Amsterdam's Countryside Half-Day Bike Tour in Small Group

Cycle through the countryside without the worry of being left behind with this small-group bike tour from Amsterdam. In a small group, you’ll enjoy a more intimate way to discover the landscapes beyond the city. Follow a guide at a leisurely pace for 18 miles (30 kilometers), and see farms, fishing villages, and, as always in Holland, a lot of cows. Halfway through the tour make a stop in Holysloot for a slice of apple pie (own expense) to refuel for the rest of your journey.

Waterland (Pass By)

This tour takes place in the Waterland region, north from Amsterdam. Hop on and ride your bike through this gorgeous area of the typical polder landscapes and farmlands below sea level.

Durgerdam (Pass By)

Ride your bike through old fishermen villages and learn about water management and how the Dutch manage to live below sea level.

Holysloot

We are halfway through the tour when we arrive in Holysloot, a tiny farmer's village in the middle of the countryside. Time for a break at the love restaurant 'het Schoolhuis', in the former school of the village. The apple pie served here is world famous in the area and great fuel for the rest of our tour!

Ransdorp

You will learn about the interesting history of the 80-years war between Holland and Spain and see the tower of Ransdorp, the oldest building in the area.

Krijtmolen d'Admiraal

What would a countryside tour in Holland be without seeing a windmill? Indeed! At the end of our tour you will pass by this gorgeous windmill from 1792 and learn about the old mill industry of Holland.
