Great tour! We had just landed from a long international flight and it was just what we needed to stretch our legs and see all the sights in Amsterdam! Everyone rides bikes everywhere and it was fun to have a great guide to take us to all the top places to see! A big thank you yo Sebastian-he was a wonderful guide!

Really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Aaron was super friendly, could barely believe it when the two hours were over. Great experience if you like history especially that related to WW2.

We had such an amazing tour. It was lovely doing it at night and seeing Amsterdam under beautiful light. Anthony was an amazing tour guide. Would 100% recommend and would do it again.

Leonie was super nice, she gave us a tour of the city and it felt like going out with a friend :)

Very interesting tour and easier than you think on the bikes.
