De Beste 🍺 🌷 🍫 🚲 ☀️ - Such a great tour from Westerpark. Pim was a fantastic and knowledgable tour guide and Herman was just the cutest and so well behaved. Thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Thank you Pim & Herman 🥰

Best bike tour in Amsterdam!! - I’m convinced this is the best biking tour in all of Amsterdam! Pim was an excellent tour guide, he took us around a part of Amsterdam that I never would have known to visit on my own. We rode through a beautiful garden, stopped to pet some goats, learned about Tony’s Chocolate, rode on the ferry, and saw some incredible art. Of course the star of the tour was puppy Herman. He is such an adorable and well behaved boy!! I was worried about biking alongside so many other people, but Pim took us around areas that were not as busy and consistently made sure everyone was following and doing okay. My husband and I loved biking around Amsterdam with Pim and Herman!

Best overall Amsterdam experience - Literally one of the best tours we took. Pimm (aka Bill) did a fantastic job explaining some of the socio-cultural qualities of those native to Amsterdam. We learned so much about how they live, work as communities and practice tolerance. Bike routes were flat and we learned all about the bike "highways" which were clearly a part of everyday life. We loved the movement and fresh air. We had perfect weather. Plenty of stops for quick bathroom and water breaks. Loved Herman so much! My young adult kids loved seeing a dog as they were missing theirs. He was an amazing travel companion! Loved taking the bike ferry. Loved the interesting explanation of Tony's chocolate. We only saw STRAAT from outside on bike tour but thankfully had booked that tour next day. Highly recommend but you'll see why when you get the history from Pimm during the ride. A city build for the young and future generations. My family loved Amsterdam.

See Amsterdam with Bill and Herman - Bill and Herman were great! Bill takes you to the parts of Amsterdam you want to see away from the tourists. My son and I definitely recommend this tour

Awesome experience - My hubby and I did this tour a couple of days ago and had a fantastic time. Pim shows you parts of Amsterdam you normally wouldn't see and explains things in an easy to understand way. His little dog Herman is an absolute delight and we all got a cuddle. Would definitely recommended doing this tour

Fantastic way to spend a few hours in Amaterdam - We had 24 hours in Amsterdam and wanted to use it well! So glad we found Bill’s tour. It was fascinating and a great way to see parts of the city we might not have gone to otherwise. Bill knows the area inside out, and is a great storyteller - we learnt so much about the city’s history! Gliding around on lovely comfortable bikes and with Herman the pup, it was glorious. Can’t recommend this enough. Thank you so much Bill!

Highlight of my time in Amsterdam - Pim (and his sweet pup Herman) was a fantastic guide on our bike tour the other day!!! I felt very safe, since we were not biking in the most crowded parts of town, and I enjoyed seeing a slice of what it’s actually like to live in Amsterdam. I learned a lot about Dutch culture and norms as well. It was also really nice that Pim was taking photos and videos throughout to send us after, so nobody felt the need to have our phones out while biking. Would definitely do this tour again, and highly recommend to anyone looking for a slightly off-the-beaten-path activity! I was traveling solo and the small group of folks on my tour were all friendly! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

10/10 - 10/10 great local bike tour. Pim (Bill) was friendly and gave us a fun and insightful tour. His little dog came along for the ride as well, which is always an added plus!

Pim and Hermaan's bike tour gets ALL the stars!! 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩 - I booked Pim's bike tour for me and my husband based on all of the Airbnb reviews. They were all very positive, but our experience exceeded my expectations. Pim is delightful, warm and loves his city. You can tell how much he enjoys sharing it with everyone. Of course, being a dog lover, having Hermaan along for the ride was a bonus! The whole experience was totally positive and I cannot recommend it highly enough! I know it will be a highlight of your trip to Amsterdam as it was for us!!
