If you want something that's not in the city, this is it! It does pick up in the city but you get to ride the ferry across and enjoy a part of the area that most tourists don't get to see. It was a super smooth and calm ride. The e-bikes are easy to ride and the ride is very flat!

Great tour, fun energy and beautiful sites. We saw way more of ‘rural’ Amsterdam than I thought! The tour was well paced, and the electric bikes helped even slightly unfit me keep up.
Our guide had great energy and loved telling us local stories.

The tour was fantastic and well organized. We biked out of the city into the countryside of Amsterdam and experienced a part of the area you won’t see on any of the standard tours.
