What can you expect from the Bike Tour Noord?

Discover the hip and creative side of Amsterdam in the northern parts of the city (Amsterdam Noord) with an experienced English-speaking guide during a 2,5-hour long bike tour in English in a small group.

Amsterdam Noord has grown from being a remote part of town to being the absolute magnet for creative folk, young families and residents from all over the world. In between the trending neighborhood Noord and downtown Amsterdam, you’ll find the river “IJ”. The northern part of Amsterdam is a unique blend of country-style paradise and the impressive remainders of the industrial port. The former NDSM wharf has drawn in numerous artists, modern bars and hip start-ups, who settled down in this part of town.

Read more about the Bike Tour Noord

During your bike tour, you’ll get to experience the true local biking lifestyle. You’ll ride by the old industrial port and enjoy the incredibly idyllic parts around Nieuwendammerdijk, where you will find cute, old fisherman’s houses resting quaintly side by side.

In Amsterdam Noord, you’ll have the chance to find an exceptionally high number of hidden gems. Small, romantic coffee shops, enchanting garden villages, inviting you to relax and breathe, magnificent parks, neat bridges with old locks – you’ll be tempted to forget all about the hustle and bustle of downtown Amsterdam, bustling magnificently behind the IJ. Amsterdam Noord is the only part of town that is separated by the main river and therefore remains a unique and hidden gem.

The history of Amsterdam Noord dates back to the 14th century

The quarter’s history is colorful and rich: in the past, the territory was marked by peat extractions, functioned as a location for the gallows, and harbored customs stations for the shipping industry. From the 19th century on, the heavy and petrochemical industries grew more and more important in the North. Over time, Amsterdam Noord grew to be the most important industrial area of the entire city.

Insider tip Noord

Even today, Amsterdam Noord is still an absolute insider tip for tourists coming to Amsterdam. You’ll be biking through the streets and alleys in peace and quiet on your bike trip and listen to your passionate English-speaking guides and their informative and fun stories.

Nature and city – all in one

Amsterdam Noord is worth a visit for anyone who wants to experience nature and city life in one perfectly aligned balance. A bike tour on the countryside of Amsterdam is truly a unique experience. The newly built metro line, connecting downtown Amsterdam with Amsterdam Noord, is making the neighborhood more popular by the minute.

Do it like the locals do it: find tranquility and peace away from the city and enjoy your trip on the bike. The every-day crossing of the IJ with the ferry is a special and relaxing event for the locals as well.

Individual exploration with Incredible Amsterdam We booked an individual tour, 3 hours city centre and AMS North by bike. We are absolutely thrilled, because from the beginning of the booking & consultation to the tour itself and the tour guide we felt comfortable and our wishes have always been fulfilled. The staff are all very nice, always helpful and very experienced. I would book this tour operator again and again and can highly recommend it. The tours are authentic, informative, the guides are experienced and very friendly. Thank you Amsterdamliebe!

Great support and planning We stayed as a practice team (13 people ) 3 nights in Amsterdam. We were actively and professionally looked after by the team of "Amsterdamliebe". The previous email contact was always fast and friendly. In Amsterdam we had direct contact via WhatsApp :-) In the suburb we had done a private canal tour (with Josch) as well as an Anne Frank tour (with Nina) and a bike tour in the north of Amsterdam (with Leonie). All three were young and had carried out their tours with love. Also the food was booked for us by Amsterdamliebe, everything was excellent ! We had a tight program :-) but everything went like clockwork. Amsterdamlove was always at our side with advice and deed ! Thank you very much for this dear team from Amsterdamliebe......you can see how the young team loves their city ;-) There should be something like this in every big city!

Very nice, informative guided tours through Amsterdam In total we had booked 4 tours with Incredible Amsterdam. We particularly enjoyed the bike and food tour with Nina, but the red light tour, the Jordaan tour and the canal tour were also very nice. All the guides are very knowledgeable and tell you a lot about life in Amsterdam. We really enjoyed our time with Incredible Amsterdam.

Amazing Tour We had such a lovely weekend with my girls for our yearly trip! Everything went super smoothly and the many questions we had previous to the trip, were answered with a lot of patience by the team. Much recommended! We especially loved the northern, less touristic, part of Amsterdam! Thank you team
