A PRIVATE BIKE TOUR

(for a larger group €53 per each additional participant)

Bicycle rental (€15 per person), food and drinks are payable separately.

This bike tour is about nineteenth-century Amsterdam. It was a tremendously vibrant time when, after a long period of stagnation and a century of hibernation, the country suddenly awakened and surged forward with full force - out of slums, impoverished villages, remarkably outdated technology, and, by Dutch standards, a monstrous level of stratification. This surge was so intense that the country once again became one of the most advanced economies in the world. And in such tumultuous times, not only did brilliant discoveries, extraordinary accomplishments, and noble deeds take place, but also considerably less admirable events. So we'll also talk about how architects, politicians, artists, activists, writers, and kings collaborated to achieve many amazing things for the country and even the world. We'll also explore the attempted suppression of the Belgian revolution by the Netherlands and the country's colonial policies. Most importantly, we will see how interconnected the various fields of human activity were. And how out of all this, in a very logical manner, a new world was born - the world we live in now.

On this bike tour of Amsterdam, you will see almost the whole city center and a myriad of exciting places that cannot be covered on a walking tour. That is why we also highly recommend it as a sightseeing tour, after which you can easily navigate through Amsterdam's intricate streets, canals, and sights.
