If you like biking, seeing the city and hear some nice facts this is a great tour. Unfortunately my original tour didn't have enough people, but Maria definitely tried (and succeeded) to get me on another tour that same day. Sparky was a great tour guide and knew all about the city and the sights. She also made sure nobody got lost. All in all I would recommend going on this tour.

From start to finish an A* experience. Bikes and helmets patiently fitted, a panier provided for my stuff. It was easy riding (e bikes were also available) with stops for explanations from our a using Dutch guide. A brilliant way to see the city.

I highly recommend Escape Bicycle Tours. It was my first time taking a bike tour around the city, and I quite liked it. It was fun and interesting. We visited many city attractions and famous places on comfortable bikes and at comfortable speed. Our guide, Hans, told us many interesting and fun facts about the city, and his gentle sense of humor and attention to every excursion member made my bike tour experience even greater. I've already told my friends that they definitely need to do the same when they are in the city.
