Cycling in Holland; just do it! (with Mike’s Bike Tours😃) - A must do when visiting the Netherlands. Mike’s Bike Tours is well organized and they have a professional approach to their customers and their tours; helpful, entertaining, safe and a very knowledgeable guide who made just enough stops to explain what we saw along the way. Coz this “Zaanse Schans” tour is all about the history of Holland; windmills, watermanagement, cheese, clogs, dikes and locks. Also, there’s a ferry trip included, crossing the famous Y-waters where you have a beautiful view of the skyline of the city. Guide Ashton took good care of our safety and wellbeing; we made some stops where there’s time for a (hot) drink, tasting cheese and actually visiting a windmill from the inside. Although it’s a 40 km ride, the E-Bikes made it effortlessly and comfortable (helmets and raincoats included) So definitely recommended and my next visit to Amsterdam will include one of their other tours for sure!

What an amazing day! - I had a great experience! It was a perfect combination of urban and rural features. Indeed, a lot of windmills. I have to say that De Zaanse Schans was impressive with its beauty! And we saw even two more windmills in the countryside on our ride back:)). Our guide Ashton was very cheerful, polite and full of stories that he shared with us to give our experience a bed of history and interesting facts. Thank you Mikes Bike and Ashton! Two enthousiast thumbs up 😁👍👍

Not to miss if you want to see more than Amsterdam - A cold and little bit foggy day for a bike ride but what an amazing tour! History, countryside, cultural heritage, modern architecture and all of this with a well informed and funny guide.

Sooooo many windmills! - I had an amazing time on the Zaanse Schans E-Bike Tour with Mike’s Tours Amsterdam our guide Anne was amazing! The entire experience was so well-organized, from the moment we met our guide to the last scenic stop. The route was beautifully planned, taking us through picturesque Dutch countryside, charming villages, and of course, the iconic windmills of Zaanse Schans. What stood out the most was the guide’s knowledge and passion—they shared fascinating stories and history that brought the region to life. We had plenty of time to explore the windmills, try some local cheese, and even watch a clog-making demonstration! The e-bikes were comfortable and made the ride easy, even for someone who isn’t a regular cyclist. I loved how the tour balanced activity and relaxation, with stops to take in the views, snap photos, and soak up the atmosphere. If you’re looking for an unforgettable way to explore the Dutch countryside, I can’t recommend this tour enough. It’s perfect for anyone who loves a mix of history, culture, and stunning landscapes. A big thank you to Mike’s Tours for such a fantastic day out!

A Magical E-Bike Tour to Zaanse Schans - This was an unforgettable experience! The tour took us on high-end E-bikes, making the ride effortless and enjoyable. Our guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the area north of Amsterdam. As we biked through the peaceful countryside, the sight of the iconic windmills from a distance, especially as we crossed the bridge, was absolutely breathtaking. This tour perfectly combined stunning scenery, fascinating stories, and the joy of exploring on two wheels. Highly recommended! Thanks Mike's Bike!
