Description

Explore the Rhine River in the best possible way, follow us for an incredible day cycling along this Dutch beauty. We will leave from Amersfoort and then discover the farmlands, rivers, windmills, castles, trenches and so many other wonders along the 65 kilometers of our tour.

For this incredible trip, we’ll first cycle on farmlands to reach the historic town of Wijk bij Duurstede passing by Den Treek and Sandenburg. This beautiful town is known for being the protagonist of famous paintings, such as the one by Jacob van Ruisdael, which shows the stunning Duurstede Castle, Saint John’s Church and Ruisdaels windmill. We’ll make sure to stop by for a photo opportunity.

Then, we’ll cycle towards Amerongen, a charming village with its own castle (Kasteel Amerongen), windmill and church. We’ll then cross Amerongse Berg to cycle along Valleikanaal back to Amerfoort. On this last stretch, we’ll see the historic Dutch defence system against floods and the Germans. There are still trenches and bunkers to explore.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
