What a day

JENNIFER_B, Apr 2024

Biked all over the city-was frustrating that the guide was in such a hurry he lost most of us at intersections etc-whizzing by everything at great speed, we went all over, but didn’t get much history nor information even when we stopped. Those that haven’t been on a bike in years definitely struggled and lagged behind. The canal tour that followed was fantastic-best boat company by far-quite chaotic at the dock and nobody with announcements or signs of which times are assigned to which boats so everyone just standing around waiting to be called-but no one calling out-we finally went to someone specific and were told which boat to get on as out was already ready to leave.

Great experience for seasoned bikers

Natalie_S, Feb 2024

The bike tour was very informative and our tour guide was wonderful but I would not recommend for beginners. It was a small group, but it was hard for everyone to keep up with our guide. However, the boat tour was lovely and our guide Gloria was very knowledgeable and courteous. I would recommend!

Roe_P, Oct 2023

Nice cool guide, but the bikes were low quality. The boat trip was nice, but I didn’t appreciate the cheese being left out to the flies before we boarded.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Dear Roe thanks for taking the time to write a review. We really appreciate that, and we are very sorry to hear your bike was not as expected. We are glad to hear our guide did the best during the tour. We hope to see you soon Best Regards

Eddie_G, Aug 2023

Little concerned as we started in the rain, but after 30 mins, we enjoyed sunshine and dried off in minutes. Enjoyable ride on the bikes and subsequent canal ride. Bike shop was very accommodating holding my travel bags when I did not have time to check-in to my hotel upon arrival into town.

Bikes and Canals A busy fun day In Amsterdam

Meganne_L, Aug 2023

It was a great time. Bike ring very fun..got a bit scary later in the day as traffic increased but we had a good experience. Rob was a great guide. We had thought the canal ride was w the same company but it was a combination w another company. We had to get ourselves to the dock which was easy. Grabbed a bus bc our legs were a bit tired from the 2.5 hr bike ride. Canal cruise was very enjoyable. Good drinks, cheese and company..boats are packed tightly

So much fun!

Samantha_R, Aug 2023

Great way to explore the city! We had a smaller group for the bike portion which made it nice to customize our experience a bit more. But if you’re not comfortable on a bike, this tour is not for you. There are a few hills to bike up and you will have to navigate through some busy streets. The canal cruise was great! Loved seeing all the architecture of the city and learning history behind the buildings and canals. They kept our glasses filled the entire time. So much fun and would recommend if you like to explore cities in a different way.

Fun to bike, but could have did it on my own

Brieyen_P, Aug 2023

I wish we learned a little more and had more talking in front of monuments. Nice to bike around the city, even in the rain but I wanted more facts and history.

Definitely worth it

Good bikes, good pace, nice guide, fun boat ride with unlimited wine and cheese. Overall great value.

Great tour… guide gave good history on the stops and answered questions. Guide made sure the group stayed together.

Great Bike Tour Poor catalog choice

Alex_M, Oct 2022

The bicycle tour was excellent. In the catalog it did not specify that the river cruise was at a different time and unfortunately I was able to go on it do to a schedule conflict.
