Nobody does springtime in the Netherlands quite like VBT. We’ve planned for you an itinerary of cycling past windmills and polder villages followed by relaxing on your group’s private Dutch barge. As your cozy ship floats along the local network of canals, you’ll cycle easy paths past massive fields of blossoms, stopping to learn about the history of tulips, daffodils, and other bulbs at the unique garden museum Hortus Bulborum. Visit the family home of farmers in Gouda—and learn about the famous cheese-making traditions there. During this exceptional springtime bicycling vacation, your experienced VBT Trip Leaders and dedicated barge crew will open the doors to the most celebrated season in the Netherlands.
Tour Highlights
- Cycle through Holland’s iconic landscapes of canals, windmills, and flower-filled countryside.
- Step inside historic working windmills and discover how they shaped the Dutch landscape.
- Experience the brilliance of spring at Keukenhof Gardens and the rare historic blooms of the Hortus Bulborum flower museum.
- Ride through the peaceful “Green Heart” of Holland, a pastoral region of meadows, lakes, and traditional villages.
- Explore charming canal cities—including Haarlem, Leiden, and Gouda—rich in history, art, and local culture.
It was an amazing experience. We biked through beautiful fields of tulips and gorgeous Dutch landscape. Our group was awesome and the best part of all was our awesome leaders, Marinj, Peter and Werner they made the bike trip so much fun. Whether you are a casual or seasoned rider, this bike tour promises an unforgettable adventure filled with scenic landscape, rich cultural experiences and lasting memories.
