Historic, rural and sidecar fun experience
This is a very divers rural and historic tour. And so much more fun then a normal tour just because of the fact we do it with a sidecar.
Explore the beautiful and diverse centre of the provinces of Holland and Utrecht, which includes rivers, lakes, forests, polders, medieval castles, golden age mansions, windmills, the royal palace and pancakes while riding a sidecar.
I am Marco Hupkes, your guide. My background is: traveller, guide, outdoor-instructor, comedian, teacher of history. Allow me to show you my home country and I'm sure we will have great fun together. See you soon and have a nice day.

Greetings, Marco.

5.00We had spent three days in Amsterdam and this tour provided us a chance to see the countryside, and we were thrilled. We drove on small paved roads once out of Amsterdam into multiple villages, which were charming and past 1939 bunkers and castles. We also saw a couple of windmills up close and never ending cows and sheep. Marco stopped occasionally to give some history and he is a very gracious person. Finally, he is safe. While it is thrilling at times, he does not take foolish chances. I am not a motorcycle person, but sitting on the back seat did make me uneasy at all.
You have to do it!

5.00Great experience with Marco! Originally we were hoping to be picked up in Amsterdam but after a quick call we agreed to take the train 30 mins out. The sidecar experience is so much more memorable out in the country! Marco was filled with interesting stories and historical facts which made us appreciate the landscape even more. Don’t hesitate to book this as a very quick trip out of Amsterdam.

5.00Marco led an awesome tour! This is very different from what we usually do (first time on a motorbike) and we are so glad we did! On his bike, we were able to see so much more of the countryside and dip into cute little towns and villages, pass many castles, and windmills and farms. Marco expertly talked about history, Dutch culture, and answered our many questions about life in The Netherlands. He is a fun guy with great adventures and travel experience. This is definitely am amazing and unique tour experience that will make you wish this type of tour were available in every city! Highly recommend it to those who want to see much more of the Dutch countryside than you are able to see on a regular bike tour!
Great way yo spend the day
