Outstanding! - Wanted to see the famous windmills up close and enjoy the countryside but we didn't expect to get to go inside a working windmill to see how it works and look at how it is put together, plus get the chance to help with the sails. Marco went above and beyond. (probably helped we had a vert small group) Then to taste some home grown cheese's on the way back, just sensational. Highly recommend to anyone.

Awesome Host and Great Bike Tour - We met up with Marco at Rotterdam Centraal and then headed over to Kinderdijk by boat. Marco had a wealth of information and delivered in a friendly and approachable manner! We toured the countryside stopping at cafes, checking out the wildlife, learning first hand about windmills from locals, met cheese makers and sampled and bought wonderful cheese varieties, had ice cream, and took tons of pictures along our journey … many by Marco and his awesome iPhone photography skills. I highly recommend this tour if you want to do something personal, connect with the local people and culture, enjoy being out in the country, and love to have a guide who is friendly, knowledgeable, and super personable! We had the best time. Thank you Marco!!!

Bike Rentals - Renting a bike and doing your own tour is very simple and inexpensive. To rent a bike, head to the Tourist Info Center-walk just past the center; go down a driveway and you will see many bike to the right. Friendly courteous folks and pay with credit card, if you wish. Bike rental 8 euros a day. Also have ebikes at 20 euros. We just followed the bike route that runs along the canal. We didn't buy tour tickets since we had done that several times. I am sure you can get tickets for tours at the Tourist Info Center.

Fantastic bike tour - My husband, daughter and I went on the bike tour through Kinderdijk with Marco. He was so kind and patient. He picked us up from our hotel and we took the ferry to Kinderdijk, rented the e-bikes and proceeded to ride through the countryside. We went to this adorable little bakery and were treated with a delicious latte and coffee cake. We then took a tour of a grain windmill, which was extremely interesting, The two volunteers who ran the mill were so informative and entertaining. We then took the rest of the bike tour, which I enjoyed the most. Riding through the country, along the canals and farms and, of course, the beautiful windmills, was an experience of a lifetime! We had an amazing time and owe it all to Marco. Such an amazing experience!!

Must do tour! - We had an amazing time riding bikes through the trails seeing the local sites to include a historical and informative tour of. 3 rd generation working windmill with stones to grind flour. The scenery of the local farms with cattle and summer homes with gorgeous gardens and flowers was a true highlight. All in all a splendid bike tour with a friendly and informative guide who stopped at all the scenic locations to ensure we had wonderful photographic memories of our day. The best part was that our tour was willing to make modifications to our agenda to meet our needs. We would highly recommend this tour. Fantastic!

A wonderful experience of Kinderdijk with a local guide. - Marco was excellent. He catered to our needs and provided a great experience interacting with local people. Cafe visit tasting local cake and beer. Private tour to experience inside a working windmill which was fantastic. Lunch at another local Cafe and tour and tasting at local cheese factory. A really enjoyable and fantastic experience. All while biking through the countryside. Marco chose ebikes for us as it was very windy, thankfully. His experience and knowledge made this a great day for us. Thankyou Marco.

Great Private/Small Group Bike Tour - What a great private tour. Our guide Marco called us the day before to arrange to meet for the tour. He offered to start the tour earlier because of the warm weather. He greeted us at the water taxi dock in Rotterdam, got us on the boat and paid for the two-way fare. Marco offered to tailor the trip based upon our preference: the pace of the ride, the focus of our visit (photography, mills, scenery), etc. Upon landing we picked up our rental bikes, stopped at a local cafe for some coffee and snack (included in the tour price) and then started our bike ride. We started in the area outside of the UNESCO site, riding along the river to the two nearby towns. We rode along an uncrowded path along farm fields with cows and visited a family windmill. We were lucky enough to find the mill keeper onsite who gave a tour inside the mill and gave us some family history. Marco brought a bottle of wine, glasses, nuts, cheese and cucumber for a mid-day snack. We rode back through the towns past lovely personal gardens and stopped at a local cheese factory/shop for tasting. Finally we made our way through the UNESCO Kinderdijk site for some great views and pictures. Marco made sure to get us back to the docks in time for our trip back to Rotterdam. Marco, who lives in Kinderdijk, was a funny and friendly guy and very easy to talk to. It was a perfect day.

Great day with Marco and Kinderdike bike tour! - Had a wonderful time with Marco on a bike tour of the Kinderdijk area. Marco is very knowledgeable, kind, brought along wine and cheese and even somehow arranged for a beautiful sunny day. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend.
