Wonderful day ! - Brilliant experience! I was a little nervous as I am not an experienced cyclist and have never used an electric bike before but Phoebe was such a professional guide . I felt really safe riding behind her and we had the best day ever , really enhanced my trip to Amsterdam.

E-bike windmill day - We are seniors and I was worried it would be too much for me. It was my first and only time on an e-bike. Returning home, my husband asked, “what was the most memorable thing?” It was the day I thought I couldn’t handle. The e-bike tour. It was a fun filled day. As long as you have experience riding a bike, it is doable. The ride across on the ferry, the explanations, tour of the windmills was fantastic. Nick, our guide, was super knowledgeable and ensured we were all together. Next time in Amsterdam, I’m definitely spending another day biking past the windmills.

Fun bike ride! - This was a fun tour and we had a great guide Corbin. Plenty of stops along the way to learn about the countryside and it’s history. Corbin. kept us all together, and I felt very safe riding a short distance through the streets of Amsterdam to get to a ferry. Then, after the ferry ride out into the countryside! It was a great day and thank you Corbin for your guidance.

Best Activity in Amsterdam! - This was the most amazing activity we have done in Amsterdam. Our tour guide kept us safe and took us 25 miles through the most beautiful land I have ever seen. My 12 year old loved it. We also met great people on our tour and the bikes were very new and well maintained. We felt safe and had the BEST time. Would 100 percent recommend this activity.

great ebike tour or the countryside - this was a really lovely tour. the guide, gabriel, was friendly and knowledgeable. the ride out is through gorgeous countryside with stops on the way to learn about windmills and amsterdam history. zaanse schas was cute if obviously for tourists. i wouldn't have minded a few more minutes there to explore. we took a different route back to the city to see more sights. the whole thing was a breeze on ebikes.

Best tour ever!! - Best tour I’ve ever taken…and I’ve done many throughout Europe!! Kendra…our guide was an American but us now Dutch. She was knowledgeable about the history of The Netherlands, the politics, economics of living here, real estate of Amsterdam and social environment. The bike ride was relaxed with the E-bikes and we stopped many times to talk about what we were seeing. Great pace. I highly recommend!!! Seeing a working windmill was the highlight of the day!

Our favourite excursion! - You don't need to be super fit. You just need to enjoy the dutch countryside and take it easy for a few hours. Kendra was funny, informative and safe. So much better than riding in the city.

What a great Day! - What a fabulous day cycling through beautiful countryside with a delightful, knowledgeable guide and nine other very pleasant companions. I don’t cycle frequently and was a bit apprehensive but the equipment was top notch, safety was important and the wonderful network of Netherlands cycling paths amazing. Can hardly wait to take another trip!
