Tours

Amsterdam

Amsterdam is one of Europe’s most bike-friendly cities and a vibrant capital with a thousand entertainment options and museums, so it’s well known. But not everyone knows that you can set off from here on a unique bike and boat holiday along the Dutch canals.

You can even get to Flanders, where Bruges awaits you, with its moules frites, chocolate, and Trappist beer.

Rome

‘All roads lead to Rome’ they said. But from there, you can also set off on two splendid routes: along the ancient Appian Way to the sea or to Lake Bolsena and the town of Orvieto in Umbria. As well as the wonders of Rome, this part of Italy boasts real gems such as Civita di Bagnoregio, Sermoneta and Sperlonga’s beaches.

Athens

The capital of Greece is famous for the timeless charm of the Acropolis, a sacred place where you can experience history first-hand. But Athens also boasts a plethora of taverns serving Greek specialities and bustling neighbourhoods. It is also the departure point for all ferries to the Cyclades islands, making it the ideal starting point for a bike and barge tour to the Ionian Islands or the Gulf of Corinth.

Vienna, Bratislava, Budapest

What do imperial Vienna, Bratislava with its parks, and elegant Budapest have in common? They are all connected by one of the world’s most famous cycle paths: the Danube Cycle Path. It is easy and flat, and one of the most popular in Europe. The chance to visit three European capitals on one trip is not to be missed, don’t you agree?

Paris

Right from the canals of Paris begins a journey by bike and boat to discover the Champagne region. Before setting off, you have the opportunity to explore the Ville Lumière, with its elegant boulevards and cafés where you can enjoy a pain au chocolat, not to mention some of the world’s most famous museums!

Assistance

Luggage transportation
Traveling light makes all the difference! All travel itineraries come with our signature luggage transport service: simply leave your bags at the front desk each morning and we’ll drop them off at your next lodging.

 

Tour information
We’ll send you all the tour information before you set off on your adventure. It contains practical information, instructions on how to reach the starting point, a list of hotels, and answers to frequently asked questions. For our self-guided tours, we’ll also hand over detailed maps and roadbooks, in either physical or digital format, so you can follow the route on your own.
No need to worry about figuring out which turn to take if you opted for one of our group trips; in this case, your chaperone will gladly tell you where to go next!

 

Need help?
We plan your trip carefully to prevent any mishaps, but in case you need assistance, we’re available for support 7 days a week, from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.

This bike and barge trip was a perfect way to see Provence. The route took us through areas that were filled with ancient sites, vineyards, farmland, and small villages that you would not see going any other way. The crew was amazing, the food fantastic with great presentation. The bikes are well maintained and makes riding easy. We rode the electric bikes. The barge L’Estella is well maintained with a nice gathering area. However the cabins are small, but did have good storage. I highly recommend Girolibero for this bike trip!
