Upon arrival in Amsterdam, our hotel was in a very busy area of the city as I was not impressed. After the tour with Bram, my view of the city totally changed. He was personable, friendly and knowledgeable. He took us to quieter parts of the city explaining g history along the way. We had a unique experience of viewing historical photos taken by his ancestors and comparing them to present day. We enjoyed it so much we stayed on the tour for an extra hour. I highly recommend this tour.

We loved everything about our experience and our guide Bram was fantastic. We loved seeing the changes over the years of Amsterdam and the photo album of pictures he used was a great way of showing them to us. We also enjoyed the stops we made along the way. We went by Ann Frank’s house which I was looking forward to among other places.

Our Pedicab tour was interesting, informative, and fun. Bram deHaan not only showed us around Amsterdam, but told us great stories and history about the different sites. Using a binder of colorful maps and pictures, he explained how Amsterdam has changed over the centuries. We are recommending this Pedicab tour to all of our friends!

We so thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Amsterdam. Our operator Bram was the best. Polite, punctual and just all-around nice person. He taught us a great deal of Amsterdam history throughout the tour. He included an enormous amount of information during our ride. He was clear, articulate and precise. The entire time with him had a nice flow. A huge barrel of information. In addition he directed us to the closest grocer to our hotel and dropped us off there with directions back to our hotel. This was a fabulous 2 hours and well worth the time and money.
Aloha and mahalo Bram for making our first visit/ day in Amsterdam fabulous and delightful.

This was a great way to get around the city in three hours. Bram was a very nice & knowledgeable guide and allowed us to extend our two-hour tour, and we got to see so much of the city that we never would’ve seen otherwise. We saw the Jewish quarter, Chinatown, the Holocaust Memorial, lots and lots of neighborhoods with so much beautiful architecture, a large park, and my favorite part was driving through the museum! Loved how Bram shared personal stories and lots of photos so we could compare old & new Amsterdam. We only got out of the pedicab a few of times for photos and to see the memorial, which was fine with us because we were pretty tired from traveling. Highly recommend.
