My boyfriend and I just returned from cycling a loop around the Netherlands, starting and ending in Amsterdam, completing about 1300 km. This guide was almost perfect. Widing's descriptions are very detailed, and she recommends great sight-seeing. We loved the cue-sheets - sometimes the roads were hard to figure out, so knowing the exact numbers of kilometers was very helpful, and handy for ripping out of the book to put in our handlebar bags. Widing also does a great job of recommending places to eat and stay for a variety of budgets. There were a couple of gaps between routes if you want to make a loop; Holland's designated bike routes easily bridge those gaps. I recommend getting an ANWB map of those routes - this will also help you to visually plan out your route. We had a lot of trouble with the Drenthe part of the book; it seemed out of date and/or confusing. I would also recommend more detailed maps of each region, because the maps for each of Widing's routes are not detailed enough. Overall, this book was very helpful and helped us to have a low-stress, interesting, and fun cycling vacation.

Printed and bound for extra durability on the road, Bicycle Touring Holland With Excursions Into Belgium And Germany is an exciting guide to exploring a nation where one can travel virtually anywhere by bicycle - just as the natives do. Written by an Australian-born journalist who has toured the Netherlands by bike for many years, Bicycle Touring Holland covers pre-departure planning, basic information about the country including language and money matters, food and lodging issues, basic cycling facts, the best routes and sites in various parts of Holland, tips for further reading, and much more. A wealth of black-and-white maps clearly marking travel routes adds a definitive touch to this "must-have" for any cycling enthusiast visiting Holland.
