5.00it was a great way to get out of the city and see some of the countryside. It was neat to see some of the small towns and know what they were all about. We enjoyed tasting the cheese and seeing how clogs were made.

5.00Rissa was an excellent tour guide. She made sure we all knew where we were going, got to comfortably ride the bikes, and had a great depth of knowledge about Amsterdam and surrounding areas. The sites were breathtaking, the cheese and clogs stop was more than I was expecting, and despite the rain, the windmill was worth the wait. This tour is a pleasant surprise out side the hustle and bustle of Amsterdam. Highly recommend!!

5.00Tours content was excellent and driver stephi and guide Diana were fantastic in booking confirmation 'tours and tickets' should put that there office is INSIDE central train station. Foreigners who do you tours have no idea what an address means. Over share info to make it less stressful for foreign tourists

5.00Wonderful way to see countryside, our guide Hu was AWESOME, gave plenty of info but didn’t over saturate us. Bikes were great, e-assist, that said you should be comfortable on a bike and in decent shape to keep up. Bring layers, can get windy, pop up rain showers too. Fun to see clog & cheese shop.

5.00This tour was great! NOTE: Be early! We almost missed the tour because we arrived at the start time. Did not know we were supposed to arrive 15 - 20 minutes early. The tour was a mix of couples, small group friends, singles and parents with college-age children. We were able to see much more countryside than I expected. We rode through the country and went through small quaint towns along the way. We did stop at a cheese/wooden shoe touristy spot. It was a bit "cheesy" (pun intended) but had to do it. Can't go to Amsterdam without getting Gouda and seeing wooden shoes. Mike, our tour guide, was filled with interesting historic facts and anecdotes. He took photos along the way which he provided to everyone at the conclusion of the tour. Everyone enjoyed it! Highly recommend this tour!
