    Unforgettable tour
    Marco is an excellent guide. He arranged a custom bike tour for my fiancee and I on short notice: finding e-bikes, getting them to our starting point, and guiding us skillfully from Dordrecht to Kinderdijk. Because he has lived in Kinderdijk area for many years, he was able to arrange an amazing, detailed tour of a local windmill that I will never forget.

    Beautiful Kinderdijk windmill tour
    We did this tour in May 2024. There was four of us in the tour with Marco and also Rico, a guide in training. We met Our guides at the boat taxi and took a short trip on the river to Kinderdijk. Marco and Rico we very knowledgeable about the area and were very easy to converse with during the trip. We then stopped at a wonderfull pastry shop. Then walked to get great views of the windmills. We went inside the windmill and then took the boat ride back to the shops for shopping. Then back on the boat to the dock. Marco was knowledgeable about photography and took many scenic photos of us with our phones. We only had phones for pictures but Marco was able to operate a variety of cameras. He even showed us a thing or two about how to use our phones. This was a very enjoyable tour. The walking was on even ground and not strenuous. I highly recommend taking this tour

    Highly recommended, bucket list item
    It is a must-go experience, riding a bike in this historical and charming site, seeing the windmills and fields. The trip also includes the waterbus from Rotterdam which gave you good sightseeing on the shoreline. The guide Marco is excellent and attentive. He shared good information about the area, Kinderjik. It’s easy pace ride and we went 2.5 hours without knowing it. Good point stops we could take a break and nice pictures. I came from Amsterdam and it’s only 30 mins train if you can catch the direct train. The whole trip started 10am ended at 3pm, I could still spend couple more hours in Rotterdam for sightseeing.

    Bike the Windmills! It's the best way!!!
    Marco was an excellent host and guide. Very attentive and made sure we knew exactly where to go and what to do. He lives in Kinderdijk so took us a little off the beaten path and to the best places for photos. He is a very good photographer! The tour can be as short or as long as you wish given the boat schedule from Rotterdam, which makes it really nice. Also, if you are a birder, it is wonderful. Highly recommend this tour and Marco as your guide. It is not strenuous. It is relaxing, and the air is as fresh as it gets.

    Fantastic personalized tour
    My son and I did this tour mid November with Marco. He picked us up at our hotel in Rotterdam and guided us every step of the way as we boated to Kinderdijk, teaching us about the area. It was a lovely relaxing and scenic day for both of us. Highly recommend!

    A perfect way to spend the day behind (or in front) of the camera!
    I have nothing but praise for Marco who went out of his way to make this tour a special day and to accommodate my requests. I’m a newbie photographer, and I learned lots. Marco was patient and creative with an excellent eye to choose the best spots. The site itself is stunning and a photographer’s dream, and there’s time to visit inside a windmill too. 5 stars all the way!

    Beautiful, relaxed and personalized tour!!!
    An amazing and relaxed bicycle tour through the countryside and into the Kinderdijk windmill area. Marco is informative, personable and fits the tour to your interest. He also knows the best angles for beautiful photos.! There was time to walk through the windmill that is now a museum and stop at the local cafe (with gorgeous views of the windmills) for a coffee and desert.

I travelled to Rotterdam with my husband who was attending a conference. I signed up to do a bike tour on my own while he was busy. I was a little nervous to do a tour solo, however I was immediately put at easy by Marco! He is a great conversationalist and is very talented at offering interesting information about the sights you are seeing as well as letting you have space to absorb and reflect during the experience. It is very obvious he takes great care to assure his guests have an incredible time - mission accomplished for me. He even took the time to offer me photography tips and I got some great shots with his guidance. It was truly a beautiful experience, I learned about Dutch culture and had a great time away from the busy city. Marco has planned every detail - at one point it started to rain quite hard and he pulled out a rain suit for me so we could keep biking! A highlight is the coffee/cake stop about half-way through the tour. Serene and peaceful and the shopkeeper is a delight. Take this tour, you won't be disappointed.

What a great private tour. Our guide Marco called us the day before to arrange to meet for the tour. He offered to start the tour earlier because of the warm weather.
He greeted us at the water taxi dock in Rotterdam, got us on the boat and paid for the two-way fare. Marco offered to tailor the trip based upon our preference: the pace of the ride, the focus of our visit (photography, mills, scenery), etc. Upon landing we picked up our rental bikes, stopped at a local cafe for some coffee and snack (included in the tour price) and then started our bike ride. We started in the area outside of the UNESCO site, riding along the river to the two nearby towns. We rode along an uncrowded path along farm fields with cows and visited a family windmill. We were lucky enough to find the mill keeper onsite who gave a tour inside the mill and gave us some family history. Marco brought a bottle of wine, glasses, nuts, cheese and cucumber for a mid-day snack. We rode back through the towns past lovely personal gardens and stopped at a local cheese factory/shop for tasting. Finally we made our way through the UNESCO Kinderdijk site for some great views and pictures. Marco made sure to get us back to the docks in time for our trip back to Rotterdam. Marco, who lives in Kinderdijk, was a funny and friendly guy and very easy to talk to. It was a perfect day.

My father and I had a fantastic time with Marco on the Kinderdijk ride. He was an informative guide, very generous with his time, and we had a splendid ride and very enjoyable day with him, that included some improvised stops and wonderful weather (for which he was very well prepared). Highly recommend taking this tour, which was one of our highlights of our stay in the Rotterdam area, and Marco will take good care of you-- the ride is beautiful and calming.

Wanted to see the famous windmills up close and enjoy the countryside but we didn't expect to get to go inside a working windmill to see how it works and look at how it is put together, plus get the chance to help with the sails. Marco went above and beyond. (probably helped we had a vert small group) Then to taste some home grown cheese's on the way back, just sensational. Highly recommend to anyone.

Renting a bike and doing your own tour is very simple and inexpensive. To rent a bike, head to the Tourist Info Center-walk just past the center; go down a driveway and you will see many bike to the right. Friendly courteous folks and pay with credit card, if you wish. Bike rental 8 euros a day. Also have ebikes at 20 euros.
We just followed the bike route that runs along the canal. We didn't buy tour tickets since we had done that several times. I am sure you can get tickets for tours at the Tourist Info Center.

The Kinderdijk bike tour was probably the highlight of our recent 10-day tour of the Netherlands. The scenery was at times spectacular, the weather was perfect, the bikes were in excellent condition, and Marco was a kind, patient, knowledgeable guide, who was exceedingly generous with his time. This tour gives you a very different feel for the Netherlands than you can get in Amsterdam or other Dutch cities, and helps you to understand how critical hydrology and water management are to this low-lying society. It also provides you with a delightful lunch overlooking the Dutch countryside, and plenty of opportunities for seeing livestock and waterfowl. I highly recommend this tour!

Biking around the Dutch countryside was truly a unique experience with Marco. Not only was the scenery itself worth seeing, but our tour was customized for us so that we could do things we wanted to try while there. Specifically, we had read about the Dutch delicacy of eating raw herring and had mention it to Marco. He was able to bring us to a local food stand selling fresh seafood and we were able to try the herring! Actually was pretty tasty! Also, we were able to try fresh cheese and had other delightful experiences along the tour. We did the full day tour. If you have any sort of physical impairment, and I mean ANY, I recommend the half day. My husband and I are generally physically fit and 15 miles on a bike was a challenge for us but well worth it! There’s nothing I felt like we missed on this tour and Marco’s insight into the areas history and connections with the locals made this a top experience for us! So glad we did it!

Marco was superb. We were traveling with 3 small children. He went out of his way to make sure we got to the right place, meeting us at the train station. In Kinderdijk he was able to find bikes that fit even the smallest one in our group. He tailored the tour to the kids, keeping everyone happy and just at the right speed. Marco lives in Kinderdijk, was knowledgeable of the area/history and seems to know all the locals, which made for a fun trip. Kids loved it. Definitely would recommend.

Marco was excellent. He catered to our needs and provided a great experience interacting with local people. Cafe visit tasting local cake and beer. Private tour to experience inside a working windmill which was fantastic. Lunch at another local Cafe and tour and tasting at local cheese factory. A really enjoyable and fantastic experience. All while biking through the countryside. Marco chose ebikes for us as it was very windy, thankfully. His experience and knowledge made this a great day for us. Thankyou Marco.

Had a wonderful time with Marco on a bike tour of the Kinderdijk area. Marco is very knowledgeable, kind, brought along wine and cheese and even somehow arranged for a beautiful sunny day. What more could you ask for? Highly recommend.
