E-Fatbike Tour In The Footsteps Of Vincent Van Gogh

Discover the area where Vincent Van Gogh created a quarter of his works and experience the places he painted and sketched for yourself. In some places you literally ‘walk’ through the painting.

This tour has been developed in collaboration with the Van Gogh Village museum in Nuenen and you will follow in his footsteps in Eindhoven and Nuenen.

You experience the places (visible and now invisible) where his Eindhoven painter friends lived and where he got his painting supplies. You can also see the many places he captured such as watermills, churches, windmills and nature reserves. Of course, the place where he made one of his most famous works ‘The Potato Eaters’ is not missing. You will also see the beautiful Van Gogh church with the place where he posted his letters to Theo opposite.

The Van Gogh Village Museum Nuenen (included)
An important part of this unique tour is the recently expanded Van Gogh Village Museum in Nuenen. The visit to this magnificent museum includes an audio system (Dutch, English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Chinese and Japanese). There is no place in the Netherlands where you can get so close to the painter. Nuenen alone has 14 locations that were painted or sketched by Vincent van Gogh.

You will leave between 10:30 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. at your discretion and return the bike between 5:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m.

What is an E-Fat bike?
On this tough, robust and urban E-Fatbike you only make a slow rotating movement with the pedals without applying force. The speed is up to 25 km per hour and there is plenty of time to enjoy everything around you. The range depends on the pedal assist you use; between 60 km and 100 km. You do not need a driver’s license but some cycling experience is necessary. There is no throttle and there is no helmet requirement.

What is a web app?
Discover the unique and innovative web app we developed for individual self-guided tours! After purchase, you will receive a link to the web app which you can access 24 hours before the start of your booked tour. The web app allows you to independently follow the route of the purchased tour at your own pace. No preparation is required and you can start enjoying immediately without worrying about the route. No need to download a separate app on your phone.

This intuitive web app gives you access to comprehensive information, navigation, photos, address and helpful tips for each stop in several languages. If your phone supports it, you can even have the text read to you along the way.

On the first pages of the web app you will find a detailed explanation of how it works. Do you still have questions along the way or need help? Then the digital help desk is ready for you via WhatsApp.
