Great bike day - Richard was so fun and knowledgeable. He helped us navigate around Amsterdam and took us to out of the way places. We rode along the River, drove through a park and along side the canals. I highly recommend this tour

A must tour for the family - We really enjoyed both the bike tour and the optional boat tour. They give you a chance to see the city differently: from the busy streets and from the canals. The bike tour guide was excellent: he explained the sites we passed by, he was patient and really helped us to deal to the sometimes chaotic Amsterdam traffic. It was a great experience.
