Holland Day Tours

Land of Bicycles

Cycle past windmills and tulip fields, or ride alongside canals and over quaint bridges on a bike tour in the world’s most cycle-friendly country: Holland. Visit the medieval city of Utrecht, cruise along the UNESCO-listed Canal Ring in Amsterdam, or ride through resplendent Rotterdam on a guided tour that will introduce you to life as a local in the lowlands.

Amsterdam is the cycling city of dreams, boasting wide and well-connected cycle paths throughout the city, and even multi-storey bike parking! Needless to say, there’s really no better way to discover the Netherlands’ center of culture than by bike tour. Stop by Anne Frank’s House and the Rijksmuseum on a city tour, or pedal into the picturesque surrounding countryside on a guided tour through the polder landscape to a traditional clog- and cheese-making farm.

  Rotterdam, the Netherlands’ second-largest city, is a bastion for innovative contemporary architecture as well as rich maritime heritage, once known as the ‘Gateway to the World’ as a result of its extensive transport links. Take a ride around Rotterdam to discover the curious Cube Houses designed by renowned architect Piet Blom, as well as the dynamic, renovated docklands area.

  Utrecht is known as the ‘City of Churches’ for its numerous religious buildings that serve as an insight into the Netherlands' long and varied religious history.
