More info
Cargo Bike or tandem? We take care of the bicycle for you, we have bicycles for every size. We can also get tandems or a cargo bike if you want to join in with your whole family.
Where are we are going? The Experience will start at Mike's Bikes close to Central Station, where you will pick up your bike. Then we set out to explore the history, art and culture of Amsterdam in classic Dutch fashion: by bike. We will see old canal houses and modern architecture, will go over a lot of bridges (maybe also a typical Dutch draw bridge) and wander through old neighbourhoods with hidden art and nice places to hang out.
We can also go to some former shipyards from the 17th and 19th centuries. Another option is to take the ferry to see lost cranes and industrial buildings at NDSM. This area is also famous for its amazing street art and graffiti.
We are happy to see you and your family at our Private Amsterdam Bike Tour!
