Amazing Countryside Bike Tour with Tori!
560sherylc, October 2026
We had such a wonderful experience on our e-bike tour through the Dutch countryside with Those Amsterdames! The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and our guide, Tori, made the entire experience even more special. She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and so easy to talk to. We really enjoyed spending the day with her! The highlight for me was visiting a 500-year-old windmill. Tori knew the operator personally, and thanks to that connection, we were invited onto the property for a special look around. He took the time to show us how the windmill worked and explain its history. It was such a unique and memorable experience that we never would have had on our own! We also loved stopping at the street graffiti museum on our way back, which was such a fun and unexpected addition to the tour. The e-bikes were easy to operate, helmets were optional, and the entire ride was relaxed and enjoyable. It was the perfect way to get outside the city and experience the beautiful Dutch countryside. I can’t recommend this tour enough, and if you have the opportunity to request Tori as your guide, absolutely do it! She was fantastic and made this one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam!
Response from the operator · ThoseAmsterdames
Thank you very much for your glowing review of our Countryside E-Bike Tour! It sounds like it was the perfect blend of history and beautiful scenery, and we're glad the bikes helped make it a smooth experience. We'll make sure to pass on your kind words to our wonderful guide, Tori. Please feel welcome back anytime for another adventure with Those Amsterdames!

So much fun and so much to see! Tori was a great guide, full of information and knowledgeable! A great way to get out of the city and enjoy the countryside.
Response from the operator · ThoseAmsterdames
Thanks Susan, we're so glad our countryside e-bike tour hit the mark for you! Thank you for choosing to trade the busy city streets for countryside paths with us and do drop by again soon!

Biking at its best
Elizabeth_P, October 2026
This was a great way to see the countryside as well as Zaandam and Zaanse Schans. Our guide Corbin was fantastic and would recommend to anyone
Response from the operator · ThoseAmsterdames
Thank you for the lovely review! Corbin will be delighted to hear he helped make the day special; he puts so much heart into every tour. And "would recommend to anyone" is truly the nicest thing we could hear. Thanks for riding with us, and we hope to see you again someday!
★★★★★Viator review
Great Bike Tour!
Raina_K, September 2026
Gabe was a really good tour guide. His enthusiasm, depth of knowledge and sense of humor created a perfect combination for a fun day of biking and learning about Amsterdam in general and specifically the windmills. Although it can be a little tricky to bike in and around Amsterdam, Gabe took us on a route that, for the most part, was free from large groups of people and the large number of bikes you see in the city. The countryside was beautiful and we also enjoyed seeing so many different neighborhoods in Amsterdam-Noord. Gabe’s passion for Amsterdam served to truly enhance the experience.
Response from the operator · ThoseAmsterdames
It's lovely to hear that you had a great time with Gabe on our Countryside E-Bike tour! It sounds like it was the perfect balance of history and scenery throughout the experience. It was our pleasure to host you. Please feel welcome back anytime for another adventure with Those Amsterdames!
