Great tour before a cruise
Christa was wonderful! The tour was exactly what we wanted the day before our cruise. Great way to see the best of Amsterdam!

Amazing experience
Sebastian was amazing and very friendly. We have had a wonderful time even though we were not experts with cycling. He has even provided us with recommendations to try through our trip. Enjoying the city vibes on a bike is totally worth it. Totally recommend this experience.

Amsterdam’s Jewels
Amsterdam is a jewel not to be missed! Our guide Ann walked our foursome through the hidden paths of history, through beautiful canals, cathedrals, delicious chocolate, cafes and restaurants. Ann is a very engaging guide and we truly enjoyed our hours with her in Amsterdam.

Unfortunate racism by the guide
I waited two weeks to give With Locals a chance to address our guide Helena’s blatant racism but looks like she is still a guide advertised on their website so their values clearly align with hers. Less than an hour into our tour (me and my friend, both of us white-presenting North American female doctors) during our stop at the historic post office she (in NO relation to the history of the post office) made statements such as “the muslims invading our country are threatening the gay community” and likened it to “blacks in America being disproportionately incarcerated because they’re criminals”. It was unsolicited, unrelated to our tour and completely unhinged. She saw that such blatant racism rattled me, locked eyes with me and doubled down with vitriol when I asked her to repeat herself, thinking I must have misunderstood. Not even an apology for overstepping as a tour guide. I ended the tour right there. With Locals refunded my money immediately though it was impossible to use their website to communicate with the company so I finally tracked them down on IG DM. They still employee her. Make your choices accordingly.
Response from the operator: Dear Valerie, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. We're truly sorry to hear about the unacceptable comments made by your host during your Amsterdam tour. What you described is completely at odds with what Withlocals stands for: respect, inclusion, and genuine human connection. Following an internal review, we've taken decisive action and permanently removed this host from our platform. We have a zero-tolerance policy toward racism or discrimination of any kind, and we remain fully committed to ensuring our community is a safe and welcoming space for everyone. We genuinely appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us stay true to our values. We'd love the chance to welcome you again in the future and show you the kind of experiences that truly represent Withlocals. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us directly at support@withlocals.com when planning your next trip. We'll make sure it's a memorable one for all the right reasons. Kind regards, The Withlocals Team

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Amsterdam.
How much does Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot cost?
+
Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Amsterdam usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Amsterdam is not rushed.
Is Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 167 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Amsterdam, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot?
+
Around 58 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Amsterdam can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Amsterdam and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Amsterdam Private Tour: Highlights & Hidden Gems by Bike or Foot start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Amsterdam within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Amsterdam?
+
On Outty we rank every Amsterdam experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Amsterdam Canal Cruise with Local Guide and Small Group, Guided Bike Tour of Amsterdam's Highlights & Hidden Gems, Amsterdam: Luxury Canal Cruise including Cocktails & Snacks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Amsterdam?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Amsterdam?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
