Overview

Join our guided countryside bike tour to explore the beautiful Dutch countryside of Waterland north of Amsterdam. We offer two options for this tour.

The first option is our E-Bike tour, a longer route covering 37 kilometers (23 miles). This tour is for experienced cyclists and requires a minimum height of 5 feet (150 cm) to ride our comfortable E-Bikes with pedal assistance.

The second tour, suitable for both normal and e-bikes, covers about 23 kilometers (14 miles) through charming villages like Zunderdorp and Ransdorp.

Both tours include stories and photo opportunities along the way and are suitable for confident riders. Our friendly guide will meet you near Central Station and take you on a scenic route along the North Holland Canal, passing windmills and Dutch landscapes.

On the long E-bike tour, we'll also visit a traditional Dutch cheese farm to see wooden shoe and Gouda cheese making. We will make sure you will get a full Dutch experience on this tour.

I had a brilliant tour with Ashton. He was well prepared and kept us all safe and comfortable in some challenging weather. It was great to be able to stop and explore some of the adorable small villages.

Such an amazing trip through the countryside and small villages. Michael was very attentive to our group and made sure we all stuck together. Michael was also very approachable and interactive. It was a pleasure riding an e-bike for the first time rather than my normal MTB!!

“16 Stars!” (My wife) “If I come to Amsterdam again I’ll do this again” (17-year-old daughter) We’re very glad we did this. Stephan was great: flexible, friendly, knowledgeable, audible. He adjusted the tour a wee bit for us. This is perfect for those who don’t want to leave NL without cycling but who are intimidated to ride in the Amsterdam traffic. We also appreciated the substance - the history and culture of it. It was especially cool to have the water management explained in theory then see it on the trip: buying cheese below the next-door body of water. We’d been to Amsterdam before but hadn’t left the lovely/touristy city. We’re very glad we saw more to Amsterdam than the urban Centre - and not that far! This is also good for families of mixed fitness: e-bike might cause some problems in the city but they solve some in the countryside. Also: lovely bike infrastructure with flat, smoothly paved paths. (Guide Stephane probably thought my family was very positive/complimentary - maybe even “easily impressed” but this is certainly not the case).
