Amsterdam: Guided Bike Tour City Centre in EN/DE/FR/ES

1.Guided Bike Tour City Centre in EN/DE/FR/ES

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 4,187 reviews · from $41Our pick

Ride through Amsterdam’s main districts with a local guide on a comfortable three-speed bicycle. You’ll see the Western Islands, Jordaan, Museum Quarter, De Pijp, Magere Brug, and the Maritime Quarter, with a break in Vondelpark. Groups are capped at 15, and guides such as Rad, Chris, Carlos, and Miriam are praised for clear explanations and patient pacing.

“Really enjoyed my bike tour with Chris. Small group of us (4) and he was very knowledgeable and friendly. A brilliant way to see more of the city, and to join the other Amsterdam cyclists was good fun! Would recommend to friends, family and anyone. A little confidence in cycling does help, but there’s a ‘warm up’ along the quieter roads to get used to it before you join the large cycling crowded routes.”

We started in the northern part of the city, but then went far out into the countryside, rode thru some little fishing villages, and visited a cheese factory. The path is very flat and very easy, although she wanted to try e-bikes and they were easy to use. you could do this with a regular bike quite easily with moderate fitness level. It’s fantastic way to see the surrounding area and our tour guide was wonderful.”
