The small group bike tour was excellent. Willhem our tour guide was so knowledgeable and helpful, the staff in the store were great at getting us set up. An amazing way to experience and explore Amsterdam under the experienced guidance. Always felt safe and well looked after. Highly recommend Yellow Bikes Tour.

Overview

Follow the locals’ lead on a 2-hour bike tour to explore Amsterdam. In a group capped at 12 people, you’ll ride atop a distinctive yellow bike to discover places vehicles can’t reach and cover more ground than sightseers on foot. As you listen to city commentary, you’ll check off must-see Amsterdam landmarks and neighborhoods; the Skinny Bridge, Anne Frank House, and Jordaan quarter are all en route.
  • Orient yourself in Amsterdam on a short but fun bike tour
  • Hear the history of sights like Magere Brug from a guide
  • Make use of a provided bike helmet and poncho, in case of rain
  • Ride in a small group and skip the worry of being left behind

Very good and friendly guide

Heidi_G, Jan 2026
The bike ride was very nice even if the sun was not shining. The guide on our tour was very good and had original pictures to show us the history which was very useful.

JC 1st day in Amsterdam

Gwolih_C, Nov 2025
Amsterdam definitely is not a bike friendly city. I enjoyed it but my wife didn’t; too much traffic and it’s somewhat dangerous.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Thanks for your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the tour, though we understand that Amsterdam traffic can feel a bit intense—especially for first-time cyclists. Our guides always aim for the safest routes, and we appreciate your comments to help us improve. We hope the rest of your stay in Amsterdam was great! — Yellow Bike Team

Not for the shy rider

brenda_m, Oct 2025
Should be comfortable riding in traffic. But Oliver was great and very informative. Staff at the shop was great as well.

Response from Host, Oct 2025

Thanks so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the tour and that Oliver and our shop team made it a great day. Amsterdam’s streets can definitely be lively, so we always recommend our tours for riders who feel comfortable in traffic. We really appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon!

Wouldn't recommend

Nikhil_G, Sep 2025
The tour guide was very pleasant but the bikes were very poor quality. We didn't get to hear much about the history or monuments. It felt like we were just riding.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Hey Nikhil, Thanks for your feedback! Normally our tours are centered around history and stories. We will check in with the guide to see what could be improved. We are convinced it’s important to own bikes that last for years instead of bikes that can be discarded in no time. That is why some of our bikes show signs of wear. We hope we have a chance to give you a better experience next time!

The tour is a great way...

Katie_W, Aug 2025
The tour is a great way to see a lot of Amsterdam in a short time. Our guide was knowledgeable at each stop and shared interesting facts. But the logistics of this tour were surprising. In a group of 10 people that included a two kids maybe ages 6 and 7, we were given very cursory rules of the road. In a city that is packed with cyclists and cars, we were often stretched out, some of us stuck at lights while others went ahead. The kids rode right behind the guide but were right in the thick of traffic, too. I was amazed there was not a second guide riding at the rear. At one point, a rider had an issue and was well behind and out of sight of the guide. Another rider helped her. The guide also was having bike issues and stayed with the group, waiting for the others to eventually catch up. Two guides would’ve helped a great deal.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found the guide knowledgeable and engaging. We also appreciate your observations regarding the logistics and safety, especially with younger riders. Safety is very important to us, and your comments help us continually improve the experience for all our guests. Thank you again for taking the time to provide this feedback, and we hope to welcome you back on another tour in Amsterdam.

Lovely way to see the city

Polly_F, Aug 2025
Wonderful, informative tour of the city. Lucy’s was awesome and friendly and full of knowledge, being a local! Riding bikes in Amsterdam is no joke. Not for the faint of heart!

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you so much for your kind feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed the tour with Lucy. You’re right, biking in Amsterdam can be quite an adventure, and we’re glad you embraced the challenge!

Bike Tour Adventure

Kelly_R, Jul 2025
We had a great time on this tour while learning the history of Amsterdam. Our guide was very knowledgeable and at times quite funny! Be aware that riding bikes in downtown Amsterdam is not a leisurely activity. One must be aware of other bike riders, cars, and pedestrians. They are everywhere! That being said, I found the tour to be exhilarating and have many great memories from this adventure. One more thing- the bikes we rode had only one hand brake and that was for the front wheel. To slow the back wheel we had to pedal backwards. This took awhile for me to get used to.

Response from Host, Jul 2025

Thank you for your elaborate review, we are happy to hear you had a great time biking in Amsterdam. And that the guide was great! We hope to welcome you again!

Overview of the City

Amy_M, Mar 2025
The tour was perfect for our short time in Amsterdam. We were able to see a lot of the city and lean quite a bit of history. The only negative is that some of the bikes were poor quality and one of ours actually broke down midway through the tour. They were able to provide a replacement quickly so it worked out. Overall great experience and David our tour guide was exceptional!

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for your feedback and kind words. We are happy that you enjoyed the tour dispite the bike that broke down. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

A fun afternoon to see the city!

Melissa_T, Mar 2025
This was such a fun way to see and learn about the city! You definitely need some biking experience as you will be immersed with local bicyclists. Our guide was knowledgeable and super personable.

Response from Host, Mar 2025

Thank you for letting us know! I will pas it on to your guide.

Lovely tour of Amsterdam,...

Introduction to the city

Even on a cold and wet day the tour was great way to understand the city and provide history for the kids.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Thank you for your review! We are glad you had such a good time

Amsterdam by wheels!

Steve_M, Dec 2024
Easy to follow and ride about the town. Make sure you know how to ride as it is very busy. Lots of stops to point out interesting and historical places.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you! We are glad that you had such a good time!

A great adventure

Tim_S, Dec 2024

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your feedback! We hope to see you again

Amsterdam Layover

Karen_C, Oct 2024
We had a 7-hour layover in Amsterdam so we booked this bike tour. It was a great way to learn and get a quick look at this sprawling historic city. If you plan to do the same on your next layover, store your luggage at the airport and hop on the train into the city. The bike shop is only a 10-minute walk from the train station. The roads, however, are not for the faint of heart. Next time I would familiarize myself with the rules of the road before jumping on a bike in Amsterdam. Our tour guide took the lead, but our group was often separated (lights change fast) so you may find yourself left on your own to navigate the busy intersections.

Response from Host, Oct 2024

Thank you for the kind words! We hope to see you again for one of our other tours!

Relaxing City Tour

Kevin_B, Sep 2024
Great tour of neighborhoods on a beautiful day in Amsterdam! Our guide, Oliver, did a great job keeping us safe and informed during our tour. This is my second tour bike tour (countryside being the the other) and now include it in my travels with customers!

Rachael_O, Aug 2024
Our guide Willem was just great. He was informative, funny and helpful. It was a great introduction to Amsterdam and we really enjoyed cycling the city.

A fun and safe cycling tour.

Regina_C, Jun 2024
Really enjoyed pedalling through the city with our guide Sophie. Felt safe in traffic & found the history as well as Sophie’s stories interesting & at times funny! The pace was good, not too fast so I kept up easily. Would definitely recommend.

Great Adventurous Time!

Jermaine_C, May 2024
Great tour! First time being in Amsterdam and this tour really highlighted a lot of the top locations within Amsterdam including the following: Vondelpark, Museum Center which highlights a lot of the top museums in the areas, Anne Frank House, etc. The tour guide was very informative and ensured we had a nice mix of history, sightseeing, and fantastic bike routes. I would definitely recommend.

Great way to see the city

Nice bike ride through city highlights

Karaliese_B, Mar 2024
The tour guide was knowledgeable. Make sure you are comfortable on a bike as it is challenging to navigate other bikes, trams, cars and people during the bike tour.

Great tour, highly recommend it
