Amsterdam Day Tours

Venice of the North

Amsterdam is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world, making a bike day tour the perfect way to explore its historic canals, charming neighborhoods, and iconic landmarks. A guided Amsterdam bike tour allows you to cover far more ground than a walking tour while learning about the city’s fascinating history and culture from a local expert.

Ride past famous sights such as the Anne Frank House, Rijksmuseum, and Vondelpark, explore the historic canal belt, and discover hidden courtyards and lively neighborhoods like Jordaan along the way.

Whether you stay within the city center or venture along the Amstel River into the peaceful countryside of windmills, polders, and cheese farms (visit to a clog-making farm and cheese tastings included), Amsterdam offers a cycling experience unlike anywhere else. Laten we gaan!
