“I hired a bike from Marina for a nine-day bike tour in The Netherlands. The bike was faultless and was supplied with panniers and toolkit. The country is great for cycling. Marina was very helpful and this was my second time of renting from her. I would highly recommend a bike hire from Marina Cycle Amsterdam.”

Rhine cycle route Eurovelo 15
This route is suitable for all levels along almost the longest river of Europe “The Rhine” from The Netherlands through France, Germany to Switserland to the river Mossel.
The lenght is about 1450 km.
You can take the international train for a one way bike trip.
“Recently I toured Holland and Germany on a bike for 21 days. I brought my own bike from Australia and my bike riding buddy hired a sturdy 21 gear bike from Marina Vlasman in Amsterdam. It was hard to find a bike shop in Amsterdam willing to hire out anything but commuter bikes. The bike from Marina was trouble free over near 1,000 Km. The bike-paths in Europe are well made and easy to navigate. We took a train from Amsterdam to Luxemburg, then rode happily down the Mosel, up the Rhine then across on the Neckar. Finally, a train from Heidelburg to Amsterdam. A very economical holiday all round. Located in Amsterdam, Marina was super helpful organising things via email and phone”. Nicolaas Tijdens
