How much biking per day is there during this trip?

40 to 60 km per day. This particular tour will be offered in 2025 with 2 departure dates

Do you have any single cabins and if not how much is the single supplement. I want to bike and barge from Amsterdam to Cologne. I want to do this trip in late May 2024

Unfortunately for you, our 2024 trip from Amsterdam to Koblenz is sold out completely. We do not offer Amsterdam to Cologne. These trips are offered only once a year. For 2023 we have space left on the 14th of October trip from Metz, France, to Cochem, Germany. On that trip we do not charge singles extra. We usually ask for a 50% surcharge.

Do you have bike and barge trips in April 2023?

The April Tulip Tours are sold out

I am interested in participating in this bike/barge with my 15-year-old son and my 81-year-old husband who doesn't bike anymore. Is there a way to allow him to join the group and perhaps only do the barge?

We have added a shuttle service on this tour. The shuttle can take six guests who are not cycling. The charge for the extra car service is 400 euros for the whole trip per person. Your husband is welcome to use the shuttle or stay on board.

I am 64 years old and just retired I have done limited cycling is this suitable for a beginner and do you offer electric bikes, bike helmets etc.

95% of our guests are between 55 and 90 years old. If you can cycle steadily, have a good sense of equilibrium, and get on and of without keeping both feet on the ground, it is only a matter of staying in the saddle long enough. We only have day rides, so we cycle for around 5 hours, between short or longer stops. We have many stops; our total travelling time is around 7 miles per hour. Yes, we supply you with a regular bike or an E-bike, you can order ahead and we will let you pay when you arrive.
