Great family activity - Tristan was a lovely guide and punctual guide with well loved after bicycles! The tour worked well for our whole family with kids aged 11 and up. Kayaking gave a different perspective on the canals and countryside. The beautiful church we stopped at for a break was a gem with a wonderful cafe especially for the cakes! The fresh milk stop at the dairy farm was a fun bonus! Overall excellent value for money and a great day out!

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!

Not quite what we expected - A beautiful, relaxing, slow-paced experience away from the big city. We really enjoyed biking and rowing and Tristan was very friendly and welcoming. The tour wasn't really what we expected, though. For example, Tristan is a great guide, but this is not a narrated tour with lots of stories or history or anecdotes. Also, although the description implies the inclusion of a lunch or a cheese tasting, those were not offered. We were given the opportunity to buy ourselves a lunch at a supermarket.
