Overview

Put on your clogs ;-) and join us on our unique guided Countryside E-Bike Ride around Amsterdam's serene Waterland region. Ideal for confident and experienced riders, you'll pedal on comfy Electrical Dutch Bikes with handbrakes and several gears. Taste the best Dutch cheese, go over the dikes and cuddle with some giant pigs on a route of 35 kilometers in total.

The adventure kicks off with a ferry ride across the River IJ, leading to a scenic route along an old canal, through green parks, and into the Dutch polder landscape. Experience Dutch culture with a windmill, dikes, and a market featuring delicious cheeses. Explore charming villages like Broek in Waterland, passing cute green houses and old churches.

On the return journey to the city center, ride along Amsterdam North's famous dike, with a chance to encounter city pigs and explore rougher parts of Amsterdam. Conclude the unique, beautiful, and culturally rich biking experience with another ferry ride to the city center!
