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.

The meeting place was not clear. We tried to find it, and even called for help with the directions. We ended up with another bike group at the location. And we missed our tour completely. We spoke again to someone explaining our situation. I have yet to hear back regarding any return compensation for our issue. I believe meeting place directions need to be written for those who have no idea where they are going in a foreign city.

We had every weather going on day (April) wet, windy, hail, sun. Ponchos provided and everyone was prepared for wet day and dressed accordingly-read a review saying take gloves and hat for the ride and that was sound advice. Our guides Simon and Gus were fantastic-what a team. Great commentary and facts, kept the mood light and positive with the bad weather. Felt looked after and really enjoyed the day, in spite of the awful weather. Great to see villages and houses outside city. Cloggs & Cheese farms also good fun, bought a few things from both to support the smaller local industries.

Mark, our guide was terrific and very informative. We not only rode along beautiful country roads, we also learned a lot about the history of each place we stopped at.

Really enjoyable tour. Got to see a little snapshot of Dutch landscape, villages and countryside life with wonderful guides Mark and Rinse. They were both very engaging, easy-going, fun and informative. Great way to spend half a day exploring the countryside outside Amsterdam. Fully recommend.
