    Absolute highlight of our trip so far. The bikes were comfortable to ride. Bill (and Herman) were excellent tour guides. We got to see parts of Amsterdam we would have never seen, even got to ride a ferry. With Bill’s expert help, we managed to navigate and blend with the numerous bicyclists already on the road, never felt unsafe. We learned a lot about the history of the Netherlands and the people as well. I can’t recommend this tour enough. A must do!

    Such a great tour from Westerpark. Pim was a fantastic and knowledgable tour guide and Herman was just the cutest and so well behaved. Thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the beautiful city of Amsterdam. Thank you Pim & Herman 🥰

    I’m convinced this is the best biking tour in all of Amsterdam! Pim was an excellent tour guide, he took us around a part of Amsterdam that I never would have known to visit on my own. We rode through a beautiful garden, stopped to pet some goats, learned about Tony’s Chocolate, rode on the ferry, and saw some incredible art. Of course the star of the tour was puppy Herman. He is such an adorable and well behaved boy!! I was worried about biking alongside so many other people, but Pim took us around areas that were not as busy and consistently made sure everyone was following and doing okay. My husband and I loved biking around Amsterdam with Pim and Herman!

    Literally one of the best tours we took. Pimm (aka Bill) did a fantastic job explaining some of the socio-cultural qualities of those native to Amsterdam. We learned so much about how they live, work as communities and practice tolerance. Bike routes were flat and we learned all about the bike "highways" which were clearly a part of everyday life. We loved the movement and fresh air. We had perfect weather. Plenty of stops for quick bathroom and water breaks. Loved Herman so much! My young adult kids loved seeing a dog as they were missing theirs. He was an amazing travel companion! Loved taking the bike ferry. Loved the interesting explanation of Tony's chocolate. We only saw STRAAT from outside on bike tour but thankfully had booked that tour next day. Highly recommend but you'll see why when you get the history from Pimm during the ride. A city build for the young and future generations. My family loved Amsterdam.
