Riding bikes through the Netherlands is awesome. This trip really focuses on the cycling and not on the river/canal cruising. If you want a relaxing holiday this may not be the trip for you, although you have the option not to cycle, the activities and timing of meals are really geared toward cycling and generally everyone does that. Also, if you’re not a morning person beware as well. After 7am breakfast and off the boat at 8 or 9am the cycling is easy and beautiful, definitely choose the short itineraries if you want to stop and enjoy the scenery or a drink along the way. My only complaint is the bikes we were assigned needed a minor gear and brake adjustment which we asked for but they were unable to fulfill. I’d definitely recommend this tour.
