5.00This was our favorite activity while in Amsterdam. It was fun to see the less touristy side of Amsterdam. This is great activity for older kids/teens. The pup is adorable and was an added bonus! Just do this trip. You won’t be disappointed.

5.00Duncan provided us with an amazing experience, full of valuable commentary & history. We were hesitant to even bike here, and the route taken was safe, easy and well planned out! We saw things that we would never have found on our own, or even with another tour, I'm sure. Can't recommend this adventure enough!
Refreshing bike tour outside of tourist core of Amsterdam

4.00It was generally good. Pim brought us around his neighborhood explaining some aspects of Dutch life and history. His dog really added a lot of cuteness and fun to the afternoon. Meeting point was a little hard to find. Overall I wish he had spoken even more about Dutch culture.
Great private tour of Amsterdam.
