Details

Leave the bustle of the city behind on a countryside bike tour from Amsterdam. Regardless of which route you choose, your guide will take you to the outskirts of the city and the countryside beyond, stopping along the way so your guide can share interesting anecdotes and background.

Your tour begins in central Amsterdam at your chosen time and meet your guide who will provide a brief introduction to Amsterdam’s history. Enjoy a ferry ride over the IJ river, passing by landmarks like the EYE Film Institute and the Krijtmolen d'Admiraal windmill. If you've chosen the long tour, ride your electric bike through some 23 miles (37 kilometers) through the countryside, making a stop at a traditional Dutch cheese farm and a wooden clog workshop. The short tour covers 14 miles (23 kilometers) and uses a standard bike. Pass charming medieval villages like Zunderdorp and Ransdorp, with opportunities to taste farmhouse cheeses and observe local wildlife.

Your tour ends back at the original departure point.
