We will contact you if necessary.
It is possible to book extra nights for all holidays with a daily starting date. It is not possible to book extra nights for holidays with fixed starting dates, due to difficulties with your luggage transfer.
Yes, you can fill in your dietary needs in the online booking form under “Preferences”. The hotel chefs will take your requests into account as much as possible. It’s always good to remind the reception of your dietary needs when you check in at the hotel.
No, unfortunately we do not book flights or train journeys. You must make your own arrangements for your outward and homeward journeys.
You can’t. As soon as we receive your booking request we will contact the hotels to find out if they have room for you on the required dates. If they can accommodate you, we will send you a travel agreement per e-mail within three working days. If the hotels are unable to accommodate you on the required dates, we will contact you to confer on an alternative solution.
That depends. If you are renting bikes through us, you must pick them up at the hotel we have specified so you cannot choose to start your holiday in another town or hotel. If you are bringing your own bike you can start your round tour wherever you like, as long as the hotel has been booked through us. If you plan to leave your car at an alternative hotel of your choice for the duration of your holiday, you’d be well-advised to find out about parking costs beforehand.
As soon as we can confirm your holiday, we will send you the travel confirmation / invoice (contract) per e-mail. It will stipulate the sum of your down payment, to be paid immediately (20% of the total price of your holiday). The remaining sum is due no later than six weeks before the starting date of your holiday.
After the booking is confimed by us, you will receive the log in information for My FBT, your personal holiday page.
