We cycled through some very cute villages that we would never have seen otherwise. The farm stop was so wonderful; we saw some cute baby animals and had some delicious cheeses. Tice was great at giving us bits of history at all the stops along the way. The bike ride kind of kicked my butt, but it was absolutely worth it.”

Trade Amsterdam’s city streets for windmills, villages, farms, and harbor views on a small-group electric bike tour.

“What a great morning! Absolutely recommend this tour and the company, Those Amsterdames. We did a 2.5 hour small group tour with our knowledgeable "local" guide Kevin. The bikes are really good and provide easy riding, not too much effort required. It's a great way to see the Amsterdam countryside. Don't be put off by the cycling mayhem in the main part of the city, 5 minutes to the ferry and it becomes much calmer and more civilised. Helmets are available but very few people in Amsterdam use them, maybe they lead charmed lives. They certainly ride like they are invincible! Please do try and arrive at the time specified…”

Ride from Amsterdam to farms, canals, villages, and a windmill on a relaxed e-bike tour with Dutch cheese and countryside views.

“The electric bike country side tour was a hit! 5/5 recommend this company and bike tour through the city of Amsterdam to a nearby windmill and farm. We went with 2 small children (ages 2 and 4) and it was perfect. I communicated with the guide ahead of time to ensure the appropriate bike and seats were available for the kids. We used an electric cargo bike and both kids sat comfortably together. The kids especially loved seeing the animals and tasting the cheese. I enjoyed the serene beauty of the countryside and listening to the guide explain the history of the city.”
