Remco/Rubio grew up in the area and knows all of the fabulous spots and history. Our favorite stop was a family owned cheese shop where we were able to taste fresh milk and cheese. We were supposed to bike today but it was pouring rain so he offered to drive us in his nice car. We were glad to still be able to see the windmills and scenery. Highly recommend!
Thank you so much Jessica for the nice review. Have a nice stay in Amsterdam
Solo bike tour with local Dutch guide, Rubio. Good communication and met up at Weesp which is just 18 minute train from central station. We biked about 3hours: brown cafe, pass by the castle, see several windmills. One windmill actually spinning with sails. Drank fresh milk and had good cheese. Very pleasant 😎
Thanks Jim for nice company. Hope to see you again for the boat tour next year. All the best. Kind regards, Rubio
Beautiful day exploring the countryside! The weather was perfect and we had lots of stops to rest, hydrate and learn some history.
Thank you Kate and the family. Much appreciated to leave me this nice review. Kind regards from small Amsterdam
What a great way to see and the stunning countryside. Weesp is a pretty town to enjoy lunch or a drink by the river after the tour. We had perfect weather and a very knowledgeable guide. Easy flat ride.
Thank you Australia <3
Remco was a great guide! Had some trouble finding a correct bike for me as I’m short, but he made it happen! The tour was great and we saw everything as promised. Remco is very knowledgeable about the history of the region and the water management systems (canals/windmills/dikes). Great way to see something outside of Amsterdam!
That was a great tour Gil. If you ever come back again, pls give me a shout. Warm regards from the outskirts.
Amazing scenery, windmills, dairy farms, stunning landscapes, nice cheese, fantastic unpasteurzied milk, WW2 remains and much more....I really recommand to this tour. We are a couple in our sixties.
Aboslutely thankful for your sense of humor and nice chats. LOL !
We had an excellent tour with Remco! It was pretty cold and windy with rain so we opted to go by car instead of bike. This was a great option and I was very thankful! The terrain was very flat, so biking would not have been challenging, just the weather was not cooperating. Remco is very friendly and puts you right at ease. It was great to get out of the city and see the picturesque small towns, so charming, pastoral and beautiful! Like a time from long ago! Nothing to compare back in the United Sates, a truly unique experience. Beautiful windmills, canals, and farms. Remco is very knowledgeable and I learned a lot! A must-do experience! I would love to come back for a tulip tour in the spring.
In case of rain, we go with the car. Thanks for the review.
Outstanding tour with Roberto our guide. Outside central Amsterdam viewing Weesp countryside, windmills, the castle, farmland and the visit to the cattle/dairy farmer. Pace was excellent!!
Amen <3
Outstanding tour with Roberto. He paced it out well with explanations and history of this great area 15 mins outside Amsterdam by train. Great scenery of farms, windmills, the castle and the surrounding area. The visit to the cattle farm was awesome and the fresh milk and cheese were great. My wife and I highly recommend!!!!
Grazie mille John & Donna. Enjoy the rest of your holiday !
Remco was on time. He showed us some beautiful parts of the countryside with a trip to a farm. He was knowledgeable about Dutch engineering which we found fascinating. A wonderful day.
Thks for the nice review.
