The bike tour was awesome!!!! So much fun riding around and learning all about the city with our excellent guide who was translating everything he said into English for us. He was extremely knowledgeable and super friendly. Our group was quite big but he always kept an eye on us all (I was always at the back lol). I would definitely recommend this tour to people who like to bike and want to learn more about the city.

Great tour! We had just landed from a long international flight and it was just what we needed to stretch our legs and see all the sights in Amsterdam! Everyone rides bikes everywhere and it was fun to have a great guide to take us to all the top places to see! A big thank you yo Sebastian-he was a wonderful guide!

This was such a great way to explore the city on a bike and hear about the city’s historical context. The guide was super engaging. It was a very small group: me, my friend, and another solo traveler so it felt very friendly and chill. Highly recommend. Definitely a highlight in our trip.

Very interesting tour and easier than you think on the bikes.

Friendly and informative and great way to see the city!
