Private bike guide Amsterdam: for groups and individuals (and VIP’s) looking for the unknown.
The customers of private cycle tour guide Lex are interested in local culture. Meaning diving into the unknown part of the city.
They do like to be organised and want to see as much as possible in their short amount of time.
Active people longing for hidden gems to check, and enthusiastic eaters at the same time.
Generally, quite low maintenance as a group.
Anything that’s not on hop on/off tours they are interested in too – so off the beaten track cycle Amsterdam experiences, want to soak up the culture of a place and if there are any must do’s.

Biking privately with your group (or with you) in Amsterdam: what Lex and the City is about.
The Lex and the City private guided bike-tours Amsterdam combine the discovery of hip & emerging parts of Amsterdam (the hidden gems) with getting to know even better the people around you.
In 4 languages: French, English, German or mother tongue Dutch.
The private guided tour can be either private or work related.
It can be in town or around town; in the countryside above Amsterdam. Think about biking to Zaanse Schans from AMS or take the bike in the train for a day trip to the flowers and bulb fields above Alkmaar and then go to Texel island by train. (Bike inside obviously, or renting a bike locally.)
Every Amsterdam bike tour has its own theme.
Sometimes we add an item to the tour, like a restaurant or picknick, a language exchange, a tasting or dancing afterwards.
In order to ride our bikes comfortable and safe, the maximum number of participants is 12 people in town and 15 in the countryside.
The pace is relaxed. (relexed?)

For the hidden gems.
For bulb fields above Alkmaar instead of the ones on the Keukenhof.
For discovering Amsterdam East on your bike instead of queuing in front of the Anne Frank House.

Lex has showed Amsterdam (and Paris) on wheels to thousands of people.
People from all over the globe.
Not just by bike, but on inline skates and by scooter (footbike) as well.
He has done so in French, German, English and in Dutch.
He is always aiming at Lexceeding Lexceptations ;) by showing hidden gems and great tracks to bike.
Lex and the City and Skate-A-Round have created free publicity in media like The Washington Post and The Sunday Times.
Now we show you an example of a hidden gems private bike tour in East Amsterdam:
Private guided bike tour Amsterdam Docklands & IJburg | Checking out hidden gems
Discover what might be the hippest part of Amsterdam; the Eastern part, on a bike.
And socialize afterwards on the terrace, in a café or maybe even on the boulevard.
This hidden gem tour will take place in the eastern part of the city, on the so-called Amsterdam’ Docklands: the ancient harbor which has been transformed into a great place to live and be.
And partly it will happen on IJburg; place of modern architecture, loads of air & space and even Amsterdam beach 2.0.
Your private local Amsterdam tour guide will tell you about the quick development of the Amsterdam Eastern Docklands. And about modern architecture of IJburg.
This bike-tour is about socializing, relaxed pace, hidden gem city items, the beach, one Dutch Downhill and fresh air. ;)
Sightseeing bike tour of 1 hour, starting from Vondelpark
Vondelpark with statue Vondel and Blauwe Theehuis * PC Hooftstraat (Celebs’ shopping street) * Museumdistrict * Under Rijksmuseum with the bike * Spiegelgracht (Jewelry, galeries and antique) * the 3 canals * the 9 tiny streets district * Jordaan quarter * Paradiso.
Sightseeing bike tour of 2 hours with guide, starting from Vondelpark
Private guided countryside bike day trips above Amsterdam (North Holland)
Lex is not just a local tour guide. He also loves creating, rehearsing and doing bike-tracks outside of Amsterdam. Privately as well.
He also records the bike tracks. Including pictures; he always makes pictures, everywhere he goes.
And is even rewarded by an American GPS website for the so-called GEO-tracking. (tracks + pictures.)
Because of his history as an international inline skate guide, he has an extensive knowledge of tracks in the Countryside, mostly above Amsterdam.
Think about:
- Waterland-Oost: from the Vondelpark via Amsterdam East to Durgerdam and than to Marken and Broek in Waterland;
- Biking to Zaanse Schans with your private local bike guide. (Great area! So not just the Zaanse Schans itself.)
- By the train to Alkmaar, visiting town by bike and than heading for the bulb fields with flowers (tulips) – by bike of course;
- Texel island by bike is probably one one of the best Lexperiences you can have. (Since 2001)
(And two private guided bike tours in the countryside, however not above Amsterdam)
- Zandvoort bike & skate track for groups: great route starting from Amsterdam over Spaarnwoude, Haarlem, the dunes, Bloemendaal to Zandvoort beach.
- Ouderkerk: along river Amstel checking out the houses (and castles) of the rich & famous in the Golden age and now.
