Netherlands Tour for Women
A bike and barge journey through the picturesque countryside and villages of the Netherlands
Discover the Netherlands in full bloom on this unforgettable bike and barge tour designed exclusively for women. From the winding canals of Amsterdam to the tulip fields, windmills, and storybook villages of the Dutch countryside, this unique journey brings you deep into the heart of Holland, one pedal at a time.
We begin for two nights in Amsterdam with a welcome dinner and guided stroll through the city’s historic centre. Then we board the Fleur, our exclusively chartered barge and floating hotel for the week, and set off on a relaxed route through scenic landscapes and iconic towns. Each day, we cycle at a comfortable pace, thanks to our pedal-assisted e-bikes, passing through tulip fields, lakeside paths, and charming towns like Haarlem, Leiden, Gouda, and Alkmaar. Highlights include the spectacular Keukenhof Gardens, a visit to the world-famous flower auction in Aalsmeer, a cheese tasting at a local farm, and a visit to a traditional windmill museum. We’ll also explore the open-air village of Zaanse Schans, rich with historic windmills and wooden houses, and wrap up our journey with a canal cruise back in Amsterdam.
While the e-bikes provide gentle power support and make riding easier, this is still an active adventure. We’ll spend full days cycling (sometimes up to 45 km) and enjoy walking tours through towns and villages along the way. The e-bikes are slightly heavier than traditional bicycles, and using them comfortably requires a good sense of balance and moderate physical strength. You must feel comfortable confidently riding a bike, including balancing, starting and stopping, and cycling in both countryside and village settings where you may encounter pedestrians, other cyclists, and cars.
This is not just a visit to Amsterdam, it’s a full immersion into Dutch culture, landscapes, and lifestyle. With cycling options each day, the chance to relax on board if you prefer, and plenty of local experiences, this tour is as energizing as it is enriching.
