Arun was very knowledgeable about the history of Amsterdam. It was a pleasure to ride through the city and listen to his stories. Very enlightening. He was very good at explaining ‘the way to ride and watch where you look’ while riding in Amsterdam. Can be a bit tricky at first but well worth the excitement!Arun rocks

My husband and I recently did a bike tour with Sebastian while visiting Amsterdam. The whole experience was great from start to finish. We met Sebastian at a bike rental store (a tip about that later), and then our journey of about three hours began. We were brought to the banks of the river, great architectural buildings, must eat restaurants, and various local parks where we eventually stopped for a coffee and great conversation at a coffee house. (No, not that kind of coffee shop for those who know what I am talking about!). The tour ended in the canals area which brought different sights. I specifically enjoyed this tour with Sebastian because he brought us out of the city itself to see other parts we would not have done so without it.
As a guide, Sebastian is very knowledgeable about the city, and is super friendly. The bike tour itself is not strenuous, as it stays mainly on flat roads, and starts and ends at the same location. Ok, now for my tip: book bikes in advance with hand brakes; it’s negligibly more expensive versus the pedal brakes, but worth it.
This is a great tour for a traveler’s first full day in Amsterdam to get an overview of the beautiful city, and I highly recommend you book Sebastian for the experience. A great tour with Sebastian!

My father and I booked Annet for a trip on bike around Amsterdam. And it was amazing. Annet was brilliant, funny, sweet and knew a lot of facts about Amsterdam. And she was very considerate towards my father, since he is almost 80 years. We will definitely book Annet again when we return to Amsterdam.Best guide in Amsterdam

We were nervous about our Amsterdam cycling tour. Cyclists are many and seemed to own the roads. Roads are tiny and crowded. We did not know how we were going to fare.
All went well. Anna was patient and went at our pace. She was knowledgeable and stopped often to share the district we were in and a bit about what we were seeing.
I recommend Anna. Canal cycling

Anna is a very nice person, full of knowledge about Amsterdam and engaged to show her city according to our needs. So we rode to places beside the mass of tourists where we have not been before and Anna explained in very interesting ways the development of the districts, neighbourhood and the relevant historic figures. So we enjoyed it very much and can clearly recommend to explore Amsterdam outside the tourist paths per bike with Anna.Best biketour in a city

We took a bike tour with Anna on our first day on Amsterdam as a way to get a feel for the city and to see the architecture in the different zones of the city. Anna was knowledgeable and efficient with the time of the tour. It laid a great foundation to help us plan for the next few days. We would recommend a tour with Anna to anyone!Bike Tour of Amsterdam

Carolina gave us a nice tour in a city full of bikes. The day was not the perfect one because it was heavy raining all the time of the tour so that made the experience not that easy, but Carolina worried about taking us to a place to buy ponchos for the rain and made all the efforts to make the experience enjoyable. She even offered to change the date to another but the weather forecast those days was not very encouraging to change the date.
Thank you Carolina for sharing your time and experiences in Amsterdam.Rainy day for a soaking Bike tour

We thoroughly enjoyed our four person bike tour of Amsterdam with Anna! The 2.5 hour tour was a great introduction to biking in Amsterdam and a really memorable way to see the city. Anna was great at tailoring the tour to the types of sites/experiences that we were interested in and we all felt that we got to see a lot more of the city than we would have just wandering on foot. Fantastic Bike Tour

Marten hat uns auf eine kurzweilige Reise durch Amsterdam mitgenommen. Es war spannend, mit ihm durch Gassen zu radeln, wo wir selbst nicht hingekommen wären. Unsere Teenager fanden es auch super! Wir sind froh, die Tour gebucht zu haben und würden es sofort wieder tun.Kurzweilige und spannende Fahrradtour

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our 1.5-2 hour bike tour with Anna. We biked through the canal neighborhoods as well as other notable sites in Amsterdam. She gave us good recommendations for a bike trek outside of the city as well as the Straat museum of graffiti and street art. Most importantly having a private guide helped familiarize ourselves with the "rules of the road" for biking in Amsterdam . I would highly recommend Anna for her knowledge of the city as well !Fun and Informative bike tour

We really enjoyed our bike tour of Amsterdam led by Sebastian. He is an enthusiastic and knowledgeable man with great depth of knowledge into the history, architecture, and current environmental challenges of Amsterdam. He was also very conscientious in ensuring we understood how to use the bikes, that they fit properly, and that we understood the rules and regulations of biking in the city. He kept a close eye to make sure we were all following along.We would recommend this to any visitor who would like to see the city with a local and feel like a local.Amazing insight into Amsterdam

The tour was great! We just arrived the same day and were able to dive into the culture and the architecture of the city. It was our first time in Amsterdam and I would definitely do it again. Furthermore it's cool that your on bikes so that you can move quickly and still be outside in the fresh air.

Our family had a delightful bike tour through Amsterdam with Anna. Since we were first time visitors, we didn't really know what we wanted to see. Anna took us to see many of the main attractions, sharing interesting and fun history along the way. The highlight was the easy and leafy ride through Vondelpark and its beautiful surrounding neighborhoods. Anna's knowledge of the area was excellent.
Biking in the city center is not for the faint of heart but Anna took great care of us from beginning to end. We highly recommend her tour. Thank you Anna!Delightful bike tour through Amsterdam

My 2 friends and I enjoyed our bike tour with Anna. She responded promptly to my messages, and when I told her that one of us is not confident on the bike, she suggested an alternative cycling route to the North so that my friend could enjoy the tour and not be stressed with traffic. She showed us a different part of Amsterdam, very scenic and idyllic and she shared interesting information about the places that we went to. She also took great photos of us :) Don't hesitate to book Anna as your guide!Highlight of our time in Amsterdam

Anna was amazing and fully delivered on my requests! I wanted a smooth and calm bike ride tour through old Amsterdam and that's exactly what she provided. She took us through the Voldenpark so we could practice riding a tandem bike for the first time and once we felt confident enough she took us through a very charming, calm and very much Amsterdam style neighborhood (or what I have in my head of what an Amsterdam old neighborhood looks like lol), followed by some parts of the canals that weren't very busy. She took the time to tailor the tour to our needs and wants so we could fully have the experience we wanted, which was to ride bikes in Amsterdam and really feel like we had done it in Amsterdam. We loved every minute of it! We felt safe, heard and valued. It was totally worth it and we would definitely recommend Anna to everyone! She is extremely easy to work with, very fast in responding and really goes above and beyond in communicating and working with you to make sure you experience what you had envisioned. 100% tailored experienced <3

When in Amsterdam you really need to try billing around the city. It's amazing to see how bikes are treated as an equal, unlike anywhere else I have seen. And our tour with Arun started you off in the quieter East end, then as you were more comfortable with the bike transitioned into the heart of the city.
We had a great time, and Arun was a great guide. Lots of interesting history. True some deep fried cod at the Albert Cuyp market and it was the best fish I've ever had.
Totally recommend the tour and Arun. Thanks!Biking with Arun
