Right from the start we were very impressed with the response to our request. We were looking for a private 5 hour bike and Rijks museum tour with transportation from our cruise ship which was docked in Ijmuiden. Everything went smooth and easy. The bike tour was lot of fun. We stopped for waffles and coffee and saw all the important highlights. Then we had a quick but amazing tour of the Rijks Museum. Our guide Michael was fantastic, fun and extremely knowledgable on the art and the history of Amsterdam. The only thing is that we wish we had more time. Thanks for a wonderful tour Michael and Kathrine for organizing everything!

Our group of 8 people just returned from a northern Europe holiday, which included several days in Amsterdam prior to a Baltic cruise. We were fortunate to have Bespoke Amsterdam Experiences make all of our tour and transportation arrangements for us. They planned 3 days of various types of tours, including a bicycle tour, private VIP canal boat tour (with happy hour), a half day trip to Zaanse Schans windmills, Anne Frank House, and a tour of The Hague. We all really enjoyed each tour. Everything was completely personalized for our group. The guides, Jeroen, Guido and Kaleigh were the real highlight of each individual excursion. They were all knowledgable, informative and fun! We hope to return to Amsterdam again and will definitely book future plans through Bespoke Amsterdam Experiences.

Layover Bike Tour My friends and I had a 9-hour layover in Amsterdam. Rather than staying at the airport, we booked a private bike tour of the city. It was a wonderful experience. We loved seeing all the different neighborhoods and trying some of the local foods. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Amsterdam on Two Wheels The bike tour of Amsterdam was the absolute highlight of our trip! Our guide, Carolina, was a wonderful person first of all, but also an amazing guide for this city that is so full of history and culture. We had a 3 hour tour and it allowed us to see the entire city in a big loop. She showed us all the things we wanted to see, added in local tidbits and flavor as well. Most important she continually checked in with us to see if we were covering what we wanted to see and she was very flexible when it came to taking a detour, a water break (it was unusually hot that day), or even walking us after the tour toward the museum quarter. I would highly recommend Carolina as a tour guide and Experience Amsterdam as well. If you’re a little trepidatious about riding a bike around Amsterdam’s crazy busy streets, don’t worry, we were nervous too! But Carolina did a great job giving us an overview and tips and then leading and guiding us through what can be a maze of bike paths, pedestrian traffic, and public transport all whizzing by. You should make sure everyone in your party is in fair shape and can ride a long distance and up and over some small hills. I’m sure they can customize a tour if you wanted to do something less strenuous, but I felt like it was fun, informative, and we got a bit of a workout too! So what are you waiting for? Book your trip today…you’ll not regret it…and ask for Carolina as she is warm and genuine (she also speaks Spanish)!

Excellent bike tour of Amsterdam! I took Stephan's bike tour with my 12 year old daughter, and we had a fantastic time. Stephan was really knowledgable in explaining a lot of historical and cultural elements of Amsterdam along the way for us. We didn't bike too much on streets with busy traffic, so we never felt like we were in danger's path at any time. It was a pretty easy ride with a good amount of stops along the way as Stephan explained things to us. At the end, he treated our whole group to coffee/tea where we got to chat and enjoy each other's company, which was really nice! I would highly recommend this bike tour!

Memorable bike tour with Stephan Stephan's bike tour is a unique experience. The fun of riding a bicycle combined with Stephan's enthusiasm and storytelling made this a memorable experience for me. I could visit some parts of Amsterdam which I surely would have missed otherwise. Hope to return someday!

Best Bike Tour ever Stop looking any further for a bike tour. I’ve taken three bike tours in Amsterdam before and all the others pale in comparison with this tour. Our tour guide Stephan manages to get everything with a good mood with his enthusiasm. He is really passionate about what he is doing and it pays off. Best bike tour ever.

A must do in Amsterdam! Stephan is the best. We had an absolute smashing time on this bike tour with him. It was the right amount of activity, and such a fun way to see lots of nooks & crannies of the city that you wouldn't normally see. Would recommend 100%

Excellent bike experience in Amsterdam Stephan’s bike tour was an excellent experience. I was a solo traveler and it was a great opportunity to meet the other folks on the bike tour. Stephan guided us to locations and places around and outside the city that I would not have explored biking on my own. Excellent communication, history, personal stories, and he kept an eye on the weather. Highly recommend booking.

AWESOME! Our family experienced both a bicycle tour of Amsterdam with Stephan and a trip to the Unesco Heritage site of Windmills and a neighboring town of Edam (GREAT cheese!) with Christa. Our kids are 10 and 12, and all 4 of us had a blast in both adventures! Christa is extremely knowledgable of the local history, took us to the top of a windmill, had us sample local coffee, chocolate and cheese, while really making it all interesting for the adults and tweens. Both she and Stephan know their audience and know how to make a fantastic tour! Worth every penny. A wonderful way to 'see' unique parts of Holland from a local point of view. Thank you Amsterdam Experiences!

Fun bicycle tour! Stephan was a fantastic guide...he made sure we were all comfortable on our cycles, showed us around places that we would have never otherwise visited and had lots of interesting stories to share along the way.. totally recommend his tour, we had a great time! PS: he also took us to a really cool micro brewery for some beers at the end of the trip, this was a lot of fun where we all got to know each other and spend the evening tasting some great brewed beers! Thank you Stephan!

Awesome Bike Tour! The bike tour was a lot of fun! We were shown beautiful parts of the city that we probably never would have found on our own. There were tons of fun facts about the areas that Stephan was able to share. The brewery we ended at had great options for food and beverages and was a perfect ending to the tour that allowed us to get to know our group a little better! Stephan was a wonderful guide and it was a pleasure to have him show us some hidden gems of the city.

Custom Amsterdam walking tour was fabulous! We had a wonderful walking tour of Amsterdam with Martin. We were all over the city! Most of it walking, but some by tram. He was delightful, very knowledgeable about the city and its' history; we learned so much! He also listened to what we wanted to see and customized our tour to hit many places we had not already been. Highly recommend this highly personalized tour and tour company. If we had another day in Amsterdam, we would have booked his bicycle tour!
