Enjoyed a fabulous tour today with our guide Sebastian. Highly informative, safe and enjoyable tour out of Amsterdam and into the countryside. Included a very entertaining stop at a cheese and clog farm and lots of stops along the way for photos. Sebastian was very knowledgeable and personable. Highly recommend!
Exquisite tour of north Amsterdam. Very well organised company with lovely staff, especially our tour guide (and professional photographer), Gus. Gus was wonderful and set time aside to answer all our questions as well as give us a stroopwafel for our cold endeavours. Really enjoy all the views and the photo opportunities. The stop and the cheese and clog farm was very fun and you are encouraged to eat as much as you can, if the peacocks don’t get there first. Great tour for seeing wildlife such as herons, chickens, goats, donkeys, horses, Shetland ponies, swans and cheese (the farm cat). Couldn’t recommend it enough. If you enjoy the outdoors and want a break from the hustling city, then this will be the highlight of your trip. Thank again Gus!

Hi Sian,
Thank you so much for this wonderful review. It genuinely means a lot.
I am really glad to hear that our North Amsterdam Countryside Bike Tour was such a highlight of your trip. Showing guests a quieter, greener side of Amsterdam, just minutes from the city center, is exactly what this tour is all about. The combination of open landscapes, wildlife, traditional villages and relaxed cycling routes is what makes this countryside bike tour such a favourite for visitors looking to escape the busy streets of central Amsterdam.
It is great to hear that Gus made the experience special for you. He is an excellent guide and has a real eye for photography, which makes those scenic stops along the water, farms and villages even more memorable. The cheese and clog farm stop, stroopwafel break and unexpected encounters with peacocks, ponies, herons and even the farm cat are all part of what makes this e-bike countryside tour such a fun and authentic Dutch experience.
Thank you for recommending Mike’s Bike Tours Amsterdam. If anyone is looking for a relaxed bike tour near Amsterdam, with nature, wildlife, local farms and beautiful photo opportunities, this North Countryside Bike Tour is a perfect choice.

Great way to see Amsterdam and windmills!
Had a fantastic e bike tour to the windmills. It was cold but we were prepared. Our guide, Huw was wonderful! Gave us a lot of interesting facts and was super helpful. This is a great way to see Amsterdam and the surrounding areas in a different way. We highly recommend doing a bike tour with Mike’s Bike Tour.
This tour was awesome! With David B as our guide, we had a great time touring around Noord. It was a great length, and accessible even for people who aren’t regular cyclists. The countryside was absolutely beautiful, and a fun reprieve from the city. David B was also super kind in adding on a cafe stop midway through because we were super chilly! Definitely recommend!
David B is the best!! The highlight to our Amsterdam trip. This tour will be fun regardless, but you will crosss every finger and every toe hoping David B leads your tour. David B is great! Full of good history facts and fun. It was so cold David stopped halfway at a country pub for hot chocolate and coffees! Highly recommend!
My partner and I made a last-minute decision to book a bike tour the night before with Mike’s Bike Tours, and from start to finish it was absolutely amazing. The tour was memorable, informative, and the perfect way to explore the peaceful countryside outside the hustle and bustle of central Amsterdam. I can’t recommend them enough! Thank you and we can’t wait to come back for another tour!
