The tour was not as advertised as it did not include the stops listed in the itinerary. Although very pleasant, I would have chosen a different tour which matched my expectations.

Fantastic tour. Our guide was a lovely man named Simon. He may be a Brit, but he’s lived in Amsterdam for many years. He made the entire tour fun and interesting. Would definitely do this again on another trip to AMS. Thank you Simon for the great day. John M. Maine USA

We had Gus as our tour guide on our first day in Amsterdam and it was fantastic! An amazing way to see the countryside and get out of the city. Information on the tour was great and the cheese & clogs stop was fun. Make sure to bring an extra bag for anything you buy to take back on the bike to the city!

From beginning to end this 4 hour ride through the Amsterdam countryside was magical! Our guide, Gus, was very knowledgeable of the country’s history, was kind, funny and extremely accommodating. The views were magnificent, the cheese and clog stop was amazing and delicious. This was our favorite activity from our week in Amsterdam. I highly recommend!!

This was a beautiful tour of the Amsterdam countryside with a native of Amsterdam as our very informative guide. Using the e-bike made the day more enjoyable due to our older age. The trip definitely changed my opinion of Amsterdam since I find the city itself dirty and way too crowded. Their new location is very close to the port for cruise ships and we had sufficient time to get back onboard.
