Trip Overview

Our London to Amsterdam itinerary is an epic journey across Europe, from Central London via beautiful Essex countryside, to Harwich and across to the Netherlands. You'll then roam the spectacular Dutch cycle path network, taking in canalside riding and even exploring Flevoland; the extraordinary man-made province, before reaching the World Heritage City of Amsterdam.

"This was my first time cycling with Adventure Cafe; first time riding from London to Paris and my first time riding this sort of distance over 3 days. Lots of preparation had gone into this from AC prior to departing London."
