What To Expect
Amsterdam Centraal
A Monument of Amsterdam’s Past Opened in 1889, Amsterdam’s Central Station was designed by famed architect Pierre Cuypers, who also created the Rijksmuseum. Built on thousands of wooden pilings driven into marshy ground, this grand station became the city’s primary gateway. Today, it stands as a blend of history and innovation, linking Amsterdam’s storied past with its vibrant present.

5.00This was such a fun experience! Our guide Santi was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. The ride was mostly flat and easy. It was very windy that day so that made for some extra resistance. My favorite part was the countryside scenery and the baby lambs and cows 🥰🥰 would definitely recommend tour!
Lovely bike tour

5.00We had a great time on our bike tour, it is such an amazing way to see the city and the country side! Our guide Skip was fantastic - super knowledgeable and kind. The farm was really lovely, saw baby cows, lambs and ponies and ate delicious cheese with a beautiful scenery. The bike ride is beautiful - it is overwhelming in the city, but calm once you’re out! We had a wonderful tour, and a wonderful guide Skip! Thank you! Would highly recommend!

5.00Thijs was a great tour guide! Always had a smile and was very knowledgeable. He knew a bunch about the city and showed us parts of Amsterdam we wouldn’t have seen otherwise.
Beautiful route, but disappointing stops

3.00We joined the Windmill, Cheese and Countryside Bike Tour and overall enjoyed the ride itself. The route through the countryside was beautiful and well chosen, and our guide was friendly and professional. However, the stops along the way were rather disappointing. The so-called “cheese farm” was a very simple, somewhat run-down place. There were toilets, but no indoor space to rest or warm up, which made it quite uncomfortable on a windy and chilly day. The “cheese tasting” included only two types of cheese and a few soft drinks, which felt very minimal. We had hoped for a proper tasting experience, maybe with local products to buy and a bit of atmosphere, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. In short: a nice bike tour through lovely scenery, but the destinations themselves didn’t quite live up to the expectations.
Worth every penny!

5.00Thijs (apologies if I’ve misspelt your name) was a superb tour guide; enthusiastic and friendly. The weather wasn’t ideal (sideways rain and blowing a hoollie) but we were smiling ear to ear the whole way. What a superb way to see the area, hear about the history and do something different! Would DEFINITELY recommend!
Great ride, e-bikes made it effortless!!

5.00Tisse gave a wonderful tour. The windmill was very cool and the countryside is absolutely stunning. The stop by the farm for snacks and sodas was a nice way to end the day. The e-bike was very helpful and were highly active young(ish) people!
Great way to get out of the city.

5.00I had a brilliant time on the tour and our guide Skip was amazing. He always kept good care of us and was super knowledgeable about the city and the surrounding areas we explored. Would definitely recommend if you want to cycle whilst in Amsterdam but don’t want to endure the city centre stress the entire time.
