“We had an unforgettable day on the Bike and Bites tour in Rotterdam with Rob! Our cruise ship arrived late, but Rob and Paul were incredibly accommodating, working seamlessly to ensure we could still complete tour without missing a beat. Their flexibility and warm, welcoming vibe set the tone for an amazing experience. Rob was fantastic with our kids, keeping them engaged, entertained, and safe throughout the entire tour. His enthusiasm made them feel so special, and they’re still talking about him! The biking route was perfect, showcasing Rotterdam’s vibrant sights, and every food stop was a delicious dive into local flavors that we all loved. Rob’s focus on safety…”

The tour begins and ends at Baan 175, includes a bicycle and rain poncho, and runs for about 2 hours 30 minutes.
“We lucked out with a small group of three for this extensive bike tour. The tour and our guide were top notch but the bicycles certainly were not. The three geared bikes did not change gears and some of the riding was more laboring than necessary than if using better bicycles. Especially on bridges!”

Cycle from Rotterdam to Kinderdijk by waterbus and bike with a private guide, usually Marco or Marga. You’ll ride flat paths past canals, farms, wildlife, and windmills, stop for coffee and a local pastry, and visit a working mill or the official windmill museum. The tour lasts about three hours and suits moderately fit riders.
“If I could give the Kinderdijk Bike Tour with Marco six stars, I would! It is well worth it. Marco is an amazing guide and a true Kinderdijk local who got to know me and my friend on the waterbus ride from Rotterdam to Kinderdijk. He then added to the tour and tailored the experience to us. After picking up our e-bikes in Kinderdijk, Marco took us to a village bakery for a delicious pastry and coffee. We then set off for a visit to a working windmill (milling flour) in a nearby village. We spent an hour with one of the volunteer caretakers who had us climbing inside the…”

“Great tour! The guides (we had two, one was training and they were the partners in this company. The one training does the walking tours.) Their English Dutch guides spoke very fluent English. The 7 speed bikes were well maintained and shifted cleanly. My wife said the seat was very comfortable. The tour stops were interesting highlights of Rotterdam but disappointingly skipped Delfshaven the part of the old city that was spared the Nazis bombing of WWII. The one “rest stop” was at a nice cafe that employs former prison inmates. We are glad we got to see the city our first day here. I highly recommend this company.”

The pace is flexible, but rain can affect departure.
“I highly recommend the trip, especially to solo travellers or smaller groups. The pace is individually adjusted, without any rush and it can take longer than the suggested time frame. There is a lot to see: the city and it's suburbs from the ferry, a”
