Visit the world-famous tulip fields of Holland during spring and be amazed by the vibrant colours and beautiful scent of thousands of flowers. Starting and finishing in Amsterdam, you’ll ride along quiet paths lined by colourful blooms between a number of Holland’s most appealing cities.
Discover the historic city of Haarlem, with its impressive churches, museums and ‘Hofjes’, a square of small almshouses set around a beautiful courtyard. Ride on to Leiden, the birthplace of Rembrandt and home to gentle canals surrounded by beautiful 17th-century buildings. From here you can take an extra day to explore the world-famous Keukenhof flower garden. Flat routes and well-signposted paths make the cycling easy on this tour.
