Guided bike tour
Cycling in the Netherlands? Always a good idea! But biking with a guide? Even better! A guided bike tour combines the best of both worlds: being active outdoors and discovering a (new) city. On a bike you see a lot in a short time. And thanks to the guide, you discover unknown paths, stories and secrets that you might miss if you go on your own.
As you cycle from one highlight to the next, the guide will tell you about the history, culture and special places you encounter along the way. If you're looking for an interactive way to discover a city, guided biking is the way to go.

Why cycling with a guide?
Cycling with a guide is an experience in itself. You are together with other people nice and active. At the same time you learn, discover and get connected to a city. Cycling with a guide has many other advantages. We list three advantages for you:
- A guide knows all the ins and outs of a city. Whether it's the history of a century-old building or the best local café, you'll get insider information not found in typical tourist guides.
- With a guide, you'll discover places you might never find on your own. From quaint alleys to hidden gems, you'll see the real character of a city.
- No worries about getting lost. The guide has mapped out a route for you. All you have to do is follow the guide, listen to interesting stories and ask all the questions that come to mind.

Two adults can ride along and your guide (the cyclist) will show you the most beautiful spots of Zwolle and tell you a lot about the city. A playful way of a city tour! Especially for loving moments, such as your wedding day or Valentine's Day, there is the love cab or the festive betjak.
