See Amsterdam by bike on a 2.5-hour guided ride through Jordaan, Vondelpark, Museum Quarter, the Amstel, and historic harbor islands.
“This is not a pleasant bicycle ride on bike paths. There's a lot of traffic and road crossings that are fairly dangerous if anyone isn't really paying attention. My wife was really stressed out the whole time and couldn't wait to be done. With a big group of 15 bicycles it is hard to stay with the group at times because not everyone gets through the intersections before the light goes red. The guide was great, I will say that. The bicycles are cheap and wobbly. My handlebars were not tight and they moved up and down.”

“Very easy experience getting to the meeting spot and finding a bike to fit you. Quick and no nonsense, leaves on time. Our tour guide, Ewan, spoke great English and took us to see many places. He led the group at a biking speed that would work for all levels of bikers, and was very clear with his directional signals telling us where to go. One thing I will say is that Amsterdam can get crowded during the day with lots of other bikes, buses, cars, construction, etc, so I would recommend taking an early morning tour. We did the 10am and we managed to escape the rush.”
