Countryside Bike Tour from Amsterdam: Cheese, Clogs & a Windmill

1.Countryside Bike Tour from Amsterdam: Cheese, Clogs & a Windmill

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,485 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $59Our pick

Cycle Amsterdam out into Waterland for windmills, cheese tasting, and hand-carved clogs, with e-bike or classic bike options.

“It rained pretty heavily the first part of the tour but nonetheless we persevered and eventually the sun came out and life was good. Wonderful trip to see windmills and small towns outside of Amsterdam. I’m glad we did the tour despite the weather that no one obviously can control. The guides made sure we were taken care of and stopped frequently enough to smell the tulips.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 501 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $87

Small-group e-bike ride from Amsterdam by ferry, with windmill and village stops, plus cheese tasting, snacks, and rain gear.

“This was outstanding! The countryside was beautiful and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable- I didn’t expect a historian with his credentials to lead the tour! He gave great info, but also let us really soak up the beauty of the region. The e-bikes were simple to use and made the 4 hours easy. This was a surprising highlight of a 9-day trip to Netherlands/ Switzerland. Highly recommend (14 yo loved it, too!).”

6.Amsterdam Cheese, Windmill & Countryside Bike Tour /E-bike Option

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 223 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $47

Amsterdam cheese and windmill e-bike countryside ride with farm animal visits, Dutch cheese tasting, and an IJ ferry return, about 3 hours.

“It was a very pleasant bike ride through the city and into the countryside for the windmill tour. The only downside is that there’s only one windmill on the tour, but that doesn’t take away from the amazing views elsewhere. The route takes you past the windmill, over two bridges, and into a seaside village. After passing that, you enter farm country (be prepared for the smell because it’ll hit you). The cheese at the farm was delicious! And you’ll get to ride a bike ferry coming back into the city. Overall a great experience if you’re looking for a breath of fresh air and an escape from the city.…”

Ride from Amsterdam Noord into Waterland polder country on Dutch bikes, with an IJ ferry crossing, the Admiral windmill stop, and village breaks.

“Our tour was great and Hugh was a great host! We were shocked we got to see so much on the tour, and although it was a windy day the weather was good. The Dutch countryside was beautiful, the cheese was delicious, and checking out the clog workshop was so fun and entertaining. The only downside is that I wish we moved just a little bit slower to really slow down and enjoy the scenery. This is a quick paced tour that moves fairly fast to be able to take in a lot- when it describes that you should be self sufficient on a bike and active, this is very…”
