Private Countryside Bike Tour
What your day looks like
Leave the city behind and discover Amsterdam’s green southern edge on this private countryside bike tour. Over the course of 4 hours, you'll follow a scenic, relaxed route from the edge of the city through parks, forests, farmland, and riverside paths. This tour is perfect for families, couples, or small groups seeking fresh air, local charm, and iconic Dutch scenery—all by bike. Led by your own personal guide, you’ll cycle through the famous Vondelpark, pass the historic Olympic Stadium, and ride deep into Amsterdamse Bos before reaching the quiet polder lands and winding banks of the Amstel River. A highlight of the journey is a stop at Rembrandt Hoeve—a working cheese and clogs farm—followed by a photo opportunity at the historic Riekermolen windmill before heading back.
