible to say enough good things about our Bike Boat adventure last week from Amsterdam to Bruges. Bikes were well maintained, trip was nicely organized, and EVERYONE on the staff was professional, helpful and extremely friendly. This is a great concept - bike through some of the most scenic areas of the Netherlands and Belgium each day, and relax on the boat in the evening. And the price was VERY reasonable, given all the amenities and level of service. Guides were great the the chef was a fun and funny guy (and great cook, too!). Oh, and the weather was perfect for the whole trip! They have guides available, but having the routes on Ride With GPS was a game changer - easy to operate, and easy to follow. I've already recommended this adventure to friends, and we're looking forward to booking another one in the future.
This premium tulip bike ride on the Lena Marie starting in Amsterdam was FABULOUS! Capitan Martyn navigated our boat and keep the staff working like a well oiled machine! The boat VP (mate) Andy was a delight and always had a smile for us! Our chefs Gert and Jytsk were fantastic and kept us well fed! Our Hostest Joke made sure we were comfortable had what we needed at all times! Our tour leaders Alfons & Jerone were very knowledgeable about the area and taught us a lot, directed us from one spot to another despite surprise trail closures, and maintained our bikes. When we returned home to the boat from a ride, we just hopped off our bikes and the crew got them put away as well as charged our e-bikes each night. We would love to do another trip!
Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars Fleur Boat Bike tour from Montargis to Paris (Melun) The team (captain Jean Marie, chef Steffie, sailor Maikel, Hostess Franziska and tour guides Carol & Valérie) on the Fleur is good: Cheerful, attentive and hardworking. Every meal was delicious. The barge is small. It has to be in order to fit the narrow locks. It is CLEAN and well appointed. The scenery was very nice. Our tour guides seemed new to this particular tour. We got “lost” briefly at least twice a day. This is understandable since, in France, there isn’t a great network of bike paths like there is in Belgium, Germany, and Holland. Carol shared interesting facts of history about the places we stopped. Both guides were enthusiastic and kind. We all adopted a wry attitude when, almost daily, the promised café or pub was closed. It was good to meet up with the barge in the afternoon instead of stopping once again. The guides and sailor were vigilant in maintaining the bicycles. The e-bikes had been ridden many kilometres, and it showed. There were a few repairs done en route as well. We especially enjoyed: -Apiculture’s Living Museum -Jardin Bourdelle -Saint Séverin (the wash house) -Ville de Grez-dur-Loing -Visiting the bridge of the ship (rainy trip to Melun) -FONTAINEBLEAU Tips -Pack light. We avoided long lineups at every airport because we had only carry-on luggage. -Unless you are cycling outside this tour, don't bring a bike helmet. They are provided. -Rent one of the e-bikes. This tour is definitely level 2 in difficulty. There were a few long hills to go up. Those with regular bikes struggled. -Keep a good distance between your bike and the one ahead. Not everyone will be experienced with cycling in groups and hand signals. On this tour the guides lacked experience with the route. Some sudden stops or turns lead to issues for those who hadn’t left enough space. -Do bring a gel seat cover. The seats on the bikes are just okay. They were much more comfortable with an additional squishy layer. -Do bring water-PROOF raingear, top and bottom including good quality shoe covers. Bring an extra pair of shoes. - Do get a data package (eSim). This was so easy and useful on the whole tour. Note: -It’s only a 1-hour train ride from Paris (Gare de Bercy) to Montargis (118 km). Therefore, this tour is meandering. One doesn’t go from one large centre to another. The longer daily routes are out in the country where there was not much to see. Much of the tour, cyclists share the road with motorized vehicles. It can get hectic in some spots. -Since the barge is on the small side, there is a maximum of 20 guests. On ours, everyone opted for the long route each day. Therefore, we were 1 large group cycling together. -For those with pet allergies: Steffie, who owns the barge, has a dog. "Bas" is well behaved and friendly and most of the guests loved having him aboard. -There is not much to do in Montargis. It is beautiful, but 1 full day is enough. The start/end of the tour, the barge stays put for 2 nights. We wished we had spent an extra day in Paris instead. We really appreciated that Boat Bike tours provided a bus from Melun to Paris. The Paralympics were just finishing, so docking at the usual final location wasn't permitted. If we had known this, we might have chosen a different tour. But it worked out just fine. Another visit to Paris is in our future. But next time (2026?), we will cycle with Boat Bike tours in the Netherlands and/or Germany. We will check that the points of departure and arrive are at least 200 km apart. And we will make sure at least one has guru walks available, which would indicate there is a lot to see. If you want to do a great tour with this company, we highly recommend the one between Bruges and Amsterdam.
Just finished a Boat and Bike tour from Amsterdam to Bruges on the Magnifique IV fantastic accommodations on the barge and out chef Michel fixed wonderful meals. Our guides Ronald and Peter were full of knowledge about the areas we rode through. The e bike was a wonderful Way to pedal through the low counties! I would highly recommend this trip.
We did the premium tulip 8-day tour, and our guides Hans & Hetty made our trip! They are lovely people and great guides. The route was lovely, and the scenery was amazing. Our chef was amazing, and meals were a treat. I will do it all again soon
