How it works
Amsterbike has been organizing school trips in Amsterdam for over 15 years. We help schools, universities, exchange programmes, and student groups explore the city safely by bike, on foot, or with a flexible group rental. Choose a guided bike tour, walking tour, rental package, or a custom route built around your theme. For example, if your students love art, we can plan an NDSM bike tour; if they study history, why not take a WWII walking tour?
With our own fleet of bikes and e-bikes, experienced local guides, and flexible planning options, we make it easy for your group to discover Amsterdam together.

Bike Rental and Delivery
Bike rental is a practical option for school groups that want to explore Amsterdam independently. Students can experience the city in the same way locals do, while the freedom of cycling keeps the day flexible.
Bikes can be rented for one or more days and picked up from our location at Piet Heinkade 25, near Amsterdam Central Station. Each rental includes useful essentials such as locks, a phone holder, and a map. For larger groups or tighter schedules, you may also request that your bikes be delivered directly to your accommodation here.
Bike tours
A guided bike tour is one of the best ways for students to see more of Amsterdam in less time. The group can explore the city’s history, architecture, canals, neighborhoods, and local cycling culture in an active and memorable way.
Our guided bike tours are suitable for school trips, university groups, exchange students, and international education programmes. Routes and explanations can be adapted to the group’s age, interests, and available time, making the tour both practical and engaging. We use our own fleet of regular bikes and e-bikes, which allows us to tailor the outing to your group, route, and timing. Browse our private experiences below for inspiration, then customize your tour to match your group’s interests.
Walking tours
For sgroups that prefer a slower pace, a walking tour is a strong alternative. It gives students time to look closely at the city, ask questions, and move through Amsterdam in a relaxed and accessible way.
Walking tours work especially well for educational trips, mixed-age groups, or programmes where cycling is not the best fit (for accessibility reasons, for example). They can also be combined with bike rental, a guided bike tour, or another activity later in the day.
Boat tours
Amsterdam also deserves to be seen from the water. A boat tour adds a different atmosphere to your company outing and offers a more relaxed way to enjoy the city together.
A canal cruise works well as a standalone activity, but also as part of a broader programme. For example, you can combine an active bike tour during the day with a boat tour in the afternoon or evening. This creates a varied outing with a good balance between activity and relaxation. Boats can be open or closed depending on request.
