About this activity

Hi friends!

A very warm welcome and good job! You found the top rated and safest bike tour in Amsterdam! During 2 hours of nonstop fun on a typical Dutch bike you will be fully immersed in the local Amsterdam biking culture.

You will bike along a carefully selected route of pretty precincts, calm canals, neat neighborhoods, quiet quarters and daring drawbridges. We will make frequent stops and showcase house boats, leaning houses, repurposed industrial buildings, typical Amsterdam architecture and chocolate tasting.

This once in a lifetime biking experience is a fun and easy way to explore Amsterdam with friends for a day, away from the tourist mayhem and the familiar tunes of the big tour operators. Instead, our guides tell original stories based on their personal experience living in Amsterdam.

Biking along the hidden gems of Amsterdam, your guide reveals the secrets of Dutch liberalism and Amsterdam culture. Are you ready to meet the real Amsterdam?
