3.2-Hour Sightseeing Tour by Rickshaw

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 81 reviews · 2 hours

Ride through central Amsterdam in a private bike-taxi for two, with pickup at your hotel, cruise terminal, museum, or another central address. Guide Jan is known for tailoring the route, adding back streets, photo stops, and practical history. A rain cover is provided, but the ride is not suitable for back problems.

“We loved our tour! We got to see so much more than we would have walking and many things that we never would have found on our own. Jan was a great guide who was able to tell us about everything we were seeing, and answer all of our questions. We could not have had a better guide or tour.”

4.2 hours Amsterdam City Tour in Pedicab

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 39 reviews · 2 hours (approx.)

Ride through Amsterdam in a private pedicab for two hours with guides such as Alfonso, Alonso, Guido, Marco, Christian, or Antonio. Expect canal views, narrow lanes, Museumplein, Vondelpark, the Anne Frank House, Jordaan, and Dam Square, with pickup offered and stops for photos.

“What a tour, filled with wealth of historical knowledge, attentively listening to my preferences, and taking me to the scenic and historic spots. Every stop was special. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing the history of Amsterdam and our travels around the world, both old and new architecture, and the ever-changing face of the city. The tour time flew by, and before I knew it, we had to part ways. Alfonso's son is exuberant and a delight. I hope to you again; it was a pleasure sharing your company for the tour. To those reading this, I highly recommend booking the Pedicab tour with Alfonso's son and being treated like a queen.…”
