About this tour

This tour is designed for expats and internationals, but locals are very welcome too. Please note: the tour is conducted entirely in English.

We start at the iconic Hovenring and head out on a 3-hour ride through the green outskirts of Eindhoven. Our first stop is the charming Oerlese Molenbakker, where we collect fresh, local ingredients for our picnic.

From there, we cycle towards a truly special spot: the end of the Eindhoven Airport runway. Here we enjoy our picnic while planes fly low right above us – an unforgettable experience.

Along the way, you’ll discover the surprising diversity of the area. We pass by Karting at De Landsard, motorcross tracks, and the nearby festival grounds giving you a glimpse of both the innovative and adventurous side of Brainport.

We finish back at the Hovenring, ending the tour with great memories and a fresh perspective on the region.
