Thank you for your , feedback it means a lot for us, you and family are always welcome.

Top notch adventure

Cindy_S, Jun 2025

One of the best tours I’ve taken in more than 12 countries. Marco under promised and over delivered which is so rare in a commercially booked App. Our adventure began with a phone call 48 hours prior to inquire if we would like to adjust accordingly to the weather. Unfortunately, it was not possible, so upon our meeting he provided us with appropriate rain attire, warm gloves and even attempted to fabricate booties for us! Every detail was measured with precision and throughout the tour Marco pivoted to customize our experience! Truly the most gracious host with a passion for his community and allowing us to seamlessly emerge ourselves into this spectacular heritage site. The visit to the interior workings of a local windmill was certainly the highlight and unexpected. We will never forget this visit thanks to Marco’s high energy hospitality. Thanks to Marco we also improved our knowledge and ability to capture light on our cameras - creating lasting memories for my daughter and I. Thank you Marco- many blessings to you and your family I hope our paths cross again!

Response from Host, Jun 2025

We really appreciate it. Very much your feedback, thank you for those kind words. Kind regards.

Marco was friendly

Small group tour allowed for a more Personable touch. Nice break in the country side with some wine and snacks.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thanks very much, Kelly we really appreciate it, You are welcome any time.

Great day outside the city!

Larissa_H, Apr 2024

I highly recommend the trip, especially to solo travellers or smaller groups. The pace is individually adjusted, without any rush and it can take longer than the suggested time frame. There is a lot to see: the city and it's suburbs from the ferry, a beautiful countryside, canals, cows, birds and many historic windmills (one also from inside). Apart from that, there is the opportunity to eat a superb homemade apple pie at a more distant windmill with a unique, authentic atmosphere!

Response from Host, May 2024

Thank you very much, Larissa we really appreciate it. you are welcome any time.

Brilliant communication.

deborah_g, Apr 2024

We weren’t able to participate in the tour due to rain and wind speeds of 41mph however this disappointment was greatly eased by Marco, the guide. He phoned us the day before to check out our cycling experience and then arranged e-bikes for us. He phoned on the morning to discuss weather. He was very flexible and he allowed us to cancel due to the bad weather. He continued to communicate brilliantly and sent us all the correspondence in relation to the refund and he phoned again a few hours later to check all was ok. Marco was very fair and his communication was outstanding. I hope he has a good season and not too much wet weather. He deserves to do well.

Thank you very much for your feedback Debora, we appreciate it. Regards

Beautiful idyllic tour of a Dutch National Treasure

Deborah_K, Sep 2023

This fun bike tour was one of the highlights of my trip to the Netherlands. Kinderjik is a UNESCO World heritage site where you can see authentic, original, working windmills that are also homes to full time residents who maintain these national treasures. The idyllic area is full of waterways, bridges and bird life that can be viewed and photographed close up. My guide, Marco, lives in Kinderjik with his wife and children. I travelled by train, only 47 minutes from Utrecht and Marco met me at the train station. He knows the Kinderjik area well and took me to beautiful viewpoints and places that I would not have accessed on my own. He also introduced me to some of the people there including a lovely cheese farmer to sample amazing local cheeses. Marco was an attentive, patient, knowledgeable guide, sensitive to my objectives and needs, while also being respectful and aware of the people who live there and the eco systems. He is also good at photography and took some beautifully composed photos for me with my cell phone. The bikes we used are near new and a helmet was even offered too. The flat terrain and well maintained trails are easy to traverse. The tour also provided some high quality Dutch country foods and a great coffee. It was an absolutely perfect relaxing day. Considering everything included—water bus ticket, rental bike, food, admission to the area, and a personal guide it is great value for the money. I feel like I saw the real Holland and not just another tourist trap. Highly recommend (Try to get on a tour with Marco if possible).

Amazing windmills ride!

Letizia_R, Jun 2023

The bike ride through the amazing windmills field was the best part along with the break in the local shop! I would definitely recommend this experience!

cycling around the windmills

Julian_D, May 2023

Marco was a great guide - he also does the photography tour so he offered some great tips on getting the best photos of the windmills. he was also very accommodating as part of our group needed an earlier departure from Rotterdam. perfect weather for seeing the windmills and the Dutch countryside.

Rain couldn’t stop our amazing biking day around the windmills

Jennifer_H, May 2023

Marco was amazing and provided a wonderful day, even in super rainy weather. We got to ride by the local farms, learn about the agriculture industry, and see lots of wild and domesticated animals. The visit to the local cheese factory was a special stop. Biking was definitely the way to go because we got to see so much more. Marco was really great as a guide. He was in constant communication with us to make sure our arrival and tour were effortless. Marco also enjoyed sharing the local insights which made our day even more enjoyable. This day was one of our best days of our trip.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you so much Jennifer for this review. I enjoyed very much showing you around and sharing this experience with you. It was very nice to meet you and your family, and thanks again for booking the tour and the wonderful day we spent together. All the best, Marco.

Absolutely phenomenal!!!

Lisa_D, Jun 2022

If you really want a full Kinderdijk tour this is it! Marcos takes you on a relaxing ride through the countryside and brings you right to the center of the windmills. Aside from being very friendly and informative, Marco knows the best angles for the most beautiful pictures. I cannot recommend this tour enough! Also, follow Marco on Instagram…TravelKinderdijk!!

Response from Host, Jun 2022

Hello Lisa. Thank you so much for the excellent feedback. We are happy that you enjoyed your experience with us. We look forward to serving you again soon. Marco.
