Great guide; tour company poor communication

Jeff_D, Apr 2026
Our guide Scarlet was very good and knowledgeable (5 stars). The tour company and wrong meeting location and no communication about different bike location (2 stars). Scarlet let us customize our trip itinerary. One IMPORTANT note... the location of the bike shop where to meet is WRONG... THEY USED TO BE THERE AND NOW several blocks away and was frustrating and made it difficult to find . We were wearing bike clothes and our guide saw us in the public square a block south of where the original place to meet was. Further, I'm disappointed that the tour owner or manager or someone didn't message me yesterday after I booked the trip and tell me the new bike location place which is about 5 blocks away.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re really glad you enjoyed the tour with Scarlet, and we apologize for the confusion regarding the meeting location and communication.

James was an amazing guide! Super knowledgeable and he kept the pace reasonable. It was great to see the historical landmarks and it was also very interesting to learn how some of them are linked to our home country.

Maria was wonderful! Such a great guide and showed us all around the history and highlights of Amsterdam. Took great care to make us safe on the bikes and customized the tour for what we were hoping to see and more. Great history and fun!

Great tour -Definitely recommend!

Andrea was amazing! So fun and informative. She was very attentive to our safety and making sure we got to see all we wanted to see. She knows a lot about the city and its history. She is passionate about what she does. What a great trip!!!

Aarre is the best guide

Shannon_C, Apr 2025
Aarre was a fantastic guide! He safely navigated our way through the streets and canals to give us a thorough guide to this busy city. It’s a must do!

Wonderful experience....

Andrew_C, Dec 2024
Wonderful experience. Aarre was fabulous! Learned so much but even better we were able to see Amsterdam like a local.

Great ride with James

Catherine_P, May 2024
A fun bike ride with James. He was friendly and knowledgeable of all of Amsterdam. He toured us all around the city and made sure we were safe as it can get very busy.

No better way to see the city in only 2 hrs!

suzi_p, May 2024
We were in the port of Amsterdam for only 5 hours as we had arrived by cruise ship. We booked a bicycle tour and would highly recommend. We had initially booked a Segway tour but switched to bikes since it was more similar to the Locals. My husband is 64 and not confident on a bike but David went at a leisurely pace and despite the seemingly chaotic sea of people and bikes … we found it very enjoyable and relaxing. What a terrify. Way to see cover so much ground in a short time. David stopped at several spots and tomorrow our picture. Our boys 19 and 24 lived this tour as well!

Bob_C, Jul 2023
A lot of fun it was wonderful to see the whole city and the park. Going by bicycle is the only way to tour the city

Riding bikes in Amsterdam...

Amber_F, May 2023
Riding bikes in Amsterdam is exhilarating! Loved seeing the city in two wheels with a wonderful guide to show us around. We did this tour upon arrival into the city which was very helpful to get our bearings on the area.

Two hours of fun

caroline_n, Nov 2022
Riding Amsterdam is an amazing way to see the city and we were fortunate to have James to ourselves. He guided us through the streets keeping us safe and informed. Two hours was just the right amount of time for us to get to grips with Amsterdam.

Book the private tour with Craig!

Jenna_N, Aug 2022
We booked the private tour with Craig and we could have not been more happy. What an amazing person - it felt like doing the tour with a friend. His stories and humor were just brilliant. Within 2.5 hours it felt like we explored the whole of Amsterdam, it was really great. Loved it!

This tour made it fun to learn

Robert_M, Jul 2022
Definitely the best way to enjoy the city: on a bike! It was a very entertaining tour with many things to learn. Also very great for the environment, which is something the Dutch must care deeply about because I saw more bikes than cars in the city.

Stan is the best

Aiden_e, Aug 2021
There is NO better way to see Amsterdam as a local! We had the best time taking this tour with Stan. He was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the city, which my son and I really enjoyed. Thank you again.

Bike like the locals!

Jason_D, Jun 2021
Our friends recommend to take this tour and we are glad we did. Amsterdam by bike is really the best way to explore the city. In two hours it felt like we seen the whole city and we learned so much. We have covered different areas and the guide even took us on the boat to the north of the city. Here we cycled through the countryside and even seen a few windmills. We already seen a big part of the center on another tour so that is why the guide took us to a different area (the benefit of a private tour). It was a really relaxed vibe and we had a beer with the guide afterwards.

Peter is an amazing guide

Danny_H, Feb 2021
We had an excellent tour of Amsterdam by bike. It ended up being just the two of us with our guide Peter. He is great! A must do while in Amsterdam.

Very great and enjoyable bike tour through Amsterdam

Amsterdam by bike

Jennifer_S, Nov 2020
Our tour guide Stan was very nice and really knew a lot about the history of Amsterdam. When cycling he took small breaks so it was perfect. The bikes were also very comfortable! Highly recommended tour.

Great guide and perfect way to see the city!

Manfred_B, Aug 2020
Our guide Stan was great! Lots of history learnt about Amsterdam. Great value and definitely a bike tour we would recommend!!

Amazing tour with our guide Stan!

Alex_L, Jul 2020
We really enjoyed this tour with our guide Stan. He is a great guide with an amazing personality. This tour was also private which means there were no other people doing the tour. This way we could do the tour at our own pace. Stan answered all our questions without hesitation! He is a great guide !!! Thank you very much for everything :) Highly recommended.

at any time again

Stefan_B, May 2025
