Amsterdam’s Urban Side, Beyond the City Centre

This private bike tour offers an in-depth look at Amsterdam’s lesser-visited districts, focusing on the city’s creative, industrial, and alternative character. With a private local guide, the route and pace are tailored to your interests, allowing for a more personal and flexible experience.
You will explore areas where historic canals, former docklands, and contemporary architecture come together, revealing a side of Amsterdam rarely seen by visitors.

Street Art, Industrial Areas, and Magnet Fishing

Cycling through quiet canals, bridges, and old industrial zones, you will encounter striking street art and unexpected architectural contrasts. A highlight of this tour is the opportunity to take part in magnet fishing, a unique and hands-on way to explore Amsterdam’s waterways.
Using powerful magnets, you will search the canals for hidden metal objects, uncovering pieces of the city’s past beneath the surface. This activity offers a playful and memorable insight into Amsterdam’s history and daily life and is not offered by other bike tour operators.

Amsterdam North and Creative Districts

A ferry crossing takes you to Amsterdam North, a rapidly changing district known for its creative energy. In the NDSM area, cranes, vast warehouses, and large-scale murals create a unique urban landscape that reflects the city’s alternative spirit.
As part of the experience, you will have the opportunity to create your own piece of graffiti, adding a hands-on and creative element to the tour.
