Everyone rides a bike in Amsterdam. Now, I must admit, I ended up in tears but that is my own phobia with riding in traffic. So for anyone that may have a problem like me, you can still enjoy bicycling in Amsterdam. The problem we had is we picked up our bikes at Centraal Station and we wanted to go... More

Don't miss the chance to cycle in the city that is made for it -- so flat, and all those cycle paths. We hired from MacBike, who have four locations around Central Amsterdam. We chose the slightly more expensive bikes with 3 years and handbrakes, but didn't worry about insurance for our 3 hour rental. If you were keeping your... More

This is an absolute must. The tour lasted about 2.5 hours and the guide was great, stopping at De Otter windmill in Amsterdam West, and other various places of interest such as Vondelpark with anecdotes-a-plenty along the way. The guide was very friendly and took care of us when crossing the busy/daunting Amsterdam roads! He even made a detour on... More

I want to give credit to this great bike rental company. We would never have seen the places we did in two day's if we hadn't rented these cool bikes to tour round on. We chose to take the extra insurance because we didn't want the stress of worrying about the bike while we enjoyed ourselves. However the double locking... More

I loved MacBike in Amsterdam. We rented the bikes in the morning and went on a personal tour for 3 hrs. The bikes are well maintained and are comfortable. At 14:00 we did the City Tour with Julien, the ozzy guide from Canberra that looks like Leonardo di Caprio :) Julien was super nice and knowledgeable of Amsterdam´s history and... More

On our last day before heading to the airport we rented bikes from MacBike at the train station. The guys there were fantastic, the bikes were great and they gave us a great map. We only had the bikes for 3 hours but as we had been to all the attractions by this stage it was loads of time to... More

I travel every summer with three friends and have found that a bike or walking tour is a great way to get a quick overview of the city before delving deeper. MacBike tour was a great experience for all of us. We were able to enjoy seeing the city on bikes with a wonderful guide, Kendra, to help us navigate... More

Beware of this place. We went there to get a bike, as the name of this shop was all over the place. As we got there, we were the only ones asking questions. We discovered that although they give you the option to pay an insurance, they tell you that if something happens to the bike, you will have to... More

You can't consider visiting Amsterdam without renting a bike at least for one day. It offers much more liberty and different views of the city. Macbike's seems to be the best deal, we took two bikes for 5 days for 87€ (insurance included). They all come with handbrakes and gears which is much easier if you're not used to classic... More
