  • 5Great way to see the Windmills of Kinderdijk

    This was a wonderful way to see the windmills. I was lucky to get Marco as my guide. And I was the only one in his group for the day. He was very sincere in making sure that this experience was tailored to what I wanted. I chose to use an ebike for this tour. I'm a 60ish y/o woman in fairly good shape but having the ebike made for a perfect experience. The route is fairly flat but you will be on the bike for several hours. We stopped to view a windmill and learned so much about the history of windmills and the surrounding area (be prepared to climb steep ladders and be comfortable in a tight space)! Also stopped and had a quick bite to eat then back on the bike to see more windmills. Marco stopped a few times to make sure we took good pictures (he's a very good photographer so knows how to make each picture look special). Overall this was one of the highlights of my two week vacation to Europe. It helped that it was a beautiful sunny fall day!

  • 5One of the top things to do in the Netherlands!

    Fantastic tour of areas you rarely get to see. Helped to work a windmill and climb inside to the top, cycled through meadows with cows and canals, tasted local Gouda. Couldn’t have had a better tour of local Kinderdyjk countryside.

  • 5Bike tour at Kinderdijk

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Wonderful Day in Kinderdijk Our bike tour of Kinderdijk with Arjan was such a beautiful way to end our visit to the Netherlands. It was the perfect escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and gave us the opportunity to experience the stunning Dutch countryside in such a unique way. The scenery was spectacular — cycling alongside the canals, taking in the beautiful countryside and, of course, the iconic windmills. We were incredibly lucky to have such a personal tour of one of the windmills, which made the experience even more special. We also really enjoyed our visit to the cheese factory, and Arjan’s wealth of knowledge throughout the day added so much to the experience. He was friendly, informative and clearly passionate about the area and its history. It was a thoroughly enjoyable day from start to finish and a wonderful way to see a different side of the Netherlands. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area — an unforgettable experience! 🚲🇳🇱💚

  • 5Fabulous bike tour

    The bike tour was a great experience. Arjan our guide was terrific. He was knowledgeable, personable, and a fun guide. It included a private tour of a windmill by the owner of the windmill. It was definitely the highlight of our trip to Amsterdam.

  • 5Windmills,Swans,cheese, and the countryside

    Our guide, Marco could not have been nicer. He accommodated our every need. The guided tour of a working Windmill by the family owner and his friend was extraordinary!.. we climbed ladders inside to the top with the owner as he described and demonstrated his grinding mill. This was by far a highlight. Marco took us on an e-bike thru the countryside with multiple stops and lunch. We would highly recommend this tour

  • 5Enjoyed every part

    Great way to learn about the history and culture from a local. Our guide Arjan truley loved his land and was so informative and personal . The beauty of the land was easy to enjoy with the bike. The windmill experience was amazing, to be able to see and understand how they work by climbing inside was awesome

About Rotterdam

Rotterdam is a modern Dutch port city rebuilt after 1940, known for bold architecture, a huge harbour, the Cube Houses, a market hall and waterfront views.

Rotterdam was bombed in May 1940 and rebuilt in a modern style, so it is unlike the old canal towns of the Netherlands: glass towers, bridges and daring architecture line the Nieuwe Maas river, which is crossed by the white Erasmus Bridge. It has Europe's largest seaport, and the harbour can be toured by boat. Delfshaven, a small quarter of old canals that survived the bombs, is where the Pilgrim Fathers left in 1620.

Top-ranked sights in Rotterdam: Markthal (Market Hall) , Church of St. Lawrence (Sint Laurenskerk), Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge).
