General information

Tour overview

This unique cycling tour with up to 400 participants from all over the world will lead us from the Dutch flower capital of Amsterdam through the BeNeLux countries to the banking metropolis of Frankfurt. We will start cycling through the flat but windy Netherlands. When we reach the southern parts of the Netherlands, it will get more and more hilly. We cross Belgium and Luxembourg with the Ardennes and then reach the Moselle valley. From here only the Hunsrueck and Eifel heights will challenge us before we reach Frankfurt, where we will celebrate a week full of joy, sports and companionship.

On our tours we offer a broad range of services to provide you a very special experience. Even not well trained cyclists could manage to ride the daily distances. And if you really need to finish a stage earlier, our pickup service will bring you and your bike to the daily destination.

The mixture of different languages, nationalities and cultures creates the unique GBI spirit. And even rookies will perceive this spirit not later than the second day.

Are you ready for this challenge? We cycle for charity!
