OPTIONAL EXTRAS
With gentle, mostly flat routes and plenty of stops tailored for all ages, this tour blends cycling, culture, and adventure in a way the whole family will love.
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 families 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.
Our Bikes
To ensure the best possible experience on your cycling adventure, we offer top-quality bikes for rent. Our fleet features the latest models, meticulously maintained for both performance and comfort.
To match each rider with the right equipment, our team will also assist you in selecting the most suitable bike based on your physical profile, personal preferences, and the technical requirements of the tour.

Road Bikes
Best for: Paved routes, longer distances, and climbs
Our road bikes are lightweight, fast, and built for endurance. They typically feature carbon or high-quality aluminium frames, smooth gearing, and reliable components—often Shimano 105 or similar. Well-suited for long days in the saddle, they’re perfect for climbs, steady cruising, and covering serious distance on tarmac.

Trekking Bikes
Best for: Multi-day touring, relaxed pace, and varied surfaces
These high-quality trekking bikes are built for comfort over multiple days. They feature a relaxed riding position, smooth-rolling wheels, and often come with practical additions like an adjustable stem, rear rack, or mudguards. They're not necessarily built for speed, but more for enjoying the ride.

Touring E-Bikes
Best for: Comfortable trekking, touring, longer distances, and hilly routes
These pedal-assist electric bikes are designed to make riding easier and more enjoyable—especially on longer or hillier routes. They come with powerful mid-drive motors, long-lasting batteries, and comfortable riding geometry for smooth support across varied terrain. With intuitive controls and quality components, they’re a great choice for riders who want extra assistance without giving up the feel of a real ride.

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.
