Description

Personally crafted tour, and the only small group tour in Amsterdam. Real conversations, with flexibility to stop for those perfect photo moments. We'll visit working windmills and meet the people who run them, cycling through the peaceful 't Twiske nature reserve on paths that tour buses can't reach, and our guides know the local stories, and hidden spots that make this journey special. With comfortable e-bikes you'll spend your energy enjoying the scenery, not fighting traffic. Most of our route runs through countryside and dedicated bike paths—you'll barely notice you're cycling 40km. Some notes: Must be comfortable riding a bike and able to cycle. Minimum height: 1.50m (4'9") for adults, 1.55m (5'1") for children Limited kids' bikes available for riders 1.40m-1.55m (4'7"-5'1") - message us for availability Tours operate rain or shine (high-quality ponchos provided) Helmets available at our shop No refunds for no-shows, late arrivals, or cancellations
