The Experience Overview

The Mixed Beer & Bubbles Bike Tour is less about sightseeing and more about enjoying a lively, social ride around the outskirts of Amsterdam. You’ll hop onto a specially designed Bar on Wheels—more formally called a “Party Pub on Wheels”—and pedal through North Holland, with a guide (or “sover driver”) leading the way. This is not your typical sightseeing tour; it’s a party on wheels.

The tour lasts about 1.5 hours, giving you enough time to enjoy the drinks, chat, and take in the surroundings without feeling rushed. It starts at Nieuwe Hemweg 2, a location that’s accessible via a free ferry from behind Central Station—a bit of a scenic shortcut to kick off your adventure.

Why This Tour Is a Great Choice

Unique Mode of Transportation

Instead of a standard bus or walking tour, you’re on a pedal-powered party bus. This makes the experience stand out, especially for groups looking to inject some fun into their sightseeing. Plus, with a dedicated sober driver, everyone can relax and enjoy the drinks without worrying about navigating or driving.

Drinks & Atmosphere

One of the main draws is the unlimited beer option, which you can extend by ordering an extra 20 liters for an additional €80 (payable in cash before the tour). Throughout the ride, cold beers and prosecco flow freely, making it perfect for celebrating an event or just having a good time with friends. Several reviews mention the quality of the drinks and the lively vibe as major highlights, with one reviewer calling it “BRILLIANT” and praising the “perfect amount of alcohol.”
