Completely different experience of Amsterdam - David L was our guide, and he was extremely informative. He made the tour very interesting, and paced it just right as we were different age groups. The bikes were in great condition and easy to ride. The service at the shop was professional and calm, despite it being very busy. We would thoroughly recommend Yellow Bikes and we shall we back in Amsterdam next summer, and will book another tour with them.

Wonderful getting a look at the countryside - We took a small group, countryside bike tour- interesting, thoughtfully organized and geared towards the interests of the group. Our guide, Jan, introduced us to many aspects of Dutch culture, answered questions fully and handled various aspects of the tour with a sense of humour. Highly recommend!

Great way to see North Amsterdam - It was a blustery day and poured rain at times. Despite that we enjoyed the tour very much. Our guide Willem was excellent. Constant smiles and encouragement. We loved the pub stop. I would say this journey of 25 km would be a lot for children. Our 7 yr old road on a back seat and that was great. The 10 year old found it difficult on her own but made it!

Great Family Experience - This was an awesome adventure, and a great addition to our trip to Amsterdam. It was a great way to see the north side of Amsterdam, the countryside, and the small fishing villages. Our family group of seven (ranging from age 12 to 72) all enjoyed it. This was time and money well spent!

A great countryside bike tour - We took several tours during our week and a half vacation in Europe. David was by far, the best and most informative tour guide! It was great getting out of city center and experiencing a relaxing bike ride and the sights of the countryside. Bikes were in good shape as well!

Biking in the Dutch countryside - Perfect way to leave the noise of central Amsterdam for the quiet roads of the Dutch countryside. Riding the ferry with our bikes was a fun experience and visiting Ransdorp was a highlight.
