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.

Anna, our guide, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable about the Amsterdam countryside and was very friendly. She conversed about any topic we had and answered any questions we had. She showed us to some cool spots and towns as well.

I was able to book a last minute trip the morning of and was so glad I made the choice. Gus was super friendly and knew the area he took us on well. Nice group of ppl on the tour as well. The E-bikes are super easy and fun to ride. Really worth getting out of the city if you want a change of scenery. Definitely dress warm and bring rain gear as we got caught. If you have biking shorts, wear!

Hugh was excellent. Great tour, good information, clear expectations on how the biking (e bikes) would be. I much preferred this to city biking. Highly recommend

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.
