Classic Cape Cod for 6th Graders



Our all–time most popular European trip!

MODERATE BIKING      30 DAYS

In Holland, you cycle along country lanes past fields of cows or sheep and along the canals – sleepy tree–lined canals or bustling canals alive with boat taxis, barges and houseboats waiting to pass under the raised drawbridges. Shop for fresh bread and cheese for a picnic beneath an old windmill.


Maybe you'll buy yourself a pair of wooden shoes! In Amsterdam you'll see Rembrandt's and Van Gogh's paintings and take a sobering tour of the Anne Frank House. Wheel your bikes onto the ferry in Holland and off in Belgium. Glide along picturesque bike paths into beautiful Brugges, where you can climb the ancient bell tower, watch lace being hand–made or compare Belgian chocolate to Dutch.


Your group will cycle past old–world farms, along country lanes lined with rows of tall poplars, and through tiny European villages little–changed since the Middle Ages. Along the way, you'll stop often to explore castles, soaring cathedrals, and elegant chateaux. In Paris, you tour all the major sights – the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre, the Left Bank and much more, as well as take a day trip to see the wonders of Versailles.
