Description

Certainly! Here is your bicycle trip program translated from Italian into English, formatted as HTML: ```html

Day 1: Haarlem
Individual arrival in Haarlem and accommodation in a hostel situated near a small park called Schoterbos, rich in gardens, flower beds, and beehives; if you arrive by public transport, you can reach the hostel in the northern outskirts of the city directly by bus. Don't miss the chance to go downtown and admire the splendor of the historic core of Haarlem, one of the oldest cities in the Netherlands, rich in historical testimonies. Children are particularly fond of the local Archaeology Museum and the wonderful ancient Teylers Museum of Sciences, the first and oldest museum in the Netherlands. Alternatively, visit the museum in the huge De Adriaan windmill with views of the river and the city.

Day 2: Haarlem – Circular Tour of Zandvoort (33 km)
Today you can spend a bit more time visiting the beautiful city of Haarlem before heading towards the coast. This part of the Dutch territory is below sea level. So what stops the water from flooding the land? Along most of the coast, there are rather wide and undulating sand dunes covered with grass that prevents the sand from blowing away; as soon as you see the dunes, you will know that the sea cannot be far. You will see an enormous sandy beach! Here you can hunt for beautiful shells, small crabs, and tiny hermit crabs, dive into the sea or build magnificent sandcastles. Alternatively, you can take a shorter ride and cycle through the streets of Haarlem.

Day 3: Haarlem – Heemskerk (31 km)
Today you will cycle towards the coast, heading to the village of Wijk aan Zee and the Noordhollands Duinreservaat area. You will pass the fascinating and famous system of locks that connects the North Sea to the North Sea Canal. The large ships heading to the port of Amsterdam pass through the locks and can be seen up close: cruise ships, cargo ships, pleasure boats. A surprise awaits you at the end of the day: tonight you will sleep in the thirteenth-century Assumburg Castle in the village of Heemskerk! This hostel surrounded by a moat and gardens will make your little cyclists feel like princes and princesses.

Day 4: Heemskerk – Circular Tour of Bakkum (33 km)
Today will be another well-spent day on the coast. The bike route is a bit shorter to allow you to wander among the wind-swept dunes and relax by the sea. You will then return by bike to your castle. The longer alternative will take you to admire the dunes of Egmond aan Zee.

Day 5: Heemskerk – Amsterdam (45 km)
Today the spotlight is on the Zaan region, named after the river of the same name, famous for its traditional architecture: wooden houses, sheds, warehouses, and even windmills painted green. The most notable specimens have been grouped in Zaanse Schans, very touristy but so beautiful! Here you can take a step back in time and immerse yourself in what was daily life in the Netherlands during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Children can discover how cheese and the typical wooden clogs are made, or climb to the top of a creaking windmill. Het Twiske is a beautiful and shady recreational area offering sports activities inside and outside the water.

Day 6: Amsterdam
The center of Amsterdam is beautiful, but other neighborhoods also offer a remarkable variety of architecture, culture, and splendid parks. Head to Vondelpark, for example, and continue on to Museumplein or PC Hooftstraat for the top fashion and luxury brands. On the Oosterdok, you can admire a replica of the 17th-century ship Amsterdam. If you want to board an old ship, visit the National Maritime Museum, where you can spend a very interesting afternoon.

Day 7: Amsterdam – Haarlem (27 km)
Leaving the capital, you can immerse yourself in the peace of the open Dutch countryside. The picturesque village of Spaarndam was built around a dam on the river Spaarne, which once flowed into a saltwater bay. The Kolksluis lock, an opening through which boats can pass through the dam, is said to be, among those still active, the oldest in Europe (1280). You can see the monument to the Little Hero of Haarlem. On YouTube, you can listen to Sara Cone Bryant's version of this children's tale, which tells the story of the boy who plugged a leak in the dike with his finger, thus saving the city from flooding.

Day 8: Haarlem
After breakfast, end of services and individual departure.

🙋 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.
