This was an exceptional experience. The views were spectacular, the history was incredible and our guide, Gabe was amazing. The only suggestion to make it even better would be to have headphones in the helmets to hear Gabe along the way. Thanks for an awesome day. Pat & Sue Cunningham

Our tour guide Joanna and the team were incredibly welcoming, making the experience truly memorable. We were lucky with perfect weather on a Sunday, enhancing the beauty of the already stunning route. As a first-timer on an e-bike, I was pleasantly surprised by how smooth and enjoyable the ride was. With a small group and well-kept roads, I felt completely safe throughout. It was such a positive experience, and I’ll definitely be back for more e-bike adventures. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a fun and hassle-free outdoor activity!

The staff was very professional and answered all our questions prior to setting out on the trip. The bike paths once out of the city center were flat and easy to travel on. Gave a great view of the surrounding countryside and ponders. Enjoyed seeing the waterfowl and rabbits in the fields. I found Zaanse Schans a bit crowded with tour groups but great views of the windmills.

We really enjoyed our e-bike tour! Joanna was our tour guide and she was so friendly. The e-bikes made the trip simple once you understood how to use them. It made moving quickly and climbing the few small hills very easy, even for 50 year olds who aren’t super fit. The time at Zaanse Schans is a little short but it’s so very touristy that it worked for us. If we had wanted to go and do everything, there just wouldn’t have been enough time. This tour took us through a nature reserve, into some smaller villages, through farmland and more. Thank you to Joanna for a great tour!

Joanna is very good guide and intriguing person. The guide is a classical trained cellist who speaks multiple languages. She is a good hearted person and attentive to the needs of the group. Very honored to have such a talented and kind guide.
