 Bicycle Tours in Europe and Vermont Austria - Belgium - France - Holland - Italy - Vermont Van Gogh Tours offers outstanding bicycle tours in some of Europe’s most desirable and bicycle-friendly locales - Holland, Belgium, Provence, Brittany-Normandy, Loire Valley, Tuscany, Umbria, Puglia and along the Danube River Valley. All of VGT’s bike tours are carefully designed to emphasize the cultures, traditions and natural beauty which make a particular region unique. Each day's itinerary includes spectacular scenery, a history lesson or two, and plenty of opportunities to soak up the local color. The scents and sights and leisurely pace of the countryside are best appreciated by bicycle! Whether it's an easy tour on flat terrain, along well-paved bike paths and charming canals of Holland or a moderate tour through the breathtaking Alpilles in Provence you can expect to be amazed. What to Expect on a Van Gogh Bicycle Tour All the routes on our bicycle tours are designed to contain terrain suited for everyone from the timid, but moderately fit, beginner to the experienced, very fit intermediate cyclist or walker. Our cycling speed is leisurely, allowing time to truly "experience" the country we're visiting. Our 25-40 mile daily cycling itineraries are planned to lead you over "postcard pretty" roads and uncluttered bike paths often known only to locals. Many of the routes are "No cars allowed" private bike lanes that make cycling a pure pleasure and a way to escape the pressures of daily life! With detailed route descriptions and maps, you are always free to bike at your own pace. On all VGT bicycle tours we use hotels carefully selected for their comfort, proximity to cultural sights and old world charm. For the most part we choose small, family-owned hotels where the proprietors are proud to show off the family "treasure" and describe its history to you. Food is one of the highlights of any Van Gogh cycling vacation. Meals are a time to share the events of the day with your fellow cyclists while sampling and savoring the tasty local cuisine. Former clients consistently report that the quality of the food on VGT’s guided bicycle tours in Holland, France, Italy and Austria consistently exceeded their expectations. All of our guided bike tours in Holland, Belgium, and France are accompanied by a support van, which carries luggage, supplies, “goodies”, water and is there to assist you along the road. The Italian bike tours are organized a bit differently (see the individual "in depth" tour itiniraries). On VGT’s bike tours there is no pressure to ride further or longer than you want. The support van is always nearby if you need a break or a short ride up to the top of the hill. The lonely driver actually loves company! Note: there is no support van on the bike and barge tours and on self guided tours!
