Explore Amsterdam like a local on this 2.5-hour City Highlights Bike Tour. This relaxed, small-group ride offers a fun, engaging, and authentic introduction to the city, perfect for first-time visitors or returning travellers who want to dig a little deeper.

The tour starts at Oosterdoksstraat 106, a few minutes’ walk from Centraal Station. After meeting your guide and being fitted with a comfortable Dutch bike, you’ll receive a short safety briefing before heading out into the city. The route is carefully chosen to avoid busy streets and showcase the best of Amsterdam at a comfortable pace.

Cycle through the historic Canal Belt, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and learn how these canals helped shape the city. Discover why the houses lean, what makes the bridges special, and how the city grew during the Dutch Golden Age.

You'll pass the Anne Frank House (exterior) and Westerkerk, cross the famous Skinny Bridge over the Amstel River, and enjoy a peaceful stretch through the city’s most famous green space: Vondelpark.

Your guide will share stories that bring the city to life, covering everything from wartime history and everyday culture to biking etiquette and quirky local traditions. With a small group and regular stops, there’s plenty of time to ask questions, take photos, and enjoy the ride.

The tour ends back at the starting point, giving you a great overview of the city and the confidence to explore more on your own.
