The 15 Best Bike Tours in the Netherlands

20 reviewed

There are more bikes here than people and the paths have their own signals, so cycling is less a novelty than the normal way to move. These 15 rides go from a gentle Vondelpark and Jordaan loop to polder routes out to a working mill and e-bike days that reach the cheese farms. Bike included, group size, distance and price for each.

“Brilliant tour of Amsterdam riding through the streets you would never have found as well as cycling through the beautiful Vondelpark was a standout. Very informative guide (Yuri - i think) made it even more enriching. Easy cycling even for someone who hadn’t been on a bike for a number of years and Sunday morning was the best time. Less traffic and much quieter. Highly recommend this tour. Very professional and informative.”

“Hahaha. Omg. Biking in Amsterdam…everyone bikes in Amsterdam. We had been in the city two days prior to renting our bikes. Two days and not once did we see any sort of mishap, until we rented bikes. My husband and I were with our adult daughters and decided to join the masses. We rented bikes from Discount Bike Rental, which is associated with A-Bike Rental & Tours. As a matter of fact, this address for Discount Bike Rentals was provided as one of four places we could rent our bikes. This came as somewhat of a surprise to Kino, the employee at DBR, but that didn’t stop him from treating…”

“The Amsterdam countryside is beautiful…green fields, lots of cows, some sheep and goats. We saw one traditional windmill and two current windmills. Our guide, Rissa, was informative at each of our stops, giving us the historical and current stories. She set a good pace and was very aware of our needs. If some of us got behind she stopped the group for all to catch up. The treat of a stroopwaffel was thoughtful. It is a long bike ride but well worth the effort. I would do it again!”
