One of our most favorite experiences in Amsterdam - An excellent way to get out of the city and to spend the day in the countryside! Very relaxing bike and kayak paddle experience with charming stops along the way. Our guide was fantastic!

A truly wonderful and unique experience!! - Tristan is personable and amazing and this tour is a truly wonderful and unique experience. The bike ride was beautiful and the kayaking was fun and beautiful. Along the way the windmill and church are both historic and a great stop. Tristan always made sure everyone was with us and provided all the necessary gear for the day. We would do this tour over again just to remember how beautiful it is in the waterlands near Amsterdam. We highly recommend this tour but more importantly, we highly recommend Tristan.

Amsterdam is lovely, but it might be incomplete without cycling and kayaking on the countryside. - If you like countryside, outdoors and some physical activity, this is a MUST. The views are fantastic, strolling in countryside cycling was is like living a dream and then kayaking in this beautiful village in between houses backyards, bridges and a church is just amazing!
But perhaps the best above all of this, is the guide Tristan. He was very helpful, fun, joyful and communicative. Even if you are not in much physical condition or (as our case) had never kayak before, he was caring and patience. You can see that he really enjoys what he does and this inevitable reflects in your own mood during the tour. At the end you just don´t know why you don´t feel tire but just happy for all you did!

Local gems and great guide (plus a good workout!) - This tour was easily the highlight of our trip. Tristan was incredibly well organized and took us to parts of Holland that we would never have been able to explore on our own. There was even a small bike issue that he had to fix on the fly, and he did it with no problem. We loved the stops at the windmill, petting zoo, church/village, and farm. The pace for both the bike and kayak was leisurely, but you should be prepared to bike around 13+ miles and kayak for 1.5+ hours. It ended up being a nice workout, in addition to the opportunity to explore local gems with a great local guide.

Perfect for active travelers! - Tristen gave us a great, unique experience for our first trip to the Netherlands! It turned out that my sister and I were the only ones registered for the tour that day, but he still ran the full tour. I thought was nice of him, since private tours are more expensive. A few highlights: pigs at the petting zoo, lunch at a cafe in a beautiful church originally built in 1600, fresh cold milk on the way back. Definitely worth doing if you’re active and looking for something fun!
