What Are the Dates of Your Holland Bike Trips?

Most of our Dutch bike tours can be run on any day of the week from April to October. Some trips have set dates and you can see these on our website.

How fit do I need to be?

Simply, not at all. Cycling in Holland is a way of life and everything is catered to you enjoying your cycling in the Netherlands. It's pan flat and the perfect destination for families with young children or newcomers to cycling.

Are your cycling tours in Holland guided?

All of our cycling holidays in Holland are self-guided, giving you the freedom to explore at your leisure. Armed with our detailed route packs, you can effortlessly navigate the stunning landscapes, pausing whenever and wherever you desire. We will take care of logistics like luggage transfers if you're moving from base to base. It's the perfect blend of independence and support, making for an unforgettable adventure.

When is the best time to go cycling in Holland?

For most areas, Holland enjoys good weather ideal for cycling adventures, from April to October. The peak summer months of July & August can be busy in towns and hot, but you can still enjoy some brilliant riding at that time and if you avoid the midday sun. Our favourite time is April to early July and September to October.

Where is good to cycle in Holland?

Everywhere! We love the famous old towns of Amsterdam and Gouda but for more off the beaten track riding, head into the green heart of Holland or ride the northern polders and lakes.

What Our Cyclists Say

Wonderful tour of Holland beginning at Amsterdam - Haarlem, Leiden, Delft, Gouda and back to A. Six great days of using the many cycle paths through countryside and town, meeting helpful people (who all seemed to speak English) and seeing a variety of wild life and fields of flowers. Smooth transition from hotel to hotel: no problem with logistics. The canals were amazing. There were two couples, one of whom had an electrically assisted bike and we all enjoyed ourselves immensely. Highly recommended.

Just recently got back from a fantastic cycle trip around Holland and wanted to say a big thank you to Macauley and Love Velo. Everything was perfect and went like clockwork. The bikes, route maps and information packs were all first class and made navigating from place to place extremely easy. All the hotels were great and in great locations and hotel staff extremely friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend this trip to others,

Our cycling holiday to Holland was organised superbly by Love Velo: the hotels were good: good food, nice & clean, nice rooms, excellent staff; the bikes were very good - easy to operate, looked quite new; the selected routes were really good - just far enough each day especially with kids. Undoubtedly the highlight was a day at Keukenhof Gardens which were absolutely stunning. Overall a wonderful trip and the weather was even kind to us.
