“My 20-year-old daughter and I just returned from a week in Amsterdam. The bike tour was one of my favorite activities! We started in the northern part of the city, but then went far out into the countryside, rode thru some little fishing villages, and visited a cheese factory. The path is very flat and very easy, although she wanted to try e-bikes and they were easy to use. you could do this with a regular bike quite easily with moderate fitness level. It’s fantastic way to see the surrounding area and our tour guide was wonderful.”
