Additional Information

Embarking on a pedicab tour offers a distinct and efficient way to view numerous attractions in a brief timeframe. Within a few hours, we can traverse expanses that would otherwise demand several days on foot. However, this doesn’t mean we’ll hasten past various landmarks. We will take ample breaks, and I am thrilled to dive deep into subjects that have had a crucial influence on the city’s past, as well as issues that are pertinent today. My tours center on Amsterdam’s history, recounting its tales from inception, across the ages, to the present day. Not only will I discuss visible landmarks, but I will also touch on vanished sites that have had a significant impact on the city’s history, such as certain areas of the Jewish neighborhood. Being born and raised here, I can also recount the transformations I have personally seen over the past 40 years and offer a broader perspective. If you have particular tour preferences or wish to extend it, feel free to inform me.

Amazing Tour!!! - Our guide gave us a wonderful tour of the city highlighting all of the historic elements and describing them beautifully, very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour as an introduction to the city or if you only have a short time there. We would definitely do it again and recommend to our friends.

Best Tour Ever - Our Pedicab tour was interesting, informative, and fun. Bram deHaan not only showed us around Amsterdam, but told us great stories and history about the different sites. Using a binder of colorful maps and pictures, he explained how Amsterdam has changed over the centuries. We are recommending this Pedicab tour to all of our friends!

Fun and informative - We so thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Amsterdam. Our operator Bram was the best. Polite, punctual and just all-around nice person. He taught us a great deal of Amsterdam history throughout the tour. He included an enormous amount of information during our ride. He was clear, articulate and precise. The entire time with him had a nice flow. A huge barrel of information. In addition he directed us to the closest grocer to our hotel and dropped us off there with directions back to our hotel. This was a fabulous 2 hours and well worth the time and money. Aloha and mahalo Bram for making our first visit/ day in Amsterdam fabulous and delightful.

Fun way to see & learn a lot about Amsterdam - This was a great way to get around the city in three hours. Bram was a very nice & knowledgeable guide and allowed us to extend our two-hour tour, and we got to see so much of the city that we never would’ve seen otherwise. We saw the Jewish quarter, Chinatown, the Holocaust Memorial, lots and lots of neighborhoods with so much beautiful architecture, a large park, and my favorite part was driving through the museum! Loved how Bram shared personal stories and lots of photos so we could compare old & new Amsterdam. We only got out of the pedicab a few of times for photos and to see the memorial, which was fine with us because we were pretty tired from traveling. Highly recommend.

Great personal tour - Fantastic way to see Amsterdam, we saw things that only Bram could have show us. He had a passion and some personal stories that we would have never seen on any other tour. We loved doing this and we highly recommend.

Brilliant fantastic well organised tour. Highly recommend when you're in Amsterdam - I would like to give a shout out to Bram, who took my elderly parents on a two hour bike ride around Amsterdam. What an experience they had, both said it was one of the best days of their lives, and Bram was absolutely beautiful accommodating, and very knowledgeable of Amsterdam ,my 80-year-old mother said she learnt more about Amsterdam in two hours from Bram then she would've ever experienced reading in books or watching documentaries. Thank you Bram for looking after my family so well very much appreciate it. only regret was i didn't book a longer tour for them.

Best pedicab tour to see Amsterdam - Bram was an excellent host and guide! He picked us from our hotel and showed us many beautiful parts of the Canal ring, the neighborhoods and historic monuments. At every stage he provided detailed history of the beginnings of the city of Amsterdam all the way to the occupation by Hitler’s army. He shared photographs and maps showing how the city had evolved. This tour by Bram was by far one of the best experience for us in Amsterdam and there was no way we could have seen and learnt so much without our exceptional driver/guide. Highly recommend this tour!

Fun Tour in a Cute Blue Pedicab - This was a fun, exciting, and comfortable way to see the streets and sights of city centre of Amsterdam! We did this tour on a cold and breezy morning in December, and Bram had already warned us to dress warmly for this 2-hour tour. When he arrived at our hotel to pick us up (10 minutes early I may add!), he provided both of us with blankets so we can be extra warm. He took us to see Dam Square, the old Chinatown area, Niewmarket, the 3 main canals and the famous bridges, the Jewish quarter, area near central station, Rembrandt’s house, museum square, and the Jordaan district. At each area he made a stop and told us about the history, and he showed us pictures of the past and present, which made this tour ever more insightful. Bram was born and bred and Amsterdam, so he added a special touch to our tour by providing his perspective of how the city looked while he was growing up compared to now, and how and why the area evolved over the years. He even gave us stories of his personal connections to certain historical buildings along the canals. The pedicab itself is very comfortable (perfect for 2), and it’s easy to get on and off. Bram always gave us ample time to take pictures and videos. I highly recommend this tour to a couple who want to experience the sights without too much walking and who want to avoid crowds. It’s definitely worth the price!
