The Elfstedentocht from day to day
You will receive personalised travel information for each day after booking. In any case, on the first day you will be expected at your start hotel (also the finish hotel) in the afternoon where, if you come by car, you will park your car during your cycling holiday. After checking in (between 15.00 and 19.00) and moving into your room(s), you will enjoy the amenities of the hotel and its surroundings. Well rested and informed, you will start your first day of cycling the next day based on your personal itinerary. Based on this, you can already choose the sights and scenic attractions to visit at home. You will find these in the thick travel guide and on the Eleven Cities route map, which you will receive after booking. On the last day, you will cycle back to the hotel where you started the tour, the start hotel, where your car is parked. Once your luggage has been delivered by the Friesland Holland driver (between 09:00 and 18:00), you can go home. This also means the end of the package, but if you don’t want to return home yet, you can book an extra night (in advance).
Luggage transport
The luggage service, roughly from late March to early October, is included in the price of a cycling holiday. Friesland Holland will transport your bags from hotel to hotel between 09:00 and 18:00, provided with a Friesland Holland luggage label issued to you. So you can visit places to eat and drink and places of interest without worrying about valuable luggage on your bike. Please note that the luggage to be carried must be ready at the reception at 09:00 for transport to the next hotel. The delivery time may be extended due to exceptional circumstances, but these are rare. The driver will only take luggage with a Friesland Holland label. If you take the luggage yourself, for example because you are going home early and do not want to wait for the suitcases, or have to break off the journey due to circumstances, please report this to Friesland Holland. This avoids unnecessary delays due to the driver searching for your luggage and people at the travel organisation’s office worrying about travellers. Also important: your suitcase(s) or bag(s) – one per person and please no heavier than 15 kg (think of the courier’s back!) – should be of robust stackable quality. No plastic bags and so on. Friesland Holland cannot be held liable for any damage to your luggage, such as a loosened wheel or handle, which only occurs with inferior quality suitcases. Incidentally, Friesland Holland is only responsible for the luggage from the time of collection from a hotel until the time of delivery to the reception of the next hotel.
Pech assistance with mobility guarantee:
The price of every Friesland Holland cycling package includes breakdown assistance with mobility guarantee. With this unique service, you are assured of replacement transport (luxury bike) in the province of Friesland, with the exception of the islands, if you have a breakdown or accident on the road with your own bike or a rental bike and it cannot be repaired on site or in the workshop of a bike shop nearby within an hour. You will then be loaned a replacement electric bike with many gears and bags free of charge for the duration of your holiday and/or be taken to the day’s final destination by the Friesland Holland Assistance vehicle free of charge. The driver of the Friesland Holland Assistance trolley will normally take your own defective bike to the start hotel, but can, upon special request and in consultation with the assistance driver, take your own defective bike to a bike repair shop near the accommodation address for repair. Of course, the cost of repairing your own bike will be at your expense. In any case, you can always continue your journey with Friesland Holland Assistance. The service is provided from late March to early October, 7 days a week. Tip: Rent-a-Topbike’s luxury rental bikes are equipped with the best anti-puncture tyres. If you are going to ride the Eleven Cities Tour on your own bike, we recommend you also have anti-puncture tyres fitted, for example Marathon E-Plus with multiple puncture protection layers (level 7). The Friesland Holland bicycles are also equipped with these. The chance of a puncture is then minimal.
Extra night
If you no longer feel like going home at the end of the last day of your arrangement, Friesland Holland can book an extra night’s stay in the start and finish hotel – or in another Eleven Cities Route hotel – for you. It is highly advisable to book this extra night while booking your package, due to the high occupancy rate of our hotels.
