Jen was utterly amazing. She was flexible, kind, knowledgeable, and comforting. Prior to our trip, she checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable with the light wind and after gave us directions to a bike shop. She took us out of the way, to a beach area, for us to see the cows and horses. She also brought us to a friend’s farm to take actual photos inside the fields. She checked in with us frequently to make sure we were ok with the ride, satisfied with the sights, and offered snacks / water. She was patient with my frequent photo taking. This was our most magical experience of our week long trip. It will stay with me forever!

The trip was cancelled. Most fields have been stripped. No criticism of the tour provider. Just the opposite So this ratting shouldn’t be counted

Excellent tour with Jen!! She took the time to customize the trip for us and ensured that we had a safe, comfortable route to follow as we visited the most BEAUTIFUL tulip farms imaginable. It was unreal and definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam/Alkmaar. Jen also provided delicious snacks and gave excellent lunch recommendations after the tour! 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting Amsterdam, Alkmaar or the surrounding region!!

Jen was a fantastic tour guide thru the tulip fields! She did an awesome job taking us to beautiful fields and we went up to the lookout point to see the field colors from above and the sand dunes! She also provided numerous recommendations of things to do in town and around the Netherlands! Highly recommend booking a tour with Jen!

Do not miss! The beauty of the bike ride to the tulip farms was worth it alone. The different tulip fields were amazing. And Jen was a wonderful guide. She knows a lot about the area and is very friendly and a great host. She even walked us around the town a bit after the ride to make sure we didn’t miss anything.

I found Alkmaar Tours on the internet when researching cycling around Alkmaar. From the moment of contact, the owner of Alkmaar Tours, Jennifer Rigby, was highly responsive. I emailed Jen with many questions and concerns. She was consistently timely and thorough in her responses. She went far beyond my expectations to tailor make a fabulous cycling day. As a novice rider, I found Jen to be highly organized, knowledgeable, supportive, encouraging and fun. She provided an incredibly interesting tour with a variety of sights to see. We had such a great experience we immediately booked a second day with Jen. If you are looking for a cycling tour, look no further!

My friend and I luckily found out about Alkmaar Tours when we were thinking about coming to Alkmaar to bike. We connected with the owner of Alkmaar Tours, Jennifer Rigby, and never looked back. Jen has offered a level of service second to none. She asked us questions about our interests and preferences and personally designed an itinerary to meet our needs. We found her resourceful, knowledgeable, supportive and well equipped. She provided an absolutely amazing trip. We highly recommend Alkmaar Tours.
