Sail and Bike to Picturesque Villages and Nature Reserves

Sail and bike along the coast of the Ijsselmeer ([ahy-suh l-meyr], or Ijssel Lake in English). Once a salty sea, now the largest sweet water lake in all of Holland! Discover this unique part of the Netherlands aboard a magnificent and comfortably furnished sailing ship, and while riding the excellent cycle paths and tracks. The tour also leads you through various Dutch national parks and gets you as far as the province of Overijssel.

Tulip Tour on the Allure/Sarah

This wonderful bike and barge trip that starts and ends in Amsterdam and takes you through the provinces of South and North Holland while spring flowers are in bloom. You will spend time in the historical cities of Haarlem, Leiden, Gouda, and Alkmaar and will visit the famous Keukenhof gardens, known for the hundreds of thousands of blooming tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, and other bulb flowers. You will be surprised by the beautiful, varied scenery and the wonderful cycling paths of Holland.

Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast

Explore the beautiful southeast part of Peloponnese, Laconia, with a bike trip that combines the golden Greek beaches with Greek history and culture. Beginning in the famous military city-state of the ancient world, Sparta, you will head south and pass by Elafonisos, with one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean Sea. You’ll end in the unique castle town of Monemvasia. Idyllic landscapes, turquoise water, endless beaches, and history will keep you company in every step of this exciting ride.

Highlights of Dalmatia by Bike/E-bike and Boat

This bike and boat tour allows you to experience the region of South Dalmatia thoroughly, including Dubrovnik and its amazing city walls. Accompanied by your charming motor yacht, you will get to know this sparsely populated part of Croatia. Breathtaking scenic experiences and cultural highlights await you. The highlights of the trip are the town centers of Split and Dubrovnik, which are listed as UNESCO World Heritage Sites. You will cycle the islands of Brač, Hvar, Korčula, Lastovo, Mljet, and Šipan, and get an up-close-and-personal experience of land, sea, nature, and culture.

Best of Eastern Zealand

Denmark is perfectly suitable for cycling holidays. The small kingdom welcomes you with a varied and beautiful landscape. You will discover wild forests and flourish meadows, beautiful coastlines, and charming villages. And your bike is a great way to explore: there are more than 12,000 km sign-posted cycle routes throughout the country. Leave the daily routine behind and discover new places and moments.

Royal Zealand and Copenhagen

This tour showcases the best of Northeast Zealand. You will bike along lovely beaches, pass charming marinas, and visit important royal cities like Hillerød and Roskilde. Sand, sea, culture, and history combined with a lively, charming modern capital-–this tour has it all.

Danube Bike and Boat: Passau-Budapest-Passau – MS Arlene II

On this bike and boat tour, you will cycle by day and enjoy the comforts of your boat accommodations by night. From Passau, the Bavarian “Three River City,” cycle along the Danube River into the heart of the once glorious Imperial and Royal Monarchy. Along the way, experience three of the most enchanting European capitals, from the lively city of Vienna to the Slovak coronation city of Bratislava and the “Hungarian Danube Queen,” Budapest.

Oxford and Royal Palaces along the Thames River

The River Thames threads its way serenely through sleepy rural villages, pretty landscapes, and the heart of bustling historic towns like Oxford and Windsor. Royalty and history beckon while water meadows, old inns, wildlife, and weirs lead you your adventures. The tranquil river path provides the route for much of this trip – we love it because it is flat and traffic free. The itinerary is relaxed and includes several optional river boat trips with bikes aboard.

Lake Constance Bicycle Path (Upscale Lodging)

An old favorite, with a little upgrade. Many of our clients have asked for an upscale lodging option around Lake Constance. We’re pleased to introduce Lake Constance Bicycle Path: Upscale Lodging, which stays in the top hotels in each overnight stop along the way, primarily 4- and 5-star hotels in town centers. Bicycle touring around Lake Constance is a very special experience. You will pass vineyards, fruit orchards, and picturesque villages and landscapes. Time and again, you will enjoy the breathtaking view of the expansive water surface of Lake Constance and the Alps, seen just beyond the southern shores.
