The County Hike team
At our office in Elst, four expert staff members work to organise our walking tours. They ensure complete information and quick processing of your booking. The Pieterburen office takes care of logistics on site.
About us:
We started small in 1983 with a travel bookshop and travel agency, Fietsvakantiewinkel, and currently organise inn-to-inn cycling holidays with luggage transport in the Netherlands and Europe under the names Fietsrelax and Dutch Biketours. Our company is characterised by flexibility, efficiency and customer focus. This is reflected in quick, direct answers to all your questions and quick confirmation of your reservation. Our aim is to respond to questions and reservation requests within 24 hours.
Our prices are clear and transparent. The price stated is the price you pay. We do not charge booking, reservation, administration or other additional fees. Our routes follow the most beautiful sign-posted cycle paths in Groningen and you spend the night at excellent hotels and B&Bs. Many of our routes are cycling circuits, so you don't have to take the train or bus back at the end of your trip.

After completing my degree in tourism, I went to work abroad for 6 months. Following that wonderful trip, it was time to return to the Netherlands. Then Dutch Biketours, where I had already interned in 2012, came my way. I immediately thought, I cannot pass up this opportunity. What I enjoy most is working with different nationalities and discovering which trip suits each traveller best. When I'm on vacation myself, in addition to relaxing I love to discover a new thing or two. In 2023 County Hike came on the scene. Our director wanted to show The Netherlands on foot. That sounded like fun, so I went for it!
