The country has more bicycles than there are people, and there is an excellent cycling infrastructure that includes over 35,000 kilometers of cycle paths. Explore the popular sites and landmarks of Amsterdam on a city cycling tour. Or saddle up for a multi-day cycling tour stopping at destinations such as Keukenhof, famed for its tulip fields; Utrecht, a picturesque city with medieval streets; and Giethoorn, a charming village connected by hand-dug canals and nicknamed the “Dutch Venice.” As most of Holland is flatland, touring the country on a bicycle is not that difficult.

“The accommodation was excellent with clean hotels and friendly staff. The trip through France was a little challenging being hilly and with distances of about 70 kms each day. Once we got to Belgium and Holland the terrain was flat and the cycling easy despite similar distances each day. Cycling in these countries is an absolute pleasure with great cycling infrastructure and very polite motorists who invariably give way.”

“Most enjoyable trip. We found the navigation a little challenging in parts, mainly due to the variable positioning of the Knooppunten. We were never held up for more than a few minutes, however, and having found our way gave a feeling of accomplishment. The cycles were comfortable and well- suited to the trails. Accommodation was comfortable. The scenery was interesting and attractive. All in all, a trip to be recommended.”
