"Loved eating on the barge - more relaxing Chef provided a delicious variety! Loved packing lunches - flexible & healthier."
Netherlands Tulips Bike & Barge Spring Tour
Bike & Boat Tours
The ultimate fun and simple way to travel is a bike & boat tour! You unpack once, and your floating hotel meets you at the end of the day's cycling. What could be easier?
Our bike & barge tours in the Netherlands and on the Moselle River in Germany/Luxembourg/France offer the added benefit of mostly flat riding and smaller groups. There is a max of only 12 cabins on these comfort barges. And the staff, leaders and crew help make your trip a delight.
Plus, unlike on many barge tours, with us you have a van following the group to support your cycling ... as well as a leader who bikes along.
The E-Bike & Cruise Croatia tour has no follow van, but you have attentive leaders and your trusty e-bike to get you up and over the hills with ease. On these trips you cruise on a bit fancier craft — with all the amenities, plus a wonderful private chef.
