Fantastic afternoon exploring - We arranged this guided cycle tour to experience life on a bike in Amsterdam and to explore further afield than we would have walked. We weren’t disappointed. Stephan our guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and kind. He geared the tour to those in the group and kept us entertained all afternoon. We saw some amazing parts of Amsterdam we would never of explored on our own and learnt so much. The pace was perfect, with regular stops to observe and learn. The bikes were very comfortable and easy to ride. We would highly recommend this tour

Excellent bike tour of Amsterdam! - I took Stephan's bike tour with my 12 year old daughter, and we had a fantastic time. Stephan was really knowledgable in explaining a lot of historical and cultural elements of Amsterdam along the way for us. We didn't bike too much on streets with busy traffic, so we never felt like we were in danger's path at any time. It was a pretty easy ride with a good amount of stops along the way as Stephan explained things to us. At the end, he treated our whole group to coffee/tea where we got to chat and enjoy each other's company, which was really nice! I would highly recommend this bike tour!

Memorable bike tour with Stephan - Stephan's bike tour is a unique experience. The fun of riding a bicycle combined with Stephan's enthusiasm and storytelling made this a memorable experience for me. I could visit some parts of Amsterdam which I surely would have missed otherwise. Hope to return someday!

Bike tour with Stephan - We did "See Amsterdam's hidden gems by bike" with Stephan in November 2019. The weather was windy accompanied with "wet cold". We had debated not going on the tour because we thought it would be really unpleasant but are really glad we stuck it out. Stephan is a great guide and his passion for his city is infections. Despite the cold we had a great time visiting Stephans favorite spots....places you might not otherwise go. Stephan is friendly, passionate, and fun. My wife plans to do this tour again this summer when her friends visit from the US
