Amsterdam To Paris


Our all-time most popular European trip! Easy to moderate biking, a great itinerary with lots of variety, and two exciting cities!

Amsterdam to Coastal Dunes

In Holland your group will cycle on country lanes past fields of cows and sheep and along canals - sleepy tree lined canals and bustling canals alive with sailboats, barges and houseboats waiting to pass under the raised drawbridges. Your group will swim in the ocean surf at sandy beaches along the coast.

You'll sample Dutch chocolate treats at picnics beneath the huge sails of old windmills, and cheeses at colorful cheese markets. In Amsterdam you'll see famous Rembrandt and van Gogh paintings and take a sobering tour of the Anne Frank house. You'll walk along the canals and perhaps buy yourself a pair of wooden shoes.

Beautiful Brugge & Belgian Waffles

Roll your bikes onto the ferry in Holland and wheel them off in Belgium. Glide along picturesque bike paths into Brugge, one of the most beautiful old towns in Europe. Climb the bell tower, watch lace being made, and try to say a few words in Flemish.

Fantastic Biking through France

Your group will cycle past old-world farms, along country lanes lined with rows of tall poplars, past meadows and pastures, and through tiny European villages that haven't changed much since the middle ages. Perhaps you'll stop to chat with a very, very French-looking man wearing a beret, asking him how to get to the nearest patisserie for some delicious cheese, crusty French bread, and smooth Belgian chocolate. Along the route you'll stop often to explore castles, soaring cathedrals, and elegant chateaux.

Paris & Versailles

In Paris you'll take in all the major sights - the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Left Bank, and much more, as well as take a day trip to see the wonders of Versailles.
