Do you have a barge tour in September that we can take without the biking option? If you don't, can my wife and I do the Oct 12 tour and not do the biking?

Yes, it is always possible to stay on board. We don't operate a cruising company. You will be on board with the crew, and it is a beautiful trip. When we are moored in a stopover town or village which is mostly the case around 4 pm, there is enough time to get into town and visit some local specialities. But, on the other hand, if you don't bike you will miss all points of interest that you would have seen while biking. I would suggest to stay on board and get along with the bikers on some days and see how that works.

When will the 2024 tour schedule be available?

Most of our 2024 tours are already online, and additional details can be shared upon request via our website.

Info re single supplement please

There are single cabins available for this trip. The price of this tour for a single traveller is €1690; bike rental €120 for a hybrid regular bike or €210 for an e-bike. The price of the tour includes multi lingual tour guide, 7x breakfast, 7x lunch and 6x (3 course) dinner per week. For celiac, gluten-free, lactose-free or vegan diet additional charge of € 80,- per per person/per week when you order the diet when booking and € 120,- per diet/ per person/per week when ordering on spot.

What is your cancellation policy?

For cancellations, please refer to the terms provided during booking, as they vary by tour and conditions.

Can I stay on the barge without biking during the trip?

Yes, you can choose to stay on board and enjoy the scenery without participating in the biking.

Are meals included during the tour?

Most tours include some meals, but it's essential to confirm the specific meal details in the itinerary provided before your trip.

Is it possible to have a single cabin for a solo traveller on any of your departures between Adam and Bruges? Is it possible to hire an ebike? Is it possible to stay on the barge and not do a day's ride?

The Amsterdam - Bruges tour is only made once a year, when we leave the Netherlands after the Tulip tours. We stay in Belgium and France for the whole Summer season until Oct. 13 when we return from Bruges to Amsterdam. In 2025 Amsterdam-Bruges starts May 5. There are two single cabins, but one is available for this tour and I expect the second to be booked very fast. There are e-bikes. You don't have to bike if you don't want. In fact, staying on board is another way to experience the country side in very pleasant and interesting way.

Do you have any slots for solo travelers available on this trip? If so, what is the cost of the single supplement?

It's the last trip of our season, and the 2 single cabins are taken, but I think there will be a cabin available. Yes there is a single charge, you can find it on the TR website.

How can I request additional bike helmets for the trip?

Requests for additional bike helmets can be made via email or during the registration process.

What is the difference between luxury and standard cabins?

Luxury cabins offer more space and exclusive amenities, while standard cabins are more basic but still privative.

  When do you think you'll know if there's an opening for a solo traveler? I'm very interested in this tour.
- Feniks CharterOperator•Written July 2024
  There was an option but clients never reacted again, so here we go. I can accept your booking as a single traveler for a standard cabin. Do you already know what kind of bike you want? Hybrid 24 gear or e-bike? Hybrid costs €100, e-bike €195.
