5.0 average rating






Bike and Barge Tours offers the best of Holland's people and scenery from a bike's saddle and a sailing ship's deck. We took the April Tulip Tour which was fantastic. We were able to see so much more than tulips however as we learned about Holland's historic and innovative battle with the water. The tour offered superb meals on board our three-mast sailing ship. Our Dutch guides were the best -- amiable and informative. I cannot recommend this company and tour enough.
