“The electric bike country side tour was a hit! 5/5 recommend this company and bike tour through the city of Amsterdam to a nearby windmill and farm. We went with 2 small children (ages 2 and 4) and it was perfect. I communicated with the guide ahead of time to ensure the appropriate bike and seats were available for the kids. We used an electric cargo bike and both kids sat comfortably together. The kids especially loved seeing the animals and tasting the cheese. I enjoyed the serene beauty of the countryside and listening to the guide explain the history of the city.”
