We're considering a Bike and Barge Tour in April or May of 2025, ideally mostly in Netherlands, and perhaps Belgium. Any recommended such cruises or tours? Thanks.

If you head over to Trip Advisor Amsterdam forum this same question was asked and had replies. I believe the post was titled Barge and Bike' and was posted in past 2 weeks. You could look at that and Google the companies that were listed.
Good luck!

I considered a bike and barge tour for our trip to the Netherlands and Belgium in Late April and early May of this year. We waited too late really, to have a good choice, so you would want to start your booking process now.
I will add a comment that we ended up so very glad that we didn't choose a Bike and Barge trip because most of our trip was very cold and rainy with lots of wind, AND we both got quite sick. We did see the Bike and Barge folks out riding their bikes in the rain and the wind around the Keukenhof gardens. I do think they travel to what they see by bike regardless of the weather. Just good to know.

Years ago we took a bike and barge tour by Cycle Tours. It was great. You don’t have to ride when it is pouring rain, but why not? The food was great, btw.

Took a trip on bike and barge holland (based in Redmond WA) from Bruges to Amsterdam and had a blast. We are taking another one in September with same company Amsterdam to Bremen Germany. It is very small and low key but a really fun and relaxed time. The food onboard was great and the guides were simply amazing. You need to book early as they fill up quickly.
