The number of participants per group is limited and we guarantee you to be in a group of no more then 12 persons. This ensures a fun, safe and high quality bike tour. Our countryside bike tour (total distance: 30 km / 18 miles) is a great break away from the city. On this leisurely bike ride you will learn about the Dutch history and our on going battle agains the water. The beautiful landscapes lay below sea level which you will see with your own eyes while riding your bike over the embankments that keep our feet dry. We'll be passing picturesque farmers and fishermen villages and see the big five of Holland on this Dutch safari. (cows, cows, cows, cows, cows) ;) Halfway through the tour we enjoy a relaxing break to hydrate and taste the world's best slice of apple pie in the picturesque village of Holysloot.
