Ruben was an excellent guide! He was both knowledgeable and excited about the city history. He waited anytime someone got stuck behind because of a red light. When a chain fell off one of the bikes and one bike got a flat tire, he quickly addressed both situations. The bikes were very comfortable and I didn’t have any issues with mine. It was a beautiful day in a beautiful city for a great ride.

Makes sense if you're visiting Amsterdam for the first time. Afterwards you will know how to get around the city by bike

I would have expected more guidance from/to attractions. This was more of a bike ride around the outskirts of the city. The boat ride that was purchased started long after the bike ride ended (1.5h later), which made the whole activity take much longer than expected. In addition, it got dark before the boat trip started and we couldn't see as much of the canal trip as we had hoped.

Overall tour was good. This is my second time doing a bike tour in Amsterdam (different company). Stated 2.5 hours but we only did 2. I would suggest a stop along the way for a bathroom break or snack (likely the park). The tour company was punctual and very friendly. We also did the countryside tour with them.

Very good tour. The group was small, so the guide (I don't remember his name, but he was an artist and half from the Netherlands and half from Spain) was able to teach us in a personalized way how to use the fixed gear bikes and was always concerned about us. You get a beautiful view of Amsterdam as the locals do, accompanied by the guide's useful and precise comments. 100% recommended the tour.
