A highlight of our trip! - We wanted to do a biking trip in Amsterdam but not in the city center. This was the perfect biking experience. We biked in the outskirts of town and also did some kayaking. It was one of the highlights of our trip to Amsterdam.

Fun and Unique Tour - While it was getting late in the season, we wanted to spend some time paddling the waters of the Netherlands countryside. This tour provided that with hours of enjoyment. We started and ended with 5.5-7 mile bike rides, with a great snack and lunch break and 3 mile kayak in between. During the course, we saw the Dutch countryside, a few cows and goats up close and personal.
Tristan was a fun tour guide and we’d highly recommend this excursion.

Peaceful, off the beaten path experience! - We loved this countryside expedition! Beautiful parts of Amsterdam, away from other tourists, that you wouldn’t otherwise see; fun and personal with a homemade lunch to boot. Couldn’t recommend more!

Exciting experience - We had an amazing experience cycling, kayaking and just chilling with our tour guide. He really succeeded in making us feel welcome and safe and he even accommodated my veganism by adjusting the lunch. Can easily recommend this to anyone looking for a fun and adventourus day in the country side.

Very nice experience - Extremely nice guide. All was prepared and we definitely enjoyed our time. Cycling and Kayaking is a nice combination. Even the way back was different from the way to kayak location what we found very nice.

A Day in the Country - This bike and kayaking guided tour with Tristan was a great opportunity to experience a bit of rural Amsterdam outside the city limits. You don’t have to go far to avoid the hustle and bustle of the city. What a relaxing day. Tristan is a great host, very personable, and looked after every detail ensuring we experienced a safe and enjoyable tour. You show up at the designated meeting location (easily located) and Tristan will take it from there ensuring a most enjoyable day. The ride, kayaking, water, lunch, and cheese tasting were all included bonuses. The real highlight is Tristan. He loves people and loves sharing this beautiful countryside and the animals he has met along the way. If you love bikes, the water, and nature, you will not want to pass on this experience. My wife and I have visited Amsterdam 3 times in the last 5 years. Today, I felt like a local just out getting a bit of exercise and enjoying the countryside.
