Stags on tour: The ultimate stag do in Amsterdam

A classic for stag trips to Amsterdam, beer bikes are the best way to see the sights and have a few along the way. Bikes can hold up to 17 people, so group sizes shouldn’t be an issue. For those who aren’t keen on beer other alcohol is available, although spirits are not allowed for health and safety reasons. The routes vary but usually have the same start and end point and allow for stops along the way (including toilet stops every twenty or so minutes), and if there’s something your group are particularly interested to see, the accommodation can usually be made. Tours cycle in rain or shine and come with a driver to make sure you don’t get lost; they also provide information about the city and helpful tips for the rest of your holiday throughout the journey. The bikes are motorised for your comfort and ease of use, so if you’re feeling particularly fragile after a big night or three you won’t be forced to pump the pedals.
