Windmill, Dairy Farms & Countryside Electric Bike Tour
Description
Small group tour - Max 10 participants A short ferry ride and an easy cycle through the north of the city and we’ll reach the Waterlands, the countryside just outside of Amsterdam. Soon it’s cows and farmers’ signs offering up freshly made ice cream or milk. We'll discuss water and land management, see an old-school windmill, explain why the Dutch are so bike-crazed, and how they used these paths during the Second World War in search of the goods they needed to survive. There will be plenty of photo opportunities along the way as we cruise through a few villages and stop to take it all in. Because the Netherlands is relatively flat, one does not need to be in top shape to partake and the electric bike makes it a breeze. We'll spend most of our time outside the city for a relaxed cycle journey.

Kendra was an Excellent guide! Informative and fun!
Thanks for sharing your experience of our countryside e-bike tour! We'll pass on your kind words to Kendra and hope to see you again soon!
Great tour. Would do the longer 5-6h tour next time. So much fun getting out of the city and visiting the countryside Just need to be able to add a beer or coffee stop to make it even better Bikes were so good, power if needed but really new and nice to ride Kevin our guide struggled with English a bit as he is originally from the US (joke), but seriously he was super funny & nice and really made a huge effort to get to know everyone and regularly checked in to see if all was well. Would highly recommend this tour and perhaps consider the longer tour as 2.5 hours flew past really quickly.
Hi Jasonn. It's really good to hear you had a fun time on the e-bike 2.5 tour and Kevin is funny and a great tour guide and we like your sense of humour. We would be happy to see you on your next trip and on the longer tour you can have a beer. Thank you for your five star review.
This was such a great tour. Bikes were comfortable, the ride was so scenic and beautiful, and our tour guide Gabe was absolutely fantastic. A must do while in Amsterdam! Thanks for a memorable day Gabe!
We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience of our countryside e-bike tour. It’s fantastic to hear that Gabe took such good care of you and that the bikes and scenery were just right. Thanks for riding with us, and we hope to see you in Amsterdam again!
Lovely trip to the Amsterdam countryside! Beautiful route, easy central location for departure/arrivals, comfortable bikes. Definitely worth the price. Guide was friendly and shared interesting facts along the way, but was new to the city/country and so couldn't answer questions if they were outside the script. I've noticed this throughout Amsterdam, as there are so many international and young folks that finding a local or more experienced guide is difficult. You will enjoy a great day with Those Amsterdames!
Thank you so much for the kind words and for taking the time to share this — really glad the route, bikes, and price all landed well for you! On the guide note: it's true she's newer to Amsterdam, but most of our guides have actually called NL home for 20+ years, with several having become Dutch themselves (and a few who were born here). That mix is something we're proud of — it means real depth, not just script-reading. That said, we're always on the lookout for new talent too, and your guide is a great example: still building her local knowledge, but she brings a genuine passion for this city and the kind of playful, fun energy that fits our tours perfectly. Hope that side of her came through on the day, even if she couldn't answer every off-script question yet! Thanks again for riding with us — hope to have you back for another one soon.
Julia was supernice. Lovely trip 🎉🌻
Thank you for leaving Julia a lovely review of the countryside e-bike tour! Hope to see you again soon.
Had an amazing time. Kevin was so great. Really informative, knowledgeable and fun to ride along with.
Your kind words just made Kevin’s day! We’d love to welcome you back for another rider at Those Amsterdames whenever you're back in Amsterdam again.
What a fabulous tour! We did this tour this afternoon with Kevin as our guide and it was so enjoyable. Kevin was super friendly and had a lot of interesting information to share, the bikes were comfortable and fun to ride, and the countryside was beautiful.
Thanks Maree! We are so happy to hear that your afternoon with Kevin was nothing short of fabulous. Glad that everything came together nicely for you on our Countryside E-bike tour. We hope to host you on another adventure in the future!
This was the highlight of our trip! It was an easy and very pleasant ride, perfect even for bikers who are not that confident like me. Jasper was a wonderful guide!

Those Amsterdames country side bicycle tour was an excellent afternoon. Our guide Kevin was a lot of fun and super knowledgeable about Amsterdam and the surrounding areas. He truly seemed to enjoy spending a couple hours with us in the tour. It was fun to get out of the hustle of the city and see some nearby villages..best part is stopping for an ice cream!! The e-bikes are easy to ride and the pace was perfect. I can’t wait to go back and book the longer tour with this fine company.
We're so glad that you had fun and learned a lot with Kevin on our Countryside E-bike tour! It's great to hear that our e-bikes helped make your adventure out of the city a breeze 🍦 We'd love to host you again at Those Amsterdames next time you're in town!
Wonderful afternoon with Jasper. My wife and I enjoyed it immensely!
Thank you both so much for this lovely review of our Countryside E-bike tour! It always means a lot to hear when couples share a memorable experience with us. Jasper will be delighted to know he helped make your afternoon special! We hope to see you both again on a future visit.
