Fantastic bike tour - My husband, daughter and I went on the bike tour through Kinderdijk with Marco. He was so kind and patient. He picked us up from our hotel and we took the ferry to Kinderdijk, rented the e-bikes and proceeded to ride through the countryside. We went to this adorable little bakery and were treated with a delicious latte and coffee cake. We then took a tour of a grain windmill, which was extremely interesting, The two volunteers who ran the mill were so informative and entertaining. We then took the rest of the bike tour, which I enjoyed the most. Riding through the country, along the canals and farms and, of course, the beautiful windmills, was an experience of a lifetime! We had an amazing time and owe it all to Marco. Such an amazing experience!!

Must do tour! - We had an amazing time riding bikes through the trails seeing the local sites to include a historical and informative tour of. 3 rd generation working windmill with stones to grind flour. The scenery of the local farms with cattle and summer homes with gorgeous gardens and flowers was a true highlight. All in all a splendid bike tour with a friendly and informative guide who stopped at all the scenic locations to ensure we had wonderful photographic memories of our day. The best part was that our tour was willing to make modifications to our agenda to meet our needs. We would highly recommend this tour. Fantastic!

A wonderful experience of Kinderdijk with a local guide. - Marco was excellent. He catered to our needs and provided a great experience interacting with local people. Cafe visit tasting local cake and beer. Private tour to experience inside a working windmill which was fantastic. Lunch at another local Cafe and tour and tasting at local cheese factory. A really enjoyable and fantastic experience. All while biking through the countryside. Marco chose ebikes for us as it was very windy, thankfully. His experience and knowledge made this a great day for us. Thankyou Marco.

Great Private/Small Group Bike Tour - What a great private tour. Our guide Marco called us the day before to arrange to meet for the tour. He offered to start the tour earlier because of the warm weather. He greeted us at the water taxi dock in Rotterdam, got us on the boat and paid for the two-way fare. Marco offered to tailor the trip based upon our preference: the pace of the ride, the focus of our visit (photography, mills, scenery), etc. Upon landing we picked up our rental bikes, stopped at a local cafe for some coffee and snack (included in the tour price) and then started our bike ride. We started in the area outside of the UNESCO site, riding along the river to the two nearby towns. We rode along an uncrowded path along farm fields with cows and visited a family windmill. We were lucky enough to find the mill keeper onsite who gave a tour inside the mill and gave us some family history. Marco brought a bottle of wine, glasses, nuts, cheese and cucumber for a mid-day snack. We rode back through the towns past lovely personal gardens and stopped at a local cheese factory/shop for tasting. Finally we made our way through the UNESCO Kinderdijk site for some great views and pictures. Marco made sure to get us back to the docks in time for our trip back to Rotterdam. Marco, who lives in Kinderdijk, was a funny and friendly guy and very easy to talk to. It was a perfect day.

Very worth your time and money! - I had a private tour with Marco and let me tell you 100/10! As a solo female traveler, it is hard to feel comfortable and trusting HOWEVER Marco is incredible. Great with communication (even customized the tour time to better fit my schedule), was so kind and helpful! We had such a great time together and he is an AMAZING photographer! Would recommend this tour to anyone traveling in the Netherlands!

Exceeded Expectations - The Kinderdijk bike tour was probably the highlight of our recent 10-day tour of the Netherlands. The scenery was at times spectacular, the weather was perfect, the bikes were in excellent condition, and Marco was a kind, patient, knowledgeable guide, who was exceedingly generous with his time. This tour gives you a very different feel for the Netherlands than you can get in Amsterdam or other Dutch cities, and helps you to understand how critical hydrology and water management are to this low-lying society. It also provides you with a delightful lunch overlooking the Dutch countryside, and plenty of opportunities for seeing livestock and waterfowl. I highly recommend this tour!

MARCO's tour of Kinderdijk biking is INCREDIBLE. - We knew we would enjoy your Kinderdijk biking tour because we bike a lot and because we love Windmills, both of which we would be getting. What we " hoped" to get was a good tour guide....but who we got was an incredible young man, MARCO! His home being there on Kinderdijk added a personal passion to his informative guide of the areas. MARCO customizes his tours to the time allotted and the wishes of his clients, so we rode to a lot of windmills and never felt rushed. Photo Ops were @ perfect stopping sites. We even stopped for coffee and apple streusel cake. MARCO'S personality & enthusiasm added total fun to an already WOW day. We also appreciated his prompt replies to our emails prior to the tour. The bikes were good for the tour...not e- bikes; not needed for the terrain. No helmets. We will definitely recommend MARCO and look forward to returning with family. Thank you Sherry and Tom June 23
