We are proud to be Amsterdam's smallest bike tour company! The number of participants per group is limited and we guarantee you to be in a group of no more then 12 persons. This ensures a fun, safe and high quality bike tour.
Our countryside bike tour (total distance: 30 km / 18 miles) is a great break away from the city. On this leisurely bike ride you will learn about the Dutch history and our on going battle agains the water. The beautiful landscapes lay below sea level which you will see with your own eyes while riding your bike over the embankments that keep our feet dry.
We'll be passing picturesque farmers and fishermen villages and see the big five of Holland on this Dutch safari. (cows, cows, cows, cows, cows) ;)
Halfway through the tour we enjoy a relaxing break to hydrate and taste the world's best slice of apple pie in the picturesque village of Holysloot. This is the perfect fuel to keep us going and head to our favourite windmill in the region: a monument from 1792!

5.00Fantastic bike tour and our guide, Pierce, was AMAZING. We learned a lot about many aspects of Dutch life outside of Amsterdam. It is a lot of biking which we loved but requires a certain level of fitness and bike skill!
Great trip. Loved it. Amazing.

5.00This is one of the best ways to escape the city for half a day. I almost missed my chance, but they were kind enough to rebook me to 5 Nov 2025. And somehow the stars are all aligned today. From the guide, to the weather, to the mix of participants - everything was perfect. (1) The guide. Our guide for the tour was Pearse. His enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the areas made the tour engaging and made me appreciate the rich heritage and beauty of the country even more. (2) The bicycles. I noticed all the bicycles are well maintained, they even looked new. The shop where the meet up point is is also very clean and spotless. (3) The itinerary. The routes and the pit stops are perfect blend of scenic beauty, local culture and refreshing exploration. (4) The group. There were 8 of us. 2 French, 1 Aussie, 1 Scottish, 2 English, 1 Singaporean and 1 Malaysian (me). Everyone was nice to everyone. (5) Lastly, the weather. We were lucky to have a perfect day to enjoy the ride. ** And yes, this is a highly recommended tour.
The best choice for a Sunday morning
