Ride from Amsterdam to windmills, villages, canals, cheese, and clogs on a four-hour e-bike tour with a local guide.

“The Amsterdam countryside is beautiful…green fields, lots of cows, some sheep and goats. We saw one traditional windmill and two current windmills. Our guide, Rissa, was informative at each of our stops, giving us the historical and current stories. She set a good pace and was very aware of our needs. If some of us got behind she stopped the group for all to catch up. The treat of a stroopwaffel was thoughtful. It is a long bike ride but well worth the effort. I would do it again!”

“This was an exceptional day in the small towns outside of Amsterdam. We had the privilege to enjoy our day with our guide Tuen. He was obviously proud of his home and was a wealth of knowledge. We loved experiencing the inner workings of the windmills, tasting many flavors of cheese, and driving through the tight streets in the villages. He chose a picturesque location for a delicious and authentic lunch. He worked extra hard to make every minute count and recognized the importance to get us back to the ship on time. Thanks a million Tuen (aka Mr. T)”
