A wonderful tour of the Netherlands during tulip season! We cycled through nature as well as through cities, discovering the colors, scents, and sounds of this beautiful land at a slow and enjoyable pace.
Biking around the tulip fields into Keukenhof and after was absolutely stunning; vivid rainbows all around. It was unreal. The bike infrastructure was amazing! I’m so glad for this experience.
Amazingly green and tranquil riding on well maintained tracks, good hotels which were very cycle friendly, great breakfasts to set you up for each day.
Wonderful to be outside all day and the tulips were spectacular. The Netherlands is perfect for cycling - flat with cycle routes everywhere. Loved the e-biking! Lieden was beautiful - we took an electric boat tour which was quiet and peaceful with a great guide to give us the history and point out the highlights. The hotels were good and the buffet breakfast was excellent in all the hotels. The bikes were easy to charge and use.
We really enjoyed our tulip trip - the GPS made it easy for us to navigate and we really enjoyed the beauty and calmness of the routes. Keukenhoff was a must see and we particularly enjoyed our time in Haalem.
Enjoyed landscape, wildlife, grazing sheep, flowers, canals, architecture, cleanliness everywhere, nice cyclepaths. Haalem and Leiden are lovely cities. Amsterdam is too big and crowded for me. Didn't explore the charms that it most certainly has.
