Donnie, our guide, was great to help us get oriented on our bikes in this busy city, took us to the best cookie place we have ever been to!

Great bike tour of Amsterdam! Our guide, Arun, was knowledgeable and chill. We are lapsed bicyclists, but we're quite comfortable touring around.

Nice ride

Steven_L, Oct 2023

A leisurely ride filled with many insights about Amsterdam. Our guide was knowledgeable and adjusted the ride to our interests.

A great way to explore the city

Mihai_R, Oct 2023

Annet was an amazing guide. She is an artist, she is knowledgeable and she has many tips to share about life in the city. I took a private tour and she adjusted the tour according to my interests. I highly recommend her.

Don’t miss bike riding in Amsterdam!

Leslie_B, Jul 2023

Anna was a knowledgeable tour guide who made sure we’d be comfortable with our ride. The ride she suggested was perfect and me and my 3 teen/young adult boys. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

I'm your tour guide..... but not really

Daniel_B, May 2023

To handle bikes without handbrakes was a new experience for us. Hence, we decided to start our trip outside the city center. Our tour guide brought us to quite interesting places (such as the Scheepvaartmuseum, near the zoo, Protestanztse Kerk Amsterdam, etc.) We quickly recognized that our tour-guide was not even slightly literate of Amsterdam’s history or any of the objects seen. (such as surly key historical buildings/museums) Nevertheless, we are still glad that we booked this bike tour – but next time we will insist on better bicycle and a professional tour guide…

Jennifer_M, May 2023

So nice Annet was a great guide, highly recommend her! We had so much fun touring the city. Great way to cover a lot of ground and really see some beautiful sites. Worth every penny, we loved it!! Ride that bike!

Very knowledgeable and...

Todd_V, Oct 2022

Very knowledgeable and took the time to explain the history of this beautiful city. Also a very patient bike rider with good instructions on how to manage the crazy Amsterdam traffic.

Beware of Star Bikes

BruceLemmerman, Oct 2022

We walked to Star bikes for our excursion and they were not ready. The tour guide they/you hired did not show up. They had no backup plan. We waited around for an hour and they finally said sorry and sent us back to our hotel. We planned our trip for months and this was our first experience in Amsterdam.

What a great way to see Amsterdam! Our guide was knowledgeable and Made the experience fun for everyone

Best tour of Amsterdam

Melissa_K, Aug 2022

We had Carolina as our guide and we absolutely loved her. She did such a wonderful job not only with the history but with guiding the bike ride. We hadn’t ridden bikes in a few years and she was so empathetic. Highly recommend!

Great way to get a feel for Amsterdam!

Thomas_W, Jul 2022

We had a great time and Sebastian was a lot of fun to be with for the afternoon. The bike tour wandered around the old city and didn’t really go past the major landmarks such as Central Station or Dam Square, but seemed to double back on itself in the wandering recovering previously traveled streets. A bit more planning and defined itinerary would be beneficial. However, I can’t put the burden for that on Sebastian as we did not articulate any specific desires, and I’m sure if I had mentioned a few priorities Sebastian would have happily incorporated them into our ride.

Lovely

Christine_R, Jun 2022

What an incredible journey! Learning to bike the streets of Amsterdam while hearing about the city’s amazing history and culture was an experience my daughter and I will treasure. Thank you!

Great bike tour !

suzanne_k, Jun 2022

Martin was a very interesting tour guide with wonderful information. Bike ride was great and we saw some of the city we might not have otherwise .

Anna was a great tour...

Julie_R, May 2022

Anna was a great tour guide! We went on a awesome bike tour on the north side of Amsterdam and through the countryside. We saw 4 villages and lots of beautiful countryside. I’d highly recommend it.

Fun Cycling Through Amsterdam!

Sherry_H, Apr 2022

Sebastian, our guide was great! He was very patient with us novice city cyclists. We navigated the busy streets of Amsterdam and loved seeing the the highlights as well as gems tucked away in less traveled neighborhood streets. We learned so much, thank you!

Fun and easy slow roll

Michele_W, Apr 2022

Arun was helpful and a good guide with interesting tidbits of info. It was so helpful to learn the rules of cycling in Amsterdam which were not always obvious. Having a guide was so much easier that going alone.

Great way to explore the city

Irina_O, Oct 2021

This private bike tour is a great way to see the various areas of Amsterdam and get a feel for the city. We felt like one of the locals riding our Dutch-style bikes (careful: backwards pedal to break!) and exploring a larger area in a short time. Our guide wove historical and cultural tidbits throughout our tour and it was a morning well spent.

It was so fun cycling...

Carola_v, Oct 2021

It was so fun cycling through the Urban Jungle of Amsterdam. My German friend was glad she survived…. Donnie did A very good job!

Sebastian is the best!

Gregory_L, Aug 2021

Sebastian was awesome!! Really nice guy and super knowledgeable about the city. He really took the time to show us Amsterdam in a personal and informative way. It's the smaller detailed things you learn with a knowledgeable guide that makes all the difference in the world. I've been to Amsterdam before but he had me see it in a brand new light and helped my wife really appreciate the city for her first visit. Can't say enough about what a great tour it was. Defiantly ask for Sebastian if you do one of these private bike tours.

Tour Amsterdam like a local

Scott_K, Jul 2020

Marten is an excellent guide. Friendly and knowledgeable, he easily put all of us at ease. He has many interesting anecdotes to share about life in Amsterdam and the Netherlands, and is very good at keeping you interested in every place you stop. He also has good recommendations on places to visit or restaurants to patronize. The tour is an excellent way to see Amsterdam like the locals do.
