Bike tours · FOOD & MARKET BIKE TOURS
Riding between the stops is the point: you arrive hungry at each one. These 15 say how many tastings are built in, how far you actually pedal and whether the route is worth doing before or after breakfast.
Ride from central Amsterdam into Waterland on a comfortable 3-speed bike, stopping at De Gooyer windmill, Durgerdam, Ransdorp, and a working farm. Meet cows and lambs, taste Dutch sheep and cow cheese, and return by ferry. Guides such as Skip, Thijs, Kim, and Vic lead the English tour.

Ride a cruiser bike between three Niagara-on-the-Lake wineries with a local guide such as Dave, Lynn, Susan, or Diane. Taste Ontario wines, including ice wine, and choose a small cheese plate or two-course lunch. Regular bikes are included, with e-bikes available for an added fee.
“We had a great time. Lynn was very attentive and shared a lot of interesting information about the region and wine making. The choice of wineries we visited was great - small family owned where we tasted wines you can’t find anywhere else. We were expected and welcomed warmly at each. The tour of the Jackson Triggs facilities was also great, as was the opportunity to bike on small country roads, right in the middle of the wineries.”
Ride through Osaka with an English-speaking guide such as Erik, Mako, Peter, or Matt, stopping for oden, tofu, wagyu, market snacks, sushi, and kushikatsu. You’ll see Shitennoji and Tsuruhashi, test Osaka-made knives, and cover more ground than you could on foot.

The wineries were delightful, with picturesque views and many great wines served by friendly hosts.”

“Since holidaying in Vietnam as a family of five (with three teenagers), we’ve done quite a few tours and this tour to an organic farm was easily the best. Our guide, Trang, was exceptional - fantastic English, incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely engaging. The tour was very hands-on, from visiting the farm and local market to learning, tasting and cooking the most delicious meal together. We had a few different dietary requirements, all of which were catered for perfectly. The banana boat ride was a bonus and so much fun. Without a doubt, our favourite tour of the trip. Would highly recommend.”

“We had a bike tour for 4 people- had the unique experience of going into the home of a local resident and tasting some local dishes. We went on to bike to some great spots- hear a bit of history, enjoy the scenery, and also go to a small beach which was a great place to swim. Our guide Mira was wonderful and we all enjoyed the day!”
