What are the dates of your Holland bike trips?

Most of our self guided bike tours in Holland are entirely tailor made. You can choose what day you want to travel and what riding you want to do. There are a couple of trips that have specific departure dates, usually where those cross from Holland into another country.

How fit do I need to be?

Not fit at all. That's the beauty of Holland. It's pan flat, distances are relatively short and the riding is nearly all on cycle paths.

When is the best time to go cycling in Holland?

The Spring, between April and June and the fall, between September & October are the best time to ride in Holland. The summer months are also very enjoyable in comparison to other warmer countries in Europe.

Where is good to cycle in Holland?

The country is relatively small so anywhere in Holland is great to ride. We recommend the Green Heart to allow some countryside riding between the cultural towns.

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.

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.

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,
