4 Countryside Cycling Tours in the Netherlands Worth Flying For

1.Windmill, Cheese, and Countryside E-Bike Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,308 reviews · 4 hours - 1 day · from $55Our pick

Ride an e-bike from Amsterdam through Waterland villages, visit a windmill, and taste Dutch cheese at a working farm.

“This was an excellent activity! I’d consider it a “must see” for Amsterdam! Getting out of the city to see the country side was wonderful. It is mostly biking and following the guide (about 26 miles total biked) but it’s manageable on the e-bike. We stopped to see cows along the trail, at a little town square, a windmill and at the cheese farm. It was a good pace and tour length. The cheese farm was wonderful and delicious! You get lots of time to sample and shop if you’d like. Our guide was very friendly and courteous. The last hour straight was biking back to the city. The rest…”

2.Cheese, Canals & Windmill Countryside E-Bike Tour Amsterdam

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 501 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $87Top rated

Ride from Amsterdam to windmills, villages, canals, cheese, and clogs on a four-hour small-group e-bike tour.

“My husband and I had a wonderful time on this tour! The forecast was sunny with a high of 60, I had layers on but no hat or gloves and regretted it within the first five minutes. Dress warmer than you think necessary, it’s windy. . Christian was a great guide, gave us detailed instructions on the route we were taking and warnings about riding etiquette. We had a wonderful day away from the city among the canals and livestock with their young. The e-bikes made the mileage easy. I would hesitate to bring a child younger than 12 if they are not used to city/road riding. A great experience!”
