With gentle, mostly flat routes and plenty of stops designed for relaxed, enjoyable cycling, this tour blends cycling, culture, and adventure.

Holland’s landscapes are a storybook brought to life: vibrant green fields, tranquil canals, and coastal dunes stretch as far as the eye can see.

Zaanse Schans offers a glimpse into Dutch heritage, where visitors can see windmills in action, watch wooden clogs being made, and visit a chocolate and cookie museum for a sweet treat.

Along the shores of Lake IJsselmeer, quiet villages like Hoorn and Medemblik invite you to pause for an ice cream or a lakeside rest. For a touch of excitement, you can hop on the optional steam train ride, a nostalgic journey through picturesque countryside.

On this Holland cycling tour, you’ll follow safe bike paths through coastal dunes, vibrant villages, and countryside dotted with waterways, where you can cross streams on hand-operated ferries or pause for a picnic surrounded by nature.

And for those visiting in spring, an extra day at the Keukenhof Gardens offers a dazzling display of blooming tulips, creating a vibrant palette of color unlike anything else in the world.

We take care of everything – your accommodations are pre-booked, luggage transfer keeps your ride light and carefree, and our detailed itineraries, GPS routes, and round-the-clock support ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

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 the 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.

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! Please feel free to customize your itinerary and create your own adventure, with as much free time as you need. There are no set timelines (except having to reach your accommodation by the evening), so you can spend the days as you please.

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.

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.
