Holiday Information

During this tour we will be exploring some of the world's most beautiful cities including Bruges, Ghent, Antwerp, Utrecht and Amsterdam, where you can experience a wealth of historical charm. The daily bike tours will take us through a variety of flat landscapes, along the River Schelde, through perfectly preserved historic villages and along winding dike roads.

Along the way we will cycle through the beautiful Dutch landscape of Zeeland, we'll visit a real Dutch cheese farm and also have the chance to explore the 19 Dutch windmills in Kinderdijk. The province of Zeeland is essentially one big river delta of the Rhine, Meuse and Scheldt Rivers and is famous for its fantastic beaches, whilst the Flanders region of Belgium boasts a number of world-famous medieval towns and has a well-deserved reputation for superb food and drink. There really is something for everybody on this holiday!

Your accommodation for the week is on a specially designed barge (see the accommodation section below for more information). A local leader will be lead your cycling, however route descriptions are provided if you'd prefer to cycle independently from the group.

This tour is run in conjunction with a local partner and you will join their guests on the tour. You will spend your evenings sharing experiences of the day with an international group of cyclists over authentic regional cuisine, cooked and served on board the barge. Please get in touch if you'd like to know the make up of the group booked onto your chosen departure.

We may have other dates available, please call us if the below dates don't quite suit or if you'd rather travel from Amsterdam to Bruges.

Holiday Feedback

Memories made that will last forever...

I felt it would be a wonderful experience, but it turned out to be better than I could hope for. First rate in every way. Wonderful crew, barge, cycling and the group I shared it with. I could not ask for more!! The Magnifique was so beautiful to behold. It holds about 30 and that is ideal. The cabins were very good, too.

The pre holiday service by Skedaddle was excellent, any questions I had were always answered promptly and professionally!

I just can’t say enough about the Tour. Everyday was special. And each just got better and better. I am looking forward to doing more in the future. I smile at the memories and they will stay with me forever.

Excellent holiday and service from Skedaddle...

The Magnifigue ll was far beyond my expectations. We got the delux accommodations and were super pleased. The boat was spotless, always, and the staff was superb. Coffee always available and lovely snacks when we arrived back after a day of biking. The last 2 days in Holland were perfect, lovely countryside, and great stop at a cheese farm.
