Good itinerary - needs smaller group or 2nd guide
We do bike tours in pretty much every city we visit. It’s a great way to see highlights quickly and get your bearings. Mike’s tour did this.
The guide, Igor, was very passionate about Amsterdam, keen to share his deep knowledge. With a humorous style.
So why only 3 stars? The tour group was full at 15 people. The range of riders spanned competent to unconfident and unskilled. Amsterdam is a busy city - cars, bikes, pedestrians. It’s not a place for a novice rider. Igor did his best, but 15 riders of wide ranging ability riding in single file was a big ask for any guide. Trying to manage the group through the busy streets, talk loudly to be heard by a big bunch, and navigate to time was a tough ask. As it was we ran 30min over time - which was very kind of Igor. But we had little time to take photos - basically at each stop Igor shared his detailed knowledge, q&a from the diverse group, then onwards.
At one point the group split in two after a rider toppled sideways at traffic lights. This just highlights the need for a smaller more manageable group of reasonably capable riders for the traffic/cycle/pedestrian conditions! And/or a second guide for this size group.
Operator response
Thanks for the detailed review, and for the fair credit to Igor. Fifteen is the full size for this tour, but a group that spans confident and first-time riders asks more of the guide in city traffic, and running 30 minutes over with little time for photos is not how it should go. I have passed your point on the stops to the guide team. The Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour is built to give you your bearings quickly and still leave time to take the city in, and that is the standard Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam holds itself to.

Amazing Amsterdam
Wonderful tour of Amsterdam, would recommend.
Guide Vincent has an incredible knowledge of his city, so many facts in such a short tour
Everyone showed great patience with my wife, who is not the most confident of cyclists.
Operator response
Thanks for the review. Vincent packing that much of Amsterdam's history into a short ride is what people come back to Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam and mention afterwards. Patience with a less confident rider is something we ask every guide on the Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour to make room for, not rush past. Glad the pace worked for your wife too. Ashton

Very enjoyable bike tour
Gus was brilliant, kept us all safe, lots of good knowledge and great route. The bikes were good, no issues there.
Thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Oh, and Gus, the Albert Cuyp market was brilliant! Thanks for the tip.
Operator response
Thanks for this. Gus sending you to the Albert Cuyp market is the kind of local tip that does not come from a guidebook, and it is what riders remember alongside the Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour itself. Safety and a good route are the baseline we hold every Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam guide to, and Gus clearly delivered both. Glad you enjoyed the ride. Ashton

This bike tour was the...
This bike tour was the highlight of our short time in Amsterdam. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Katya as our guide! She was so knowledgeable and was so in tune with our group, making sure our experience was tailored to what we wanted to prioritize seeing while also sharing insight only a local would know. We would totally recommend this tour and Katya.
Operator response
Thanks Bobbi. Katya will be glad to read this. Tailoring the route to what the group wants to see is exactly how the Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour is meant to run: small enough that the guide can ask, local enough that she has the answer. Insight only a local would know is the Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam standard, not a bonus. Ask for Katya next time. Ashton

E-Bike for us
We went on an e-bike tour today, and it was so much fun! Our group was pretty small, which made it feel nice and quaint.
Katya was our tour guide, and she was so energetic, knowledgeable, and full of interesting information. She asked us if there was anything special we wanted to see, which made the tour feel somewhat customized.
One of the highlights for me was visiting the Holocaust Memorial. It was a very emotional experience, especially for me personally.
Katya also took us to a wonderful market where we tasted some amazing cheese and had the best herring I have ever had! Everything was delicious.
All in all, this was a fantastic tour, and I highly recommend it. If you book this tour, I would definitely ask for Katya. She made the experience so enjoyable and memorable!
Operator response
Thanks Alla. Katya will be glad to read this, and I will pass it on. A small group is what lets the guide ask what you want to see and shape the Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour around the answer. Thank you for sharing what the Holocaust Memorial stop meant to you. Cheese and herring at the market is the local part of the city, and the best herring you have ever had is a line Katya will enjoy. Ask for her by name at Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam. Ashton

Bike tour
Excellent and enjoyable tour. Safe biking even crossing busy roads - our guide was very conscious of keeping group together and safe. Saw alot of sites around Amsterdam guide was very entertaining and gave us lots of information. Tour did not feel rushed.
Operator response
Thanks Karyn. Safe crossings are the part of the job nobody notices until it goes wrong, so the credit for keeping the group together goes to the guide, and I will pass it on if you tell me who led you. The Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour is paced so nobody feels rushed and everybody sees the sights, with a guide from Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam who lives here and has the stories to go with them. Come back for the countryside ride. Ashton

Excellent Tour
Our bike tour was amazing,the guide Gus helped us with cycling protocols and gave a very informative and interesting commentary when we stopped at spots on the way.The staff in the premises who helped us get bikes selected and set up were very professional and helpful.We used e bikes and the cycle was easy I thoroughly enjoyed it, even on a very rainy day.The tour provided ponchos which helped keep the worse of the rain off.Totally 100 percent recommend
Operator response
Thanks Fiona. Gus gets the credit for the commentary and the cycling protocols, and the shop team will be glad the fitting was noticed. Rain is part of Amsterdam, so the ponchos are standard and the e-bikes are why the Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour stays an easy ride whatever the weather. Everyone at Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam will be pleased to read a hundred percent. Ask for Gus next time. Ashton

Fabulous, fun start to our trip!
Fantastic start to our vacation with a friendly, great guide (Ginny) with a super fun and easy ride around Amsterdam. Saw many beautiful sites with informative breaks with guide telling about history and Interesting facts around town. Highly recommend!
Operator response
Thanks Budd. Starting a trip with the Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour is the right call, because the city stops being a maze once you have ridden it. Ginny paces the stops so the history arrives in pieces rather than as a lecture. Our guides live here, so the interesting facts come from knowing the place rather than reading about it. Come and ride with Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam again. / Ashton

Great ride in Amsterdam
Great tour with Greg, easy ride and we had great weather. A great value and fun! We even went long and saw more than normal.
Operator response
Thanks John. Greg reading the group and extending the route is what a small group lets a guide do, and it is not something a fixed coach itinerary can offer. The Amsterdam Highlights Bike or E-Bike Tour covers the centre in the time a walking tour covers one district. Good weather is luck, a guide who uses it well is not. Come and ride with Mike's Bike Tours Amsterdam again.

Bike tours in Amsterdam.
Connie, our tour guide was terrific.
The bikes were in bad shape. The breaks weren't good and two bikes fell apart during the bike trip.
You do not need the E-bike becuase you stop and go for the 2.5 hours. It was a great tour.
