Bike Boat Green Heart of Holland Tour - Guided

Along the way you will visit historical cities such as Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Gouda, uncover many culturally historic attractions and, more importantly, be able to immerse yourself in the very fabric of this fascinating and very Dutch part of Holland.

Also, if you are an art lover, you will revel in the opportunity to explore Leiden, Haarlem and Delft where painters such as Rembrandt, Frans Hals and Vermeer lived and worked.

But far from just being about big cities and Dutch history, this tour is also about the picturesque villages and beautiful scenery of central and South Holland. One thing is certain: by the end of the tour you will not only come away with a new-found appreciation for bike and barge cruising, but everything Dutch.

A bonus during this tour is the fact that the Lena Maria docks in and around the city centre of the various cities and villages visited at the end of each day’s cycling, giving you the opportunity to visit and explore at your leisure at night.

Lena Maria

The Lena Maria started her second life as a passenger barge in 2006. This ship was built by Hans de Lange who had previously built and operated similar vessels. The Lena Maria is a very comfortable ship, ideal for bike and barge tours in the Netherlands and very popular on the Hanseatic tour.

The Lena Maria has twelve spacious twin cabins (10,5 m² – 113 sq.ft.) with two separate beds. Each cabin has a private shower, toilet and basin. Windows can be opened and the cabins have ventilation and central heating. Furthermore, you will find a hair dryer in each cabin.

On the upper deck of the Lena Maria you will find the cozy lounge with the bar and dining area. Wi-Fi is available. The barge also has a beautiful sundeck, where you can have a drink. On nice evenings, or while cruising, you can enjoy the scenery from here.
