Bruges to Amsterdam Bike and Barge Tour | Comfort
Suitable for active families with children as young as 10, the Bruges to Amsterdam Bike and Barge Tour is a guided, barge-based cycling tour is designed to unveil the highlights of Belgium and Holland over eight days.
Beginning in Bruges and finishing in Amsterdam (or vice versa), from the comfort of your ‘boatel’ you will unpack only once, spending your holiday travelling by water and discovering a new place every day. Highlights include visiting small chocolatiers and waffle sellers in Bruges, taking a walking tour in the picturesque town of Ghent and exploring the peaceful waterways of Zeeland.

Bruges to Amsterdam Bike & Barge Tour | Deluxe
The Netherlands and Belgium are two of the most bicycle-friendly countries in the world and the Bruges to Amsterdam Deluxe Bike and Barge trip follows a well-signposted route along a string of exceptional Dutch and Flemish towns. While in Holland, discover the hidden gem of Bergen op Zoom, whose 800-year history is etched in its narrow streets and old squares, and once you cross over to Belgium, see for yourself why Antwerp remains one of Europe’s best-kept secrets. The final leg to Brussels is short to ensure plenty of time to explore the Belgian capital’s main sights, such as the opulent Grote Markt.
The key difference with the Deluxe version of this tour is the use of a premium barge for extra comfort. There is also the reverse trip; the Amsterdam to Bruges Deluxe tour.
