Windmill and Dutch cheese farm electric bike tour in Amsterdam

+9 photos
On this countryside e-bike tour, cycle past grazing cows, a historic windmill and visit a working cheese farm in Waterland, the green countryside just north of the city. Your guide leads the way on a comfortable e-bike, so you can enjoy the ride without worrying about distance, directions or keeping up.After crossing the IJ, Amsterdam’s canals and traffic fall away. Narrow country roads lead past wide fields, wooden farmhouses and waterways running through land protected by dikes and drainage systems.Ride through Broek in Waterland, Monnickendam and Zuiderwoude, stopping for views and stories of how Dutch communities have lived with water for centuries. See homes built above flood level and a quiet harbour shaped by the former Zuiderzee.At a working Dutch cheese farm, learn how local cheese is made and aged, then taste several varieties, from young and mild to strong, mature cheeses. This is the Netherlands people come hoping to see: green fields, cows by the water, windmills on the horizon, and a table full of cheese at the end of the ride.
