My husband and I did the Brussels to Bruges tour and had an excellent experience. The staff were very helpful and responsive. My initial bike turned out to be too large for me, but the staff responded quickly, found a replacement and dropped off at our first stop in Mechelen. We chose hybrid bikes. They were in good shape, and we had no problems with them throughout the trip. The luggage transport was seamless. We dropped the bags off in the hotel lobby in the morning, and they were at our next location when we arrived. The ride out of Brussels was a little hilly, but the rest of the tour was basically flat. The company provides both pdf maps and downloadable gps maps. We downloaded the Fietsknoop app to our phones and used the gps maps exclusively. It takes a little trial and error, but once I figured it out, it's very cool app and concept. TBH I used the app to make a new, shorter path for ourselves on our final ride into Bruges, and it worked out great! For those booking in the summer, I recommend ensuring that your BnB has air conditioning, most of ours were air conditioned. Also, make note of how far the BnBs are from the city center, consider the price/location tradeoff. The farthest we were out was a 15 minute ride. Overall, I highly recommend this tour and this company!

We loved the trip. Flawless organization, great accomdations, and a well though route through great cities, lovely villages, and bordering rivers, canals (the ferry transfer was a nice touch), and fields. Once you get your stride, it is very liberating to know Belgium at your own pace, covering a lot of ground and relaxing at the same time. Belgium is a dense country so it is just perfect for this kind of trip. In a matter of minutes the landscape changes from medieval village to canal to horse farms to park. Congratulations for the organization, and thank you a lot!
