BIKE TOURS AND WALKING TOURS BY TOURIST GUIDE HOLLAND 

Flat country; The Dutch invented biking and walking is often told to me as a a guide. That is why you stay in such good shape is often said after that. It is true that the country is completely flat, which makes biking and walking, hiking as Americans say a true delight. Bikers and pedestrians have according to traffic rules the advantage over cars. Which means in contact with cars, cars have to secure to have done everything to avoid biker's and pedestrians. In court they are guilty until proven otherwise.

You might need the service of an experienced Tour Guide like Jan Vijftigschild to get the most out of your walking and biking adventure. Please contact us at Dit e-mail adres is beschermd door spambots, u heeft Javascript nodig om dit onderdeel te kunnen bekijken or call us at 0031 651 76 55 46. 

Traffic rules; Of course there are certainly specific traffic rules for bikers. Tourists often have the impression that bikers are alowed almost everything which is not the case. Especially for Amsterdam you have to be warned. Amsterdam has very experienced bikers who are always in a hurry and trying to avoid those tourists. Tourist who do not understand anything of Dutch biker's behavior.

Tourists; tourists see it often as child play especially the youngsters among them. They sign a weaver and it is at their own risk then. They mostly did not ride a bike since their childhood. The real problem is that the other road users, read the locals, do not see it that way, which causes a lot of misunderstandings every day. 

Biking tours; We from Tourist Guide Holland offer only biking tours in Amsterdam outside of trafic or on a early Sunday morning. Never in full trafic in the city center with a group on workingdays and even then it is at your own responsibility to attend such a tour. 

Other cities. In a lot of other cities or in the countrysice the traffic is not as dense as in Amsterdam and biking can be very simply organized. Bikes can be rented almost everywhere and to experience the real Dutch life one should use a bike in stead of a car.

You need the experience of a guide like Jan Vijftigschild to tell you where biking can be safely done and were it cannot. Please contact us by mail Dit e-mail adres is beschermd door spambots, u heeft Javascript nodig om dit onderdeel te kunnen bekijken or call 0031 6 51 76 55 46 

Walking tours

Walking tours can be done almost everywhere. In combination with sight seeing by bus or car, walking is introduced as an other way of transportation. Even public transportation like trams or trains can be used to go from town to country side. The public transportation to most cities is excellent in the Netherlands and easily to be used with cards which cover the whole country. We Dutch bike, walk and hike a lot because parking of a car costs a fortune.

Tourists from the states have to be aware of cobbelstone pavement almost everywhere in the old cities. So good walking shoes in which you can bend your feet easily is what you need.
