What our customers say
My students loved it! If there is one thing to do in Amsterdam, this is it.
We did the 6 hour windmills and cheese tour to Zaanse Schans. David was our guide and he was amazing. We got to see so much country side with just the right amount of breaks to have a drink and get some photos. Highly recommend.

Willem is cool. Would recommend. Good for mind and body.

I am not that comfortable on bikes and was a bit nervous riding around Amsterdam, but thought this would be a great way to keep my sons entertained and see the city. I enjoyed it so much! Willem was a great guide. Really interesting information and not an overload of history (although the parts we learned were fascinating). The weather helped keep the roads and paths a bit quieter than usual I think which helped. I was impressed with the ability to guide bikes all over the city!
Happy Customer
Thank you for a fun and relaxing tour of Amsterdam North. We loved it. Amsterdam North is completely different from the historic part of the city, with its own unique atmosphere and architecture. David was our guide. We recommend taking this tour!
Happy Customer
Our guide Mika was great. He was fun and funny, and gave a great introduction to Amsterdam. The bicycles were clean and well maintained. My family included an 11year old girl, a 17 year old boy, and two 40 year old adults. The pace was leisurely, and easy. 100% would recommend Yellow Bike and their group tours in Amsterdam.
Happy Customer
My partner and I were lucky enough to be the only ones doing the tour on a cold but sunny day. Our guide, Joep, was a veritable font of knowledge and carefully helped us navigate around the city. Highly recommended.
Happy Customer
Our group ride for the Winter Light Art Bike Tour turned into a private tour with Willem, since we were the only two to sign up. William is a terrific guide, he started us off by giving us instruction to ride safely here in Amsterdam. He is also a wealth of knowledge on the artists, their work and local sights too. William shared information on Amsterdamβs history - which we truly appreciated. We enjoyed a nice break with gluewein on the art bench, that was created to encourage friendship among strangers. At the end of our tour, we asked William for restaurant recommendations and he didnβt disappoint! If the weather is inclement, they do offer a small assortment of cold winter gear at the front of the shop. We *highly recommend the βWinter Art Light Bike Tourβ with Yellow Bike.

My wife and I went to the 5 hour e-bike trip to Zanse Schans windmill. It was a wonderful experience. From well maintained bikes to a wonderful guide, Jan, we had some great moments exploring Amsterdam and nearby of the less explored areas. The tour which consisted of amazing scenery - from quiet villages, swampy marshlands, and touristy windmills. We enjoyed the entire experience and cannot recommend this trip highly enough for someone with enough time on their hands. The e-bike makes cycling easy even for a person who doesn't cycle much (like me!). π

Onze ervaring met Yellow Bikes was geweldig! Luca was onze gids tijdens een 2 uur durende fietstocht, ondanks het regenachtige weer bleef zij heel vrolijk en professioneel. Het was een leuke manier om de stad te verkennen, vooral voor onze twee zonen van 14 en 18 jaar oud. We raden het zeker aan!

Our family of four ( two kids aged 11 and 10) went on the 4 hour countryside bike tour and enjoyed cycling round the very flat countryside north of Amsterdam. Lots of green fields, cows, pretty villages and an old windmill. Our guide Bart was very friendly and knowledgable and gave us enough historic information about various places along the route. The cycling was very easy but fun and we had a nice short stop half way for apple pie at a small cafe in one of the villages . We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Gut organisierte Fahrradtour ins idyllische Umland von Amsterdam, unser Guide war eine total sympathische junge HollΓ€nderin, die diese Tour mit viel Engagement und SouverΓ€nitΓ€t durchgefΓΌhrt hat. Die FahrrΓ€der sind gepflegt und haben keine Schaltung, so dass alle ein gleichmΓ€Γiges Tempo radeln mΓΌssen und kΓΆnnen, was die Tour auch in einer grΓΆΓeren Gruppe angenehm beschaulich macht.

Op één groepje na zijn alle gasten βdroogβ aangekomen in het restaurant. Mijn groepje heeft helaas een fikse bui op zijn hoofd gehad. Ik vond jullie support super. Zowel in het voortraject als tijdens het event. Was echt fijn samenwerken. Enige kleine minpuntβ¦ de gids van mijn groepje wilde alleen overal stoppen (o.a. het Anne Frank Huis). Ik heb hem gevraagd of het tempo omhoog te gooien. Meer fietsen en minder stilstaan en praten. Het jammere is dat dan ook juist mijn groepje de bui op zijn hoofd heeft gekregen waardoor de feedback was dat als we minder lang gestopt waren wij ook droog aangekomen waren. Hij had ook juist de CEO & CFO in de groep en de meeste Nederlanders πΒ Dat zal je altijd zienβ¦ Linn, nogmaals ik ben super positief en boek graag nog eens een tour bij jullie.

Some interesting facts about cycling in Amsterdam
How many bicycles are there in Amsterdam?
It is estimated that Amsterdam has approximately 881,000 bicycles. This is an estimate from 2012. Every day, approximately 400,000 people cycle, making an average of 665,000 bicycle rides. – Source: https://www.fietsberaad.nl/ and https://onderzoek.amsterdam.nl/artikelen/amsterdam-als-fietsstad.
How many bicycles are removed by the municipality?
The bicycle depot removes many bicycles because they are parked incorrectly or are classified as wrecks. This is how we keep the city clean and orderly. But yes, it is annoying if you suddenly lose it because you were in a hurry or missed a sign!
The Bicycle Depot removed more than 81,000 bicycles in 2017. (source: Dutch newspaper Het Parool) You can have your bicycle delivered to your home for a fee, or pick it up at the depot itself. Quite an undertaking, to which Het Parool itself devoted an extensive article in 2023.
How many bicycles get stolen in Amsterdam?
In recent years, around 11,000 bicycles have been reported stolen per year in Amsterdam. Please note that many people do not report the theft, so we think it could easily be twice as much! Believe it or not, our rental bikes also get stolen. This is why we always recommend theft insurance for your Amsterdam bike rental.
