Since 1998 our brand promise is an uncommon city Lexperience.

We have created an active tour in Amsterdam with the theme sustainability.  Moreover: Lex and the City has been integrating that hot (and necessary) topic more and more into the (“L”) existing, current private tours in the unusual Amsterdam.
And beneath our 1st track and green development bike tour, you will find our 28 durable topics in the whole of Amsterdam on this page.

The themed durable tour on wheels takes places in 2 cool Amsterdam districts Lex and the City is specializing in: the Eastern Islands & the Eastern Docklands. We offer a tailored approach if this is in your interest. It is also a compact tour, because of the short “durable visits”.

For us the areas in the capital to 1st check for attractive, appealing sustainable hidden gems, are the East and the North of Amsterdam. That process starts with customers asking us for tailor-made eco tours.
Amsterdam is considered as an eco-friendly town with a leading role internationally. And sustainability is embedded within us.

Footbiking is a sustainable activity in Amsterdam for groups who are aware.- In front of Amstel Hotel - Lex and the City private group experiences
Corporate sustainable and active experience in Amsterdam: footbiking. Here the Lex and the City group in front of the famous Amstel Hotel. Press for this green, conscious, activity. (This location is not part of the durable tour on this page. It was to pinpoint footbiking as being durable.)

First bike track and eco-highlights for a 2,5 hour Lex and the City sustainable development group-tour of 10K

The eco-bike tour includes 3 short indoor visits (15 minutes max.) to movers and shakers in the field of sustainability. It is a green development rolling tour of 2,5 to max. 3 hours, built around the eco-highlights of Marineterrein, and including parts of the Eastern Docklands, Eastern Islands and trendy Czaar Peter Quarter. Visiting eco-friendly organizations in those areas. And not all elements marked beneath the picture with the biking ladies, will be visible probably during one tour. As it is a tailor-made concept for every group.

Fietstocht in ongebruikelijk Amsterdam met lokale privé gids - Het actieve deel van een vrijgezellenuitje voor vrouwen - Met Lex and the City Lexperiences - Augus Hier in Oost bij Mediamatic

  1. Trendy and conscious Czaar Peterstraat. Like the Cacao museum. Their cacao tributes to strengthening the local ecosystem. (Instead of the opposite, which is more the known rule.)
  2. Energy-neutral houseboat on the KNSM island.
  3. The circular crane hotel. Formerly a crane, now a hotel, next to Loods 6 on the KNSM island, in the Eastern Docklands.
  4. The Jakarta Hotel: the green, bicycle-friendly and modern hotel that is also locally connected to this area. The hotel team has been surprising our group already with a cool eco visit.

  5. Discovering sustainable Amsterdam with Lex
    Push

    Biotope Dijkspark Mediamatic. With their remarkable “Pure Gold” experiment. They also fully contribute to the circular economy. Perhaps Mediamatic can also offer a sustainable vegan lunch. (on request)

  6. Space for food on the Marineterrein by Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Metropolitan Solutions – AMS Institute. The goal is to convert waste water into new food, using aerospace technology and vertical farming.
  7. Smart roof 2.0; also on the Marine site. One of the sustainable companies on this sustainability tour. That great view from the roof is a refreshing bonus you’d get. (However you need to do a bit of climbing as well.)
  8. Living Lab with its cool Roboat. Yes, that robot boat! Marineterrein is part of the Eastern Islands; one of those Lex and the City touring specialities in Amsterdam.
  9. The self-driving electric bus on the naval area. (Oli)

As the sustainable development tour​ is taking place in upcoming, trendy neighborhoods, it is not as crowded as in the town center of Amsterdam.
We start in Czaar Peterstraat, at least when you need to rent a bike first.


Availability of that eco cycle tour in Amsterdam

A question we get quite a lot: Hello, do you operate the eco-tour in the next days? Is it possible to join?
Answer: it is a private tour. A short notice private eco-tour without the promise of a visit is possible most of the time. it contains standard visits and than it needs 2 weeks preparation as. Without visits we’re considering it still interesting. 

Tailor made bike tours in Amsterdam are part of the DNA of Lex and the City. Because we like to explore, the unusual, new stuff and new perspectives.


Pricing and Lex and the City conditions for this durable, private bike tour

Lex and the city rates for tours and other leisure experiences in Amsterdam.

For every group we prepare 2 or 3 eco-visits. 3 triggers. As we refer to our general pricing page here, it means those brief visits are still for free. The reason is we are still in the phase of fine-tuning this sustainable Lexperience.

28 green & conscious, locations popping up in our mind for being part of sustainable & unusual tours in Amsterdam:


Biking, footbiking and inline skating in the city is durable as well.

We are acting sustainable as well, by offering active tours, consciously using muscles; experiences (Lexperiences), in the city by bike, on inline skates, by footbike (scooter) and walking tours. And in times of less demand for tour experiences, like during the 1st part of the Corona Crisis, we tend to turn into a green, sporty courier on wheels in the city.

Call Lex at +31 6 55 33 77 26 for a customized bike tour, or carry on reading what Lex and the City is all about (Watch out: we are unusual to the bone!).
The full green bike tour needs to be reserved a few weeks in advance, as we need to prepare well, including visits.
Last minutes (seconds?) are possible as well, however maybe with less visits.

When riding an ecological biking tour in Amsterdam?

Does everyone know how to bike well? This is a must.
In case it is Saturday , we prefer you to plan in the morning. Saturday afternoon is the busiest time of the whole week and therefore not ideal. Midweek starting 2:00 PM is the best time, as rush hours start at 4. Even better is to plan earlier, as it happens quite a lot groups arrive later and we prefer to avoid rush hours and also to disappoint groups while arriving.
Sunday is the safest and most relaxed day for a private Sustainability Biking Tour, however offices are closed.

Amsterdam has been voted number 2 city in the world in 2021 by Time Out magazine, partly because of it’s sustainability and it’s green character.

Or I refer you to the Lex and the City landing tour page private guide Amsterdam

Cheers.
