Itinerary
Cycling is the most popular way to get around Amsterdam, and if you want to disconnect and explore the surroundings, this 2.5-hour ride is the perfect option. Guided in English by an expert, this tour will take you from the city's center to the peaceful, rural outskirts.
After meeting your friendly guide, we’ll head to the central station and take a ferry across the IJ River to begin our countryside adventure. Get away from the busy crowds and cycle along exclusive paths, exploring a more tranquil and vibrant part of the Netherlands.
We’ll follow the canals that flow into the North Sea at IJmuiden, the main route for boats entering Amsterdam.
Along the way, we’ll cross paths leading to farms, where the rural landscape will begin to emerge. Forests and lush fields blend with highways, roads, and canals, creating a picturesque scene.
The bike is ideal for exploring the Dutch countryside, areas reclaimed from the North Sea. The Dutch have mastered land reclamation, with an impressive 20% of the country’s land having been gained from the sea. As the saying goes, “God created the world, but the Dutch created the Netherlands.”
The tour will also introduce you to the fascinating system of dikes and locks that keep the water at bay. After cycling through stunning landscapes and vast farmlands, you’ll gain a deeper appreciation for this impressive system.
This tour offers flexibility, allowing the guide to tailor the experience to the group’s interests and add extra points of interest along the way. Plus, you can keep your bike after the tour if you’d like, just ask the guide for pricing and details.
If you’re staying in Amsterdam, don’t miss out on this opportunity to pedal through the authentic Dutch countryside.
