Biketours around Utrecht
Discover the most beautiful cycling routes around Utrecht with a local guide
To groups I offer private biketours and daytrips by bike. Take a look at the tours below for some inspiration. All tours can be custom made based on your schedule, preferences and group size.
Dutch Windmill biketour
Without windmills The Netherlands wouldn´t exist. In this biketour you will learn and see why windmills were so important and became a Dutch symbol. We will cycle past some great windmills in and around Utrecht. A Dutch beer and ´bitterballen´ are included in this tour.
Close to the city centre of Utrecht there are still two windmills present. A beautiful lumberjack mill and an impressive grain mill. After visiting those we will cycle to the beautiful countryside north of Utrecht. There we´ll find two fascinating windmills that were used to prevent flooding. These windmills became symbols of Dutch innovation and great craftsmanship. On some days it is even possible to visit one of the windmills.
Distance: 20-25 km
Duration: 3 hours (including break)
Costs: 39,- per person (minimum of 5 people required)
River Vecht Biketour
On this biketour you will see the best Holland has to offer. Castles, windmills and beautiful countryhouses from the Golden Age. This is one of the best cycling routes in the Netherlands for you to discover.
For thousands of years the river Vecht has been an important trade route. Now this river is famous for its beautiful country houses built alongside in the 17th & 18th century. Most of them once owned by wealthy merchants from Amsterdam.
Experience Dutch history in real life with this cycling along the river Vecht. A special biketour you won´t forget.

Costs: 42,50 per person (minimum of 5 people required)

How to get there
By train or bus
From Utrecht Central Station it is a 15 minute walk to the Domsquare. I recommend walking as it often is just as fast as taking a bus.
Bus number 2 stops at the Domsquare. Also busstop Janskerkhof is close by and is attended to by many lines. Check the website 9292.nl for travel schedules and timetables.
By car
Car Park
Parking on the streets is possible but expensive and oftentimes it is hard to find a spot. Below you will find car parks close to the Domsquare. Sometimes reserving a spot beforehand is cheaper. You can also check out Parkbee for this.
Parkeergarage Springweg - A 5 minute walk to the Domsquare. Costs: 2 euro per 25 minutes / 36,- per day
Parkeergarage Hoog-Catharijne P1 - A 10 minute walk to the Domsquare. Costs: 0,50 cent per 9 minuten / 30,- per day
Park and Ride
The cheapest option is using the Park and Ride locations Westraven and Science Park. Parking costs 6 euro´s per day and includes a bus/tram-ticket for up to 5 persons. I couldn´t find propper updated English instructions on how to use the P+R´s. I suggest following the links below and use Google translate instead.
P+R Westraven is located south of Utrecht next to the A12 highway. Here you can take a tram that will take you to Utrecht Central Station in 12 minutes.
P+R Science Park is located east of Utrecht next to the A28 highway. Here you can take bus 28 (or tram) that will take you to the city centre in 15 minutes. I recommend getting of at Janskerkhof close to the Domsquare.
