The Netherlands is a cyclist's paradise! This agency offers you the opportunity to take advantage of this, by organising cycling trips throughout the country. From already planned tours, or by creating your own itinerary, it is an excellent idea to discover the richness of the landscapes of this beautiful country. During the organization, everything is taken care of: definition of the itinerary, reservations of accommodations, assistance on the way, and even the transport of luggage between each stage! This is an excellent agency that has been showing its know-how for 20 years.

Bike City is one of the best options for renting a bike in Amsterdam. Located at the entrance of the Jordaan, a few blocks from the Central Station, it is a charming store on the Bloemgracht (Flower Canal). The bikes are of very good quality, fully equipped; and several choices are proposed: notably for the braking system (back-pedaling or rim brakes). Note that this is one of the few agencies in the city to offer unmarked bikes, which will allow you to visit the city while blending in with the local population.

Haarlem, like its big sister Amsterdam, is best discovered by bike and this is where you should go to rent one. Indeed, the city is small and ideally it is necessary to walk or pedal there. A bike will be very useful to visit this small city and, above all, to offer you a ride in its surroundings or at the sea. Reference address in the city. The service is not always friendly, but it's not a big deal, it's well located near the train station and not far from the city center so it's perfect!

By choosing Clio, you are opting for an original and enriching travel concept. The success of Clio trips is based on three principles. We propose an itinerary to help you discover the different facets of a country, a town or a region. We provide you with the information you need to better appreciate its history and heritage during a trip to an exhibition or a music festival. And we put you in a small group of people united by their common taste for cultural discovery.

Since 2005, this tour operator has been offering to discover many European countries by minibus (8 people). Robert Barbe, founder of the company, has an excellent knowledge of the destinations in the catalogue and acts as both driver and guide. He organizes departures from all cities in France and Belgium as long as 8 people can be grouped together in the region. This formula, very comfortable, allows to save several hours of tourism per day compared to trips organized in larger numbers.

On Neude, the very pretty square of the city located at the corner of Oudegracht. A former post office, it is a building that symbolizes the city. The building, designed by J. Crouwel, is magnificent. Currently under construction, the complex is expected to unveil its new face, consisting of the public library, stores and a food market in 2019.

This company was the first in Europe to implement the concept of electrically-powered cabs, a success story that has since been replicated in many other countries. Cab Electric offers services that are both ecological and economical: the cost of a trip, powered by electricity, is thus reduced (25% less!), and therefore more competitive than those of all "classic" cab companies, while at the same time being very clean for the environment, which fits in perfectly with the green mentality of Amsterdam and its countless bicycles.

Located 3 meters below sea level, Schiphol is a pleasant airport from which to travel. It offers a range of practical services (tourist office, Holland Tourist Information, currency exchange open from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.) and even a branch of the Rijksmuseum! In recent years, staff shortages have scratched the airline's image, but the problem seems to have been solved with wage increases for baggage handlers. It is expected to limit its night flights and jets by 2026.

Amsterdam's Cuypers-designed central station, like the Rijksmuseum, serves all the country's major tourist cities. Rotterdam, Utrecht, Maastricht, beautiful Delft, The Hague and other nearby towns. Rotations are very frequent and punctual trains drop you off at the city gates. Fares are high. The station has just inaugurated two superb and incredible underground bike parks, which should be visited even without a bike. The experience is insane and shows that when it comes to mobility, the Netherlands is king.

In addition to bike rentals, the company also offers guided tours of Amsterdam in English. A daily departure for an organized tour at 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. (in high season). There are now 5 rental points: Waterlooplein (flea market), the train station (Ruijterkade 34b), Vondelpark (Overtoom 45), and Oosterdokskade 63A (underground bicycle garage). There's always a MacBike nearby in Amsterdam. You can also rent children's bikes, tandems and cargo bikes. This is a reference address.

So here is a mode of transport that is totally in tune with the port city of Rotterdam! These are small boats that work like cabs and serve the most touristy points of the city, but not only! Reservations are not required, unless there is a real need. These cabs pass every ten minutes or so and can take up to 6 people. Be careful, for the sensitive hearts they can go really fast and you can have some scares. For a moment of James Bond fun!
