Cycle tours are great - It was a rainy grey morning but as soon as we jumped on the bikes the sun appeared for the beautiful north of Amsterdam…our guide was a saint and handled a few mishaps enroute with ease ( wife’s bikes motor gave up and she was towed for a quarter of the journey because the chain would not engage… a couple of falls from people who misjudged cycling with making a film) don’t let the incidents put you off… it was an easy ride and what can wrong on a bike can easily be fixed by jumping back on!

Fun ride through countryside - This bike tour was amazing.i was concerned because i have not rode a bike in over 15 years and it was not an issue because it’s a light weight electric bike. The experience to get out of the city and ride through country side was so relaxing Our guide HUW was so chill and kind. We got to visit an old windmill ,clog and cheese farm. It was a fun day and again thanks for Huw (Hugh). Also visited a fishing village

Breeze through the countryside and nom on cheese! - Wonderful experience. The bikes are electric assistant which makes it pleasant. Our guide Anne was very sweet, helpful and knowledgeable. Our stops were awesome, particularly the cheese and clogs farm where you can sample a dozen types of cheeses and learn about clog making with a demonstration. Very great tour!

Nice bike tour. Christian, our guide, was very good. - I was probably not an experienced enough biker for this trip, as I did fall a couple of times, but it was nevertheless a fun experience. Some of the lanes were a bit narrow. We went on a ferry to the countryside and rode along paved bike paths, making several stops, which were always welcome. Felt a little rushed as I would have liked to more leisurely enjoy the scenery. It would have been nice if a bottle of water were included - none of our group thought to bring one and 40k is a pretty long ride. Christian was a great guide, but it might have been nice to have someone with the company ‘holding up the rear’. Christian recruited one of the bikers to do this, but that’s a big responsibility for a group of riders.
