Looking for the best way to explore Amsterdam with your family? At Mike’s Bike Tours, we believe sightseeing should be safe, exciting, and fun for travellers of all ages, especially when you have little ones or curious teenagers in tow. That is why we created our Private Family Bike Tours, a relaxed and personal way to discover Amsterdam together, adapted to your children’s ages and cycling confidence.
Whether your children are small, in their teens, or somewhere in between, we have a family bike tour that fits. Helmets are included for everyone, we ride calm, low traffic routes, and the pace is always relaxed with plenty of stops along the way.

From the route and pace to the bikes and the guides, every aspect of this private family bike tour is thoughtfully developed with parents and children in mind. Tours are available in English, German, French, Spanish, and Dutch, and you can choose between a city tour, a Waterland countryside ride, the Urban Adventure, visit the windmills of Zaanse Schans, or a fully customised family route.
