Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour
Description
What sets our Amsterdam City Bike Tour apart is the way we guide it. This is not a follow the flag race through traffic. It is a well-paced, well-managed ride designed to help confident cyclists experience Amsterdam like locals do. With a maximum of 15 guests, your guide can keep the group together, choose the most enjoyable cycling lanes, and make space for questions, photos, and real stories along the way. You will get a clear safety briefing at the start, then ride through the city with a guide who shares local insights about Amsterdam’s neighborhoods, history, and everyday bike culture, plus practical tips you can use for the rest of your trip.

My grandson had trouble using the e-bike we rented so they let us change our booking to a different tour, I can't believe they worked with us so that we didn't lose our money. They were so helpful. I would absolutely recommend Mike's Bikes!
We had a great tour of Amsterdam. It was literally one of the hottest days on record in Amsterdam and our guide did everything he could to find us shady spots to stop in to give us a little local flavor about the neighborhoods. It was a nice path that exposed us to all the right spots. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.

The bike tour was absolutely fantastic! Sophia was a great (and funny) guide, she explained very well how to navigate the chaotic traffic in Amsterdam and showed us many interesting sights we wouldn’t have seen otherwise. It was extremely entertaining which made the time fly by. I highly recommend. Thanks for this unforgettable experience, Sophia!

We had the best time getting a bike tour with Simon! He was energetic, funny, and knowledgeable. I 110% recommend taking this tour as you get to see a other side of Amsterdam.

Nice experience with a nice guide who has a lot to say, recommended!
So much easier with a guide that knows the area and road rules. Our tour guide Simon was full of knowledge and fun. Great pace never left anyone behind and always looking over his shoulder to make sure everyone were there. Fantastic experience.
Our guide David B was good. Pace, distance, scenery was all good. We rode 25 miles thru Waterland area thru a few small towns, along farm's and canals. Only negative bike needed a tuneup. Constantly clicking. chain kept jumping. If bike worked well I would give it 5 stars for group tour but I did rent a bike, to go biking and it worked poorly.
We were excited to tour Amsterdam for 2.5 hours on pedal assisted E-Bikes and a bit intimidated at first by the sheer volume of bike traffic, trams, and cars. But our guide Rissa ensured we were prepared and ready to go - safely. We had a blast! This is a great way to experience Amsterdam and become oriented to key sights like the Van Gogh and Rijksmuseum, the Jordaan neighborhood, and so much more. It helped us learn the tram system, which ultimately is the best way to get around. Thanks, Mike and Rissa!
We had a great tour with Sebastian on our first full day in Amsterdam. Felt very safe and got to see a lot of the city. Highly recommend!
Execute ebime tour! The best. Would recommend to all as the funnest way to see Amsterdam. Highlight thus far of our trip. The only challenge was that I believed I booked E bikes but when I got there, they said I only had booked regular bikes so either I made a mistake or the booking was not very clear. Either way Mike’s accommodated us and made it happen. They were the best. And our guide was just so knowledgeable and fun to be with. Be careful riding bikes in the Amsterdam we had one down, but all went well.
