Went on this bike tour with a friend while in the city. I enjoyed the bike ride, and our guide. I forgot his name already, but he is tan, blonde, blue eyed, nice guy. Only things I'd approve is: - let us know what canals we are at... and which districts when we are biking around so we can get... More

Thanks to Mike's Bikes for a thoroughly enjoyable four hour Countryside tour. Our guide was Pete who, like all the staff, was exceptionally friendly and did his best to make us laugh throughout while also giving us some interesting Amsterdam stories. We certainly know the place much better now. Physically, the cycling is really easy. Mentally, a little more difficult... More

Bicycling and Amsterdam are intertwined like fire and heat. You absolutely cannot get an authentic Amsterdam experience without biking through it. In America, cars are on the top of the totem pole with regards to road dominance. In Amsterdam, they're last (after bikes, pedestrians, and trams, respectively). Having said that, I can't think of a better way to spend four... More

Did the city tour the day we arrived and loved it. Gave us a great idea of where things are and where to go. The tour guide was great. The best part is the deal you get on the bikes if you want to keep them longer. Best price in the city. We planned for an extra day, but it... More

if this tour is not on your Amsterdam itinerary, about time you put it! pete (our guide) is a great guy and knows the city very well. He takes good care of the group by ensuring everyone is together and coming to rescue whenever you are in trouble. The tour starts with dos and donts of riding bicycle in the... More

I went on the 4 hour country tour. The tour guides had approximately 10 bikers in separate groups, so it was manageable. The bikes are in good shape. The guides stopped and provided interesting information at different points in the tour. Visited a cheese/wooden shoe farm. Stayed too long. Bike shop probably has agreement with farm. This could be reduced.... More

5 of us did the city tour, it was great. Very informative, the guide was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. We passed through most of the major tourist areas and really got our bearings of the city as well as lots of interesting facts. Only negative for us was the lengthy half hour history talk... More

We decided to be brave and bike while in Amsterdam. We didn't want a bike tour; we just wanted to ride to places like Vondel Park. We are so happy that we found Mike's. Mike's is not easy to find as it is on a side street, Kerkstraat (we more or less stumbled upon the place), but finding the shop... More

This was our 3rd visit to Amsterdam & we wanted something a little different to the usual walking or coach tours. We'd seen online videos of the tour & thought we'd like to give it a go even though we're both approaching retirement age. At first my wife was a liittle anxious, having never cycled in a city before. She... More

Mike in our review is a lady by the way, not the owner , a blonde with aviator glasses and yellow clogs with a pink pilots helmet. Good start ! She was our tour guide, great fun and a real enthusiast for Amsterdam. Really enjoyed the whole tour, we took the countryside tour and got a really good idea of... More
