The "Classic Holland Cycle" trip starts and ends in Amsterdam. It is a bicycle tour that takes 7 days taking you through Gouda, Delft and Leiden in Holland. "Classic Holland Cycle" is a self-guided private trip that includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

Discover the highlights of the Netherlands, including windmills, cheese tastings & Amsterdam. If you're looking for the quintessential Dutch cycling experience, look no further. This self guided cycling trip in The Netherlands combines several all-time favourite cities; Amsterdam, Haarlem, Leiden, Delft and Gouda, each unique and brimming with typical old world Dutch character. The ride is perfect for a first time cycle trip or for those looking to slow down the pace. Each day's cycling distance is relatively short, allowing you time to explore out of the saddle and take in the highlights of each city or linger en route over a cheese tasting or coffee. Between the cities, the cycling route meanders through the quiet Dutch countryside, where you will encounter polders, windmills, fields of flowers (in the spring time), lakes and rivers. The itinerary really does provide a week long experience of the classic Dutch cultural and countryside gems.
