An Amazing Private E-Bike Tour of Amsterdam! Sebastian was welcoming, friendly, and incredibly informative. He was an absolute joy to ride around with! My dad and I thoroughly enjoyed the tour, learning so much from his knowledge and having the opportunity to ask questions along the way. Having a private tour was absolutely worth the money, and I would consider this a must-book experience when visiting Amsterdam. The bike ride was beautiful and allowed us to explore different areas of the city and see so much more than we would have on our own. One of the highlights was visiting the oldest windmill still in use. The miller was wonderful and took the time to explain how the windmill works. It was clear that he and Sebastian have a wonderful relationship, which made the experience even more special. My dad is 77 years old, and Sebastian was thoughtful and attentive, making sure he was comfortable and doing well throughout the ride. That extra care meant so much to us. I would absolutely book this tour again if we return to Amsterdam. Sebastian made our day memorable, and we are so grateful he shared his knowledge, time, and love of the city with us. Thank you, Sebastian, for such a wonderful experience! This was one of the highlights of our Amsterdam trip!

Amsterdam bike tour with a German tour guide
I had a really great bike tour through Amsterdam! 🚲🇳🇱 It was especially great that the tour was accompanied by a German tour guide. She was super likable, warm, and brought Amsterdam closer to us with many interesting stories and exciting information. The tour was well-organized, relaxed, and varied. We discovered many beautiful corners and learned a lot about the city in the process. The mix of cycling, sightseeing, and great stories was super. Thank you very much for the lovely tour – absolutely recommended! 😊🚲

Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Dass unsere deutschsprachigen Guides bei Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam die Geschichten so lebendig erzählen, ist genau das, was die Amsterdam City Bike Tour zu mehr macht als eine reine Radfahrt durch die Stadt. Wir freuen uns, dass Ihnen die Mischung aus Fahrradfahren, Sightseeing und Erzählungen so gut gefallen hat. Ich gebe Ihr Lob gerne an das Team weiter. Ashton

Nice job! Guide Jaap is recommended!
Operator response
Bedankt Henry. Jaap krijgt deze week vaker complimenten en ik geef het aan hem door. Op de Amsterdam City Bike Tour zie je in twee uur meer van de stad dan te voet op een hele dag. Onze gidsen wonen hier zelf, dus de verhalen komen uit de stad en niet uit een script. Tot de volgende rit met Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam. / Ashton

An excellent tour to get a good feel of Amsterdam
A superb tour with Stephane who was excellent. We were in a group of 9. Stephane explained the 'health and safety' requirements - including cycling in Amsterdam which is an experience! Stephane asked if there was anything we wanted to see which was a good touch - to personalise the tour. We rode at a steady pace throughout the tour - with frequent stops which allowed Stephane to explain local details - he is very knowledgable! We had electric bikes which probably aren't needed for a city tour
