We'll start by cycling just 5 minutes from the bike shop to the ferry dock behind Amsterdam Central Station, where we’ll board the boat with our bikes. As we set off across the water, you’ll enjoy a peaceful ride, with beautiful views of Amsterdam’s skyline in the distance. In just a few minutes, we'll arrive in Noord, a laid-back and less touristy area of the city.

Noord’s creative vibe, quiet streets, and local charm make it the perfect spot to explore by bike, away from the crowds and hustle of the central districts.

5.00What a great way to see the villages and countryside close to Amsterdam. The riding is easy and Anna guided us expertly on the bikes and in unpacking the story of the specific reference to points of interest and the history behind the areas we rode through.

5.00Anna did a wonderful job. As a local with a passion for art and architecture she did a great job taking our family on a bike tour through nearby villages both historic - and new (a modern floating home neighborhood!). She included a couple of the iconic windmills that Holland is known for, and we biked through beautiful pastures with cows. She also provided a nice snack in the middle, and made great restaurant recommendations after.
Wonderful bike experience!

5.00Unexpected highlight of our visit to Amsterdam. Easy cycling, great guide, stunning wildflowers, tuns of birds, quaint villages and picture perfect farms with horses and spectacular white and black cows on green grass. Very knowledgeable guide on architecture and art. Great pitstop for a snack. Loved every moment of it.
