Overview
We may be Amsterdam’s smallest bike tour company, but that’s exactly our charm! We keep our groups to no more than 12 people, ensuring a fun, safe experience with plenty of personal attention.
Join us for a leisurely 18-mile (30 km) countryside ride, a refreshing escape from the buzz of the city. You’ll learn about the Netherlands’ never-ending battle against the water while cycling over embankments below sea level—literally seeing how we stay dry.
Pedal through quaint farmer and fishing villages, spotting our version of a “big five” along the way—(spoiler alert: it’s all about the cows!). Midway, we’ll pause in the picture-postcard village of Holysloot to enjoy a well-earned break and the tastiest slice of apple pie around. It’s the perfect pick-me-up before continuing to our favorite local windmill, a centuries-old landmark dating back to 1792!

Bike tour in countryside with Dutch Apple Pie!
K2627BPsusans, Sept 2025
Very relaxing and enjoyable, highly recommended. Sipko, our tour guide, was very informative and fun! We fed cows, stopped to see a windmill, rode over the Dike, and had a wonderful slice of Dutch apple pie. It was a great way to see the countryside.
Beautiful Ride

We had an incredible time, our host wa: kind,knowledgeable, and make the tour exciting. It’s a little bit of a tough ride at times especially if you are an older couple. The scenery is unreal, out in the countryside is so green, so lush and we got lucky with a sunny day. I’m so happy we listened to the advice of a friend to take this tour. Was so worth it
A great introduction to the Netherlands

Excellent tour, we learned s few interesting things about Dutch history and infrastructure. We saw some beautiful countryside, ate delicious apple pie and had a great time cycling. Our guide, William, was very friendly and we enjoyed chatting as a group.
Worth it!
Samantha K, Sept 2025
William was our guide, he was great! We had a super small group of 4 on our tour. I hadn’t biked much plus had an existing injury and while it was challenging, William made sure to wait/slow down to keep the group together. There were several stops for pictures and breaks. The half way stop was so beautiful and the pie is a must. Would recommend this to anyone wanting to see outside the city and learn more about Amsterdam.
