What You Will Do
Small group tour with 8-10 guest.
There’s nothing better than spending a summer's day riding through the the countryside of Holland. A short ferry ride and an easy cycle through 'noord' and we’ll reach the countryside. Soon it’s cows and farmers’ signs offering up freshly made ice-cream and milk.
There will be plenty of photo opportunities as we cruise to the Dutch Heritage site of the Zaanse Schans where you’ll have free time to explore, checkout some cheese and clog stalls, or simply relax. We'll return via Zaandam and its famous Intelhotel, spending most of our time outside Amsterdam.
One does not need to be fit but the ability to be physically active over the course of the tour is a must. The use of electric bikes on this tour will certainly help make the roughly 40km tour a breeze.
Please note: The height requirement for the standard bikes is 1,63m (5’3’’). I do have a few bikes that are suitable for shorter individuals, message with your height to ensure availability.

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.
