Discover the unique cycling experiences in Holland with self-guided tours tailored to your preferences. Whether you’re a seasoned cyclist or a beginner, traveling alone or with your family, our bike-friendly roads, forest trails, and diverse landscapes offer something for everyone.
Holland, situated at the heart of Europe, boasts stunning nature and views. On the one hand, you will ride alongside the Atlantic Ocean, with long sandy beaches, canals, polders, and gusts of wind with that unique, salty taste. On the other hand, Holland offers an incredible amount of historic towns, local delicacies, and natural monuments, such as famous tulip fields or world-renowned windmills.
Choose from a range of difficulty levels to ensure a memorable and enjoyable experience for cyclists of all ages and abilities. On our Family Bike tours, you will find the days that are tailor-made for young families that love to enjoy their time together on a bike and learn more about the country that surrounds them.
If you’re up for a challenge, our Road Cycling tours will take you through the most scenic parts of Holland, testing your stamina on long and strenuous stages, but the views will be well worth the struggle. Enjoy smooth roads with minimal traffic and stunning views each day.
For a more relaxed pace, opt for our Trekking Cycling tours and immerse yourself in the diversity of Holland’s roads, trails, and countryside. Experience the changing scenery while riding a comfortable regular or electric bicycle with the help of our detailed self-guided maps. Join us for an amazing cycling adventure in Holland!
We offer road cycling, trekking cycling and mountain biking holidays.
Our road cycling holidays are suitable for avid road cycling enthusiasts whose endurance is high enough to withstand multiple long cycling days in a row.
Our trekking cycling holidays are suitable for anyone, as the stages are short enough for most people, and the terrain is not technical — mostly tarmac and gravel. They will still be enjoyed most by people who cycle occasionally and feel comfortable with multiple days in a row on the saddle and some moderate climbing. For those looking for more leisurely cycling holidays, we offer an e-bike option.
On our guided tours, you will have professional local guides. Our guides will make sure that you will have expert guidance combined with great fun and a memorable experience.
We are always looking for the perfect fit for you. We use a few different accommodation providers that fit our standards but they are subjected to availability, especially in the high season. We can also adjust the holiday, keeping in mind your preferences and budget and can always find a more suitable solution for your taste.
We recommend booking as early as possible. Most of our tours run through very touristy places where accommodation is limited. Most of the great places start getting booked for summer before spring.
It really depends on the level of your restriction. Vegetarian options are fairly easy to find in Holland, also vegan dishes, but they may be a bit harder to find rural areas of the country and in smaller towns. Please note that the places where we stop for lunch are often traditional and may have difficulties accommodating you outside of their standard menu. We suggest you keep this in mind.
If you want to, sure! We are well aware that some people love to stay in groups while others prefer some more alone time on their trip. We wanted to give you the opportunity to do things your way. It is your holiday, after all! As long as you respect the group timings and locations designated by your guide, please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure!
Depending on the tour, generally, spring (April – May) and early autumn (September) are the best times, summer is of course also always great and some of our holidays are also possible in winter! It also depends on your preferences, if you wish to avoid heat, October can also be a great possibility.
Most of the tours can be done even in light rain, as long as you dress accordingly. It is not unusual in the summer that there are afternoon thunderstorms, so early starts are advisable. If the weather looks really bad, we will try to adjust the tour or skip a stage with a shuttle.
Our tours can be adapted to any bike type, whether road, gravel, or mountain bike. We are in constant communication with you to find the optimal conditions for your cycling holidays in Netherlands.
The most versatile option is a gravel bike, even if you are coming on a road cycling holiday. It does not really affect your road performance while allowing you to take some scenic backroads that can be in a slightly worse state than the main ones. A gravel bike is usually more comfortable as well.
