- This tour is eligible for adults and teens who can ride adult-size e-bikes.
The tour starts at Yellow Bike, close to Amsterdam Central station. We take a ferry and cycle out of the city. Cycle past the unique Chalk Mill in North Amsterdam, via natural reserve ‘t Twiske to the unique Zaanse Schans village in the Netherlands.

At the Zaanse Schans, we'll stop for one hour to visit the windmills, have something to eat and drink, and visit the clog maker and cheese farm. We return via a shorter route, along an architectural prime piece and the statue of the Kissing Couple. Be prepared for a beautiful half-day trip.

The Zaanse Schans offers a glimpse into the main heyday of the Zaan region before the Industrial Revolution. The original aim of the construction of the Zaanse Schans was to preserve the traditional timber construction of the Zaan region, which is reflected in the beautiful historic village. The presence of the mills along the banks of the Zaan provides an iconic image of old Holland as it once was.
