Description

Day 1: Zoetermeer
Individual arrival at your hotel, near the centre of Zoetermeer. In neighbouring city of The Hague you will find numerous tourist attractions, shops and museums.

Day 2: Zoetermeer – Scheveningen (31 km/19 miles)
After a hearty breakfast, the first leg of the tour takes you to the seaside resort of Scheveningen. On the way, you will pass through Wassenaar, a village with leafy surroundings, scattered villas and country houses. Rich town dwellers used to build their summer retreats here. Today, opt to visit Duinrell amusement park. Top attractions include the Dragonfly rollercoaster and a waterslide paradise. Don’t forget your swimming gear!

Day 3: Scheveningen
On a summer’s day you can paddle in the sea and build sand castles. There are surfing schools located up and down the beach. If the weather takes a turn, SeaLife aquarium or LEGOLAND® Discovery Centre will save the day. On the seafront, there’s a fun collection of 23 groups of sculptures called “Fairy Tale Sculptures by the Sea” (free). Beach restaurants cater to all tastes. Why not do as the Dutch do and buy the kids pancakes (pannekoeken); or chips with mayonnaise. Another option is a 10-minute bike ride to Madurodam (Miniature Holland – fascinates younger children!). In the evening, watch the sun set into the sea.

Day 4: Scheveningen – Delft (17 km/10 miles)
Today you will cycle through the city of The Hague to the city of Delft. There’s culture in the air! If your kids appreciate the arts you can take them to see quaint Panorama Mesdag or the amazing Escher Museum of optical illusions, both in The Hague. The old part of Delft, with its canals and lovely old buildings, is as charming as can be and the whole family will enjoy a walkabout. The city is known for its blue and white pottery and you can see artists at work in their studios (look next to Nieuwe Kerk church). Visit the university Science Centre (students’ own creations) for hands-on activities such as Dike Patrol and designing your own airplane wing. Just outside town is a recreational area with a lake for free swimming: Delftse Hout.

Day 5: Delft – Rotterdam (33 km/20 miles)
The route continues to Schiedam, a village with a remarkable skyline! Five giant windmills rise up above the houses. Soon after, you’ll spot the skyscrapers of Rotterdam. You’ll be spoilt for choice of things to do in this modern city. Opt to take a boat tour to explore the port and old and new harbour areas from the water. Climb Euromast for a fabulous view of Rotterdam. For a rainy day: at a ten-minute bike ride from your hotel, Villa Zebra creates interactive visual art exhibitions for children aged 4 – 12. Tonight you’re in for a treat because you will spend the night aboard an enormous cruise ship, moored in the centre of the city.

Day 6: Rotterdam
After a hearty international cruise breakfast, you could take a guided tour of the ship (there’s a fee!) and get to see the engine room, radio room, chart room and much more. After taking your leave of the cruise ship, board the Waterbus with your bikes, and decide where you want to go today. If you buy a day card you can get on and off wherever you want. This way, you could visit Blijdorp Zoo, or the famous windmills at Kinderdijk, or cycle through Biesbosch National Park near the town of Dordrecht. Alternatively, the very adventurous might like to go tree climbing at Fun Forest (age 8+ / 130 cm). You’ll need to calculate three hours for safety instructions followed by all six treetop courses. There’s also a playground for younger children.

Day 7: Rotterdam – Zoetermeer (32 km/20 miles)
This is your last day of cycling. The route takes you mainly along the River Rotte back to Zoetermeer. It’s one of the most scenic in the country. You’ll see many mills, locks, marinas and villages.

Giorno 8: Zoetermeer
End of services after breakfast.

🙋 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.
