Amsterdam Countryside and Villages Bike Tour
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
Depart from the city center, close to Central Station, and transfer to the Waterland District, just 15 minutes north of central Amsterdam. Riding comfortable bikes, you can admire a pancake flat scenery of gentle brooks, wooden houses and, naturally a windmill.
Led by an experienced guide, you will pass through picturesque villages and towns, pedaling alongside the banks of the dikes and waterways that gave the Waterland District its name. Reclaimed from the sea by the entrepreneurial Dutch, the land is as full of history as it is of water.

5.00Great trip. It was amazing to cycle round the villages; visit a farm shop for ice-creams; cross the river by ferry like the local Amsterdammers. Bikes were in great condition. Have booked another tour for our up-coming return visit to the city.
Fun day

5.00Great ride! You get a good taste of the less populated side of the area. Good stops for lunch, and a walk around a small town. Nice workout bonus too.
Lovely day out in the countryside

5.00This was our second bike tour with Yellow Bikes in Amsterdam. We went on the 6 hour tour across the ferry into the countryside of Northern Amsterdam. It was easy cycling, made even more so by the electric bikes. David was our guide and was very knowledgeable. It was interesting to see the countryside and local villages. The living village where we stopped for lunch, was very quaint and it was great to see windmills for which of course The Netherlands is famous. I loved the whole day out and would be happy to go again.
