Q: What will we see and learn that we won’t if we just stay in Amsterdam?
Countryside Tour
A: So much. Within 30 minutes of the tour starting you will have ridden through the urban north of the city, an area you are unlikely to visit otherwise; ye’ll have seen little house-boat villages and soon be taking in the expanse of lush, green fields and wetlands that surround Amsterdam. You’ll literally be able to see how such a famous city takes its place within way less known but more humble surroundings. Ye’ll discover other beautiful little villages and towns and witness the way that the region has been fashioned in the nexus where land meets water.
City Tour
A: So much, while you venture through Amsterdam, traversing neighbourhoods that you are unlikely to see otherwise & pedalling through 800 years of history while being ever immersed in the present.
Together, we’ll venture through local green pastures and small villages, embraced by the peace and quiet of idyllic rural Holland. Natural bird reservoirs, windmills, quaint farmhouses and insanely beautiful biking paths all lay at the doorstep of this famous city and we are gonna’ take you there!
Q: How much distance will we cover?
Countryside Tour
A: Our Countryside Tour ranges around 15 – 22km. Expect 1.5 – 2 hours of cycling, with the rest being photo opportunities and enlightening explanations about your surroundings). It helps that the country is flat as a pancake too!

Q: What’ll we see that we won’t do on other countryside bike tours?
Countryside Tour
A: The area that we take you to is not a great hotspot for international tourism. This is not for lack o’ beauty and charm, it just doesn’t host famous sites like Zaanse Schans or some cheese farm that found its way into Lonely Planet in the early 2000s. Rather, the area we take you to is the real deal. It is an authentic and unique part of Holland that is a dream to cycle through. You won’t just see a windmill, you’ll experience why the hell windmills actually became such a big factor here. We can’t guarantee that you’ll meet someone dressed as a Dutch milk maid pretending to stir cheese curd, but you’ll sure as shit see and smell the cows that the milk came from.
