This Amsterdam Noord bike tour would suit those who want to see the city from a completely different perspective: modern, innovative, creative, and a bit anarchic; those who like the idea of combining it with a bike ride and feel like a real Amsterdamer.
There are no humpbacked bridges, 17th-century houses, Red Light District, or canals here. Instead, there is something else that makes the city vibrant and full of ideas and does not allow it to plunge into a steady measured life. Every square meter is packed with fantastic innovations and art clusters, environmental projects, and social initiatives. The caring attitude of the Dutch people towards their centuries-old traditions is surprisingly combined with an irrepressible passion for new technologies and art. Most of these unique places hide from bypassers in abandoned shipyards or former industrial areas. Amsterdam Noord is a real hidden gem only for those who know about it. And therefore even more cherished by the locals.
This bike tour of a completely different Amsterdam might become one of the most unforgettable adventures of your trip to the Netherlands. Shall we do it?

It's advisable to decide on tours you would like to take as early as possible, ideally to book them right after buying your airplane tickets. That way we will make sure we have a guide for you and our meeting will definitely take place :) If you make a last-minute decision to take a tour, do not hesitate to contact us either. We will do our best to arrange a guide for you to show you the country.
We will definitely agree on it well in advance! Then, two days before the tour date, a reminding email with the name and the phone number of your guide, the exact location of the meeting point and its photo will be sent to you. Please do not miss this letter. Thanks! :)
Sure. We love to plan individual programs more than anything else. In addition to our existing tours, a boat or a yacht trip could be included; a hot air balloon flight, designer shops and art gallery tours, various workshops, tastings, university tours, castle visiting and much, much more. In addition, we adore arranging multi-day bicycle trip programs around the country. Arranging an individual program is a paid service. Let us know your personal wishes and we will do our best to make it happen!
Perhaps, you still have some questions. This is what we get asked about most of the time.
