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.
Great experience! Our guide Rafa was fantastic!

Of you are looking to explore the Dutch countryside this tour is for you.
Breathtaking sites, exquisite cheese, break from the city

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!!
