This bike tour was terrific! Our guide, Jelte, was very informative and friendly. This was a welcome escape from the busy streets of Amsterdam, so glad we did it. Highly recommend it, the only drawback was some unexpected mosquito swarms but Jelte got us away from them as quickly as possible.
We were a party of 17 girls and everyone really enjoyed the bike tour. We saw parts of Amsterdam we would not normally have seen. We tasted local food, which was delicious and even got a beer at the end.
This trip is brilliant - don't miss out
Great bike tour with a lovely tour guide. Well worth the money. Great fun and interesting. Great way to see the city. Thanks so much.
I was the only person to show up on my scheduled tour date, and the guide didn't have to do the tour, but he did anyway. I got to see lovely, hidden courtyards and parts of town I'd probably not gone to otherwise. It was extremely good value for money and one of the highlights of my trip to Amsterdam. If you're not a regular biker, you may feel sore the next day...I did.
Great tour! Late December cold rainy day only 2 of us on tour and tour guide was still great! Still enthused and informative giving us great info! Second visit to Amsterdam and learned so much new information. Would recommend this over just renting a bike yourself. The tour guide wasn't finished in the allotted time but he continued until he was done! Well worth the money and would recommend. Very happy with this tour and the company it was through!
We booked this tour a week before going to Amsterdam and it was one of the most enjoyable days of the trip! We were expecting a large group which seemed daunting on the hectic roads. However when we arrived it was just the two of us and the guide (maybe something to do with the time of year). Our guide was a very well informed, friendly art historian and despite the cold we felt she was passionate about showing off her city taking us off the beaten track to see some hidden gems. The bikes themselves were also really easy to ride, very cute and well maintained. A great way to see the city.
A perfect blue sky, friendly companions, and a knowledgeable guide – what else could you ask for on a Dutch Villages and Countryside Bike tour? We were worried that we wouldn’t be able to keep up on a 30-km bike ride, but the guide went at a leisurely pace and anyone in reasonable shape would be able to enjoy this experience without any stress or strain. A few tips to make your trip more fun: 1) Map out the location of the Yellow Bike office before you go 2) Arrive at the Yellow Bike office 15 minutes early to get your bike and find your group 3) Bring water, sunglasses, a hat and a light jacket no matter what the weather looks like (your bike will easily hold a small backpack on the front or back)

We really enjoyed our Amsterdam Bike Tour. Guide was very interesting and had many facts about Amsterdam. The route was easy and make for a perfect afternoon. Would recommend to anyone who is looking for a overall view of Amsterdam.
great bike trip. highly recommend.
This was one of the most enjoyable three hours I have spent recently.
The guide Sean, was a mine of information and took us to parts of the city that no tourist could ever have known about, or discovered!!
I could strongly recommend this trip, however, it appears that bike helmets are few in and around Amsterdam !!!!
Sign up and enjoy yourself, especially if you are travelling in a party !!!
A great tour in Amsterdam, and well worth taking the time to go on it. Our guide was highly knowledgeable about the area, and definitely knew how to conduct a bike tour with an array of people with varying bicycling abilities. He led the way, and kept total control of each and every individual. He knew a lot about the area and made the tour educational and entertaining. Everyone should do this tour and with a smile on their face.
What a wonderful way to see Amsterdam! Even though the weather was a little rainy we saw the real side of the city. Our guide was good and very helpful when we needed to exchange one of our bikes for a better working one. This is an easy ride even for us retirees.
A wonderful way to acclimate yourself to the city and get some exercise. I wish the bikes were in better shape. On one, the hand brakes didn't work and the pedal brakes were very shoddy. The guide was great in telling us things and showing us little off the beaten track places, as well as getting us to all the museums and sights. The following week was easy after this. The 3 hours we spent on the bikes was fun except for the condition of the bikes.
We love cycling, and I am not aware of another city bike tour like this.
Saddle up! See more than you ever could on foot or by coach, Amsterdam is a city that's made for bicycling. Be part of a group small enough to shape the actual tour based on what you'd like to see. Enthusiastic guides with a love of their city that's matched by their knowledge of it! Brand new bikes that are very comfy too.
