“We reserved Mike’s Countryside Bike Tour as our last activity when visiting Amsterdam and we’re so happy that we did! It was FANTASTIC from start to finish. The e-bikes were high quality and made the 23 mi round trip a breeze. Christian was an excellent guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and he made everyone in our group feel welcomed. Every stop presented a new experience and offered plenty of photo opportunities. If you don’t take this tour you will miss out on half of the beauty of Amsterdam. We highly recommend this experience!”

“We had a wonderful time making our own cheese and learning all about the whole process and the history behind it all. The breaks we had to take in the process of making the cheese allowed us to do some cheese tasting which was awesome on one break and on the other break we were able to learn about how the famous Dutch Wooden Shoes are made and even got an old fashioned demonstration on how that is done! We had a fantastic day and would recommend this activity to everyone!”

“We had a very nice morning with Gillio. We were picked up on time at 8:30; it was a clean, comfortable vehicle, and he was a good driver. Pleasant conversation as well. Gillio got us to each location ahead of the big tours, so we were able to enjoy each stop without crowds. The windmills were interesting, as was the clog making process. The cheese factory was also an interesting stop. We learned about their ethical cattle farming and were told how the cheese was originally made, but it would have been neat also to see how they make it now. We made purchases at each stop - there was…”
