A Monument of Amsterdam’s Past Opened in 1889, Amsterdam’s Central Station was designed by famed architect Pierre Cuypers, who also created the Rijksmuseum.

We had a wonderful tour with Leane! Well organized, and a wonderful time with our group! It was a great way to get out of the city and see some of the countryside.
We had an awesome tour! Beautiful scenery and interesting history. Easy tour for any age or skill level, we used e-bikes. Definitely recommend doing a tour with this group ! Vic was a great tour guide ☺️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had a fantastic bike tour of Düsseldorf with Gergely! His enthusiasm and friendly personality made the experience truly special. He guided us around the city with care and made us feel welcome and comfortable throughout the tour. A wonderful way to discover Düsseldorf on two wheels—we highly recommend it! Thank you, Gergely, for such a great tour! Best wishes from Germany, Doro and Max
Skip was great! The tour was a beautiful way to see the countryside
Our guide, Skip, was the BEST part. He was a great guide, made us feel safe navigating the city streets and out into the countryside, and very knowledgeable. Only saw one windmill and that was in the city and it’s now a brewery so you don’t see any working windmills, but the countryside tour was beautiful!
Our tour guide was Skip and he was fabulous. Highly recommend.
I liked riding through the country side and the tour of the farm. Riding through the city was ok, but a little nerve wracking.
Flagship Bike Tour of Amsterdam was nothing but the best! Employees were friendly, professional, enthusiastic and knowledgeable! Our tour guide, Santiago, was the best! He answered all questions asked, was friendly and funny! He kept at a pace everyone could manage easily as we had a pretty large group. Thank you Flagship Bike Tour of Amsterdam.
I loved this trip, our guide Skip was amazing!
The team is very friendly! If you have wanted to do it, prepare ahead of time!
It was a great tour! Our guide was great-too be honest I was a little nervous biking in Amsterdam but he was great at leading us through the city! I would definitely recommend this tour!
Skip was amazing, very knowledgeable and very entertaining. It was a very windy and rainy day and he made sure we had shelter and were comfortable. The farm was definitely an experience the animals were so beautiful. Cheese was delicious. The scenery breathtaking!!
I really enjoyed our bike rides though Amsterdam and the countryside farm in either Durgerdam or Ransdorp. Our selected trip on two wheels has been one of the highlights of our European tour! ❤️ Skip was a fantastic leader from whom we learnt a lot. A highly recommend this bike tour.
You get to seethe city and then off to the farm lands. The size of the sheep and chickens is crazy. The cheese is delicious.
Skip was a very good tour leader. He has a nice humble personality and he 100% knew his stuff about the regions outside as well as within Amsterdam. I strongly recommend this tour - we had a great time.
Lovely trip, enjoyed the scenery and guide. Leane was an excellent guide and Julieta was very helpful. Seeing Amsterdam on bike is great fun and being able to explore outside the city was a bonus. Lovely cheese too!
We arrived atvtge meeting point and were given bikes and instructions before meeting out tour guide. The guide tour set off at a good pace leavingvtge city. Unfortunately I was unable to continue with the full tour, and tge guide and company were both helpful during and after the tour.
Skip was excellent. Really interesting information and friendly
Outstanding day....Highly Recommend this day trip. The bike tour was easy and fun...great trip and fun..
Skip was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable and he selected great stopping points along the route. Would highly suggest Skip and this particular tour to family and friends!
Good fun and Leane was a brilliant guide. Fun trip. The farm was slightly random, seeing a few sheep and trying a plate of cheese but the scenery and knowledge from the guide on the trip was great.
This was my favorite thing we did in Amsterdam. Our tour guide Skip was amazing. He was super knowledgeable and accommodating. Thank you Skip!
Really enjoyed seeing a different part of Amsterdam . Leave was a great guide very knowledgeable & friendly .
Great tour - our guide Skip really made the tour - explaining some of the history of the city and the countryside. Bikes functioned well and they gave us a poncho for the rain.
Thw tour takes you outside of the city life. The surrounding area is beautiful from the small fishing towns to the farms. I would definitely recommend this tour . Skip had a lot of information to share.
Incredible experience. Worth the money and had so much fun. Easy and fun route with beautiful views of city and countryside.
Skip was fantastic - we had four kids 9-11 with us and he was wonderful with them. Highly recommend it! We used the non e bikes and had a blast.
It was great! Loved the country side :)
We booked this on our last day wanting to do some besides museums. The travel was easy (flat except for one minor hill on a bridge). They offer ebikes, but we went with standard and didn't have any problems. The hardest part was not taking photos or video while riding (prohibited by Dutch law), so we just ejoyed the views. We stopped a few times and were able to get photos at the stops. It was a fun way to spend our last day and see some beautiful countryside. Note: biking in downtown Amsterdam is not for the faint of heart! The rest is easy and relaxing.
I was extremely disappointed with this tour and would not recommend booking with this company. My bike wasn’t fully charged, and when I asked to swap the battery, my request was refused. Poor service from the start. The advertised cheese factory visit was a complete letdown. The farm appeared closed, all the animal gates were shut, and we couldn’t get close to any animals. Instead of watching cheese being made and learning about it, we were handed cheese on skewers with no explanation of what type it was or how it was made. The guide simply said, “There’s your cheese,” then walked off to take a phone call for around 30 minutes. Completely unprofessional! Rather than sharing information about the places we visited and the local area, the guide spent much of the tour talking about his own life. I was also under the impression we would see multiple windmills, but we saw just one. I paid more expecting a better experience but got far less than advertised. Poor service, disappointing stops and an uninformative guide made this tour absolutely not worth the money.
Very Good, guide is very good, cool spots,
Enjoyable and would definitely go again
Skip was a legend and very knowledgeable. Was awesome to have a local tour guide from the area. He was very personable and made the experience much more enjoyable!
Skip was awesome and provided us with a great experience. He was polite, helped us learn Dutch words and educated us with locations/history. Very authentic Dutch experience!
Great tour with Skip! Enjoyed the riding, scenery and commentary!
This was the best tour ever. The staff that helped us with our bikes was so friendly and gave us cute flower baskets to use. Myr was our guide and she was amazing. The bike ride was a little over 12 miles. The toughest part was leaving the bike shop and navigating Amsterdam traffic, bikes and people. Once we got past that (quickly) it was smooth sailing. I took this bike ride with my daughters (ages 13 and 15) and my 19 year old nephew. I was worried about my 13yo at first but Myr was so kind and patient with her. My 13 yo caught on quickly and then I was the slow one, haha. I highly recommend this bike tour. The ride and countryside scenery is a fantastic way to see a different part of Amsterdam. So peaceful- despite 12 miles. Bonus, our guide, Myr even provided cafe recommendations afterwards.
We had the best time!!! Sam was our guide and he was phenomenal. I highly recommend.
Hidde did a wonderful job leading us through the countryside and giving us the history of everything around. Was a lovely tour!
Sam (pronounced Sum) was the best guide! This tour was the highlight of our vacation. Getting to ride outside of the city and learn more about area was really nice. Sam was friendly, helpful, fun to ride with - he made sure we were all safe and comfortable on the tour. It was so much fun!
Skip was a great tour guide and the ride and e-bike equipment was fantastic.
Excellent trip, it was great to see parts of the city and the country as well. Skip was a great guide who looked after us and kept us informed. Only downside was the state of the farm where we tasted the cheese. What a contrast to the rest of the trip.
Elena was excellent. My wife and I are older so when we got behind, Elena would wait for us to keep the group together. So we didn’t miss any turns.
This experience is exactly what it says. One windmill you will at the edge of the city and NO more. Then straight cheese, without anything else and only 1 beverage. My guide was very nice but she didn’t make sure the electric part of my e-bike was activated and I sweated my buns off on the way there! The way back was much better with it activated! This is an okay excursion.
Amazing experience, very enjoyable. Skip our tour guide was amazing and very informative. Would highly recommend
Skip was an amazing guide. He was very thoughtful with stopping as much as each member needed. He was very informational about Amsterdam and the surrounding areas. It was less intimidating with the group.
This company is awesome. Halfway through the tour I suddenly became very sick. Our tour guide called for an uber and waited with me and my husband. Told us not to worry the bikes. Later in the afternoon the company called to see how I was doing. Also gave me a partial refund. Which I did not ask for. They really care. Do not hesitate to book a tour. C Jacoby
Relaxing ride through the countryside. Didn’t take long to escape the bustle of the city center. Ron was an excellent guide and did a great job ensuring everyone’s safety throughout the ride. This was the highlight of my short visit.
Skip was a wonderful guide!!! We truly enjoyed his expertise and the tour was lovely Highly recommend
Honestly had the greatest day! The tour was really cool seeing the windmill, some lovely villages and countryside, then having free roam of a farm at the end. Myr was full of great information and was really helpful and friendly the whole trip. Cycling was much more fun than I expected too, would definitely reccomend!
