Nobody does springtime in Holland 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 Holland’s 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 Holland’s most celebrated season.
Tour Highlights
- Cycle through Holland’s iconic spring landscapes of tulip fields, coastal dunes, canals, and historic villages.
- Ferry to Texel Island, the largest of the West Frisian Islands, for a memorable ride through seaside dunes, pasturelands, and charming Dutch hamlets.
- Experience the brilliance of Keukenhof Gardens and the rare heirloom blooms of Hortus Bulborum, two extraordinary celebrations of the Netherlands’ floral heritage.
- Pedal North Holland’s scenic coastlines and dike-ringed countryside, from West Friesland and Anna Paulowna’s “Little Keukenhof” to Bergen’s artistic enclave and Haarlem’s elegant canals.
- Discover the rich cultural treasures of the Netherlands through visits to Alkmaar, Leiden, and Delft—home to cheese traditions, historic canals, Vermeer, and iconic Delft Blue ceramics.
