Day 1: Amsterdam – Wijk bij Duurstede by boat

Day 2: Wijk bij Duurstede – Wageningen by boat l Wageningen – Arnhem (35 or 44 km)
During breakfast, the boat sails towards Wageningen. From here begins the first cycling stage through the flat valley of the Rhine River: you will encounter the heaths of the Veluwe National Park, a park that, within its 5400 hectares, hosts numerous species of animals and plants, as well as the Kröller-Müller Museum, the world’s largest private collection of Van Gogh's works (not included in the tour). You will then continue cycling through suburbs and parks, continuing through Sonsbeek and Zijpendaal; between Zijpendaal and Arnhem, the boat will stay docked overnight.

Day 3: Arnhem – Doesburg by boat l Doesburg – Zutphen – Deventer (45 or 55 km)
Brief navigation to the small Hanseatic town of Doesburg, from where the cycling stage to Zutphen and Deventer (one of the largest Hanseatic cities in the Netherlands) begins: choose between two options, a short one that takes you along the banks of the Ijssel to Bronkhorst, the smallest city in the Netherlands, and Zutphen; or alternatively a longer one that goes through Vorden, allowing you to admire rural estates, farms and castles. The final destination is Deventer, renowned for its delicious gingerbread. In the evening, take a short walk in the city center.

Day 4: Deventer – Wijhe by boat l Wijhe – Kampen (40 or 56 km)
After a short stretch of navigation to Wijhe, the bike ride to Hattem begins; those who wish can extend the bike path through the eastern part of the Veluwe. The last kilometers by bike to Zwolle, one of the most beautiful among the Hanseatic cities of the Netherlands. From Zwolle you will then continue to Kampen. After dinner, you can take a walk in the center of one of the largest Dutch Hanseatic cities.

Day 5: Kampen – Elburg – Harderwijk (48 or 56 km)
Today you will move through the lake area to the fishing village of Elburg in the Ijssel estuary and along the lake shore to the fishing port of Harderwijk, where you can still breathe the ancient history that has characterized it. Overnight at the port of Harderwijk.

Day 6: Harderwijk – Spakenburg – Huizen (45 or 56 km)
You will decide today's stage: a short ride along the coast or a longer alternative that will also take you through the nearby wooded area. In the afternoon you will pass through Spakenburg, famous for its traditional costumes, still worn by some inhabitants today. The final destination is Huizen.

🙋 Frequently asked questions

Can I bring my own bike?
Of course! You can participate in any tour with your own bicycle or rent one. However, we recommend renting because not all spare parts are the same, and only with our bikes can we guarantee the best mechanical assistance.
What kind of assistance will I have during the trip?
You will always have an emergency phone number to refer to. In self-guided trips, you should be able to perform minor repairs, like replacing a tube in case of a puncture, or fixing a dropped chain, but you can always count on local assistance for more serious breakdowns.
How do I know if a tour is within my capabilities?
We classify tours on a scale from 1 to 5 based on length, elevation, and complexity of the itinerary, but if you have doubts, contact us and we will help you find the most suitable journey for you.
What is the cost of renting bicycles?
The rental cost varies depending on the bicycle model and the duration of the tour. For some tours, we offer the possibility to rent different types of bicycles. During the purchase process for each route, you will be asked to indicate your preferred bike type and the corresponding price will be shown, so you can choose freely and without surprises.
Are rented bikes equipped with accessories like lights or bags?
Yes, rented bicycles are equipped with all necessary accessories to comply with road traffic regulations (lights, bell, etc.). A lock, repair kit, and a bag to carry everything you need for a day in the saddle are always included in the rental. Additionally, we offer the option to request extra accessories based on your needs.
