On this group bike tour, your guests will experience Amsterdam beyond the usual highlights. Led by a local guide, the tour focuses on lesser-visited areas that reveal the city’s creative, industrial, and alternative character.
You will explore hidden neighbourhoods, striking street art, and architectural contrasts that blend historic structures with modern design. This tour offers an insight into Amsterdam’s thriving alternative art scene and everyday biking culture, all at a relaxed and accessible pace.
During the ride, the group will cycle along picturesque canals, cross several bridges, and encounter colourful street art along the way. The route passes through former industrial zones and active ship docks, uncovering parts of the city that many visitors never see.
A ferry crossing brings you to Amsterdam North, an up-and-coming area known for its creative energy and wide open spaces. Here, you will explore the NDSM district, where old cranes and industrial buildings form the backdrop for large-scale murals and graffiti art.
Guests will also have the opportunity to create their own piece of graffiti, adding a hands-on element to the experience.
