Become inspired to discover the icons of Holland on a rewarding bike and barge holiday by watching this short film. This bike and barge route can be taken from Amsterdam to Maastricht, or vice versa, and includes a variety of Dutch experiences, including cheese farms, canals and windmills. 

 

 

 

 

 

Follow the great rivers of the Netherlands on a scenic bike and boat trip encapsulating the essence of this historically rich and vibrant country. The journey begins in either Amsterdam or Maastricht, the Netherland's southernmost city. Pedalling between castles and villages, the route meanders along the Vecht, Lower Rhine, Waal, Linge and Meuse rivers, crossing borders regularly with neighbouring Belgium and nearby Germany. 

 

 

You can eat 'Kuchen' (cake) in a German 'Konditorei' in the morning and have a delicious afternoon beer in a street café in a Belgium village. Whilst Amsterdam needs little introduction, less known Maastricht is the capital of the province of Limburg, famous for its lively center and warm hospitality. At night you are based on a floating hotel, with an attentive crew on board. Taking a day off cycling is not a problem, or choosing a longer or shorter cycle route each day allows maximum flexibility.
