Great way to venture outside of Amsterdam - My wife and I have been in Amsterdam for 5 days, and doing the Cheese, Canals & Windmill Countryside E-Bike Tour has been our favorite thing that we’ve done. It was amazing how quickly you hit the countryside after starting the bike ride. The ride was peaceful, idyllic, and beautiful. The stop at the cheese shop was very entertaining and a welcome place to buy some cheeses. We never would have found the places we visited had we not gone on this tour. Something worth mentioning is that the bike I was on got a flat tire, and then the replacement tube popped too. Sometimes stuff like this happens. But our tour guide Anne was great. Super professional and she did everything possible to get me back to Amsterdam safe. It’s super unlikely to get a double whammy like this on any tour, but it says a lot about the tour operator when they respond so well to unexpected problems. I’d absolutely go on this tour again, and any other offered by the Joy Ride Tours.

Beautiful scenery, good cheese! - We really liked the tour. Unfortunately, it was only available in English. Our guide Simon has tried to speak slowly and understandably. He gave us a lot of information and answered our questions. The scenery was very beautiful. We would do the tour again!

Dutch Gouda - My wife and I really enjoyed the afternoon ride. Gives you a feeling of the daily routine for some locals. Weather was sunny with a bit of a breeze. The E-bikes assist and do there part so no need to strain yourself. Cheese was amazing. Our guide Rinsor shared along the way history and lore. Was a highlight of your trip. Thanks again

Wonderful bike tour through the countryside north of Amsterdam! - We definitely recommend this bike tour. Our guide, Simon, was fantastic and made sure we were all safe & had a great experience. The e-bikes were easy to use and we loved Simon’s experiences and knowledge. We did get caught in a rain shower so be prepared. The rain shower did not ruin this wonderful tour!

Sights and Smells of the Amsterdam Countryside - The Amsterdam countryside is beautiful…green fields, lots of cows, some sheep and goats. We saw one traditional windmill and two current windmills. Our guide, Rissa, was informative at each of our stops, giving us the historical and current stories. She set a good pace and was very aware of our needs. If some of us got behind she stopped the group for all to catch up. The treat of a stroopwaffel was thoughtful. It is a long bike ride but well worth the effort. I would do it again!

Must do! - This was outstanding! The countryside was beautiful and our guide was incredibly knowledgeable- I didn’t expect a historian with his credentials to lead the tour! He gave great info, but also let us really soak up the beauty of the region. The e-bikes were simple to use and made the 4 hours easy. This was a surprising highlight of a 9-day trip to Netherlands/ Switzerland. Highly recommend (14 yo loved it, too!).

Skip this one - Left behind at cheese tasting - did not get to experience, behind smokers on bikes. Electric bike was more of a push bike than electric - after over 3 hours of cycling - only one of four of the power levels was exhausted. Lousy experience
