Jessie guided our group, 11 folks in all, through Amsterdam on a fantastic afternoon ride. He was friendly, fun & informative. 100% recommend. Only suggestion is to check the condition of the bike you are given before taking off. The bikes are older and my son’s brakes were pretty worn down. Mine were fine, as were the rest of the group, as far as I know.
Brian, was a great guide very knowledgeable with great sense of humour. He took great care of us all, and appeared to have a great love of the city and its history. A must do if in Amsterdam.
Great way to get on a bike and see the highlights and hear the history of Amsterdam. Who knew NYC was named after so many Dutch towns?
Great way to view the city and Brian’s local history knowledge was amazing. Definitely recommend it to everyone who is interested in the history of the city.
Good time. Had a great knowledge of the area. And really appreciated his insight.
Our guide Leonard, was very friendly and helpful, he shared information at the various stopping points in an engaging and funny manner. The bikes were comfortable and well maintained. A great way to see the city and learn about it's past. Highly recommend.
It was so so fun ! Parker knew so much about the city and the history. It starts a bit history heavy but it really was helpful in understanding Amsterdam and made the rest of the tour even more enjoyable. Parker helped us navigate the streets and road rules, making it very approachable and ensuring we felt safe. The best way to start our trip, we feel like we know Amsterdam so much better now. Highly recommend !
Excellent chilled out tour through Amsterdam. Highly recommend. We had a large group with the youngest at an age of 10 year and everyone loved it. Thank you for the experience.
A great 3 hour experience, with an experienced guide. See some places that may not be on your to-do list.
This was the highlight of our stay. Such an exhilarating experience. I hadn't ridden a bike properly for years but Trey our guide was fantastic. He instilled confidence and made the three hours pass by so easily. Yes crossing roads was tricky at points but you quickly got used to it and relaxed into it. Our guide was really knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam and the hidden gems within the city. We had a great stop in a lovely park and it introduced us to all different areas of the city. Wish we had also done the country one now ...but we will return and do that😁. Fantastic experience and well worth it.
