“A very nice introduction to the city for our first day. Thanks Roger !”
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.”

“AMAZING! We loved this tour. It was a great way to explore the city and learn all about Amsterdam - history, culture, major landmarks - this tour had everything. The guide was knowledgeable and had maps and illustrations to show us. The biking was easy and fun. Biking around Amsterdam is not for the faint of heart, but so this guided tour was the perfect way to do it. We all loved it.”

“A must‑do activity! The guides are incredibly friendly and genuinely knowledgeable about the city, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable. The bikes were top‑quality and felt brand new, and the price is amazing for the level of service and overall experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a fun and memorable way to explore the city.”

“If you don't stay too long in Rotterdam, this is a great way to see the town and learn about it from the great guide. If you stay long, do it anyway and preferably the first day! It gives you a general view allowing you to come back to the places you liked.”
See Amsterdam’s canals, Jordaan, museums, parks, and squares by bike in 90 minutes with a friendly English-speaking guide.
“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.”
