What is Lex and the City Tours about?

1st sportive tour: Experience Lex and the City with our enthusiastic local guide

Scoot•A•Round Amsterdam® footbike tour through the centre of Amsterdam. During this footbike tour, we are footbiking along the hotspots of Amsterdam, like the Museumplein, Magere brug, Rembrandtplein and the Dam.

During the tour your group will enjoy loads of surprises. And we will adjust the speed to your wishes. We will have a break on a terrace or in a typical pub.

Your guide will be Wink•A•Round: this means his or her guiding is 'accompanied by a wink': so not too serious and not too long!


Scooting (footbiking) is a sporting activity and you will give your body a good work-out. We offer the possibility for pregnant woman to rent a regular bike instead of a scooter (footbike).

The scooting (footbike) tours will start and finish at Café Hesp (including a terrace!) along the Amstel.
Standard route: Amstel Hotel - Theater Carré - Skinny Bridge - Rembrandt Square - Nieuwmarkt - Red Light District - Dam square - 9 tiny streets (very hip item) - Rijksmuseum - the Jordaan - De Pijp.

It is possible to start and finish at another point in Amsterdam. You can also choose a tailormade theme, e.g. Amsterdam Island Hopping.

Or would do you prefer a Dance & Drink•A•Round: Your tourguide will let you see after the scootingtour de nicest hotspots of Amsterdam.

Would you like to have a picnic with your group in the Vondelpark? We can arrange the picnic for you, during or after the scootingtour. Please contact us for more information and for a price request.









2nd sportive tour: Experience Lex and the City Team Game



Choose for a combination of teamwork, challenge, exploring Amsterdam a different way and dynamic movement! Everyone can participate.
For example: pregnant women can rent a regular bike.






At the Lex and the City Team Game we will split your group into small subgroups. Each group will start from the central starting point; a 110 year' old een pub (with a royal terrace) at the Amstel river. Equipped with the Smartphone you will move yourself by footbike (scooter) from point to point.







During the tour you need to make some small plays and register it, you need to make some pictures in Amsterdam, singing some songs and navigate. And the Smartphone will help you with all these things.After the game there is a grande finale in a 110 years old café, where the performances of the groups will be shown on a laptop.
The winning group will also be announced in the café.




After the Team Game experience you will receive a disc with all the pictures and videoclips the groups have made during their Team Game. Everybody will receive a certificate with his/ her name and the winning place. You can book this adventure starting from 9 persons. The person who books this adventure can play for free. Please visit our office to talk about the things you would like to do. Play with us! This is our third year we are organising this game and with that we are the pioneer of team gaming in Amsterdam.

3rd sportive tour: Experience Lex and the City without a guide.

You can also rent the scooter (footbike). The starting point is at café Hesp, along the Amstel. Our scooters (footbikes) stand in our shelter beside the café. We will lend you a sportive backpack with a first-aid kit, a repairkit for the scooters and a chain to lock the scooters during your brake.








You can rent a GPS with us too. In the GPS touristic waypoints are programmed so you will pass by the most famous hotspots. The GPS will lead your group, with a minimum of 9 persons, simply to the next point. Technical knowledge is not necessary. Our GPS is a useful device to navigate through Amsterdam: you can wear it along your wrest (like a watch). But a GPS is not a 100% replacement of a real guide.

6th sportive tour: Experience Lex and the City Experience & Chat: everyone with a creditcard sized Walkie Talkie!

New in 2007!
Do you know what’s a pity about guided tours? That your Bike-A-Round Amsterdam guide has to stop once in a while to tell you and your group something interesting or fun about the places where you scoot along.
You want to know it right away when you scoot near that cute little shop.







That’s possible now! With your own creditcard sized Walkie Talkie (with head set). Your own Bike-A-round guide tells you while you are scooting what hotspots you run into.

And with the head set that you can attach to your clothes, you can easily chat with your group or the guide. This is maximum fun! (We’ll stop anyway, if it’s not for a photo on the ‘Magere Brug’, it’ll be to stop on a terrace)
