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.

We did the 5.5-hour tour with Kendra and AmsterDames Tours yesterday, and it was one of the best tours we've done anywhere. Kendra is knowledgeable, hilarious and warm. It's one of the best ways to see the Dutch countryside. Highly recommend!

So Much Fun!!
This is a 40km bike ride but the e-bikes made it very easy indeed. Kendra was a great host and guide and made the trip both entertaining and informative. Zaanze Schans itself is a very touristy attraction and, for us, probably our least favourite part (apple bacon pancakes excepted). However, the bike ride through both city and country settings was just delightful and always felt completely safe.
Operator response
Bernice, we are so glad that you loved the tour and loved our guide Kendra. Apple bacon pancakes are a highlight for us as well. We hope to see you another time that you are in Amsterdam!

My wife and I had a fantastic time! The tour was about 5 hours. We saw so many cool things. Went countryside and in the city. Got to see inside of a windmill and Tori was very informative. It seemed just a little hard towards the end when our butts started hurting a bit but I’d say worth it!
Operator response
It makes our day to hear that you had a fantastic time with Tori on our Countryside E-Bike tour! We're glad that you were able to power through until the very end 💪 Thank you for choosing Those Amsterdames!
