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.

Good tour, definitely include the countryside.

4.00Bang on start and finish time, our guide Elouise was very friendly and considerate. Activity suitable for pretty much anyone comfortable on a bike, very relaxed pace, this did make it a bit harder to cycle at times as it was difficult to build up momentum, but understandable with a large group of 14 people (max 15). Good mix of city and countryside cycling, recommend including the countryside. Fun to take bicycle on the ferry across the river, just a few minutes crossing, did not take away from the cycling. Drink can and short stop at farm included.
Great Ride with Yohan!

5.00Great bike tour to the countryside just outside Amsterdam. Yohan was our guide and he made sure we made it safely back. We also enjoyed amazing fresh cheese at a local farm. The ride wasn’t too strenuous but it’s not for beginners.
An excellent way to spend...

5.00An excellent way to spend an afternoon in Amsterdam! Our tour guide Vic was a good leader and shared lots of good information about the city and history at stops along the ride. The bikes were in great condition, comfortable, and easy to ride. The countryside was beautiful and my group enjoyed getting out of the city. Would definitely do this tour again!
Great tour and great...

2.00Went on this tour yesterday. The first hour was in the busy city and over two large bridges (going uphill into the wind). This was not a slow paced relaxing ride. When we finally got to the beautiful countryside we did not slow down and did not stop to take pictures until we got to the organic cheese farm. The guide was always so far ahead of half the group. We had signed up for e-bikes because we have ridden them on tours before, but when we got on them they were extremely heavy so we switch them out for a regular bike. One person in our group hit the curb and fell off her bike and another got in an accident with another bicyclist going in the opposite direction who was going very fast. Luckily no one was hurt. It was a warm day and many of us did not have water. We thought we were going to receive a bottle of water before we started. You need to be in pretty good shape because you are cycling over 13 miles in three hours. I feel the description of their tour is accurate and should be written more realistically. The countryside was beautiful.
