Don't limit your exploring of Holland to just the Amsterdam city center - windmills, farms and water locks are only a short bike ride away! Your expert guide will navigate you through the lowlands around Amsterdam where you will be blown away by breath-taking landscapes. Have a look at traditional farms, discover how the Dutch have expertly managed flooding, learn about the delicious cheese and marvel at the tallest wooden windmill in the country on this 2.5-hour bike tour.
Your Amsterdam Countryside Bike Tour meets at the Chinese Restaurant Sea Palace and finishes at Amsterdam Centraal station.
The Holland you won't find in the Amsterdam city center
Your local expert guide starts this bike tour the best way possible - on a boat! You'll head straight out of the city center by crossing the river into the trendy neighborhood of Noord, before finding yourself in the real Dutch countryside. You'll discover Dutch farms, the ingenuity of the giant locks, and even the country's tallest wooden windmill, all in the famous Dutch polders.
Picturesque views and a leisurely bike ride
This is probably our most relaxing tour, as you escape the hustle and bustle of the city streets and find yourself surrounded by the green of the countryside and the blue of the water. You'll learn how the Dutch have mastered not only cheese but water (one third of the country lies below sea level), and have some beautiful pictures for your photo album that most visitors to Amsterdam don't get!
Special offer from our friends at MacBike
On this Amsterdam bike tour, your ticket price includes the rental of high quality MacBikes, but if you want to rent your bike for even longer after the tour, the MacBike guys will give you a special rate! Even the Dutch will be impressed by your riding skills at the end of this trip.

Our business is connecting great guides and smart travelers, and we're proud that so many local guides employ us to welcome travelers like you on their journey through some of the world's best cities. No two tours are alike, and the sites, stories, and length of the tour will vary depending on what your freelance guide decides is best. That's why the tours we promote never get stale or feel scripted, and why both independent guides and savvy travelers prefer SANDEMANs

Walking tour + bike tour with Kor
Had an amazing day with our highly entertaining tour guide Kor. Did the free walking tour and the countryside bike tour, and had a great time on both. Kor was very friendly and funny, and was helpful in recommending places to eat and see. Finished off the day at a comedy show which he recommended which was the perfect wrap up to a wonderful day in Amsterdam. Thank you Kor!
Thanks to our tour guide Ilya I really was able to enjoy this city much more than expected. I did three tours with Ilya. Her was so knowledgable and entertaining at the same time. And I really reccomend bicycle tour. Dutch countryside is a must-see.
Amazing! Must go with Katalisa to the swimming pond
My partner and I were lucky enough to do the walking tour as well as the countryside bike tour with Katalisa! The tours were great the knowledge and passion she shared was amazing! Definitely recommend getting out of the city to the north and ride around the countryside! We were lucky enough to take a quick dip in a local swimming spot which was so special!
This is a great way to see the Dutch Countryside while learning about the history as well. Paul was a really great tour guide and kept a good pace for all levels of bike riders. We did roughly 20 miles but we stop to see sights along the way. I don’t bike very often like I used to and I did just fine. If you need a break from the busyness of Amsterdam this is the best way. They provide a bike for the tour which is really nice. I really recommend this!!
Went on the bike tour with Paul, who lead us into the countryside which isn't as far from Amsterdam as you think! A mixture of old and new, you'll find the riding pretty easy (but it definitely helps if you've done it before). The countryside is beautiful and an excellent addition to your Amsterdam visit.
We had a great tour with our guide Paul! The tour was very nice, especially with the nice weather we had. It‘s an easy tour and easy to handle for everybody. The tour was a highlight of our trip and we highly recommend it.
Select Tours focus on a particular area or district of a city, a certain aspect of its history or culture, or take you outside the city on a day trip. Select Tours are perfect for those who have enjoyed an introduction to the city and wish to delve deeper into the stories the city has to offer. These tours often venture further afield and make use of local public transport.
As with the Free Tour, Select Tours are provided by local freelance guides in partnership with SANDEMANs NEW Europe, who bring their personal flair and expert knowledge to these specifically themed tours. Select tours have a fixed ticket price - we recommend purchasing your ticket in advance, either during a Free Tour or online.
