Our daughter and her partner wanted to rent bikes but they’ve never been to Amsterdam before. I didn’t feel comfortable with that idea so my husband and I treated them to this tour. Riding a bike in Amsterdam is like driving a car on the autobahn in Germany. We all had a great time and saw things we probably wouldn’t have on foot. Our guide was knowledgeable, fun, and made safety a priority. My husband is an avid biker and volunteered to be the caboose to help keep track of everyone. We highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting an authentic insider experience. You’ll learn how to properly ride in the city, gain historical and current cultural information, and feel confident in biking on your own afterwards.
Fun experience and great way to enjoy the sights of Amsterdam. Our guide gave us good information along the way. Definitely worth it.
Leonard was our guide and he was the best guide we have had. Not just on this trip but ever!!! He educated us on a lot of history and our family left knowing lots about this wonderful city of Amsterdam. I would definitely check these guys out and look for Leonard.
We had an amazing tour with Brian. The tour was 3 hours long, which may sound like a lot but did not feel too long at all. Brian is brilliant, and passionate, and we loved his stories about the history of Amsterdam that explained how to look at the city. We were in a group of 8. The ride was leisurely paced and we went on safe and easy paths with only a couple of road crossings where we had to watch out for trams. It's was definitely one of the highlights of our stay in Amsterdam.
Our guide Brian was fantastic. He made the experience, enjoyable and educational as well at the same time.
This is a must-do outing in Amsterdam! You get to see the entire city, many different neighborhoods and also learn about the biking culture and history of Amsterdam.
