Still Fun in the Rain - There was wind, rain, hail, thunder, and sun, but our guide Michael made our biking time enjoyable. We learned about areas that would have been difficult to see had we not been able to cover the distance on bikes. I’m petite and was happy they had a bike to fit me with a comfortable seat. Biking in Amsterdam, with the need to avoid people, other bikes and cars is an adventure in itself. Michael was always looking back checking on us and ensuring we all made it across the road, walking our bikes when needed. A terrific introduction to the city.

Great tour, and Simon was a fantastic guide! - Our guide Simon was incredible—he was funny, charming, and so knowledgeable about the city! It was clear he loved showing us around and he knew something about anything the group asked. There was a regular tour route that he started with, and then he sort of just listened to what we were curious about and sculpted the tour to that. It was so much fun!!
