Unique tour — highly recommend - This was a very fun experience with a knowledgeable guide, Ashton. We had done a walking and a canal cruise but this showed us places and gave us information that was completely new and unique. I would highly recommend adding this to your itinerary.

Mike's bikes always deliver - We went on a Mike's bikes tour a few years ago with our kids and we had such a great time that we wanted to book another tour. My husband and I did the hidden gems tour this time and in spite of the rain, rain, rain, it was great. Our tour guide was charming, knowledgeable and interesting and the group was fun. A great way to see the city.

Alternative view of the city - Took a fantastic evening tour with Stephan and Mark around the West and the North of the city. Heard a lot of stories and saw some very cool street art. Thanks for a great tour.

Off the beaten track tour, full of surprises: impressive! - What a (in many ways) surprising tour ; smooth check-in , personal assistance with adjusting the bike which was very comfortable, group not too big, and then the tour itself…. Amazing to discover so many beautiful and interesting places in just a few hours. From modern street-art to an old ship wharf surrounded by artistic energy, from an old working class neighborhood to an upcoming and buzzing new area in the northern part (by ferryboat) and also along some old historical places as well. The whole package with some nice surprises by Mark, our tour leader who kept us safe an shared loads of relevant info during the tour. Highly recommend this tour if you want something off the beaten track!

amazing tour in Amsterdam - Mark's bike tour in Amsterdam was an incredible experience. He took us to lesser-known places like the NDSM area, revealing the city's hidden side. I highly recommend Mark's tour to discover the hidden side of Amsterdam. Don't miss the chance to explore with him as your guide – it's an unforgettable adventure. And the graffiti workshop was amazing :-)

Highly Recommend! - This was an amazing tour and we would highly recommend it. We were lucky to have an awesome tour guide… Mark? He was super knowledgeable and a native of the area so it brought authenticity to the tour. Felt safe riding with him as well. We really biked, so this is not a leisurely stroll. But we did see A LOT of hidden gems and was well worth the time and $. He brought a super cool surprise that I won’t share because I don’t want to ruin it for you. Was one of the best things we did during our two weeks in Europe. Highly recommend.

Great guide! - Our guide, Simon, was great. He rode at a pace that was suitable for a group. Our tour had some inexperienced bike riders, so that definitely slowed us down, but Simon was accommodating. The ride went through Amsterdam's busy rush hour. Not knowing how to navigate the city roads felt a little dangerous and our group got split apart at lights sometimes, but Simon always waited for everyone. The scenery was lovely, and Simon presented a great wealth of information along the way. He pointed out several interesting spots and we stopped probably 10 times for him to share information. We visited a cheese maker/clog maker farm. The man there made a homophobic comment and also racist comments. This was the disappointing part of the tour. Everything else was absolutely wonderful! I would have given this a 5 star review but the homophobic and racist comments from the cheese maker really bothered us.
