Sebastian is amazing!

Absolutely amazing tour. We were lucky enough to have a private tour with Sebastian since everyone canceled due to the rain. Everything was so beautiful and Sebastian shared so much history with us.

not what is advertised

u see one windmill for 2 seconds and its part of a bar lol, we got basically no fun facts the whole time maybe 1 or 2 here and there. the cheese was not that good and you dont learn anything at the farm. seems like false advertising overall. would not go again just get a bike yourself.

The bike ride was...

The bike ride was beautiful, but definitely a little chaotic getting out of the city! Especially with our 12-year-old. Once out of the city, the landscapes are beautiful and the villages we toured were very charming. Our tour guide is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind and interesting. I do recommend a smaller tour groups with kids.
