We had an amazing time on Kinderdijk. Marco was very accommodating and arranged timing from the celebrity cruise terminal. He helped me arranged a surprise breakfast for my wife on her birthday. The electric bikes were the right way to go. Bring your rain coats!!! He takes some time to respond to questions, seems like he runs a one man show
We had an amazing time and enjoyed every minute. The guide, Arjan, went above and beyond to ensure that we experience a real Dutch experience. Very well organized, explanations, frequent stops for explanations, lunch at a lovely local windmill. Highly recommend the tour operator, the guide and the whole experience.
Hello Henriette We appreciate it very much your feedback, thank very much, you are alway welcome any time.
Amazing tour! Great way to see the windmills and the countryside. Marco does a great job making sure you see it all!!! The tour of the actual windmill is so interesting. And then biking further out and having lunch was magical. This is a great tour with families. We used an E bike which made biking very easy. I highly recommend this.
It's great to hear from you and family that you really enjoyed the bike experience in the countryside, thank you very much for your feedback. Have a nice day.

Thank you for your , feedback it means a lot for us, you and family are always welcome.
We had a wonderful time riding bikes and learning about windmill operations. Our guide Marco was very personable and informative. He made sure we saw what we wanted to see. We thoroughly enjoyed our time on the bike tour and our guide made it even better than expected.
Dear, Sara thank you very much, for your feedback. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thought with us. Thank you.
We had an excellent cycling tour of Kinderdijk with Marco. He made all of the arrangements so all we had to do was follow his lead and enjoy the day. The windmills and surrounding area are beautiful. He even arranged for us to tour a working windmill and learn about the century-old technology behind how they function. It was a wonderful outing.
Dear Friend. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, which is highly. We hope to have the please of welcoming you on another tour in the future. Thank you.
I went on a solo windmill tour in Kinderdijk with Marco, and it was honestly amazing! 🌟 He’s not only super knowledgeable about the history and engineering of the windmills, but also makes everything fun and easy to understand. Since it was just me, Marco made the tour really personal—he let me set the pace, answered all my random questions, and shared great stories that made the place come alive. I never felt rushed, just relaxed and able to really take it all in. Kinderdijk is stunning on its own, but having Marco as a guide made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting, I can’t recommend him enough!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review. We're thriller to hear you had such an amazing and personal experience on your solo cycling tour of Kinderdijk. You recommendation means a lot to us. we hope you'll have the chance to visit Kinderdijk agin soon. Thank you.
One of the best tours I’ve taken in more than 12 countries. Marco under promised and over delivered which is so rare in a commercially booked App. Our adventure began with a phone call 48 hours prior to inquire if we would like to adjust accordingly to the weather. Unfortunately, it was not possible, so upon our meeting he provided us with appropriate rain attire, warm gloves and even attempted to fabricate booties for us! Every detail was measured with precision and throughout the tour Marco pivoted to customize our experience! Truly the most gracious host with a passion for his community and allowing us to seamlessly emerge ourselves into this spectacular heritage site. The visit to the interior workings of a local windmill was certainly the highlight and unexpected. We will never forget this visit thanks to Marco’s high energy hospitality. Thanks to Marco we also improved our knowledge and ability to capture light on our cameras - creating lasting memories for my daughter and I. Thank you Marco- many blessings to you and your family I hope our paths cross again!
We really appreciate it. Very much your feedback, thank you for those kind words. Kind regards.
This was so much more than just a visit to Kinderdijk! Our guide Marco was incredibly friendly and even helped us navigate the waterbus to get there. The cycling route was beautiful, taking us through the countryside with stops for tasty local pastries, a lovely lunch, and even a visit to a cheese shop. A real highlight was visiting a working windmill, meeting locals who showed us how it operates, and even getting hands-on inside! This tour offered a perfect mix of nature, culture, and authentic Dutch experiences. Highly recommended !
Thanks a lot Yuki . Thanks for your visit and we really appreciate it. You feedback.
Marco is an excellent guide. He arranged a custom bike tour for my fiancee and I on short notice: finding e-bikes, getting them to our starting point, and guiding us skillfully from Dordrecht to Kinderdijk. Because he has lived in Kinderdijk area for many years, he was able to arrange an amazing, detailed tour of a local windmill that I will never forget.
Hello Ted, thank you very much for your feedback, we really appreciate it,. Kind regards
