This list of flight options should be used as a guide only, and you should check each airline’s website for current routes, frequency and schedules. Not all flights operate daily, and may not run for the entire season. You should also heed the latest flight arrival time and earliest flight departure time stated in the connecting travel section, as it may not be possible to arrange connecting travel outside these times. Please do not book your flights until we have confirmed your accommodation to you. Alternatively, our expert reservations team will be happy to offer advice and to make flight bookings for you. We charge £30 per person for our flight booking service (£50 for India and Nepal). Your flights are then covered by our package-booking conditions, which give you greater protection in the event of delay or cancellation, as well as providing ATOL cover.

If you've experienced this holiday first hand, why not write a review?
We are keen for as many customers as possible to review their holiday. To make it easier to do so, we include a specific review section on our post-holiday questionnaire, and this is what we publish here, unedited. Read our full review policy >
A choice of bike would be preferablue. Warn customers that Holland although is flat is generally windy and be prepared for a challenge when trying to navigate your way through to the hotel in the city! It’s not easy and other cyclists do not stop! Keep out of the cycle lanes if you’re walking!!
I enjoyed the trip very much - even, with hindsight, the terrible time we had getting through Amsterdam to our hotel.... It took us three hours, we were neraly in despair at time. Cycling around Edam however was a pure delight and there were so many lovely landscapes and pretty villages. Also of course, everything is set up for cyclists so we felt safe and catered for (unlike in this country..) The food was nice and the people were friendly and helpful. Definitely a place to go back to. Less sure about Amsterdam - I think a four night stay in Edam with circular tours would be ideal.
We had a wonderful time on the cycling holiday in Holland. Edam was wonderful and so was La Fortuna. Very friendly and delicious food. Biking was very good. Only small remark was the bikes were quite heavy and so this was a little problem especially in Amsterdam. The hotel in Amsterdam was great too. Very friendly and excellent breakfast. Central and great to get to the museums.

We really enjoyed our Inntravel holiday. We have never done a self-guided, hotel to hotel holiday before and we didn't know what to expect. Everything worked as arranged. The notes were easy to follow, the hotels knew we were coming and greeted us warmly and our bags were waiting for us. We liked all the hotels and found the service provided by the staff to be very good. All the hotels were located in very pleasant places and we took advantage of the garden settings (in Holland).
My recommendation for future customers: The rides through Tuscany are wonderful. You will work hard climbing the hills but you will be rewarded at the top with fantastic views and a thrilling descent. You will be rewarded at the end of the day with a good glass of wine and a great meal. You will wish that you had booked a longer holiday. Drink lots of water, wear cycling shorts and bring chamois butter.
INNTRAVEL NOTE: These customers booked two of our short cycling breaks - A Taste of Holland followed by A Flavour of Tuscany
This was a very enjoyable short holiday, which we would probably have ruled out as being too flat and easy if I had not injured my ankle earlier in the year and wanted to get myself gently back into cycling. We enjoyed seeing Edam and the more rural areas outside Amsterdam, with a very different style of housing, and visiting the lively seaside towns of Volendem, Marken and Monnickendam. Cycling into Amsterdam was challenging - we were in heavy rain (so the map pages got soaked when we swapped them over), bikes (and motor scooters, which are allowed in the cycle lanes) were coming from all directions, tourists tended to walk out into the cycle lanes without looking and, of course, you had to watch out for the cars, as well as trying to work out where you were supposed to be going. We were relieved to reach the Vondelpark and to use a quieter route for the rest of the journey to the hotel. The Apollo First Hotel was excellent and provided a good location for exploring the city and visiting the museums etc. On the walk provided, the Cromhouthuizen is definitely worth a visit, and my husband enjoyed sampling a couple of the Dutch beers at the t'Arendsnest!
