Overview
The Netherlands and Belgium are a cycling paradise with bike paths, flat terrain and plenty to see and do along the way. On this bike and barge tour you will discover the southern region of Zeeland in the Netherlands and dip into the West Flanders region of Belgium. By day you’ll bicycle through polders (reclaimed wetlands rich for agriculture or pastureland) and small villages, in the evening you’ll sleep on a luxury barge. Cruise through canals and pedal along bike paths between the world famous cities of Amsterdam, Antwerp, Ghent, and Bruges. Visit iconic places like Gouda (pronounced Gowda) and taste its famous cheese. Pedal past the famous windmills of Kinderdijk and delve deep into local culture when we meet local cheese farmers and visit a working windmill.***If this sounds great but you prefer a longer trip, check out our Bike and Barge: Amsterdam to Bruges Plus!

rare opportunity to stay on a barge and see the area from the water, and then bike through the countryside. Good mix of activity.

I have sung the praises of this entire trip. My best friend is already looking at booking this tour next year. My husband says, best vacation ever.

Easy rides along fascinating canals in a countryside designed for bike travel. Accommodations on a comfortable barge with a lovely crew and delicious dinners.
