19 rate this tour with 4.8 starsDespite the rain, it was a fantastic tour of Amsterdam! Many thanks to our guide Paul for the lively and fun insights into city life! ***
Our guide Bert and his dog James are what you'd call true Amsterdammers. We were there with our 9-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son, and he catered to the children's needs, kept a watchful eye on them amidst the hustle and bustle of the bike paths, and even had a surprise for them at the end. In short, highly recommended! 👍
We had such a fun bike tour with our family (children 10 and 12) through Amsterdam. Our lovely guide Sierra showed us the nicest spots and gave us lots of interesting information about the city. The 2.5 hours really flew by! We are already thinking about which city we will take our next bike tour in!
Super tour with a fantastic guide ***. She knew so much to tell about the city! During the tour, you don't go into the city center like Dam Square, Kalverstraat, or the Red Light District, but you do go via the east in a semicircle around the city, so you take in a lot.
A very nice bike tour with ***. The guide had lots of fun facts about Amsterdam, and cycling through the city is simply enjoyable. You see a lot. My 12-year-old daughter was also enthusiastic, and that isn't always a given ;-)
We enjoyed the tour and received enthusiastic explanations from our guide ***. We were very satisfied with this outing!
We did the tour on our first day in Amsterdam with our two children; it was the perfect introduction to the city and we all enjoyed it very much. Our younger daughter was thrilled with her children's Dutch bike, and we found the tour varied and interesting. At the different stops, our very friendly guide provided us with lots of interesting information!
Our tour guide Bert was fantastic. His canine partner James always kept a watchful eye on everything 😂👍 It was a wonderful trip for me, my wife, and our son. Thank you!
Tour guide Louis definitely gets 5 stars. The bikes are very old and desperately need an overhaul, hence the one-star deduction.
