I have done these bike tours in many cities. This was the most uncomfortable for me as there are sooooo many cyclists on the roads and tourists - most of whom have no idea what the rules of the road are and what the etiquette on the road is. Otherwise yes - its great to see a city on two wheels. If you are a newbee to this type of transportation maybe its not the place to start ... rather go to Berlin or Paris or London or or or

Much longer and more strenuous than advertised. No helmets provided. One rider fell and the guide was unaware.

I totally enjoyed this tour. I was able to see the many of the major sights in Amsterdam. It also allowed me to see parts of the city I would have never seen on my own. My tour guide was awesome. He was very knowledgeable and very polite. I would definitely recommend this tour.

It was a great way to experience the city. Our guide Elva was really nice. I do think it would have been nice to have a map of the route in case someone gets lost. It's hard to follow with so many bikes and people on the street.

Great time with a small group of international visitors to Amsterdam. The guide made sure everyone was looked after and we saw lots of things throughout Amsterdam. This gave us a great overview of how to travel in Amsterdam for the next few days. You do need some experience with cycling. If you are uncomfortable with cycling in city/suburban setting, this might not be for you.

The tour was fine for me since I was really just looking to ride around Amsterdam and pass some time. However, it was disorganized, not well planned and a bit shorter than advertised, primarily due to starting late. Guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and the bikes were in good working order.

We really enjoyed this bike tour. I was a bit apprehensive because there are so many people on bikes but our guide told us rules of the road and made us feel very comfortable. I recommend them for sure.

It was fun being able to bike around the city, seeing various sights and not having to worry about directions. Our guide, Rad, was kind and patient. He often made sure to check if we were still behind him while cycling on the road. Luckily, our group was fairly small so we rarely got separated. The bike however, was a bit tricky to use not sure if this was due to the size or type of bike and took some time getting used to. There were also a few challenges with cars and pedestrians lots of jaywalkers!, therefore I would recommend this tour to those who are comfortable biking in cities... or just up for a challenge :P

I had a great time biking through Amsterdam. I was the only English-speaker, but the guide was patient and made it work. Great biking experience, balanced with some stops to learn about the areas that we were biking through, as well as a break for coffee/tea and snacks at Vondelpark.

As many will know, Amsterdam is filled with bicyclists! Almost all of the locals ride bikes to and from work everyday. Fortunately for my husband and myself, we were the only two signed up for the bike tour on the day we were scheduled. We had a great experience, but I don't know how I would have felt in a larger group as the streets are very narrow and between pedestrians, cars, trams, and bicycles it can get a bit crazy!

Excellent tour and entertaining tour guide who looked after us and knew his facts.
Review by: ERIN F, November 2015
What a great way to see the city by bike and with a local. Only 4 of us on the tour along with our guide, Rhett, so it was awesome. We felt very at ease riding our bikes in what can be an intimidating city to ride bikes. Rhett was super nice and kind and very informative. Would recommend this to anyone visiting Amsterdam!
