Phoebe was an outstanding... - Phoebe was an outstanding guide. We went on a beautiful path in the countryside, met an interesting couple who live in a windmill, and took us to a village ( very touristy) for lunch. She went at a good pace and pointed out many historical facts along the way. Would HIGHLY recommend this trip!!!

The BEST guide!!! Corbin rocks! - The Amsterdames tour was fantastic! I grew up guiding folks in the USA so I typically criticize tours that aren’t well put together/thought out, this was the complete opposite, it was the BEST of all my tours that I did while in Amsterdam. Corbin was my guide and he spoke fluent English, involved everyone throughout the bike ride and made the experience personal with his own information that he clearly has gained through many years of experience. The first windmill that we stopped at, Corbin was telling us stories and then out of the windmill came Marcelle, the miller himself. He came and gave us a FULL demonstration including taking down the sails, furling them and then also climbing one of the blades. All in all, I was thrilled with the tour from beginning to end, the guides and interactions were world class.

A beautiful way to see the countryside - A beautiful way to see the country side. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Petra (our guide). Riding on the electric bikes was easy. I definitely recommend this tour to those that like being outdoors & getting away from the crowds in Amsterdam.

Fun day! - This was a great day. Bikes are super easy to operate. Doesn’t take much effort to ride 30 miles, take it from a 60 year old woman who works in an office and never exercises. Would definitely recommend.
