We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Laura! She was very informative and made the trip a lot of fun! This was a great way to really see the city and check out what we wanted to go back to when we had more time. I really enjoyed her in depth knowledge of the history of Amsterdam.

A little intense but fun if you’re into riding.

Vivian_M, Apr 2024

It was nice to ride through the streets of Amsterdam. However, this tour was a little more intense than we expected. There is a lot to navigate (pedestrians, cars, trams and other cyclists). It would have been good to stop at a few more places and get a bit more historical information. It felt a little rushed. Our guide was very passionate about the city and quite personable. I did this tour with a 10 year old. Make sure you’re child is a confident rider if you choose to do this.

Hi Vivian! Thanks for taking the time to write a review and yes, there is a lot of to navigate in most cities when you are on a bike :) If you would like to learn more about history, next time please make sure you book the Walking City Tour where we tell all about the city's history. We hope to welcome you again on one of our tours!

Great way to see Amsterdam!

Great bike tour!! Highly...

Gretchen_T, Apr 2024

Great bike tour!! Highly recommend! Ran into issues with the canal cruise as we weren't shown as booked through them (we did the bike tour and the company just told us where to get the canal cruise) - it was confusing but the canal cruise felt bad for us and let us get on anyway. Said it was an issue with Viator itself. Do the bike tour!

The tour guide was very...

Sujana_G, Apr 2024

The tour guide was very friendly and informative about the places he took us for the tour. The bike were a little different than the ones were used to but were comfortable. Riding along the canals and the city were very interesting as we drive on the opposite lanes than in Amsterdam. We the family of four had a very good time. And we would definitely recommend the service.

Fun, informative cycling tour of Amsterdam

Roger_C, Sep 2023

Our guide was from Spain originally but this did not mean he was lacking any knowledge of Amsterdam and the history behind the city. What an enthusiastic and likeable guy, really fun to spend time with and he looked after the group very well. We would absolutely recommend this tour to get a flavour of the different areas in Amsterdam. It went by too quickly. Thanks very much :) Katy and Roger

Fun ride

Barry_M, Sep 2023

Great way to cover a lot of Amsterdam and find out the backstory to places of interest. Guide was natural, friendly and informative. You need to be reasonably able on a bike to keep up and cope with the other traffic but we felt safe at all times. Thoroughly recommend based on our experience

Ok tour

Tiarne_S, Sep 2023

Wasn’t overly impressed with the tour. We have done a lot of bike tours in cities round the world. And this one wasn’t a fav. Feel like we could have done without paying for the guide, as we didn’t stop for photos much and not alot history shared. Was ok.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Hello Tiarne, thanks for you review, it will help us to continue improving the bike tour. Best regards!

Jack_M, Aug 2023

Laura was superb. She was very passionate about Amsterdam and we would book with her again given the chance. She made the tour 5 stars!

Definitely recommend

Shanna_T, Aug 2023

Really friendly and helpful team sorted our bikes so we were comfortable before leaving, including my anxious 11 year old who tried 3 bikes before finding one she liked. Super interesting route chosen by our fabulous guide Lauren; who was also full of interesting local information about the area and stops.

A great adventure!

Jakki_S, Aug 2023

Great experience in the city

Elizabeth_O, Aug 2023

It was quite fun riding through the bustling streets. It got a bit hair raising at times with crowds and crossing roads. Great sightseeing. We stopped along the way to get explanations. The river cruise afterwards was ok and with one of the big crowds which was ok.

Great tour, poor instructions from viator

Merry_B, Aug 2023

The bicycle tour was outstanding! But it was very hard to book through your company. The wrong address was given. It was good. I started early because it took me 15 minutes to get to the right address. Also, you do not take Apple Pay, definitely a drawback.

Tania_W, Jul 2023

A lovely way to see Amsterdam and experience the culture of bike riding around the city. Lots of interesting information from our guide with great humour. A truly lovely day.

Great way to start your visit in Amsterdam!
