Great E bike trip. - We had a great trip. The E bikes were fantastic and the countryside was beautiful. I am glad we were not in the city! Our route was easy to manage. The cheese and clog making was a little touristy but otherwise a great tour and great guide.

Great experience round the countryside - I did the city tour on bike the day before but having done this country side tour on the following day on E-bike, I prefer the latter. It is not so stressful riding in the country side and the view is more serene. Our guide David B was also excellent and make the ride so much more enjoyable.

Fun riding through the countryside!! - Fantastic experience riding quality bikes through the countryside. We only saw one windmill and the cheese shop was a little hokey but the beauty of the landscape made up for it. Make sure you eat beforehand because there is no lunch stop. May be better in the future if the company allows guests to spend an hour or so in Monksdam vs the cheese shop.

Great Experience - Our guide Ann was great, really enjoyed seeing the countryside of Amsterdam. Windmills, cute country towns, cheese and clogs were fun to experience. One suggestion would be to tell bikers to pack extra water and snacks, it was a hot day and snacks would have been good to have on hand.

Great experience - e-bikes, windmills, canals, cheese, clogs! - Awesome experience - for a family of four with older kids of 12 and 14, the e-bikes were a total win. Our guide was an expat Brit that had great stories and sense of humour, with excellent local knowledge having lived in Amsterdam for decades. Highly recommend this activity to see some of the beautiful surrounding countryside.

Amazing experience, MUST CHECK OUT!!!! - This tour was SO amazing. 10/10 recommend!!!!! I was nervous seeing the height requirement (I am just barely 5’1”) I had NO ISSUES at all with the bike. I was able to reach the pedals with ease. We took the 22 mile countryside e bike tour. This mileage was very easy with the electric bikes, so do not let the number scare you. You can adjust the power on the bike to help you ranging from a little help to a lot of help. I went with my parents and sister and this was the most amazing way to explore the countryside and other parts of this beautiful country. The small villages you visit along the countryside are so cute and a must see!! Our guide, Constancza, was very interactive with the entire group and ensured everyone was comfortable and safe the entire trip. She goes over safety protocols, and was very alert about everything while on our ride. If you are visiting Amsterdam and are looking for an idea of what to do, I would 10000000% check this tour out, you won’t be disappointed. If you do go, just make sure you bring a rain coat just to be safe. They have bags attached to the bikes you can put your jackets in. My dad even brought a small backpack and put that into the storage compartment.
