ABOUT THE Windmills, Villages & Waterland: Amsterdam Countryside Electric Bike Tour
This tour is operated by our partner Those Amsterdames.
Need a break from the buzz of Amsterdam but don’t have an entire day to spare? This tour is the ideal countryside escape: short, easy, and unforgettable. In just 2.5 hours, you’ll trade traffic and trams for cows, canals, and charming Dutch villages.
Starting with a short ferry ride behind Centraal Station, once you have secured your bike with our partner, you’ll quickly find yourself pedaling through the wide-open landscapes of the Waterland region. Think green fields, grazing sheep, and narrow dikes that wind past centuries-old farmhouses and waterways. On your smooth electric bike, you’ll cruise effortlessly between postcard-perfect villages like Zunderdorp, Ransdorp, and Durgerdam, where you can soak up harbor views and church spires without breaking a sweat.
Along the way, you’ll visit a traditional Dutch windmill, see where locals once bartered and biked their way through World War II, and learn how the Netherlands has literally shaped its land from water. This tour is packed with scenic moments and surprising stories, all delivered in a relaxed small-group setting with no more than 10 travelers.
Designed with time-conscious adventurers in mind, this ride brings together nature, history, and everyday Dutch life in one fun, compact experience. No stress, no rush: just a short and scenic journey through the rural soul of Amsterdam, beginning and ending in the same convenient spot.
