5.00Brian was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We covered a lot of ground which you couldn't do on foot. It was fun and informative.
An absolute MUST for anyone visiting Amsterdam!

5.00My husband and I started our visit to Amsterdam with a 3 hour bike tour which was the perfect way to be introduced to the city! We got to experience the unique character of Amsterdam and saw so such more than we would have done on a walking tour. We were led by Brian who was an AMAZING guide - knowledgeable, passionate and personable. I would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Amsterdam. Thank you, Brian!
Great way to spend an afternoon learning about the city

5.00This was a great tour. Our guide, Brian, was exceptionally knowledgeable about the history of the city and the Netherlands at large and was very well spoken. His enthusiasm for the subject matter, which can otherwise be a bit dry, really kept everyone engaged and he did a good job of injecting his personality into the tour. I could've done for a bit more biking in the 3 hours, but it was a pace that would be comfortable for anyone and we did cover a good bit of the city. Would highly recommend this to anyone spending just a day or two in Amsterdam (as my family and I did), as it allows you to get quick hits on a lot of the famous places without having to burn a large portion of a day on each one.
Bike tour wonderful!

5.00Lynn was a fantastic tour guide and perfect for my group of college students. I would love to have her guide us again in the future. It was the perfect length and I felt we really got to see a lot of the city.

5.00We've visited Amsterdam a few times but this was the first bike tour and Brian went above and beyond to share the history of amsterdam! Strongly recommend, cycling is the best way to explore the city and to have a passionate local guiding us throughout made it a really special trip!

5.00Our guide Benjamin was friendly and had a wealth of knowledge to share with us. He made the trip interesting and entertaining. He ensured we all stayed safe and together. Even though I hadn't ridden a bike for a decade, the ride wasn't strenuous due to the topography. Benjamin explained how to use the gears and we were fitted for a suitable size bike with correct seat height. The cycling tour was great fun and I'd love to do it again!
BEST way to take in Amsterdam

5.00Brian, our guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and entertaining. Our 6 year old said he was ‘funny’. It was such a fantastic way to see as much as the city as possible as a family. My husband and son rode a tandem, where our 6 year old was on the front seat and my husband behind. They both loved the tandem and it was definitely the safest way to explore the city, even if some of the crossroads were quite challenging! Brian was great at keeping the group together. Thank you very much!
