Escape the city and ride through the stunning Dutch countryside on a comfortable e-bike. This guided tour takes you from Amsterdam to the historic open-air museum of Zaanse Schans, famous for its windmills, clogs, and cheese. Start near Amsterdam Centraal and take the ferry across the IJ River to Amsterdam Noord. From there, cycle through quiet bike paths and charming neighborhoods toward Zaandam. Along the way, stop for a photo at the quirky Inntel Hotel, designed to look like stacked Dutch houses. Arrive at Zaanse Schans, where you’ll have 1.5 hours to explore at your own pace. Visit traditional windmills (entrance optional), taste Dutch cheese, see how clogs are made, and enjoy the unique atmosphere of this iconic village.
