Starting from the famous harbour of Volendam, you can cycle through the beautiful Waterland region and visit iconic Dutch villages such as Edam, Monnickendam and Marken. Along the way you will pass endless green meadows, canals, traditional farms and breathtaking views over the lakes and dikes that make this part of the Netherlands world famous.
Within just one hour you can reach Edam, known for its narrow historic streets, cozy canals, unique boutiques and the famous Dutch cheese market. Another beautiful stop is Monnickendam, where you can enjoy picturesque harbours, authentic Dutch architecture and relaxing waterfront terraces.
One of the highlights of the route is the former island of Marken, connected by a spectacular dike road surrounded by water. From Marken you can even take the famous Volendam-Marken Express boat back to Volendam while bringing your bike on board.
This self-guided sightseeing experience is perfect for couples, families, friends and groups looking for a fun, active and unforgettable way to discover the real Netherlands. Enjoy the freedom, atmosphere and scenery that make cycling in Volendam one of the most loved activities in the region.

We had fantastic customer service from Rent and Event. We only needed to hire two bikes as our rental property had two existing bikes. But even still, the lady who served us showed us how to navigate the locks on our current bikes. We were given routes, tips and directions as well as vouchers for restaurants.These were very good value. All in alll an excellent experience
When we came to pick up the bike, our order was not registered in the system. But, the staff did a quick check in their email and found the order. After that, we got a brief explanation about the route we can take etc. He suggested the suitable bikes for the whole family. The rest was just a lovely biking ride trip in the area. Definitely a recommended service.
After reading reviews of Waterland, we took a public bus to Volendam, renting 2 bikes from this company. Easy walk from bus stop. The staff were so helpful, spoke english, fitted 3 speed bikes to us, gave us a very good detailed map and off we went. We biked a loop through Monnickendam, out the causeway to Marken and boarded the ferry back to Volendam. The bike rental also set us up with ferry tickets (including bikes). So convenient! Highly recommend this bike rental company.
Rented a chopper today, had a very nice day. Finally something other than a regular bike or scooter, I think a gap in the market. Friendly staff and I will certainly be back.
Tutto si è svolto nella più completa professionalità da parte del personale del noleggio. Le biciclette erano efficienti, pulite e ci sono state date informazioni dettagliate su quel che era il percorso che avevamo pianificato. Sono molto contento del servizio e sicuramente lo consiglierei a chi dovesse cercare questo tipo di esperienza.
Loueur charmant, attentif et plein de bons conseils, vélos en parfait état, parcours magnifique. Tout était parfait
The two guys who manage the rental are very kind and organized. Numerous bicycles with a lot of variety on offer. The ride to Marken is also doable as a family, just be careful of the wind!!
We rented 7 bikes last Monday to cycle a beautiful trip through Waterland. On arrival there were 7 very nice bikes waiting for us and we were welcomed by very nice staff! This certainly contributed to our beautiful bike ride.
For a nice price, a beautiful route allowed cycling, bikes turned out to be brand new .definitely worth repeating
Super nice bike ride made from the europarcs resort , very nice area to cycle through. Zuiderwoude Randorp , Durgerdam highly recommended!
It was a fantastic bike ride we made from Volendam! We were lucky with the summer weather (and that in September!) but apart from that the bike ride was fantastic! We drove from Volendam to Monnickendam, then to Broek in Waterland (really recommended, so beautiful!) and then via Zuiderwoude to Uitdam. It was a beautiful trip with nice stops at a mill, a cheese farm, the port of Monnickendam and the pancake house in Broek in Waterland. In Uitdam we rented sups with which we paddled around on the water, not kept dry of course! Then we drove to Marken, stopped at the lighthouse and then took the boat back. What a beautiful route! Highly recommended to do when visiting Volendam! The surrounding villages have so much to offer!
Ridden around on the e-fatbike from Volendam to Edam to warden, Mediation and back again via Edam! Super experience!
We rented on holiday 3 regular bikes, 1 bike trailer and a bike seat. This reservation would be confirmed to us by telephone. Until the day before we hadn't heard anything, so I went there myself and it turned out that they never confirm by phone. Our reservation was just booked. The next day we picked up the bikes. Instead of a bicycle seat, a children’s bike was ready, which they luckily quickly changed. The straps in the bike trailer were long-lasting on one side and no longer usable, on the other hand I stabbed each other wrongly (we rectified the latter ourselves after our daughter escaped from the straps). The strap that you would have to stretch over the two seats lacked a fixing so was not usable either. The bike trailer was properly attached to the bike, but its security was not. We did this ourselves. Left there we had to come back three times. The tires of the bike trailer were very flat, 1 bike his saddle danced along and when we were just about to take the ferry we saw that the bike seat was not properly mounted on the luggage rack at all, really dangerous! These things the firm put right, so we could finally leave. Eventually made a nice and fun bike ride, but On the way I still had problems with a Bike with too flat tires and a bike whose brakes did not work properly. Too bad! So if you rent bikes here, please check everything carefully before you leave! Especially if you have small children with you!
It was a very fun adventure and the girl who attended us in the Rent was very kind giving us the bikes according to our excursion worrying that we were comfortable. It was a highly recommended experience.
Super nice day had in Volendam and surroundings, very nice area to cycle through. After cycling we also took a picture in traditional costume
I recently rented a bike with my boyfriend at Rent & Event and we had a really great experience! We had booked the bikes in advance through the website and they were already ready when we arrived. The staff was super friendly and could tell everything about the area and helped us choose a nice route. We cycled from Volendam to Marken and made a stop at an organic cheese farm (with lots of calves!) and in Monnickendam to have lunch on a super cozy terrace. After this we drove to Marken where we also saw the lighthouse. On the way back we chose the boat. Was a really fantastic route and we greatly enjoyed the beautiful nature, the water and the cozy villages along the way. We will definitely do this more often when we are around!
