Description
The landscape behind the Kinderdijk windmills is just as impressive. You do not want to miss this beautiful cycling tour. It will bring you great insights in the Dutch watermanagement system, beautiful sceneries and skies and of course lots of fresh air! This river-landscape tour is completed with a coffee-break at a nice local spot, tasting home-made icecream at a farm and enjoying a snack in the fields. You will enjoy entering Kinderdijk from another point of view. At Kinderdijk we will first visit the biological cheesefarm where you can taste and buy cheese. This tour ends in the Kinderdijk windmills area, where you will not miss anything as we included the entrance to the official visitor windmill.
Your private guide speaks fluent English or Spanish.
Please note: if you wish to buy cheese at the farm, payments have to be made in cash or by PIN. Creditcard payments unfortunately will be not accepted.

Kinderdyjk biking tour.
Unfortunately we were not picked up at the meeting point. There was a miscommunication on the part of the operator. He was as helpful as he could be, and although we were unable to tour with him he gave us helpful suggestions and refunded our tickets immediately.
Operator response
Dear Rick.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry that the miscommunication at the pickup point disrupted your plans, missing out on the ride is definitely not the experience we want for our guest. While we are glad our guide could step in quickly to assist with recommendations and process your prompt refund, we regret that we didn't get the chance to show you the Kinderdijk windmills from the saddle. We've since reviewed our pick up coordination to make sure instructions are clear for the future tours. If you travels ever bring you back to the area, we would love the opportunity to make it right and give you the smooth, scenic ride you originally set out for.

Fantastic, authentic and personalized tour
This was a wonderful tour! We enjoyed every minute of it, even the traditional Dutch rain. 😉 The two gentlemen at the mill were fabulous. They were so kind and interactive with my teenage son (who is very hard to engage) and I am still fascinated by how the mill functions and how much work it is to operate! We also very much enjoyed the lunch stop, and the stop at the dairy. Our guide was very informative and just the perfect amount of friendly - never inauthentic or overbearing. It was a very memorable and authentic experience. Taking the Tour by bicycle was definitely the way to go. It made it even more authentic, and the ride was easy.

Kinderdijk windmills and bike trails
We had an amazing time on Kinderdijk. Marco was very accommodating and arranged timing from the celebrity cruise terminal. He helped me arranged a surprise breakfast for my wife on her birthday. The electric bikes were the right way to go. Bring your rain coats!!! He takes some time to respond to questions, seems like he runs a one man show
Operator response
It was a pleasure having you and wife visit us. Thank you again for your kind words. Have a nice day.

A lovely day at Unesco Kinderdijk and Surrounding Areas.
We had an amazing time and enjoyed every minute. The guide, Arjan, went above and beyond to ensure that we experience a real Dutch experience. Very well organized, explanations, frequent stops for explanations, lunch at a lovely local windmill. Highly recommend the tour operator, the guide and the whole experience.

Magical Tour
Amazing tour! Great way to see the windmills and the countryside. Marco does a great job making sure you see it all!!! The tour of the actual windmill is so interesting. And then biking further out and having lunch was magical. This is a great tour with families. We used an E bike which made biking very easy. I highly recommend this.
Operator response

Fun windmill and cycling tour
We had an excellent cycling tour of Kinderdijk with Marco. He made all of the arrangements so all we had to do was follow his lead and enjoy the day. The windmills and surrounding area are beautiful. He even arranged for us to tour a working windmill and learn about the century-old technology behind how they function. It was a wonderful outing.
Operator response
Dear Friend. We sincerely appreciate your feedback, which is highly. We hope to have the please of welcoming you on another tour in the future. Thank you.

Solo tour
I went on a solo windmill tour in Kinderdijk with Marco, and it was honestly amazing! 🌟 He’s not only super knowledgeable about the history and engineering of the windmills, but also makes everything fun and easy to understand.
Since it was just me, Marco made the tour really personal—he let me set the pace, answered all my random questions, and shared great stories that made the place come alive. I never felt rushed, just relaxed and able to really take it all in.
Kinderdijk is stunning on its own, but having Marco as a guide made the experience unforgettable. If you’re visiting, I can’t recommend him enough!
Operator response

Top notch adventure
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!
Operator response
We really appreciate it. Very much your feedback, thank you for those kind words.
Kind regards.
