Amsterdam countryside - This was the best tour we’ve had! It was a beautiful ride through the countryside, seeing the windmills and learning about them. Kevin was an excellent guide which made the experience even better. We were age 24- 84 and everyone had the best time.

Exploring the Dutch Countryside by Bike with the Best Guide - We had an unforgettable biking tour through Amsterdam, the countryside, Zaanse Schans, and Zaandam. Gabriel was an incredible guide—his passion, energy, and deep knowledge of the Netherlands made the experience so engaging. He shared fascinating history and fun facts along the way, from the landscapes we rode through to the stories behind the country’s iconic windmills. One of the highlights of the day was stopping at a working windmill and meeting Marcel and his wife, who live and work there. It was amazing to learn firsthand about the history and importance of windmills in Dutch life. We also enjoyed our stop in Zaanse Schans for lunch and a visit to the outdoor museum, where we explored clogs, cheese-making, and even more windmill history. On our return, we biked through Zaandam and made a stop at the NDSM area to take in the incredible graffiti art and murals before heading back into Amsterdam’s city center. It was the perfect mix of biking through beautiful countryside, cultural stops, and learning about Dutch history. Thank you, Gabriel, for making this such a memorable and enjoyable day!

Interesting, Nervy to Start, and Phoebe Makes the Day - The location was not well marked when we arrived as they appeared to be moving into a new location. The staff was quick to locate and seek us out for a timely departure on our adventure. We were fitted for our bikes and helmets, and given a safety overview. The ride out of town was a bit scary with all the morning commuters biking on the ride way in Amsterdam. A positive was they keep the groups small (ours was 6) for the tour. Phoebe was our guide and did a great job navigating us through the city and into the countryside. Once out of the city, the ride and scenery were amazing. Phoebe had a great handle of the area, and showed us amazing sights to include working windmills. Phoebe did an amazing job navigating us through heavier bike and vehicle traffic, smoothly and safely. Riding in the city of Amsterdam can be nervy and crazy with all the bikes on the ride way. As with most tour experiences, the guide can be the make or break. Phoebe was definitely the make! The ride was amazing, outside the city was beautiful, and after the tour you can make the claim you biked the city of Amsterdam ✅✅. If you are comfortable on a bike, this tour is amazing and worth the adventure. It was a fun and amazing experience, allowing us to see areas of Amsterdam we otherwise may not have seen. I would rate our experience a 4.5/ 5, and rate Phoebe 10/ 5.

Got to bike through the countryside/nature preserve AND the suburbs/outskirts - so very encompassing bike tour - stop at Zaanse Schans also felt quintessentially Dutch - our tour guide Phoebe was incredible: kind, knowledgeable, funny and engaging - introduced us to a family that currently runs a mill! Great energy with a small group

Best E-Bike Tour in Amsterdam....Those Amsterdams - Recently in Amsterdam and did 2 e-bike tours within a week with Those Amsterdames tours and I can not recommend enough to anyone visiting Amsterdam to take a tour with Kendra and her team. They are seriously the BEST! Super knowledgeable about the area and history. Kevin was our other guide and he was fantastic! Go take tour with them, it will be a highlight of your trip!
