Overview

This brilliant bicycle tour takes you to some of the most beautiful cities in Holland and Flanders (Western Belgium), including: Amsterdam, Utrecht, Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges, cities where you can still feel the charm of days long gone. After embarking from Amsterdam, you will cross through a beautiful part of the Netherlands before biking along the winding Vecht River, known for the impressive mansions and country houses sitting commandingly on its banks. You'll reach Kinderdijk, with its UNESCO World Heritage windmills and real Dutch cheese farms for a dose of iconic Dutch culture.
