Really great time with Rinse as our guide. It’s a fun but challenging experience to bike in Amsterdam so having a friendly helpful guide makes it manageable and less intimidating. You get to see quite a bit of the city with the 2.5 hours. Learn history and see some beautiful sites including the museums, the Amstel River, Jewish district and some dancing houses. Highly recommend this tour. The process was easy and smooth.

Amsterdam sites by bike
Christine_J, May 2024
We really enjoyed all of this tour. Huw our guide, took time to ensure everyone was ok with their bikes. Covered just about all the main highlights with just the right amount of information. Great way to see a cross section of the city. Highly recommend booking this tour.
Best way to see the city!

The bike was a little tall but everything else was great! The guide was amazingly funny and took great pride in this city
A wealth of knowledge and pride shared
Nina_P, Apr 2024
The History shared and the Holocaust Monument was a memorable site to visit. I shared this trip with a life long friend and neither of us have risen bikes in a while. We felt like the Dutch of only for 2.5 hrs
The best way to see Amsterdam in 2 hours
Sally_D, Apr 2024
Connie was an excellent tour guide! She knew her way around the city so well and changed our route according to how busy it was. She was upbeat and helpful. We were able to see so much of Amsterdam and loved all the little back streets the best. Every 5 minutes we stopped and Connie taught us some historical information. The pouring rain did not spoil this experience!
A great bike tour
Eleonora_B, Apr 2024

A great tour for day 1
Martin_B, Apr 2024
Our guide Rinse took us on a great tour, showing us the history of the city, giving us a feel of the city with a ride up through some of the most beautiful places in town with little hidden gems of street art and culture. Even having not been on a bike in over a decade I was able to keep up with our experienced guide. I can't recommend this enough
Great Ride with Ludo
Kelly_M, Apr 2024
Ludo was a great guide!! He gave us a look into the main parts of Amsterdam as well as unique smaller spots that mean a lot to locals. He did a great job navigating and the pace was good! Made the busy streets feel easy!

A Sunny Ride thru Amsterdam
Steven_O, Apr 2024
We enjoyed a leisurely paced ride thru the different districts of Amsterdam and stopped to hear interesting facts about each of them. We saw Museum Square (Van Gogh Museum and Riksmuseum), Anne Frank House, Vongelpark, Jewish Memorial of Names). The pace was nice and no muscle pain was felt the next day. Lucas, our guide, maintained a safe pace and kept the group together.
Great way to see the city!
Chantel_E, Apr 2024
Despite the rain, Gus was fantastic. He was knowledgeable about the city. I was nervous about traveling by bike but Gus explained everything along the way. Great way to see the city. Would absolutely recommend. I was nervous about traveling by bike, but Gus explained everything, fact I feel confident to rent a bike and ride solo.
The tour of the city was...

Cycle Amsterdam like a native!
Maria_C, Apr 2024
Great cycling tour of Amsterdam with Hugh! Whizzed along the canals like natives (almost!!), getting to see loads of the city! Plenty of local knowledge from Hugh & special thanks for getting to see the zoo & a ‘real’ windmill-bonus highlights!!
Fun ride
John_G, Mar 2024
Great informative tour guide, learned a lot , good exercise-saw any sites. Was centrally close to Marriott hotel
Great tour, and great workout, lol
ThomasRouleau, Mar 2024
This tip was great, the guide and his assistant were very knowledgeable, and took us to all the great sites. The only thing i would suggest is maybe a little more time at each site to maybe sightsee and take some pics, but other then that, great!
Highly recommend
Tracy_D, Mar 2024
We loved the overview of the city on our first day so we would know what areas to return to. Our guide, Hugh offered some interesting facts about the city. We are senior experienced bikers and this was manageable for us. Highly recommend!
Fun
