Nice leisurely ride.

The ride was nice and easy, Augustine was really friendly and knew alot about the area. If you get the 3 hr with a cruise, the bike ride is actually only 2 1/2, then you have to walk to the cruise boat ( you have abt 30 mins to get there) and that is another hour.

Beautiful Ride!

We signed up for this on a whim at the end of our trip. We thoroughly enjoyed traveling through Amsterdam's countryside. We were a little intimidated to ride bikes throughout our week in Amsterdam. However, if we had done this excursion at the beginning of our trip, that hesitation may not have been present. Our guide was great, took us through the countryside, stopped for ice cream, told us about some of the different sites we were seeing. It was overall an excellent experience.

They gave me a bicycle with a bore tire

They gave me a hollowed tire and we had to wait 20 minutes in the middle of the cold for the guy to bring another to continue the ride.

Day on wheels!

It was a fantastic ride. The little Dutch villages are beautiful and this bike route is a different and special way to see them, Dutch style. We have felt more confident when it comes to cycling accompanied by a professional, very attentive and friendly. Recommended 100%!
