Fun and educational. Titus, our tour guide was so wonderful and knowledgeable of the city. He guided us all over the city of Amsterdam, telling us so much interesting information. I never realized what a bike town Amsterdam is, and I am so glad I took this tour and was able to explore the city. I recommend this tour to everyone young and old.

Doing what: Dutch Villages and Countryside Bike Tour from Amsterdam

The tour was a good value. We were concerned that they would not have variable bike sizes. However, they have many different sized bikes for people of different heights. The bikes have back pedal brake and are one speed. The tour guide was excellent and spent extra time taking us to the top of a church in a small village.

We thoroughly enjoyed our Dutch Villages and Countryside tour. Our guide David was excellent at getting us acquainted with our bikes and leading us safely through the city traffic and over to to North Amsterdam.. Once there, he set a very good pace for the group and described the various sites as we went along. The lunch spot had very good food and a good selection of beers which is always good. I would recommend this tour to friends.Good job!

The Guide was great. Unfortunately, my Bike had a flat that could not be repaired after the first half hour. They refunded my money after doing everything to fix the problem. They were a first class group from beginning to end.

Great trip and the perfect option for Amsterdam bike riding if you're a little unsure of navigating the inner city with traffic you're not quite used to.

David our guide was a really nice guy and answered any of our questions no matter what was asked.

Ride wasn't too taxing even though the wind was blowing quite heavily and the Amsterdam country is beautiful with friendly inhabitants abound.

With so much to see and do in Amsterdam I'd recommend this right up there at the top of the list.

Had the most wonderful time. Our tour was just great. He is very knowelagble and personality was great. The bike were ready and it was just my husband and me on the tour which I was so glad that they did not cancell it as this tour is a MUST when you are in Amsterdam as the country side is beautifull. Mant thanks and IF we every go back to Amsterdam will do the bike tour again. Many thanks.

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.

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)

I really enjoyed this trip and I loved seeing the countryside. Biking through the countryside felt like the more authentic way to see Holland the a bus. While this is a great trip it is not for everyone. This is a long bike ride that while worth it is physically demanding and very tiring. Also being Holland it is usually raining, thankfully the tour does offer rain coats to wear. If you are in good shape this is a great trip.

The tour was excellent... the bicycles were terrible.

Maybe it is a north american thing, but we are not used to coaster brake bikes. The problem is, at a stop sign, we cannot rotate the crank to get the pedal into the proper position to stand up and accelerate properly when we have to go. Everyone here uses bikes with rear free-wheel hubs and handbrakes.

I vote for freewheel rear hubs and front and rear handbrakes, please.

Not really a long enough ride. We had finished it in 1 hour and 45 minutes and the guide only gave us 3 small pieces of information. The bikes were good and can be hired independently which would have been a better idea but would not do a yellow bike tour again
