Brian was a wonderful guide that was extremely knowledgeable and connected with every member of my party (even my young son). Given Brian's passion for history and bikes, he was the best ambassador a tourist could want!
Our guide Brian was great , well organised
What a fun tour! The 3 hours fly by. Benjamin was one of the best tour guides I've ever experienced. Such a cool, intelligent, and charismatic young man. The bike culture is absolutely massive in Amsterdam and it would be a crime to visit without seeing the city while riding one. This was the best thing that I did in Amsterdam and it's an easy recommendation for fellow travelers.
Wonderful bike ride to all the best areas. Benjamin was a knowledgeable guide and gave us a great tour! Felt safe on our first bike ride in Amsterdam.
Don't be afraid of biking. This experience was not strenuous, and the guide keeps you well safe. Learned lots of little tidbits of history. Highly recommend
This was an amazing experience! Brian was very knowledgeable, friendly, and engaging. This gave me a greater appreciation for the many unique features of this awesome city.
We had a great time! Had never cycled in Amsterdam before - Brian our guide was fantastic! It was a mix of very busy and quieter. Small group of different abilities. Brian was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humour
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?
Hi, Sandra! Thank you for the glowing review! We agree that a city bike tour is a great way to see Amsterdam's highlights, and it makes us happy to hear that you enjoyed it! All the best, Thijs
