Romance in Amsterdam: Most beautiful Canals & Bridges & Night
See Amsterdam from a bike wrapped in flowers.
Guided pedicab tours through the canals — quiet, eco-friendly, and dressed for the occasion. Tourists, couples, families and weddings welcome.
Three things every rider notices
We built this around what tourists in Amsterdam actually ask for: a ride that’s easy to book, easy on the planet, and easy to enjoy no matter where you’re from.
Zero-emission by design
Every tour runs on pedal power. No fuel, no engine noise — just the sound of the canals as you pass.
Instant confirmation
Book online and get your confirmation by email or SMS in minutes. No back-and-forth required.
Guides in your language
Our drivers switch between English, Dutch and more — so the stories land the way they’re meant to.
Why the flowers?
Amsterdam’s canal houses are narrow and the streets are old — a bike taxi fits where cars and buses can’t. We added the flowers because a tour of this city should feel like the city: colourful, a little playful, unmistakably Amsterdam.
Every bike is hand-decorated before each shift, and every route is picked for what you’ll actually want to photograph.
