Holland Bikes invites guests to experience New York City from a fresh perspective on comfortable Dutch bicycles. Led by passionate local guides, their small-group and private tours pair iconic sights—from Central Park and Times Sq...
Cycling through New York with guides like Michael, Anne, and Eric seems to be the real draw here. Reviewers consistently praise their knowledge, relaxed style, and genuine interest in the people on their tours. The routes through Lower Manhattan, Brooklyn, Chinatown, the 9/11 Memorial, and along the Hudson River feel well thought out, with plenty of stops and some great viewpoints along the way. The bikes themselves get solid mentions too, with comfortable Dutch Gazelle-style cycles and the option to upgrade to e-bikes if you prefer. That said, most riders note that the standard bikes handle the routes just fine. A private tour is possible if you happen to book during a quieter period, which some guests found to be a real bonus. Overall, this looks like a genuinely enjoyable way to connect with the city rather than just pass through it.
We had a fantastic tour guided by Stefan. Unless it was very hot in NY, the tour was great fun. Stefan guided us easy and safely through the inner city. 2.5hour with many impressions, lots of information, stopped always in the shade, let us take pictures whenever we wanted, showed the best photo spots and answered every question we had. Stefan is very experienced and really loves New York. His excitement was inspiring to us. At the end of the tour he gave us many great hints what the best places and activities are for our family in the coming festivity weekend. A unforgettable experience. Thanks a lot Stefan.
